I'm bustin' out the hauls at the moment!  I didn't think I'd be able to get everything edited & out on time, but I've been working really hard despite being held back with certain technological problems and it's kind of paying off!  Hope you like my latest AW14 haul, a little more colourful than my previous fall haul!  Let me know what you think of the items, and for more information from the video, make sure you check out the description.

PS. My editorial is now up on the Fashion Union site - take a look!

So a couple of weeks ago I was very kindly asked if I would like to attend the shoot for the first Fashion Union TV ad, and I always love seeing what goes down behind the scenes, so of course I HAD to go along!

I got an exclusive sneaky peek from the new AW14 collection, some of which I've been able to share with you guys, so..you heard it here first!  This season is all about colour and textures - bright fur coats with an edge, loud prints, layering, and of course super soft, snuggly knitwear!  Fashion Union are on point with it all so make sure you check back to their site often to get your hands on the new collection!

The shoot was based around a rotating cube - sounds a little basic but seriously, go watch the vlog because the final shots look absolutely insane, wish I could pull the same shapes as the pros!  After watching them all day I did get to have my own little mini shoot, which I'll make sure to post on here as I love how they've turned out, but for now you'll have to make do with the BTS footage (;

The ad will be released in September, so keep an eye on your television screens.  Until then, to see more photos from the shoot, including a sneak peek of my own mini editorial, make sure you check out the Fashion Union Instagram!

Sunday Summary Week 169

      
1/ Love the Fashion Union AW collection!  2/ 60's inspired make-up for the FU shoot
3/ Pretty new nails  4/ Lottie doin' her thang at the FU shoot
5/ That's a wrap!  6/ Pretty pressies from the lovely Fashion Union team!

This Sunday Summary is pretty much a Fashion Union special!  I was busy all week with work, then travelled up to Manchester for a couple of days so all my Instagrams are from my time with FU.  I was the exclusive blogger for behind the scenes at their FIRST TV commercial shoot and I'll be posting about my time there properly very soon - for the time being make sure you check out their shop and give them a quick follow on Instagram!

COBALT AZTEC

Earrings* // Persunmall
Cami* // Fashion Union
Skirt* // Fashion Union
Heels* // iKrush
Rings // The Bohemian Co.*, Rachel Sudlow, Primark, Hunter Gatherer*, Regal Rose, vintage

Wearing the same shoes two outfits in a row - bad blogger!  I'm actually currently blogging on the train back from Manchester so there's a high chance someone could be reading this over my shoulder as I type but internet was like £2 and I don't think I could handle another 4 hour train journey without an internet fix (very sad I know).  I did some awesome stuff with Missguided today so I'm in a really good mood despite having been awake since 6am and I can't wait to share everything when it's ready!  In the meantime you can see some snaps from the day on my Instagram and Missguided's Instagram - one of my photos even made the popular page which is crazy!
Anyway I can tell I'm rambling as pretty much all I just typed was completely irrelevant to this outfit.  I've yet to own a sequin mini skirt so this one from Fashion Union was a welcome addition to my growing family of skirts, and I thought the cami would bring out the blue tones in it, which coincidentally I think contrasts nicely with my hair (is it just me or do I say that a lot?).  Moving on..apart from this whole text just being a massive tired brain fart I hope you like this outfit byeeee!

MIDNIGHT MOONLIGHT

Fedora hat // H&M (similar)
Necklace // Regal Rose
Dress* // Motel Rocks

Cardigan* // SheInside
Bag // Vivienne Westwood
Shoes* // Fashion Union
Rings // Bohemian Co*, Persunmall*, Vintage, market, Diamonfire*, market

A very cosmic outfit today!  I thought it might be a bit overkill with two items of clothing featuring moons but I actually think they go together really nicely.  The cardigan is such a unique piece and I didn't actually realise it had a big moon on the back until I received it which was a really pleasant surprise!  I think this Motel dress fits perfectly and the lace up detail adds a nice touch, Motel are always on point and this dress is no exception!

So this is the first of a couple of different Halloween themed outfits for my blog!  I was asked to style up a piece from the Missguided Sweet Deal collection so went for a simple bardot dress, thinking I'd do some kind of vampire or witch look.  I wanted to strike a balance between a costume and an actual fashionable outfit so kept it simple, with some halloweeny accessories.  I love the shape of this off the shoulder dress, and if you take away the chain and broomstick (and maybe add some more winter appropriate tights) it's a simple and wearable ensemble!

This photo has been entered into the Missguided HalloWIN competition - it would be awesome if you could vote for me by liking this photo, and in doing that you're also entered to win a spooky goodie bag from Missguided.  Every vote counts and if I win I get to do a special blogger edit with Missguided, so I'd be over the moon if you could take a couple of clicks out to vote!
