Getting The Street Style Scoop With New Look | LFW

Getting The Street Style Scoop With New Look | LFW

Hey lovelies! London Fashion Week Sept'14 came to a close on Tuesday and what an INCREDIBLE season it was! From the street style, to the shows, to events - I had the time of my life.  I feel so lucky to have been a part of LFW this September and to be able to share it with you. This season I had the awesome opportunity to partner with New Look for filming on Day 1, bringing you the best of LFW Sept'14 street style and a very special interview . . . 

Maliko from Silk & Suits in fantastic AW checks!

The New Look team and I had a strong idea of the trends we were looking to discover over LFW - my favourites of which were checks and chic blanket wraps. We found ALL our favourite trends and I was so excited to pick the brains of some of LFW's most stylish attendees. Keep tuned into New Look's You Tube channel for our special street style reports!

I also had the pleasure of interviewing lovely Made In Chelsea Star Rosie Fortescue. Rosie and I have known each other for a while and it was so much fun to hang out in the day and chat all things personal style. You can watch my interview with Rosie here - this lady gives seriously good getting ready tips!

Rosie and I wore New Look top to toe for the day, and we both mutually had moments of "oh my gosh -  I need to get that!" - in particular I fell for Rosie's heeled mules - they look so expensive BUT they're £39.99 peeps!

Heels, Skirt, T-Shirt, Earrings 

Notes on My Outfit: Whenever I'm filming, I like to think of something fun to wear on my top half as this is what will be mostly visible. I opted for a bold brush stroke printed tee, and some gorgeous statement earrings. A full skirt and ladylike heels completed the look and are an easy combination to pair with any number of alternative tops.

Thank you so much to New Look for such a fun time filming over LFW! Make sure you guys check out the New Look YouTube channel!

Have an awesome day all!

Love,

And so kicks off the season of L-O-V-E!
Following on from Valentines, this year is the first that close friends of Oli and I are getting married. I am trying to contain my excitement but it is hard, especially when - reason number one - one half of a couple is the gorgeous founder of Edenvale bakery - just think of the Wedding cake - and reason number two - there is an awesome excuse to stock up on gorgeous pretty dresses. Both of the dresses in today's post (1 & 2) I nabbed in New Look the other day for £22 each.
£22. Each. 

Big occasions need not cost a fortune in outfits. Save yourself any last minute panics and get an early start now. There are a tonne of pretty wedding and party appropriate options available in the early Summer store drops. Below I've highlighted some of my favourites - all hitting on or below £50. Scroll through 'em all peeps! There are accessory options too.

Read on after the jump for more pics and my styling notes on Summer party season accessories…

A Note On Accessories: If you plan on buying a few dresses to rotate during the party season, investing in neutral accessories will save you hassle and £££. Since fangirling Ashley Madekwe's single sole heel collection I jumped on this pair of Topshop sale beauts when I found them in store the other day. They're not available online anymore but ASOS and Topshop have some rocking options which are super similar and affordable. This is one of my top tips for Summer dresses: invest in a slip. I wore one with both of the dresses in today's post and they make all the difference. Your dress will hang better (and thus look more expensive) and a slip will save you from pale colours which can be see through in the light.

So you lovely lot, are you excited for Summer dress season? Are any of your close friends getting married, or maybe you are on the hunt for your perfect graduation dress? Spill all. 

I am starting work on a new TV show today so will be back to blogging next week.

*Update - we're filming a couple of extra days so I'll be back to blogging later this week.

Have a super day and weekend all!
