Topshop X Artisan Event

Food and fashion is always a perfect combination so when the chance came along to get involved in a Topshop summer styling event I of course went along with fellow blogger/designer Rianna Phillips. It was held at Artisan in Spinningfields Manchester which I love anyway, it has such an industrial feel, rustic and retro and the food is always so good! There was a Spring/Summer trend talk featuring key pieces from the Topshop collection, it was great to see some of the new in pieces. Personal shoppers Jo and Sarah were on hand to give advice on how they would style the collection together which was great to get different views/options on what works well together...and of course the cocktails were flowing as always.

For the outfit I went for double denim teaming high-waisted jeans with a trucker style denim jacket with a sherling collar. Layering with a stripe rib body from Topshop, I love the high collar detail adding a little 70's retro feel to the look. Finishing the outfit with a chunky gold necklace and my fave Quay Australia sunglasses. The sandals are Missguided but from last summer but there's still loads of similar styles around, they matched perfectly with my bargain Primark rucksack...such a beaut!

Fountain Of Beauty...21 Years Event

Fountain of Beauty is a salon local to where I live in Cheadle Hulme. I've been going there for as long as I can remember and have loved trying out different looks throughout the years where they are always happy to advise and experiment with my ideas...especially with my nails which I love! If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter I'm sure you would have seen a few of my new claws popping up!

Fountain of Beauty recently turned 21 and I was invited to join in with the celebrations at Piccolino's in Bramhall taking along one of my besties Diana. Surprisingly for Manchester the sun was shining, perfect weather for an afternoon of cocktails, fizz and canapes on the lovely terrace. This was not only a celebration but also a fun raising event for The Christie Charity with raffles etc going on throughout the afternoon with prizes donated from all around the area too. I had my eye on an amazing hamper...which sadly didn't make it's way over to me...boo! On the plus side, we did all go home with a gift voucher towards a beauty treatment! :)

On to the outfit....I picked up this jersey dress recently from Primark and love the side split detail, so easy to style up with a bomber or denim jacket. I decided on a silk-look bomber from Missguided, really lightweight so perfect for a warmer day! I've worn these lace ups so much over the past few months, definitely one of my best SS15 purchases and the perfect high-street homage to the original Aquazurra's Belgravia beauts! Finishing the outfit with a studded drawstring bag and gold jewellery. I'm also obsessed with Quay Australia sunglasses, a brand that's growing fast and hard to avoid at the moment...this 'Invader' style is my fave!! I would happily own the entire collection!

Holiday Styling SS15

As my holiday is only a few days away now and the packing is well under way,  I thought I would share with you all a few of the things I will be taking along with me. I always try to pack a range of clothes and accessories that can be mix and matched together so different pieces can be reworked, depending on what's planned each day. It also stops me packing my entire wardrobe!! 

I've styled up outfits using the majority of pieces pictured above, featuring light pastel summer shades and pops of gold, adding a tropical vibe with the mix of floral prints. I'm also a big fan of ginghams so pleased to see they are everywhere again this spring/summer. Great to style up with a denim shirt worn open when the evenings are a little cooler.

For the shoes I mainly go for flats when I'm away for comfort, a mix of mule sandals, jellies and sliders...heels and sand are never a good mix! (with the exception of cleated soles which are always my fave)

I'll take a few snaps of my favourite holiday looks when I'm away which I will post when I'm back home in a few weeks...in the mean time I've linked most of the items below and I'm sure I will share a few sneak peaks on my Instagram page!
