Lust of the Week

Its that time again, the start of the week and that means time for something new to lust over, this week I'm Lusting over Jones + Jones. This summer I have two holidays, my graduation and my birthday so its safe to say I have a few upcoming occasions that I need a dress for. Well don't worry (I could see you were starting to panic) I stumbled across Jones + Jones and fell in love with pretty much EVERY dress on the site. But these have got to be my top three.

Celeste Dress £75.00

Saffron Dress £65.00

Florence Dress £75.00

I guess that's a few outfits sorted!

High Street Haul

I can't stress how long it has been since I've been shopping, and my god have I missed it. I figured landing a new job and an upcoming holiday with a severe lack of swimwear earn't me a night of shopping. So Thursday night with a less than excited boyfriend I hit the high street.

I thought I'd share what I bought with you, my purchases fell into two categories, holiday haul and work wear, I was on a serious budget but I managed to find some bargains...

Holiday Haul

Ramones Fringed Vest £8 - Primark 

Navy Jersey Dress £7.99 - H&M

Turquoise Abstract Bikini Top £3.99, Briefs £3.99 - H&M

Green Swimsuit £14.99 - H&M

Faded American Flag Vest £3 - Primark

Work Wear

Cream Peplum Top £8 - Primark

Navy and Floral Peplum Blouse £10 - Primark

I was pretty pleased with my haul as I've now got some cute pieces to add to my work wardrobe and a few more bikinis and my holiday wardrobe will be complete to!

Brave Soul Blogger Event

Last week was a bit of a whirlwind! A job offer, the boyfriend moving in and a bloggers event is busy by anyone's standards, but I can't complain about a night of clothes, cocktails and great company!

Last Wednesday I was lucky enough to be invited to a bloggers event held by Punk PR, celebrating a clothing brand they represent Brave Soul.  I made my way to the Circle Club with my glamorous plus one Grace to have a sneak preview of their lastest collection. On arrival I was greeted my the lovely Press and Brave Soul Team they talked me through the fantastic range, fed me amazing food and spoilt me with a free bar!

The clothes did not disappoint (and that's not just the champagne talking) the range was on trend and would easily fit within and compliment any girl or guys wardrobe. In fact there were many items I found that my wardrobe was seriously lacking and needed in my life!

Each piece is personally designed by the Brave Soul Team not outsourced like other online retailers, the range is not only wearable and on trend is also great value for money without sacrificing quality. Unlike other e-tailers were the low price seems to be the main incentive and the quality of the garment suffers.

My Top 3 pieces of the night had to be:

1.The bright coloured skinny jeans which are available in Red, Blue and Green and a mere £18!

 2. The cute shorts with frayed edge details available in White, Coral and Purple, my favourite three colours, I MUST own all three and at £15 why not?!

3. The oversized white and black striped jumper, which is a favourite of Fearne Cotton, the same wardrobe staple as a celebrity for £20! Yes please!

The Event itself I have to say was one of the nicest I've attended in recent months, the setting was the perfect place to hold an intimate gathering of like minded fashion lovers, the staff were knowledgeable of the products and super friendly and I met some lovely bloggers who I hope to stay in touch with in the future, although my bank balance may be taking a hit when I buy everything I saw on the night!

R.I.P Gossip Girl

This Sunday is a sombre day, as I received the news, that my favourite TV show Gossip Girl is to be cancelled at the end of the next season! Fellow GG lovers will feel my pain and understand the void that loosing this show will put in our lives. 

Ok, ok I may be over reacting slightly BUT hear me out which other show brings the best fashion labels in the world and puts together lust worthy outfits in every scene?? And which other show has given us a love as unique and strong as Chuck and Blairs?? I'll tell you NO OTHER SHOW. So I've decided to dedicate Sundays post to my favourite fashion moments of Gossip Girl.

Blair's obsession with Headbands = The world goes crazy for Headbands

They were possibly THE best dressed school kids.

Blair's my favourite, but you can't deny Serena's ability to rock a dress at an event

Blair & Serena shopping montage = cute co-coordinated outfits

Blairs wedding featured THE best Bridesmaid in history, Serena's was to die for

Some of my favourite Serena's best outfits, 

her ability to rock a blazer with nearly every outfit is second to none.

Theres still so many other outfit moments, Blairs impressive number of coats one for every outing, Serena's extensive handbag collection, Lily's ability to scream class in everything she wears, Chucks many many suits. I could go on! Are you a GG fan? Whats your favourite outfit moment?
