Christmas OOTD, PVC

I have wanted a PVC skirt for months but after Rochelle from the Staurdays was photographed in the pink one Topshop suprisingly ran out of my size! However as part of my Christmas present I got a gorgeous Camel coloured one from Topshop similar to Kim Kardashian's.

As much as I love my PVC skirt, (even though my mother hates it), in my opinion there is only one way to wear it. Make sure your top is plain and understated where its a polo neck, t-shirt or sweat shirt.

My favourite thing to wear with mine is my Topshop short funnel neck black top!

What are your thoughts on PVC? Trashy? (mothers words!) Cute? Comment and let me know?

My Evening Dress Choice

Ok so following on from my Evening Dress Stress blog I thought i'd share my photos of my final decision!

In the end I went for something simple, a full length, black, velvet, backless dress! As soon as I saw it in the Rhianna for River Island collection I knew straight away that it was the one I wanted!

I absolutely loved my dress and didn't feel over dressed at all as there was such a wide mix of outfits. Some people were in short dresses and big heels while others were in more casual dresses and shoe boots and then there were a group of people in long dresses.

I had such an amazing night, although I was extremely nervous about not knowing anyone and meeting all of Alexs work colleagues, once I had a few glasses of bubbly in me I felt much better!

You were given play money to play poker, roulette or black jack and you know what they say about beginners luck... I spent about an hour winning every hand on black jack it was great fun! They also had a photo booth with funny props!!

Anyway after all the stress I found my perfect dress!

My OOTD for Clothes Show Live

So to follow on from my Clothes Show Live blog I thought i'd share with you my outift choices for the weekend, cause trust me it was a stressful process deciding....With the chance to meet some of my favourite celebrities it was very important to consider what I was wearing, you know, when you don’t want to look like you have put in loads of effort yet really you have been planning this outfit for weeks!

A few factors changed my outfit just days before as I bought my winter coat for this year; this fluffy blue number from Zara and I haven’t had it off since…

I also got my Christmas present from my Mum and Dad a few weeks early and oh my god it is just beautiful….

| Vivienne Westwood Jasmine Bag |

For the rest of my outfit I took a bit of inspiration from the 90s! Seen as 90s fashion has come back in every aspect it is now acceptable to pair socks and shoes, wear mom jeans and layer t-shirts and shoe string strap and yes.... i did all 3! I went a really 90’s OK but who doesn’t love the 90’s? 

My jacket being such a cute blue it looks great teamed with a pair of jeans and there was no question as to which jeans. My Topshop Mom Jeans have been one of my favourite items in my wardrobe since I got them off my sister for my birthday they go with anything and everything.

My t-shirt and cami combi has become one of my favourite looks for winter not only does it look so cute but its also a great way to layer up your camis for winter so you don't freeze to death or they don’t just get shoved to the back of your wardrobe!

Finally SHOES! My shoes were from River Island but I found this similar pair on Kurt Geiger! I wore my ankle boots with white frill socks.

Finally to finish off my look for the day I used my brand new matte lipstick from MAC that i adore!

Hope you liked my outfit post, would love seem feedback and comments on what you think about the 90's!

Clothes Show Live

I would recommend Clothes Show Live to any fashion or beauty bloggers or just to anyone in general now I think about it! This was my second time at the event and I would 100% go back again, it is worth the travelling, tiredness, outfit stress, queues and everything else.

Clothes Show Live in collaboration with Britain and Ireland Next Top Model is a room full of all your favourite beauty and fashion brand giving away treats and freebies along with selling all your favourite items, Whats not to love? Not only this the room is full of celebs such as Henry Holland, Peter Andre, Jamie Laing and MUCH more, sounds tempting yes? ;)

There is no photo of me and Jamie as I never got to meet him, felt like crying as he is by far my favourite...

Anyway... along with this you get to attend an amazing fashion show full of great design, outstanding dance performances and usually a performance from a chart band such as Stooshe or Union J.
my favourite part of this had to be the topless models, I know I’m a fashion student but it’s nice to have that to look at too!

I went down with my flat mate as I treated her to the day ticket for her 21^st birthday! With all this going on there is so much to talk about but if you ask Emma how the weekend was you’ll probably get something along the lines of “Peter Andre touched my face” as she grins away at you.....she is slightly obsessed.

Oh and to top of this off we went to see Take Me Out Live at the end of the day, Yes Paddy McGuiness, No likey, No lightly, but 10 times funnier and better with a cow crude jokes chucked in there that would never be allowed on TV. It was the perfect way to end an amazing day!

It was an amazing day, the only thing I would say is that next time I would consider getting a ticket for two days rather than just one as you will never manage to do everything you want in one day! Trust me!!

Check back tomorrow for my blog on my outfits for the weekend!
