Final Press Release + Workworkwork!

Some people hate that they HAVE to work. I love my job - I work in a boutique, we have events like Champagne Evenings with mini makeovers, and my boss is willing to take me to London events like PURE + gave me a voucher for a free nail treatment (see photo :)). All the girls are also so lovely, I work on my own on Sundays - and I've only been there about a month!
Here's some cute snaps that I took last Sunday - we've just launched Rings Eclectic and I sold the first one. They're so gorgeous ;)

Bespoke Headbands - I have that jewelled one :)

Cute Cupcake Bath Bombs

Bumble Bee Eclectic Ring!

The Boutique
Also, final press release as promised. I know a lot of you aren't a big fan of Uggs - association with those slightly cloned-look A&F etc girls. But the whole point of fashion is to create your own individual look, and personally I think they're pretty toastie for the winter weather - so team with leggings and a cute shift dress instead. And you can't complain if they're FOR FREEEE...

Press Release 2: LIPSTICK ROYALTY MAGAZINE

You all know from previous posts how I like to help out those good causes. Well here's another and it comes in the form of a great issue of Lipstick Royalty Magazine.
Lipstick Royalty's October Issue is a very special one, with all proceeds going to The Laura Crane Trust, a trust based in Huddersfield for the care of young people with cancer, which is very close to the editors' hearts!

You can download the edition HERE for just £1.50, which I think is incredibly good value whilst helping charity.

The issue features information on how to enter LR's exclusive sweepstake featuring Fashionvictime.fr and C.TA Glam Couture!
There's also pieces on Sugar Mafia Jewellery, Darimeya and the band Nylon Pink.

There's really no excuse not too :)
Thanks to Amy Claire Thompson, the fashion editor, for contacting me about this.

I have one final press release and then I'll be posting events, my week of work experience and more - so keep updated by following me on bloglovin' or google reader.

Lotsoflove,

M.I.A No Longer, Press Releases! (long post!)

Sorry all for my absence, haven't been feeling my best lately and it eventually caught up with me so have been ill, in bed, joy...! I do have a few bits and pieces that I hope will cheer you all up on my return though - a few exciting events and releases coming up that I've been personally sent, or organised myself.

First off: As a new addition to the NJAL writer's team I was sent this lovely press release. I'm so gutted I can't go (due to being home, ill etc), especially as I was invited to the invite-only drinks party. Please do go along though, by some amazing pieces, and take lots of photos so I can fuel my jealousy even more.

THE NJAL POP-UP STORE
AFTER FOUR SUCCESSFUL MONTHS OF THE ONLINE SHOP, NJAL IS BRINGING UNIQUE AVANT-GARDE DESIGN DIRECTLY TO THE PUBLIC WITH THE LAUNCH OF OUR FIRST-EVER POP-UP STORE ON OCTOBER 23-24
NJAL, the leading global business directory for showcasing avant-garde fashion designers, is unleashing its online array of unique designs in the form of a Pop-Up Store, bringing the collection and consumer even closer together. During an exclusive, two-day only event in Notting Hill, professionals and creators will have the chance to meet and mingle in a fresh and inspiring surrounding.


THE ONLINE SHOP has been providing access to rare fashion pieces from a wide selection of fashion brands for four months now. Each month is hosted by a fashion personality; Robin Schulié, Diane Pernet and Amanda Lepore all happily lent their names to THE SHOP. Most recently the latest sell out collection was chosen by supermodel Lara Stone, W Magazine’s current "most wanted face of the moment", winning the attention and acclaim of global fashion media.

THE LOCATION has become a favourite amongst the London fashion set, being renowned for its glamour. Beach Blanket Babylon occupies a prominent position in an old Georgian Mansion in the heart of Notting Hill. Famous for its unique interior design blending Boho Chic, French Country Style and Rococo; it is known the world over as a by-word for lavish luxury.

LARA STONE’s uniquely selected collection will be available in the store, alongside a wide range of our most inspiring young designers’ work. The pop-up store will benefit NJAL’s most promising designers with crucial exposure in new markets. Furthermore, the event will help raise awareness of young and upcoming fashion, but also promote the idea of sustainable fashion.

THE POP-UP STORE will take place on Friday 23rd October 12 lunch – 11pm and Saturday 24th October 10am – 3pm. As a further exclusive offer guests can receive 25% off lunch or dinner on Friday 23rd, and brunch on Saturday 24th by bringing their invite along. Come down to experience the frontlines of fashion and to shop otherwise off limit design in an inspiring environment.

She's a regular.


Hey All!
As you may remember from a post further back - I was desperate to do some interning at Amelia's Magazine but couldn't fit in the 3 months they needed. So now the lovely fashion editor has accepted my application to become a regular contributor - yes!
I just saw my second article is up, which I didn't even realise. A pretty different style to my usual writing so quite hard to compose - think I'll be happier when I go back to my style reviews. Coming soon: Designer Interview - watch this space!
Here's the link to the latest article:

What do you guys think? Who do you write for?
Ps. - I am so in love with the Chanel show. Ruffles!

That Header Girl...

...For those of you who haven't seen it - check out the new Talula campaign.
First spotted it on http://www.fashion-train.blogspot.com/ <-- a new favourite.

My new header features one of their campaign photos!
& I'm deseperate for the rose leggings, lace dress and slouchy cropped jumper.
Unfortunately it's only stocked in AMERICA & has no online store, boo.
Don't you just hate when that happens?

Although I'm hoping I finally have a contact who can send me the items from San Francisco - Yes!
So as not to be a total copier, I've only posted the outfits I'm lusting after below: you just have to see them!

Rose Leggings

Lace Dress

Slouchy Cropped Jumper

What's on your current fashion wishlist?
