OOTD - A Very Spotty Sunday

My outfit today had to be comfortable, yesterday and this morning was spent helping my husband Marc lay our toilet floor, and then the rest of the day has been recovering from the backache, it was a very small space to work in!

so I went for my new favourite Florence and Fred dress I recently purchased, I could live in this dress, it is comfy cool and easy to wear, I often fling it on with my little trainers and shop till I drop as it is so easy to slip on and off in the changing rooms.

Fatshion Faceoff - Shorts

Shorts

My Fatshion Faceoff post is late this week as I have had the craziest day, my little puppy Nell got over excited with our other dog and got caught by a tooth on her cheek, unfortunately it turned into an abscess, so today has been vets and snuggles for my little lady.

Until all the craziness started we had planned a relaxing day or walking dogs and me getting ready for a press event I should have been attending, which I had to cancel.

So this is my shorts outfit, its pretty casual, but I kind of like it, I felt sassy! 


Excuse the not so good quality phone picture, it was really all we had time for today.
The top is from Newlook last year and the shorts are cut off jeans.
My shoes are from Tescos.

I am not sure I am a Shorts convert I may have to try more to see how I feel about them, but for now I think I will still be in skirts and shorts.

Don't forget to go check out the other fabulous ladies involved in the challenges.


And here is a little picture of my poorly baby girl, you can just see her swollen face :(


Send her get well vibes. xxx

Fatshion Faceoff - Floral Skirt

Floral Skirt

So this weeks Fatshion Faceoff was chosen by me and thinking about what I have in my wardrobe but avoid wearing because I find it hard to pair and my my floral skirt came to mind.


I love dresses as they are easy to style without to much effort, but I find separates difficult to wear, but I am always up for a challenge and love seeing what the other fabulous ladies come up with.


So this skirt is quite a few years old but is worn so little that it is still in good condition, and really needs to be worn, it is my favourite colour, and it seems I have a thing for floral stripes.


As the skirt has vertical stripes running down it, I decided to try it with my new Striped top from Tesco's which is also striped, but it is blue and white so though hell i will give it a go.


so this is how it all looked, this beautiful sunshine gave me the chance to pop on my wedges and get some sunshine to my tootsies.



hahaha, I managed to close my eyes in both photos, but my teeth are still so sore, I didn't have the energy to go try again, so sorry. xx


Go check out the other fabulous ladies in the group they always look amazing! 




So do you like florals or do you steer clear?

Tescos F&F AW12 Press Day

Clothing at Tesco has improved amazingly over the years but I have to say the clothing I saw at this event were truly beautiful, and on a whole new level, take a look through my day here and enjoy it as much as I did.

So many photo's and this is not even half of them!

The venue was fabulous we were at One Marlebone opposite Great Portland Street Station.

AW12

The whole range of clothing we had the chance to see were just beautiful to be honest, but I honestly on more than one occasion found myself saying simply WOW.
They have gone with 4 Main trends which I have put together from the PR shots for you to see below.

According to the write up Salute is a new take on the Military trend which is more luxurious and evening-appropriate than previous seasons, with luxe materials.

Belgravia is aiming for the street style of London and the glamour of Paris, with its laid back chic style with a glossy luxurious edge.

I like this description from the press info, Neo Gothic is 2012's update on the glam goth trend, it is seductive, dark and dramatic with an elegant, edwardian twist.
Pictures from PRShots.com
Heritage is an eclectic mix of traditional fabrics with a country house style with equestrian details for the lady of the manor look.

All of the above was taken from the press look books we were given on the day.

I have to say that Neo Gothic and Belgravia are my favourites and I can see my purse taking a bit of a beating this AW12 season, the textures and tones just suit me.

Below are some of my own photos from the day to give you a fuller idea of the fabulousness to come!


Everything had a very luxurious feel to it, the lace top on the right is beautiful in person.


The Coats and Jackets which were on offer were amazing, the quality felt far higher than I have ever seen in previous years, and the prices were fantastic, I think both of the above were around the £40 range, the military on the left is my favourite of the day the tailoring and detail were fantastic, The wax like jacket on the right looked fantastic, far higher end than the price suggests.


Animals seemed to be a bit of a theme with squirrels, rabbits, swans and birds taking centre stage, the squirrel made me giggle with its furry tail!


I loved both of these pairs of boots, I am not so sure the knee boots will fit my Calf but the Chelsea boots were really lovely!


The shoes and boots on offer were beautiful the colours are beautiful the jewel tones above are stunning and the Navy bag needs to be mine ASAP, whilst on route the venue we walked down regents street and passed the Michael Kors Shop and this bag is so similar to the ones sold there that I cant wait to get my hands on it!

And the lace bag above is just yummy, as were the shoes.

Last bit from the AW12 collection it the top and Jacket above which I really need in my life too!


There was a whole section at the venue aimed at Menswear and children's wear which I didn't get much of a chance to look around so I might do a separate post and show you some of the PR pictures of the items to come separately

But here is the room it was in, just so I can show you how fabulous the venue actually was.

If you cant wait till the AW12 collection comes out we also got a peek at the High Summer range which will come out in the next few weeks there were tribal, tropical and pastels on offer as well as some transitional pieces and it was pretty fabulous.

 Ok I will leave it there now, but I just want to finish by saying a huge thank you to wonderful ladies from the PR companies and from tescos who made us feel welcome and treated us so well.
