She's a Little sweetheart

Not your average post on a fashion blog, but she was too sweet to ignore!

In between planning fashion shoots, I did a mini shoot with my best friends daughter.
I am trying to expand my work so that i'm more flexible when it comes to finding work. As much as I love fashion, I need to do something else once in a while!

So here she is, she is so pretty and was such a joy to photograph. It will be so nice to document her growing up and to finally create a gift book for when she is older!

Business cards will be done in the next few weeks and i'm so excited to see the ones with her lovely face on them!

She should also be on the ads for hunter wellies!

It feels a little like Autumn 💭

So tonight I felt like it was time to sort through my wardrobe, which is a task I dread. The transition from season to season leaves you with the list of things you actually need! After spending most of my last few years as an eBay addict, I tend to leave spring/summer with less clothing than I had the previous year, as we don't need the chunky knits during the summer time! 

This year, I decided, no more eBay! I now have more clothes in my wardrobes than ever before, although I did have so much enjoyment out of trying on all my outfits and getting myself all prepared for winter! I simply can not wait until I can layer up. 

I have been left with a list of NEEDED items so I will be posting outfits through the blog every now and again for the next few weeks. I will also start posting wish lists of the items I am currently lusting after so stay tuned. Lots more to come!

Here I leave you with some snapshots of pieces I look forward to taking through to Autumn.

We had an amazing few days away in Pembrokeshire. 4 days in a peaceful haven, just me and my guy, celebrating our 6 year anniversary. We stayed in the Bluestone resort right next to Oakwood, and about 15 minutes from Tenby Town. The resort was absolutely beautiful. We stayed right in the middle of the 'village' section of the resort and surrounding us were beautiful log cabins. It was such a beautiful place to walk around but it was so expensive! We spent an absolute fortune!

I have added some pictures of my outfit from the first day of our trip however these are the first #ootd that I have done so please don't judge too harshly!!

All in all we had an amazing time and I will be posting some photographs from our Tenby visit. Thankfully we had some lovely weather, we were so lucky!

Y.A.S Apparel

When I walked into the Y.A.S stand at PURE London at the beginning of August this year, I was drawn to the amazing blue garments that they had on the stands. I am always completely drawn to blue in whatever shop i'm in, and, 90% of the time I will end up buying it over any other colour.

The brand had a presence at PURE. They interacted with clients, gave away bags and the reps were so friendly. It really drew me in and made me want to find out what this brand had to offer.
As soon as I started to look through the rails I knew this was a brand that would stick in my mind.
Even though it was the S/S 15 collection they were previewing at the show, it was the tailored trench coat that caught my eye over anything else and I know that as soon as this comes into store next year I will be trying my hardest to have it as part of my wardrobe!

Their Look-book's for Autumn/Winter 2014 were very inspirational and spoke to my own personal style. They styling of the garments on each page just inspired me and made me want to go out and get my Winter wardrobe completely sorted out... even though we are still in the middle of Summer!

In their Look-book they interview bloggers, which I found very quirky and different. I hadn't seen this done by any other brand before and I enjoyed reading what they had to say about the collections. In collection 6, They interviewed Camille who owns camilleovertherainbow.com, who also is the model in the following images.

The other aspect that I loved from their collection was that they have recently launched a sports line. Each piece is inspired by their collections in the same way and are really unique to other sports items on the high street. They really give you a sense of luxury and definitely made me want to give it a try.
Unfortunately I do not have any images of this however it has launched online at YAS.

There was also a separate Look-book for collection 5 and again they had a blogger to model/interview.  Aurelia owns fashionisaplayground.blogspot.com and the garments that she modelled completely summed up my winter style.

My favourite pieces from this collection would have to be the leather and knitwear pieces. The leather trousers that Aurelia wears in the images are exactly what I have been looking for. The knitted cardigan in the last images is also one of my favourite pieces.

I'm looking forward to seeing these when they launch online at YAS.
