Cosmopolitan Blog Awards 2014

So as you may have known I attended the Cosmo awards ceremony and party at the beginning of October. I met up with my fave girlies Georgie from Fashion is Black and Lau from The Pixie Cut.

We had the most amazing time networking and meeting amazing brands such as Seekers of the Sun and Remmington. As well as meeting new people from the blogger community like Sarah Ashcroft and Megan Lillie. 

The ceremony was great, it was lovely seeing all the runners up and winners in each category! 

I was shortlisted in the Best New Fashion Blog category alongside my friends Georgie and Lau. We had already made it into the top 9 out of what Cosmo told us was nearly 50,000 entries! I was in complete shock that I was even shortlisted, so I honestly did not expect my name to be called and when it wasn't, I certainly wasn't disappointed! Especially when it was Geirgie who came highly commended and Lau who won! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect turn out, I'm so proud of them, they 100% deserved to win! 

After the ceremony we drank and chatted the night away, some of us drank more than others, hey Georgie? ;) 

But all in all it was an honour to have attended and been amoungst such established and inspiring bloggers. 

Now as the drink was complimentary, the picture taking became a distant memory so I will be blogging my outfit properly so you can see my gorgeous dress and shoes. A massive thank you to Motel for my amazing dress and Missguided for my heels and jacket!

I've wanted to post this for a while now but I got so wrapped up in work and other commitments that I just haven't had the chance. But finally here it is, another predominontly Missguided outfit, am I obsessed?

I got sent this amazing shirt dress and tan sheepskin coat from the lovely Robyn at Missguided. Firstly the coat. WOW. I've wanted a tan sheepskin coat for ages now and this just ticks all the boxes for me! I sized up as I tend to do with coats, however I'd probably suggest sticking with your size, the 10 is a tad big on me. It doesn't look bad and it's definitely wearable, in fact I'm in love with it, I'd just recommend staying pout size wise. I wore it to the My Bandage Dress press event at the weekend and my blogger girls couldn't help but stroke me it's that soft and cosy! Next the shirt dress. How on trend is this? I love a shirt dress and the print on this is just fab! I haven't taken it off since I've had it to be honest. It looks great with bare legs and chelsea boots or tights and some killer heels!

I paired the coat and dress with my fave Deichmann chelsea boots for a relaxed boho/hippy vibe. Also, Deichmann are still running a fab Instagram competition where you can win a trip to Milan for two! All you have to do is post a pic of you in a pair of Deichmanns or any shoes for that matter and #adayinmydeichmanns, good luck!

October Wedding

Hello everyone! So sorry about my lack of posts, I've been so busy. It was my cousin's wedding last weekend, then I had the Cosmo blog awards and this weekend I've been to the My Bandage Dress press event. So I have many upcoming posts this week about all the events, so stay tuned!

This is just a quick post about my Cousin's wedding day. Firstly, a massive congratulations to Alex and Camille Pryce! The day was absolutely incredible, both the ceremony and reception was gorgeous. My other cousin Faye lives in Australia and surprised us all by attending the day which was just fab as I haven't seen her in 4 years. The food, the speeches, the service, the dancing, it was all wonderful. Safe to say it was a day to remember! 

So here's a few pics from the wedding... 

Me;
