Event: Fashion's Finest show

Sat 20th Feb was London Fashion Week Fashions Finest 16 event at London Grand Connaught Rooms.

We arrive at the venue and head up to the popup show to check out some of the showcased designers. 

The first stand that caught my eye was 'Made of Carpet' who had a fantastic collection of handbags made from carpet.

While I was looking at around, I noticed there was something sparkling on the other side of the room. 

I decided to go have a look and was amazed to find a Czech Crystals mask by  Marianna Harutunian , just like the one from Madonna's 'Living for love' music video.

It's absolutely stunning!

We decided this was the perfect opportunity to try on some of the spectacular pieces on show...

We even treated ourselves to some gorgeous new rings.

Next was the catwalk show By Moixa Clothing...

We walked in the room and it felt very 'London Fashion Week', stiff faces and serious pouts in the front row included lool 

We decided to take the second row and waited for the show to begin.

Designer Denise Mahmud showcased her new AW16/17 collection which I though was nice. 

Not my personal style but there were some beautiful pieces and the models were stunning.

All in all a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon and the tickets were free #RESULT!

Fashion: Denim & Snake print Lookbook

On a recent hunt for a midi skirt that doesn't make me look like Mrs Pepperpot..I came across this classic black midi and thought I'd create a casual day or evening lookbook.

I decided to combine denim & snake print for the simple fact that I had never worn them together and wanted to give it a go.

I started with the midi skirt, I wanted to make it funky and casual so I added a denim tie shirt and pointed snake print heels by ASOS (link below)

I then added some accessories-a hammered silver necklace, a set of hammered silver bangles with a turquoise gem,  and a blue snake print bowler style tote bag.

To complete the look, I'd style the hair in a two braid pin up (like the beautiful Kerry Washington) and add some 'Flat Out Fabulous' Lipstick by Mac.

Event: Fresh & Fit Fest

When you see a trampoline event suggested by a friend you just go and get prepared for jumping and giggles.

Well I was wrong...read the invites people, check the small print lool

We arrive at 'The Hoxton' London and we have a few minuets to kill before our "trampoline" event, I am kind of excited to relive my younger days and jump around aimlessly while having a giggle. 

We check out a few of the vendors at the event and come across a "Sample sale" I must say workout clothing is expensive, I will stick to my sports bra, oversized T-shirt and breathable leggings thanks!

After leaving the "sample sale" and getting evils from sellers for barking about extortionate prices lool so sorry...we head to the main event.

As we approach the door a lady warns us that people are throwing their arms around...I am confused, why would they be doing that?

We walk in the room, there are individual trampolines, glow sticks and towels and I am still confused!

There is a well sculpted man at the front of the room barking orders and in dawns on me this is some crazy exercise class....NOOOOOO!

I decide to give it a go but end up doing my own thing and burning energy at a ridiculous rate. It was a trampoline, disco aerobics class. I had fun but that may be because I was just jumping around like a buffoon ignoring the instructions, fascinated by my new glow sticks.

Sweating over, I curse out my friend then go hunting for freebies, water and food lool

Seriously I knew I was going to some kind of fitness event as my girl @Katya_db is a fitness freak so I really should've known better.

In a separate room  there are stall set up selling all things healthy and I must admit my first thought was give me a freebie or a burger I don't care which but then I found this guy!

Selling some of the most delicious chocolate I have ever tasted.

 

Then we tried some gorgeous Matcha Tea with coconut milk...What is that I hear you cry...Well!

Matcha is an Oriental green tea which is said to have the following benefits. I am now converted thanks to a lovely gentleman at 'Good & Proper tea' who gave me a freebie! Happy days :-)

All in all a good event, well organised and lots of great products, including a goodie bag filled with samples from some of the vendors!

RESULT lool
