So – last weekend I was at New Look Wireless Festival (in case you missed my endless festival spam on Instagram and Twitter) and it was BRILLIANT. 

I love a good festival but when the British weather is on your side, it feels like everything’s right with the world.  To add to my summer festival happiness, I was there scouting celeb fashion and goss for Yahoo! As you know, I’ve been working with Yahoo!Lifestyle for a while now, covering Fashion Week and the like but this weekend was all about Yahoo!Celebrity which meant access backstage, outside the dressing rooms oh – and in the VIP area! I cannot believe my luck, what a great gig! 



You can see all the official pics and news on Yahoo! but here’s a quick rundown on exactly what happened! Forget the beautifully instagrammed pictures and high fashion shots - this is the REAL way to do Wireless Festival..

What Bloggers REALLY Do At Wireless Festival 2015

New Year's Eve Outfit : Cheap & Chic Floral Co-Ords


Hi team! A quick 'What I Wore To Work' from me today - mainly because I bought this dress and these shoes  and I couldn't wait to show you!! 

How hard is it dressing for this weather?! Not quite warm enough for no-jacket but too warm for your coat.

A duster coat is the perfect answer to that and today's dress is a lovely silky find, in a wintery print. Proof that you CAN wear print to work and still look quite corporate.



Duster Coat & Cube Print Dress by F&F


The standout piece of today's outfit is this amazing printed dress from F&F. I wore the white version to London Fashion Week and immediately knew I had to get the other colour too!

My LFW White Version!


 It feels so much more expensive than it actually is - it feels like a dress from Cos, a lovely silky but sturdy material. Totally worth the £15 I paid for it during the recent F&F 25% off weekend! I love a good bargain!

I love the coloured print - it's smart, it's modern and you can also wear this dress with black tights when it gets colder. The perfect Autumn to Winter transition!


Before we get to the pictures, I just want to make zero apologies for the obvious attempt to photoshop out my life (aka my cluttered bedroom floor). I've spared you the horror..







I've teamed the dress with this textured black duster coat which I swear - goes with EVERYTHING. AND - if I'm not excited enough - it has HUGE POCKETS which fit everything I need in it! (phone, cards, oyster, keys, lipgloss)

Seriously, whenever I can't be bothered to carry a bag, I'll just wear this duster coat. P-L-A-N.


Anyway, less exciting but equally lovely are my new tassle leather shoes from &Other Stories. I bought them on a 50% off at Vogue Fashion's Night Out. They're not my usual cup of tea (possibly a bit too out-there for me) but I just thought they were really really nice and great quality. Oh god, I sound like my mum - GOOD QUALITY LEATHER, GOOD BARGAIN - it's like buying ugly shoes in Clarks again back in the 90s. (without the awesome foot measuring machine!)



So there we go - a quick look at today's outfit. What do you think?

And how awesome was the foot measuring machine at Clarks?!?!

What I Wore To Work Wednesday: Autumn Blues

In case you didn't already know, I am a HUGE panicker. Tube delayed? Low phone battery? Missing key? TIME TO PANIC. So when I found out that I'd won the Yahoo Lifestyle Bloggers Competition to go to London Fashion Week, the second thought after "OMG I WON!" was "OMG, what do I WEAR?"

Thankfully, I had some help from my wonderful workmates and F&F Clothing kindly agreed to sort me out a Fashion Week Wardrobe! BOOM.

What I Wore: Choosing My LFW Outfit

Happy Wednesday team! Today see's the first fashion post shot from my new flat! No longer do you have to look at my wardrobe door in the background, you now get to see... my bedroom door! What can I say, some things never change - until I can teach Mr FV how to use the half press focus on the shutter. 

Today, as a suit alternative, I bring you smart separates. Yes yes, at the end of the day, smart separates is really a suit so WHERE'S THE TWIST?

I've gone for a relaxed spin and a splash of colour, but enough to stay within the formality of the business casual dress code (aka the world's most vague dress code). 

Check it out and let me know what you think!


A little snapshot of what's to come, I've paired my favourite burgundy crop blazer (as featured in my Not So Masculine Tailoring post) with classic skinny cigarette pants from Zara.

Chuck in the bag of my DREAMS plus some wear-everywhere heels and you've got today's outfit. Here are the full pictures.

What I Wore To Work: Relaxed Smart Separates

So normally Wednesday is my What I Wore To Work special but today is going to be a bit more of a What I Bought From Work! 

Long story short, due to poor advance planning and some ridiculously long wait-times from Sky there is no TV in the new flat. As I sat here consoling myself with a bit of online shopping, I thought, why not kill two birds with one stone and do a little blog post too?

Today's bank balance body-slam is courtesy of my employers, F&F. It's a weird cycle where they pay me and I immediately empty most of my money back into shpoping the site. I know you know what I mean! Very circle of life, like in the Lion King. (we become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass - classic Mufasa speech)

Anyway, enough of my trip back to the 90's -  I've rustled up a little summer style collage to showcase my pics and inspire your retail rush today..




Feast your eyes on this! A bountiful collection of prints, florals and textures - can you believe that you can buy these from ONLY £6?

Let's take a closer look, shall we?
