#LOVELABELTREAT

I was recently lucky enough to attend the #LoveLabelTreat event which was held by very.co.uk and Lee Publicity in trendy Soho, London. Having always been a fan of the brand it was great to get a taster of the new range, and what was even more exciting was that we got to try the pieces on and walk away with an item of our choice at the end of the night. Treat indeed! 

I chose this amazing, hot pink coat. It's beautifully made and feels amazing, it's so snug and warm! I have very little colour in my wardrobe, but with pink being such a key colour this season I felt as though I should give it a try…. what better way than with a statement coat!? 
It was such a fab evening, not only did I get to hang out with two of my favourite fellow bloggers, Amy from Dolls are United and Kristabel of I Want you to Know, but I also had my hair done, indulged in some delicious canapés and treated myself to a few drinks to! I'll be sure to get my new coat photographed for you in the new year…. I'm curious to know what you think of me in such a bright colour! 

I'm heading down to Devon tomorrow morning to spend Christmas with my family, I'm so excited! What have you all got planned for Christmas and New Year's Eve?     


























THE DARK CIRCUS PARTY


A few weekend's ago Harriet and I went to The Dark Circus Party which was being held at the Bloomsbury Ballroom in London. As our plans were last minute we had limited time to prepare outfits - we wanted to dress up but we didn't want to "overdress". In the end we worked our magic with black velvet, feather boas and exciting head-pieces, (I was lucky enough to be able to borrow the feather boas from work!).  

I wore a black and navy playsuit, which my Mum bought for me for Christmas a few years ago, whilst Harriet wore a black, glittery jumpsuit; our outfits were completed with feather boas, headbands and ridiculously high black wedge boots. I added a big bow around my waist for good measure and even wore fake eyelashes, a very rare occurence!


Nothing had prepared us for the night ahead - we arrived late, around half midnight I think, because we'd been to a gig beforehand, and we wondered, (or should I say tottered), into the most magical place of dreams! On entering we descended down a large staircase before pushing through a set of double doors into a bar area. Well, we certainly weren't overdressed…. sequins, stripes, feathers, painted faces and top hats danced before us and we both suddenly felt as though we'd fallen through the pages right into one of "Jay Gatsby's" notorious parties.

Double rum and cokes in hands, (the champaign came later), we moved on into the next room where there was dancing, oh the dancing, circus performers and the most fabulous, electro swing music! The rest of the night is a glittery blur, but we had a wonderful time and have already persuaded our housemates to come with us to the next event, which is happening in July - you can buy tickets here. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who loves dressing up, fantasy and theatrics.
