Tonight Alexxsia and I went to the launch of the high streets A/W collections at Arcadia. We had such a wonderful time! It wasn’t at all how I had imagined it, the room was set up with rails filled with the new collections of Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Evans, there was a photobooth set up in the middle of the room (that took me a while to realise that you could walk through it into a studio next door!) Rails even more packed full of the new collections were alongside accessories and props to be used for the photoshoots taking place at a constant rate. There was a tiny changing room at the back where all the bloggers got to know each other a little better…
There was wine and fruit cocktails flowing freely and the cutest canapes an hors d’œuvres were being served all around!
My favourite pieces from the collections were; the purple velvet dress from Dorothy Perkins, the black coat from Topshop alongside the leather cut out skirt from Topshop Unique.
It was such a fun filled girly evening, plenty of laughter and mucking about. It was such a shame the rain stopped us from going up onto the roof! I was so looking forward to it, cocktails in the roof garden overlooking London, of course we missed out!
I was told this evening was the first of it’s kind, and this was the first ever blogger meet up I had ever been to so I didn’t know what to expect, I have to say it was a huge success though and I hope we are invited on a regular basis to view the new collections and to be frank, have a right old girly time!
Ok so here is the rest of that Antwerp post but focusing on my bought items
.
A.F Vandevorst silk crepe ruffle top, Also bought at Labels Inc. at Aalmoezenierstraat.
I think it’s always important to have a good over sized stripey top, and I am so in love with this one! Its perfect!
Crazy little beach dress, my boobs are far too small for this! I’m thinking Madonna esque summer wear haha!
Blue suede teddy boy shoes!
Oversized brown blazer that I don’t think I have taken off since buying, It had an insane amount of pockets! 4 big on the inside and 3 on the outside! Perfect for travelling and hoarding around crap, which I love to do.
Black skirt that reminds me of Comme des Garcons
Gorgeous lacey slip that looks super cute under my black crepe Isabel Marant dress, all the ruffly bits poking out.
My favourite Ann Demeulemee jacket! The detailing on it is amazing!
You can totally tell that I have been living out of a suitcase for the last week, this jacket is usually pristine but unfortunately I have no where to hang my clothes here, so it all lives folded away 😦
Also some recent purchases from Topshop. Really loving their new line.
Isn’t this top cute! Because it’s so heavy in beads it hangs perfectly
American Apparel Lady Gaga inspired swimsuit. Rock and Roll!
I also bought some more eel leggings, high waisted this time, as my other had gone missing. Of course they turned out to be at my friends house, apparently I had given my own leggings to her when wasted thinking they were hers…crazy.
London is fantastic, I am loving it! I have seen Graham Norton walk his dogs past my balcony twice now, so surreal! I keep wanting to shout “Hi Graham!” but I refuse to turn into one of those types of people…
I had my interview for Louise Goldin yesterday and it went well. I have a trial day starting on Tuesday. Fingers Crossed!
