Company Style Blogger Awards 2014

On Wednesday I had the privilege of attending the Company #StyleBlogger Awards at the Oval Space in East London! 

It was an amazing evening spent in the company of all those incredible bloggers I've been following for years, #fangirling all over the place! 

MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone who voted for my blog - I was shortlisted for an award and although I didn't win even being nominated was such an achievement for my teeny little blog and I honestly couldn't have got this far without the support from my readers & viewers. It honestly still baffles me that people are actually interested in what I have to say so thank you so so much for your support - means the world to me! *sob*

As unorganised as I am I totally forgot to charge my slr and hardly took any pictures, but did manage to bring along my point & shoot to capture some "vlog" footage - cue much shaky camera work and blurry film - so if you're interested to see what we got up to, do check out the below vid! 

Over the next month or so I'm having a complete life overhaul and so many things are changing. I will be doing a video on it asap so please keep an eye out on my YouTube Channel for that but for a heads up I will be absent from my blog for a month or so until everything settles down again..but I'll still be on my Instagram(abritishbunny) so check that out if you fancy keeping up with me!

Peppermint Penny

Jumper - Topshop

Pleather Skirt - H&M

Plimsolls - New Look

Nail Varnish - Topshop "Venus Fly Trap"

So I realise that I've been a completely useless blogger recently...a thousand apologies...things have been absolutely crazy busy in my work, personal and home life over the last couple of weeks AND then I went to Valencia for a week so I haven't had time to breathe let alone blog, but now I'm back!

This is the outfit I wore for an all day birthday bbq last weekend and I love it! The cropped jumper is the first piece of clothing I've bought from Topshop in foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and, although I have no idea what possessed me to pair it with the least summery item in my wardrobe, I quite like the look of the soft minty knit with the structured pleather.

As it was a bbq heels definitely weren't an option so I threw on my New Look plimsolls. These have been glued to my feet since I picked them up for a bargain £9.99 last week and they're super comfy, perfect for dancing on the tables...but that's a whole other story!

I've got a couple of mega life changes coming up over the next month or so and may be pretty sporadic with my blogging but if you're at all interested to know what I'm up to, please check out my YouTube channel for update videos!

Hope you're all having a lovely week, fingers crossed for continued sunshine!

The Archtops

 

 

Dress - H&M

Boots - New Look (sale)

Socks - Primark 

Nails - Rita Ora for Rimmel "Oragasam"

Last weekend Dan and I took a little trip to Southend to watch our friends band "The Archtops" play. The weather was glorious and balmy when we left so tights and a coat weren't even considered...but at the seaside it was frigging ARCTIC and super windy so in hindsight it might have been a wise idea to wrap up!

If I'm honest, H&M may have been partly to blame for my lack of common sense and warm clothing. I picked up this little jem of a dress for £14.99 the other day and with it's chunky stripe print, shift shape and high neck it was too beaut to hide...

The gig was amaaaaaazing and we had the best night ever. There are no words for how musically talented those boys are, they had everyone up dancing and singing along in no time! They're playing a couple of wicked dates over the Summer so if you're at all interested, do check them out HERE.

Growing Up Easy

Dress - Missguided (last year) 

Boots - New Look (sale) 

Hair - Babyliss Hair Extensions in "Light Blonde"

It's getting to that point in my life when I'm starting to realise that my friends are growing up. Over the last 12 months things have started to change. Nights out have been replaced with mid week bookclub, vodka and skittles swapped for wine and cheese, weddings are being planned, houses bought and the some are even having children!

Last Sunday was the day of my friend Rachel's baby shower. A day to officially confirm that she will soon become a mother and is therefore more grown up than the rest of us put together! It's absolutely terrifying and totally amazing in equal measure.

In my mind baby showers are a bit of a nondescript when it comes to dress code and quite tricky to dress for, but in the end I opted for this old Missguided skater dress. It was on my lust list for Summer 2013 but by the time I finally got my hands on it, the weather had turned and the poor thing's been sitting in my cupboard waiting for it's moment ever since!

My ratty old hair extensions made a reappearance *mental note - must buy a new set soon* and I topped the the whole look off with my New Look stomper boots to stop it becoming EVEN MORE frothy and girlie.

The whole day was lovely. We ate baby food, chose baby names, unwrapped presents and serenaded the momma to be with tunes from Frozen before heading home clutching our party bags!


I can't wait to meet the little one (not long now!) and with aunties like these it's going to be the best dressed bub around!

Hey Sunday Girl

This is the outfit I wore for pub crawling round Islington on the bank holiday weekend. The weather was amazing so we didn't take coats and by the time it started to cool down we had our beer jackets on anyway!

T Shirt - Primark (sale)

Cardigan - Primark

Jeans - Primark (DIY rips)

Boots - Primark (old)

I don't know whether I love or hate that this outfit is head to to Primark...#firstworldproblems

If I ever had a staple outfit this is pretty much it. If you've watched my FASHION TAG video I mentioned that stripey t shirts and ankle boots are my weakness; I have far too many of both but I practically live in them so I guess that makes it ok?

Last month I discovered Primark "Ultra Soft Super Skinny" jeans and have had them encasing my legs ever since. I took a pair of scissors to these bad boys and completely ripped the knees out of them in a fit of DIY! They cost £11 but the fit and feel of them is amazing. They really are "super skinny" without any hint of camel toe which is a rarity nowadays!

This weekend I'm popping down to Bristol to celebrate my little sister's 22nd birthday and make the most of the rumoured heatwave...fingers crossed! Hope you all have an amazing weekend!

MY HAIR ROUTINE - WASH/DRY/STYLE

Watch it HERE

A video on how I do my hair has been highly requested and I finalllllllllly got round to making it the other day!

I'd never really thought about it before but watching it back made me realise how complicated and time consuming it is! I've been using all these products for a while now and they really do work for me but won't be everyone's cup of tea. The only product I'm not a fan of is the VO5 texturising spray...the Charles Worthington one is definitely better...but it was the only one I had to hand!

If you have any questions do let me know!

1,500 Pennies

Fedora - Topman sale similar HERE

Cardigan - Charity Shop

T shirt - COS

Leggings - H&M (old)

Converse - Office

This cardigan might be my best EVER charity shop find! 

I spied it whilst browsing through the Bristol charity shops with my sister over the Easter weekend and was instantly smitten! From the colours to the oversized shape and the fluffy texture of the knit, it's perfect and only cost me a measly £15!!

I like to think I don't own many "marmite" love/hate items...but turns out this definitely is one. Although I couldn't think of anything more beautiful it has actually made some people gag!

Are you a lover or a hater?

What's New Pussycat?

ASOS Sunglasses - HERE

I find it impossible to find sunglasses that suit my face shape and when these little beauties caught my eye on the ASOS website I thought it was worth a try (free return delivery and all that!) I prefer tortoise shell over black glasses for Summer and the cat eye detail makes them feel a little vintage - for £12 you can't ask more than that!

They arrived a week or so ago and haven't left my face since. Even though they're now a little wonky from being sat on...I couldn't care less...this is true love!

PRIMARK HAUL April 2014

If you're not subscribed to my YouTube channel  you may have missed the hefty Primark haul I did a couple of weeks ago. I picked up some absolutely amazing pieces to bulk up my Spring wardrobe and  if you haven't been to your local store in a while I definitely would recommend it!

Fancy Doing Me A Favour?

HAPPY EASTER!

I hope you're all having an amazing weekend. Typically today the weather is awful but that makes it all the more acceptable to sit inside stuffing ourselves with hot cross buns and mountains of chocolate!

Catching The Sparks That Flew From Her Heels

Cropped top - Primark 

Midi Skirt - Primark 

Shoes - FCUK Juines via Ebay

Clutch - Matalan (old)

Lipstick - Topshop "Depth"

A couple of months ago I picked up this amazing rose gold midi skirt from Primark. It doesn't fit well at all but the sheer beauty of it and the teeny price tag (£12) had me sold!

I've paired it with my fluffy cropped jumper and favourite heels of the moment to make the perfect outfit for a night of drinks or dancing! This is actually pretty much what I wore for Christmas Day all those months ago and luckily the pale, girlie colours really suit for Spring!

All the pretty pink sequins and fluffy textures were too much so I had to top the look off with a super dark gothic lip. I've shown this lipstick on my Youtube Channel before and its had really mixed reactions but I absolutely love it! 

Hope you're all having a lovely week and enjoying this amazing weather! Apparently it's due to turn nassssssty for the Easter weekend...good ole England eh?

Fangirl

 Dress - Fashion Union

Boots - Matalan (old)

Coat - Vintage

Lipstick - Sleek "Smother"

If you follow my Instagram (ABritishBunny) you may already know that the other weekend we all headed off to Oxford to watch Dan fight for the title...aaaaaaaaaaand...he won with a KO in the first round and now he has the GoT style title of "WELTER WEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE SOUTHERN REGION" and this big ole belt for keeps!
(Here's the video if you're interested)

It's always tricky to know what to wear to these things. Although it's classed as a fight "night" we normally arrive around 2/3 ish and don't leave til gone 9. The dresscode varies from tracksuits to ballgowns (no joke) so I tend to plonk for my usual smart/casual dress and boots combination.

I got this T Shirt dress from Fashion Union (super cheap but really slow delivery time) a while ago. As the material is super clingy and highlights any lumps and bumps it's been sitting on my clothes rail waiting for me to lose a bit of weight for a while, so literally jumped at me for the chance to accompany Spanx to fight night! 

I love this kind of oversized shift dress with ankle boots and the mesh panelling on the sleeves makes it a more edgy, evening piece. Obviously my favourite Matalan boots were called for duty and threw on my "vintage" pink coat for a bit of warmth!

It was a brilliant evening and I'm so proud of the victories achieved by Dan and his team.

But the real question is...who can pull off the Champion look better?
