High Street Fashion Week Catwalk London Visit // Haul

Some of you may know that a few weeks back I visited London to attend High Street Fashion Week where I modelled for the designer Tamara Joseph in her Catalyst Collection. I wasn't overly impressed with the event but I might go into that in another post! Below are a few pictures from the event as well as a little haul of bits I bought when I was there.

Urbanz Talkz Headphones and Soap and Glory Super-Colour Fabulipstick // Review

Since seeing Dr Dre's Beats headphones, I've really wanted a pair. Jack has a pair of cheapish ones so after I tried his out, I wanted a pair even more. I'm not that much of a techy so I wouldn't actually notice the difference between Beats and other standard ones, so this Urbans Talkz pair are perfect for me. I love how they look, simple and black yet I still feel 'cool' in them (pretend I didn't say that!). They are so so comfortable and they have an inbuilt microphone making it really useful for when I use it with my Android phone, listening to the radio on the way to work as I have been doing a lot recently.

I also popped on my new beautiful Super-Colour Fabulipstick in Pow Pow. It's such a gorgeous deep pink and I love it as an alternative to the standard deep red. The little detail on the actual stick is so so cute, it's sad but it really is things like that, that draw me to things!

natasha michelle // Homeware Review

Since I got my bed a good few years back, I wanted to find the perfect cushions to go on it. As it's a day bed, I had planned on getting loads and loads, and using it as a sofa when it's not being used to sleep in. My friend Tash who I've been friends with nearly 16 years (makes me feel so old haha) has always been creative for as long as I can remember. I was always so jealous of her textiles at school as she'd create such beautiful little pieces. She now has her own little shop 'natasha michelle' where she sells beautiful handmade cushions, heart hangings, bunting and much more. What I love is that everything she makes can be personalised however you like it and she's open to any ideas you have.

She kindly gifted me this gorgeous cushion which I simply love how it looks on my bed so I'm excited to start a little collection! Also this sweet little heart which now hangs from one of the posts on my bed. Don't you think they're just so SO pretty?!

Check out her Facebook page here where you can see bits and bobs that she's made, as well as getting in contact with her to purchase anything or inquire about personalised items.

Fashion Targets Breast Cancer // Charity Fundraiser

Recently I was emailed asking if I'd be interested in helping with a fund-raiser called Fashion Targets Breast Cancer which you may have spotted on the banner at the top on my blog. In its 17th year and the leading campaign raises vital money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. This year’s campaign is being supported by well-known mother and daughter pairs, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne and Pearl and Daisy Lowe, who are encouraging everybody to join in and #WearYourSupport.

The range is full of exclusive pieces that can be teamed up for any occasion, with prices to suit all budgets. Companies such as Marks & Spencer, River Island, Warehouse, Topshop, my-wardrobe.com, Coast, Laura Ashley and Debenhams have all launched exclusive Fashion Targets Breast Cancer products which carry a minimum 30% donation. 

Each year 50,000 women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer. They want the UK to Wear Your Support for these women and unite to stop women dying from this disease. This is a cause I'm particularly interested in helping since my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and is therefore very close to my heart.

To show (and wear) my support, I chose this cute little bird tee from River Island as I can't resist a cute little illustration. Please look through the lookbook here and spare a few pounds for people who would really benefit. 

Lilac Bows // Nail Art Tutorial

This was a design I did a little while ago, but after posting it on Instagram, it seemed a few of you liked it so I thought I'd do a little tutorial. It's not that hard, but I also wanted to show you my Nail Tattoos I received in my AX Paris Circus Event goody bag. Hope you like them!
