Last week I popped down to London for a few meetings, a spot of shopping and the Very SS12 preview event. I’m always thrilled to be invited to press events – there’s always lots of food, a steady stream of alcohol and plenty of other bloggers. What’s not to love?
Admittedly, Spring/Summer is not my favourite season, and January is hardly the month to inspire thoughts of bare arms and beachy hair. But after three glasses of Prosecco and a mint green manicure, I was feeling decidedly sunny! The bright, bold colours and contrasting prints soon pushed all thoughts of a Slanket from my mind.
I’m looking forward to wearing all the romantic, floaty styles coming for Spring 2012, so I was particularly pleased to spot an abundance of chiffon and pastels. This gorgeous beaded dress has a 40s feel about it too – perfect for fans of the vintage-inspired look.
Hi Kim!
I wore my vintage leather pencil skirt, a mint green jumper from Forever 21, grey flats c/o Sarenza and my faithful ASOS necklace. In hindsight, the leather skirt was probably not the best thing to wear on a 2.5 hour train ride. Luckily I regained my circulation when I got off!
The lovely people at Very were kind enough to provide us all with a generous goody bag – mine included a beautiful red lipstick from Daniel Sandler and these amazing leopard print brogues. J’adore!
It was great to see some of my old favourites – Kristabel, Becca, Kavita, Lily, Tor, Reena and Sophie – as well as meet some new bloggers I’ve been following for a while – Clare, Susie and Kim. Thanks Very!
The beaded dress looks gorgeous and I’m very envious of those leopard print brogues! Yum! x

I love the long-sleeved maxi. Lush. And your jumper is fab – such a gorgeous colour! Oh oh oh and I need some leopard brogues, quite urgently.
Now can you please ensure that thoughts of a slanket are pushed from your mind. FOR.EVER. The only people I could ever excuse for using them are the homeless. What’s worse is that they are made of FLEECE. Shudder. 🙂

The red and yellow dresses top left are lovely – roll on warmer weather and pretty spring/summer clothing.
Looks like they previewed some lovely stuff. The blue of that dress is on of my favourite colours.

The colour of that mint green jumper is gorgeous! Would love to know what you think of the Daniel Sandler lipstick too, I love his eyeliners and blush but haven’t tried any lip products yet.

Oh that looks like an awful lot of fun. My heart does skip a beat when I see so much beautiful beaded stuff and chiffon. Do you think I’ll have magically developed the necessary elegance to wear that sort of thing by spring? Haha!
