Fashion Frenzy Entry

Mornin lovelies! Hope you're all well I'm currently fereeezing and huddling into my chair like it's bloomin November already.

Today's post has excited me quite a bit actually, Zalandro (faab website chockablock with more amazing clothes you can shake a credit card at) is running this fabbo competition where you can win a years (YES YEARS) supply of vouchers to splurge away with. To be in with a chance of landing this amazing prize you have to design a dream outfit featuring clothes from Zalando and post it on your bloggeroo along with why you selected each item.

(For full deets of the comp check out the info here)

Here's my entry! I decided to do it in the format of a little story so settle down and get comfy:

The Zalando Entry

My story would start with me chillin, comfy and casual in my house, browsing some blogs, bemoaning my lack of money and OMG WHAT IS THIS? A ZALANDO COMPETITION? Count me IN. Whilst I frantically set about typing up my entry I'd be wearing:

- The most beautiful and versatile LBD I've seen in a long time - Reassuringly drapey (hello hiding post lunch bulges), classy and timeless and most of all just gorgeous to look at this baby would be my go to piece this A/W get it for yourself HERE 

- Along with my gorge dress I'd be draped in THIS beautiful cream cardi which would frankly go with just about anything in any wardrobe.

- Keeping my tootsies nice and cosy would be THESE beautiful ballet flats which would proably make me want to pretend to be Natalie Portman instead of actually getting on with daily life but be totally and utterly worth it.

So, there we are I'd tap tap tap away and eventually come up with my entry, hit send, recline, relax and read some more blogs and then OMG I WON? WHAT? REALLY?
Time for a quick dash out in the chilly Autumn weather to spread my fabulous news:

 For this excitement fuelled little jaunt I'd add a gorgeous cosey pair of TIGHTS under my trusty LBD, layer on the most gorgeous cropped BIKER JACKET I have ever seen (I just want to bury down into it and hibernate for the whole of A/W) followed by an utterly gorgeous printed SCARF which would work with anything in my wardrobe. Then I'd finish up the look in absolute style with the most amazing WINTER BOOTS I've seen for a long while and a gorgeous cross body bohemian style BAG

So, once I'd braved the winter chill in absolute style my friends and I would be in the mood to celebrate like we've never celebrated before. Hello cocktails, dancing and night out style time!
I'd be rocking:

Yes I'ts my trust LBD again! Couldn't miss another oppurtunity to show off it's fabulous versitility could I? This time it'd be teamed with the most uhmazing rock n roll SHOEBOOTS to add a real fierce Gwen Stefani edge to the outfit. Talking of dear Gwen no fierce outfit is complete without a gorgeous slash of rock n roll RED LIPPY - the ultimate glam accessory. I'd match this lippie with a traffic stopping RED CLUTCH - just big enough to hold my last Style essential some lush LIQUID EYLINER

So there we are! After that I'd be all partied out but I'm so sure my hangover (and any other issue ever) would be eased by the faabulous prize I would have been lucky enough to bag!

Hope you like my entry honies! Have a go yourself and wish me luck!

Madelines 'Summer walk' competition

Hey babes, I hope you're all well and good! As you might know if you follow me on twitter I was having a little bit of a melt-down last night over financial issues having spent the day haring around town trying to get it all sorted I wasn't that impressed to hear I'd have to wait till today at the earliest to fix things up!

However, every cloud has a silver lining and seeing as I had a free none-finance based evening I decided to set about working on a competition enty for the gorgeous Madelines 'Summer Walk' competition.

The competition basically is to design a gorgeous outfit that you would wear on a summer walk and wether it be in an outfit post , a polyvore build or any other format post it on your blog. For full details you can check out the post about it here and please do head over and check the rest of her blog while you're there - it's one of my all time favourites!

 

So, for my entry I decided to put a little fashionismyh2o twist on things and design three outfits based around the same simple tank top that would fit varying styles.

Here we are :

Outfit one - Rock n roll

 This would deffo be my style pick. I love the black shorts I think they'd be super flattering as well as cool in the heat. The sandals are funky enough to add a real edge to the outfit without being too difficult to walk in. And as for the ring - LOVE ha-ha.
Outfit Two - Girlie

 This outfit is so freakin cute. It's not exactly my personal style but if I saw it on someone else I would love it. The shorts are so gorgeous in a vintage esque way and as for the sandals - j'adore!

Outfit Three - Boho

This is a very laid-back California girl set. I absolutely adore the shorts with their pocket detailing and the sandals are amazing! This'd definitely be my second choice outfit as I love a bit of bohemia in the warm weather!

So there we are then honey's three Summer Looks for the last of the summer sun, which ones your fave?
If you like / want anything out of the sets let me know and I'll find you a link to the item :)

High-Street Princess - My look competition entry.

Once upon a time there was a girl named Sarah. Most unusually for a story beginning as this does, Sarah was no Princess. She wore no crown of glory upon her head. She had no waist-length golden curls that fell like an obedient waterfall over her gowns of ivory and lace. Sarah was not the prettiest, the smartest and she most certainly was not the richest. Sarah often gazed around the land in which she inhabited in despair - not because she had missplaced her prince, become locked in a tower or awoken surrounded by strange dwarf like creatures (in-fact Sarah was rather petite herself so would have felt rather at home there). Sarah was in despair because all around her the beleif that only thin is in, only designer will do and that only pampered hollywood icons are beautiful resonated. Girls across the land were forever reminded that their adverage bodies, their normal hair and their budget clothes would never be good enough.

Sarah had had enough. In September 2010 she embarked upon a journey to reassure the girls of her nation that they are all beautiful, they are all worthy and that with a little magic (of the fairy godmother variety or the magic star chocolate variety - your choice) every single one of them can look and feel incredible. For months now Sarah has worked on her journey of bringing beautiful yet affordable goodies to the girls of Great Britain. She has battled through the High-Streets on many a Saturday (Armed with an umbrella instead of a sword - fear not) and spent hours refreshing the 'New In' pages that our high-street fashion houses display online. After such quests Sarah has sat (often accompanied by a little chocolate for sustenance) and pondered just what items would work for what fair maiden. This quest has been long and arduos but Sarah has loved every second of it and will continue on her journey for just as long as the girls of Great Britain desire.

But now, word has reached Sarah, drifted downear on the blogwind, that a new challenge has arisen, one brimming with oppurtunites and chances too great to miss out on. One that would mean the world to a little none Princess from a small and sleepy suburb outside of Birmingham. The chance to report live from a show that champions the glory of affordable fashion. The chance to view first hand the gorgeous garments that will form the inspiration for so many outfits in the coming months. The chance to revel in the glorious change that is occuring, the change which is allowing all of us none-princesses out there to to feel, to LOOK like the beautiful, gorgeous, successful girl that we all deserve to be.

It is time to stand up for the normal girl, the adverage budget, the high-street clothes and the drug store beauty and realise that we are all beautiful. We are all as incredible as the richest Hollywood supernova. We're all amazing. 

Let's start beleiving.
