Here are my pics from the New Look A/W 2011 press day that I went to on Wednesday as well as photos of when I went to the launch party of New Look's new Style the Nation show. Style the Nation is hosted by Nick Grimshaw and is basically a competition to find the next "big" stylist for New Look.
As for the A/W collection, I really loved it. The colours were really lovely as were all the embellished dresses which I'm sure will be adoring my wardrobe. I loved all the chunky knits especially this bobbly dark red jumper, all the patterned jumpers and oversized cardigans. As we all know I have a knitwear obsession! There was some leopard moccasin style shoes that could rival my iconic Primarni leopard shoes! I noticed quite a few of the tribal/ethic style jewelry that the blogasphere has been rocking for what feels like forever! I'm sure as per most seasons New Look will be getting a large portion of my money this Autumn Winter. So gutted I don't work there any more to take full advantage of the discount!
I know I haven't done a outfit post all week, I am focusing on university so really expect blogging to be a bit sparse/without commentary for the next two weeks till my hand in! I have alot of things to post about as well, just have no idea when I'll have time to get it all done!
im watching the song contest yes...but if you post something new i can sacrifice a few minutes :)))

ReplyDeleteThat dress looks beautiful on you, I might pop into topshop monday and have a nose to see if I can find that dress. I kept thinking it was 'too blue'but it really is flattering! However you would look beautiful in a bin bag!
ReplyDeleteHope uni work doesn't run you down too much, I know it can be a major killer but having a bit of time to yourself is always a must to keep sane!
You look so darling in that blue dress, it's such a beautiful color on you. I'm enamored with the patterned jumpers and the tribal print rucksack!

So glad to see New Look back on form. I hated last year's AW press day, all the clothes were horrendous.

I never thought blue lace would work but you have certainly shown me otherwise- not tacky at all- kinda want one now!
ReplyDeleteAs always you love beaut and it loves like you had a fab time; jelo much?! ;)
I'm actually shocked that those are from New Look, it looked more High end than High street, I guess that just goes to show you how good the old british high street is nowadays.
