OOTD: Rocking the Vintage...


I tweeted last night about an 80's vintage blazer my mum gave me and thought I'd pop it into an outfit of the day post. This outfit is pretty black, but I was only going to work. Had a rubbish day and got sent home from work after 2 HOURS! I hate this bloody recession. Starting my uni course very soon, I'm pretty excited but I'm going to be soon busy with that, and working a much as possible. I'm currently saving to move out, scary stuff! 

 

My makeup is really minimal today as I was feeling so lazy. Just a touch of Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation, Maybelline black gel liner and L'oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black. 

T-shirt : H&M
Skirt with Belt: New Look
Earrings: New Look
Necklace: Accessorize
Tights: M&S
Ring: Primark
Blazer: House of Fraiser 20-30 years ago

Hope you are all well :)

VOGUE Fashion's Night Out 2011

So next week is Vogue Fashion's Night Out... I first heard about the event, or shopping experience on twitter last year but was too busy to go and London is so far away for a little country girl like myself :) Literally by coincidence, this year I shall be in London all weekend to visit a friend so I have decided to go up a day early to see what all the fuss is about. Now, if like myself earlier self, are not quite sure what these frivolities include I shall explain...


Think of VFNO as a late night shopping experience, combined with celebrities, models, champagne and cocktails, nibbles, competitions and goody bags. The best part is, because you are essentially there to make the stores money, entry is free and does not require a ticket (bar a few exceptions like some PR parties.


I would seriously recommend coming along to take in the great atmosphere, find some bargains (most shops are offering around 20% discount on the night)and meet to lovely people, including lots of gorgeous beauty and fashion bloggers! It takes place on Thursday 9th September in and around Soho, mainly of Oxford and Regents street I think. 


I shall provide links for all the information you require and I hope to see some of your there. If you have an iPhone I recommend downloading the VFNO App to help find your way around. If you do intend to go please let me know so I can say hello! I shall be tweeting prior to, and throughout the evening to let you know where I am heading. I shall also vlog and blog the event for anyone who is curious, now I just need to decide what to wear...
