CUT for Evans - AW14 Launch Party

Happy Monday everyone!

So with the weekend over, it's back to work and a mega busy week ahead full of exciting bloggy things. Before all this begins, I want to tell you about the Cut for Evans AW14 launch party that I attended a couple of weeks ago.

This Cut collection is designed by 2 fashion design students, Ellie Northway and Eve Turley and has 11 pieces. There are a variety of fabrics, textures and colours and overall is a really lovely collection with something for everyone.

My two favourite items from the collection are:

 Bright Multicoloured Contrast Digital Print Dress

Purple Digital Print Bomber Jacket

Here I am trying on a few bits from the collection as well:

This jumpsuit looked cute on a lot of the girls but just wasn't my favourite cut.

And now for a few pictures from the event - where I saw so many of my favourite bloggers and tried on a few other items from Evans - I am loving all the gorgeous colours in store at the moment.

Here I am with Hollie from Pretty Big Butterflies and Nancy from Sugar Darling - Aren't they gorgeous?

This pink crepe jacket is a must now that I have tried it on -the fit and colour are perfect!

The lovely ladies from GlamourLipsUK were at the event doing glitter lips for everyone! I am in love with they way they look and will definitely be getting some for Christmas parties this year! 

Excuse the blurry photo - but this is my favourite little ensemble that I put together, all of the items are in store now.

Apologies for the long winded post - I just had so much to share with you! If you are in London, pop into the Evans at Marble Arch as the selection is great at the moment and well worth a browse.  I'd love to know what you all think of the new Cut collection!

Event: SCPR AW14 Press Day

Happy Thursday friends!

So today I want to share a quick post about the SCPR AW 14 press day that I attended last week - mostly because I saw some things that I am really looking forward to seeing in stores and online come end of Summer. 

I started by checking out the new Marisota range, including some of the Mark Heyes Collection. I was so wowed last time by that Chanel style Boucle biker jacket that I could't wait to see what he had come up with next. I actually saw Mark there, and he is always sweet as pie when I meet him, such a treat!

Here is the new duster coat in the collection and it is beautiful and lightweight.

There are some really great colours and prints to look forward to in the Marisota collection, I love these three bits here - ahh! sequins, lips and leopard!

I also checked out the Claire Richards for Fashion World collection and it really looks amazing, I think better than the last one even. There are some beautiful classic silhouettes and lovely prints too.  Everything has been well thought about, like elastics hidden on t shirt sleeve cuffs so they don't cut off your circulation above your elbow and built in but removable jewelry.

I also saw the preview for the Liz McClarnon lingerie and lounge wear collection, which, if I'm honest didn't really impress me. The lingerie was cute but not life changing and the lounge wear was simple sweatpants and jersey tops with a cute LM logo on it. Sorry I didn't get any snaps of it!

The last thing that I was totally in love with was a company called DESA and they do leather goods and shoes - unfortunately not in plus sizes but I couldn't resist these few bits.

If someone in the plus size sphere is listening please make us all these jackets OMG!

I am by no means wishing away Summer or Spring but I am pretty excited to see all these goodies appearing online and in stores! Did any of you get a chance to visit the press day - what was your favourite?
