Arcadia's dress up box... and a little something new.
>> 27.8.09
As soon as I read the invite for the Arcadia bloggers event, I knew it was going to be fun times ahead... Drinks, Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridges collections for us to try & a photographer to document our outfits. Pretty much a dreamy set up. And spot on as well as I was thinking just today how I haven't been posting outfit photos for absolute ages on the blog. I don't really have time to set everything up and do it at the moment, so tonight was a good time to catch up!
I went there with my favourite partner in crime Cate from Bitchbuzz and it was nice to see the familiar faces of DisneyRollerGirl & Clare from Young Shields. Miggy pulled some pretty cool shapes for the camera & I really think Tyra would be proud. I also got to put a face to the name Discotheque Confusion, which was nice!
I tried on a few things, but in the end, this pretty simple jersey floral dress won. It is from Dorothy Perkins of all places, as are the shoes if I remember correctly.
I am also going to use this as a chance to show you my new hair! I am still getting used to it, as it is a pretty drastic change, but I sort of love it already!

I also tried on the super coveted Ashish leopard wedges, and drooled over some KTZ pieces I had been previously drooling over at London Fashion Week's exhibition back in February. There are lots of pretty things coming up in Topshop & Dorothy Perkins for the Fall, so start saving up will be my advice of the day...
I think this dress needs a belt to really work on me, but I couldn't find any that I liked or would go with it...The photographer was Alistair Guy, you should go and check out his work RIGHT NOW.

The hair looks fabulous and really goes well with lots of blue! Cute dress and I *love* the shoes, I may well have to keep an eye out for them hitting the stores (and hope they come up narrow, I hate my awkward feet!)
I had to skip the event at the last minute, I was still at home typing up fashion credits for an irish mag :S, I'm still working on it. Glad you had fun :)
