Arcadia's dress up box... and a little something new.

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!

Arcadia Dress Up Box

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...

Arcadia Dress Up Box
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.
