Anniversary giveaway: Styling session at Evans

Tags: , , , , ,

Hey my lovelies,

So, today is the first birthday of The Wardrobe Challenge! WOOHOO! It feels crazy that it has been a year.. in some ways it seems it was AGES ago when I started (like how much my style has changed for example), yet in some ways it seems like it was only yesterday! But it has changed my life a lot, and for the better. I am of course busier than I was before blogging, but I have gained so much – amazing new friends, great opportunities, and a lot of new skills. And every new tweet or comment from you guys still makes my day :). I love you all, and I want to give something back…

I know I have hosted a few giveaways already, but this anniversary giveaway is something totally new and extremely special for me. The amazing people at Evans have teamed up with me and are sponsoring one reader a styling session with me at their London flagship store and one free outfit*! I am SO EXCITED for this opportunity, and can’t wait to do this!

What does that mean though, I hear you ask. All you need to be able to do is to come to London for the session (we can choose a time that works for us both) ..so if that is doable for you, please enter via the Rafflecopter below. You can leave me comment like ‘Enter me in the competition!’, or Tweet about the giveaway, or email me that you want to be entered. (You can do all of the above if you want more entries, but it is mandatory to do only one to get into the Rafflecopter random prizedraw.) I am not doing this to gain followers, I genuinely want to do this to give something back to you guys :).

And the prize? Well after choosing the winner at random I will email them and ask for a few things: their full length photo, clothing size, shoe size.. And also if there is something that they don’t like/can’t wear (for example some people dislike the colour red, and some ladies can’t wear heels, some can’t wear jewellery because of allergies.. etc). So I really want to listen to you and your thoughts before I start thinking about the outfits. After emailing a few times and choosing the right date & time we would meet at Evans Marble Arch store and let the styling begin! I would of course take a look at their ranges beforehand and choose some bits and pieces, so we wouldn’t start from an empty table. Ideally I would choose 3-4 outfits for the winner, take photos of them, and after that the winner can choose their favourite outfit out of them and get it for free :)!

Sounds great, right? YAY, then just get entering ladies!!!

ps. I apologise, I know this giveaway is excluding a lot of my readers (since you need to get to London)… Please keep checking the blog, there’s stuff coming up soon that everyone can be excited about ;).

* up to value of £100

Fatshion Faceoff: Red dress

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hello lovelies,

Once again it’s Wednesday, and I’m sure you know it’s Fatshion Faceoff time! If you’re new to the blog, please see here what Fatshion Faceoff is about :). This week’s item was chosen by Olivia, and she chose a red dress.

I took these photos last weekend, and I have blogged this dress before, but since it’s the only red dress I own, I had to ;). Anyway, I received an amazing red dress on the post yesterday – sadly it was too late to take new photos though, so you will see that one later. I don’t mind much though, since I like how this outfit turned out. I wore the dress with ASOS Curve floral sheer shirt, Evans booties, George at ASDA clutch and We Love Colors tights. The cherry on the top (pun very much intended, haha) was this beautiful key necklace that I was sent by Cherry Baby. It gave the outfit an extra vintagey and romantic feel, and I adore the design of it. Cherry Baby has a lot of very reasonably priced cute and quirky jewellery – I definitely recommend them!

Double Vision: Double denim

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hey lovelies,

It’s Sunday, and it’s Double Vision time again! In this challenge my amazing friend Dani and I are choosing a theme, item, movie character.. whatever we come up with basically, and style those our own way and post at the same time, more about the challenge here. This week’s theme was chosen by me, and I chose ‘Double denim’.

Double denim is something that I have been a bit afraid to try, but as one point of blog challenges is to push each other to try new things etc, I really wanted to go with it. And it turned up to be pretty good, or what do you think? This outfit definitely shows that right accessories can make a ‘meh’ outfit FAB :)!

I really think that double denim can work after all! Have you been afraid of it? Go ahead and try, and tweet/email me a pic – I’m very interested in seeing the looks you come up with :)! But before that, let’s go to DIY Fatshion and see how my fab friend Dani tackled this challenge…

Evans Shape Studio

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hey lovelies,

I was happy to be invited to Evans Shape Studio event last week. I had a great time chatting away with my fellow bloggers, and it’s always a pleasure to see the Evans ladies. There was racks of new collection clothes for Evans, and even a new label called Scarlett & Jo. We were happy to try the clothes on and have our photos taken in by a photographer – there was a lot of posing happening, like you can imagine.. it was a room full of bloggers after all ;).

These are a few of my photos, including a hilarious shot of Caroline, Georgina and me ;D! I wore a Live Unlimited top, Scarlett & Jo leggings and Dorothy Perkins Kardashian Kollection heels. All coming this Spring – Scarlett & Jo on 5th February and Live Unlimited on 25th of March – CAN’T WAIT!

After the lovely event I went for dinner with gorgeous ladies Caroline and Isha, which really was a perfect ending for a great day! Before we left Isha snapped these pics of my outfit that evening, thank you lady. I wore my awesome sale buy from ASOS Curve, I LOVE the print on this dress, so beautiful and vibrant. I wanted it to shine, so wore it with black, black and black, with the exception of the metallic plate in this cool belt ;).
