Winter Wonderland Meetup #WWMeetup

Thank you everyone for coming to the Winter Wonderland meetup that myself and Ellie from Style and Starbucks have been organising for the past couple of months, I hope you all had a good day! We just had a wander round the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland and then lunch at Ed's Diner and a trip around the shops on Oxford Street and obviously a little Selfridges (standard!) before heading home. Oxford Street is so pretty at the moment and they even had some fake snow falling in the evening which you can see at the end of my vlog.

Sorry we didn't get a whole group photo before some of you left but at the top of this post is one with most of the girls in! Below is a little vlog that I did with some video clips from the day if you wanted to watch!

and if I recover

Dress: ASOS
Belt: Primark
Boots: Clarks
Necklace: eBay
Lipstick: MAC 'Ruby Woo'
Bag: Tula via TKMaxx

Here is what I wore to the Access All ASOS #TonightIs Christmas party on Tuesday night. I love floral prints so I thought I would go for a winter floral dress as although it's not very Christmassy its still nice and girly! I bought this Tula bag as a last minute thing as I was in Brighton and needed something to go with this outfit for my work Christmas meal the next day and it wasn't a bad price considering it's real leather so should hopefully wear well and last a long time and because it's black it means it will pretty much go with most outfits which is great!

What do you think of winter florals? What Christmas dresses do you have planned for any parties you're going to in the next couple of weeks?

Also I thought I'd go all Christmassy and bring a bit of snow onto islaay.com what do you think of it?

#AccesAllASOS #TonightIs Christmas Party

On Tuesday I was invited to the #AccessAllASOS #TonightIs Christmas party so I took a trip up to London and met up with Perdi before heading along to the ASOS HQ (I've decided that this would be the coolest place ever to work, ASOS is one of my favourite online shops and their HQ is amazing. They even have Batiste dry shampoo, hair grips and face wipes in the loos for touch ups!)

We got to have a look at some of the new Needle & Thread Christmas collection, the ASOS Christmas jumpers and a few presents along with seeing the collections from a couple of ASOS Marketplace sellers. There were people doing Christmassy nail art and we even got to meet @OfficialSanta (highlight of the evening!). There was a beauty pick n mix so we got a couple of bit to take home and some really nice Christmassy drinks and nibbles. It was so lovely to meet everyone and to have a look at the new ranges so thank you ASOS for inviting me!

I will be doing an outfit post with this outfit in a couple of days so look out for it when it's up!

Nobody knows what the future holds, and it's bad enough just getting old

My outfit:

Dress: New Look*

Boots: Clarks

Lipstick: mac 'rebel'

Nails: Essie 'sole-mate'

Carissa's outfit

Playsuit: Topshop

Necklace: Topshop

Shoes: Kurt Geiger

Clutch: Osprey

Here is what myself and my friend Carissa wore to our work Christmas party on Saturday night, we went for a meal to a nice hotel in Chichester and the night ended up with us teaching an 80 year old guy how to do the Macarena... My dress is one of the ones that I posted in my New Look party dress wishlist, I like how you can dress it up or down as you could easily wear it with tights and a cardigan for wearing casually day to day.

Also Carissa deserves more people following her blog and YouTube so you should go and have a little look at them and maybe give her a follow!

mini Brighton LUSH event

A couple of days ago myself and my friend Carissa went to the Brighton LUSH blogger lock-in to have  a look at some of the new Christmas range and to give some of the new products a go. We got to do hand massages, make our own comforter bubble bar and try out their new perfume range along with having some mince pies and bucks fizz. We had a lovely time and it was so nice to see all of the Brighton bloggers again! I have a short vlog at the bottom of this post if you wanted to watch it and you can find my YouTube channel islaayx here!
