Desert Island Disco

Counting down the days until Bestival and loading up my wardrobe with as many sequins as humanly possible so that I can fully embrace this year's Desert Island Disco theme - think sequins, 70s, bold bright print, flares, feathers and being stranded tropical island far far away where hippies and festival folk flock. Excited much? 

I managed to pick up three amazing tops from Beyond Retro's sale online and then enjoyed a rummage in Rokit Vintage, Covent Garden where I found the most amazing sequin halter neck dress. Catch these on a blog post soon... 

Secret Cinema: Back To The Future

Last week I went Back To The Future with Secret Cinema and to say it was amazing would be an understatement. If you've been you'll know.

 

Obviously the first thing we did was jump on a big yellow school bus to check out the 'Enchantment Under The Sea' disco and it didn't disappoint. The day was filled with music and drama from car chases to high school tiffs, finishing with a screening of the much-loved film. What more could you want?

When we weren't joining in with the rock 'n' roll jive we were hanging out in the bar across town, the dinner or the funfair. We even took part in various challenges, one of which bagged us a spot in the parade. Obviously the main characters such as Biff Tannen (who could be seen cruising in his Mustang with the lads and a few baseball bats), Marty McFly, Doc Brown and of course Marty's Mum and Dad were some of the best and having a DeLorean replica speeding around us whilst we watched the film was just amazing.

#MJDAISYCHAIN

Last week, I was invited to go to the press event for Marc Jacobs' new Tweet Shop in Covent Garden, where no money is exchanged but instead customers can 'buy' things based on their use of the hashtag #MJDAISYCHAIN.

Yep, my phone was pretty much in hand with a half-composed tweet already typed out complete with the hashtag with the aim of getting at least a Marc Jacobs keyring. After a few glasses of champagne I'd tweeted about eight times and by the end of the night I'd been pampered and yes, I had a keyring.

The shop is only open at 4 East Piazza for a few days, closing today at 6pm so hurry if you want to grab yourself some goodies.

 

Lipstick on your collar

I have no excuse for not trying out Topshop’s make-up offering before now, but now that I have I won't be turning back. Affordable and bold colours… I’m in love.

Just like a MAC lipstick, their lipstick covers with a matt finish that lasts. I'd recommend 'Rio Rio' - an orange/pinkish red shade - and ‘The Damned’, which is a deep purple.

The sun has got its hat on

The sun is out again and so is my summer duster coat from H&M; I really can’t get enough of it. Today I’m also wearing a Topshop dress that has been part of my wardrobe for some time now. The monochrome print and open back not only gives it a bit of an edge but it's also super comfy so ideal for the office too.

My hamsa necklace completes the outfit along with Primark sliders and a backpack.
