Last Tuesday I was lucky enough to be invited to the Melabella blogger event, which showcased the amazing pieces Bella has developed and made for A/W 2012. This is her second Autumn Winter collection and has already been featured in Elle and Grazia among others!

The evening was lovely, talking to Bella was great and it's was really interesting to learn more about her designing process and how she develops her ideas into pieces on wonderful clothing! And I got to meet loads of other bloggers from the London area which was equally great since I haven't really met any other bloggers before haha!

Anyway I'll let the photos of the collection talk for itself (some photos are mine- the terrible ones! and some are from the press pack I was emailed after the evening).

Bella focuses on signature prints, flattering shapes and versatility that have the ability to become wardrobe staples. Bella's grandmother Thora played a key role in inspiring this collection, she explained her grandmother always had impeccable style and vintage 'look' can be seen in the flattering, beautifully made clothes.

The print I liked the most were the 'dalton dancers' which was inspired by a mysterious envelope dated back to 1955 which was full of charming silhouettes that had been sent to Thora from her sister.

Thanks to Melabella and Sticky Communications for putting on such a fun evening, I can't to see next years Spring Summer collection!

What do you guys think? Any bits you would like for your wardrobe?

Happy Birthday To Me!

Last Monday it was my 23rd birthday (sobsob), to celebrate I went on 2 days/nights out over the weekend and then had a birthday lunch at mine on the Monday.

Friday:
Me and my friends went to the Bangface Summer Boat Party, the Bangface club nights are always pretty crazy and this was no exception and probably even better as we were travelling up and down the Thames on a boat! There was a fancy dress theme of olympics but me and my friends are too lazy for that kind of thing so just went in normal clothes! I have to warn you if you ever decide to go to Bangface- DO NOT WEAR HEELS! It is not that kind of club night, the DJs are crazy, for example my friend's favourite DJ is called ShitMat. I think that explains what kind of night it is and then kind of mental dancing that ensues.

Here is a terrible photo of what I wore (I got too pissed to remember to take a full body one):

Pictured- Topshop Skeleton Print Crop Top American Apparel Hoody

Not Pictured- Vintage Denim Levis Shorts Vans

I was also wearing these tights, which are AWESOME! And made a cool match with my top:

House of Holland Bone Tights

Here's another photo of me and the boyf:

Jon managed to lose his ID before this weekend so I had to carry around his birth certificate for him, which was just ridiculous/funny. (Also I learnt his mum was born in Scotland from it).

Saturday:

Gotten driven home from London- wooo, no train for me! Then sat around and ate pizza in the evening, to prepare for...

Sunday:

On Sunday we all went to Radio 1's Hackney Weekend- wheeey :D It was a great day and really well organised I thought, not much waiting around for artists to come on stage and stuff. While there I managed to see- Labrinth, Skream & Benga, Madeon (he looks about 12- it's scary!), Azealia Banks, Santigold, Sub Focus, Magnetic Man, Chase & Status, Plan B, Florence + the Machine, Rihanna and a tiny bit of Jessie J and Dizzee Rascal.
A very successful day for music and me I'd say!

Here's what I wore:

Sorry about the sun face!

Topshop Matching Crop Top & Shorts

Me, Florence and Cider!

Topshop T-shirt- wore over crop when I was chilly!

I love the co-ords trend so much and when I saw the trinket print I knew I had to get this outfit! Want more co-ords... Need more co-ords...

Monday:
I had an amazing birthday buffet lunch with all my friendys, and I had a birthday trifle instead of a cake- nomnom! Forgot to take a photo of it though :(

Finally here's a bunch of photos of some presents I got :)
