DALLAS WITH REWARD STYLE

I have just returned from the most inspirational five days in Dallas, Texas with Reward Style. (You can read about the trip here.) Amongst the beautiful weather as shown in these images we did also experience; A tornado warning whilst at the River Island Cocktail party (Under a metal structure) and numerous sudden downpours. Nether-the-less, when the sun was shining it was incredibly warm.

THE WEDDING GUEST EDIT

Above I have put together my top five wedding guest ensembles. I don't know about you but I find the searching for wedding guest attire is never ending? We've got to take into consideration the colour, the length not to mention the practicality. (Any kind of grass involves a wedge over a stiletto heel.)

SNAKE SKIN ACCESSORIES

The H&M studio mules are back again, sorry! We all have those pieces that we have to re-wear on a daily frequent basis. Usually for me it's the newest pieces I buy that I tend to want to wear all the time! The matching snakeskin bag was a steal in the sale, £7 to be exact-winner! Don't you just love print on print?

REWARD STYLE, THE CONFERENCE

As of Wednesday I will be jetting off to Dallas, Texas for reward Style's annual conference event hosted with co-founder Amber Venz-box. (If your not up to speed: rStheCon is rewardStyle’s three-day, invitation-only educational event, uniting 200 of the world's top performing fashion, beauty and lifestyle publishers with 25 high-demand, global retail brands in rewardStyle’s hometown, Dallas, Texas. SUPER EXCITED!!) Amongst the one-on-one brand meetings and mingiling with other like minded bloggers we are also attending; a Stuart Weitzaman resort style pool party, A rooftop lunch with Matches Fashion and a hell of a-lot more.

UTILITY TRENCH WISH LIST

Utility, Cargo, Khaki.. you name it, we're lusting over it! Take the Chloe sandals for example that are seen absolutely everywhere from catwalk to model, to celebrity. Of course it's typical that when we see a high street equivalent we go crazy for it. I bow down to Topshop for producing these incredible lace up wedges available in tan and black (Currently on their way to me now!)

MUSTARD SUEDE JACKET

I know what you're thinking. (She's wearing a slight bit of colour.. has she had too much sun!?) What can I say? I guess the sun brings out the mustard in me! All jokes aside, you won't believe where this suede jacket is from, in a good way of course. I love styling pieces that look insanely expensive only to be told they're a high street bargain. Want to know where this little slice of heaven is from? Keep reading..

WEARING GREY ON GREY

Wearing multiple garments in the same colour is so easy to pull off, it's all down to the silhouette, texture and tone. Mixing your fabrics is key especially as we don't want to look like a solid block of colour! Mix denim with knitwear or suede with leather, or simply just opt for different shades of the same colour

CITY BREAK STYLE - NYC

Travel supermarket are challenging 10 selected blogger's to pack for a fashionable city break to a hand picked destination for the weekend, taking hand luggage only. The winner bagging thsemelves a weekend away to their given destination! Sound easy? You'd be totally wrong. (I am the worst for over-packing!) The destination I was given was New York City-the dream! Packed into a capsule wardrobe I have put together; two travelling outfits, two day ensembles to take in the sites and three evening looks in preparation for a couple of cocktails. (Considering the weather, the destination and functionality of course!) The key to a capsule wardrobe is packing your basics; leather jacket, a jersey top, a pair of jeans, a LBD and a strappy heel, which you then mix and match with your on trend pieces.

All item's featured in my NYC capsule wardrobe are shopable below;

EGYPT WITH SWIMEAR365

Sun, style, swimwear and Soma.

Last month myself and Charlotte were 1 of 2 bloggers whisked away on an all inclusive 5 night stay at the luxury 5* Kempinksi Hotel in Soma Bay to style a swimwear photoshoot in the Red Sea, Egypt with Swimwear365. Accompanying us on the trip were 10 of the most influential journalists working for the UK's leading weekly publications. The dream you ask? Oh yes. I'll let the images speak for themselves..
