The Sole Saviour


I've been a big fan of a heeled shoe since I was about seventeen, when I decided I would wear heels even to school. Yep, I was that girl. I now own a grand total of two pairs of flat shoes, both of which are trainers. What can I say? Heels are my life. 

But, as you can imagine, when attending blog events or parties in London, it can become a bit of a pain to have to trek from the station to the venue in a gorgeous pair of stilettos. So, when the lovely people at Sinderella* flats got in touch and offered to send me a pair of their foldable shoes I was like "YES. YES I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE. YES."

The Tea Files - The Sanderson


It's now an annual (as well as monthly) tradition of mine to attend an afternoon tea around the Christmas period with my mama. Although we do make a habit of going quite a lot for this segment of the blog, it's even more special around the Christmas period where we can have a browse of the shops before sitting down for a good old fashion cake fest. This time, we visited The Sanderson where I have only been once before for a blogging event. This one was recommended by so many of you so I thought it was only right to put it on the list!

2015 in Outfits


1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

When I first started Hello Miss Jordan, it was never envisioned as a fashion blog. It was primarily supposed to be a lifestyle blog where my face was barely ever shown, until one day I decided to go in front of the camera. And I have to say, it's the best decision I ever made.

Blue Velvet


Do you ever find yourself drawn to something you would never normally buy? Well, that's basically what happened with this dress. When I first saw it, I was immediately like "OH MY GOD I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE NOW". Why? Nobody knows. Maybe it's the fact that it's made entirely of velvet.  Maybe it's because it makes me feel a bit like a Steampunk princess.

Christmas Morning


Photography by Martin Brown

Guess who's back...back again. Okay, so I did that thing where I took a little bit of a break, but if I'm honest I've been ridiculously busy! I was recently in a musical which was taking up a great deal of my time, as well as finishing my second to last term of university. It's all been a bit hectic, especially with Christmas coming up, so I thought it would be best to step back a bit from the blogging world until I felt like I could really feel passionate about it again. 

And if there's one thing I know, it's that a good old fashioned photoshoot is just the thing to cheer me up! Especially when the photoshoot involves me not even having to get out of my pyjamas...

Christmas Gift Guide for Disney Lovers 2015


Last year, my Christmas Guide for Disney Lovers was met with such a popular response that I knew I had to do it again! As I've said before, despite being mad about Disney, all of the tacky merchandise that's normally associated with it can sometimes really not be to my taste. I'd much rather have something subtle and more personal to me, even if it doesn't scream I LOVE DISNEY to everyone around me. So I've selected a few of my favourite items from the web that I think are the perfect gift for someone who's obsessed with the magic, but without the tat! 

Top Row

Adventure Book - This is definitely something really special! I have always loved the movie Up and one of my favourite aspects of it is the Adventure Book that Ellie and Carl share. This one's perfect for the Disney lover who loves adventures around the world.

Neverland Beanie - The first of many items from my new favourite website, Whosits and Whatsits. Their beanies are perfect for men and women and this one is definitely my favourite! A subtle nod to Peter Pan but can still be worn on a daily basis. Also perfect for a Peter Pan Disneybound!

Christmas Card - I just had to put this one in because it's just the cutest! If you're looking for a card to go alongside your gift, this is the one! 

Middle Row

Daughters of Triton T-Shirt - This has to be my favourite shirt from the Whosits and Whatsits website! It features the concert poster from the fabulous Daughters of Triton concert that appears at the beginning of The Little Mermaid. Again, if you wear this out and somebody knows what it's about, you'll know you've met a true Disney fan (and maybe a friend for life!). 

Cinderella's Slipper Necklace - This necklace may be a little bit more on the obvious side, but I couldn't not include it because it's just stunning. It's white gold plated with a glitter finish and crystal decorations and would look beautiful with any outfit! 

The Key to Neverland Necklace - Know someone who would fit in perfectly amongst the Lost Boys and mermaids? This handy key to Neverland ought to get them there! It's also super pretty! 

Bottom Row

Message Necklace - I absolutely adore this necklace and to be honest I'm considering buying one for myself! Although not completely Disney related, you can have anything you want written on the circle and for me that would have to be a Disney quote. 

Disney Movie Print - This darker version of The Little Mermaid poster is perfect for the house of a Disney lover with a darker side. They also do dark versions of The Lion King and Bambi so you can adorn your walls with as many as you want! 

Phone Case - I've been on the hunt for a new phone case as I'm just about to upgrade and this one is so gorgeous! It features a hand drawn version of a particularly memorable castle on a clear case so you can still see the beauty of your phone at the same time.

Into the Woods


If you didn't know already, I kind of have a thing about being a princess. My unrealistic dreams of living in a castle and wearing ballgowns all day is usually only expressed through my realistic obsession with tulle. So, when this for no better word stunning dress from the lovely people at Jones & Jones arrived on my doorstep, I was absolutely over the moon.

Muriel's Kitchen


After our wonderful photoshoot out and about in London, Saida and I strolled over to Soho to meet Lauren for a bit of lunch. I recommend Muriel's Kitchen, which, if you've been reading my blog for long enough, you will know I've reviewed before for breakfast. I've never had the chance to go for dinner before though so I was very excited!

When You Wishlist #4 - Beauty


It's not often that I treat myself to beauty products, but when I do I love for it to be a real treat! So around Christmas time when all the gorgeous gift sets and special products are released it feels even more special. It's like getting a present! Except the present is from yourself...this is either very sad or very cute. I'll let you decide. 

Top Row

L'Occitane Gift Sets - L'Occitane has always been one of my favourite beauty brands as well as my mama's. Their scents are absolutely unreal and so gorgeous so their gift sets had to make their way onto this wishlist. I chose my two favourites, the Cherry Blossom gift set and the Shea Butter gift set that both come in beautifully packaged boxes ready for giving! Or giving...to yourself...They've just started their #TheGiftIWantToKeep campaign and I kid you not I relate personally to this




Jo Malone Christmas Cracker - The first of two Jo Malone products to pop up in this wishlist, but this one's cheating a bit because you actually get four products! They're all jam packed inside possibly the best Christmas cracker I've ever seen in my entire life. A candle, cologne, hand wash and body creme! It's just perfect. 

Middle Row

Kiko Intensely Lavish Lipstick - I already have one of these lipsticks in the shade 'Lusty Peony' and it has to be my favourite lipstick of all time! It's absolutely perfect in every way so I would love to invest in a second one. The shade above is called 'Luscious Red' and it looks just like the perfect red shade for Christmas. 


Jo Malone French Lime Blossom Cologne - Oops, another Jo Malone item. I told you I'm obsessed. If you've never tried one of their fragrances then you are missing out! They are the best fragrances I've ever smelt. They are very natural and never smell artificial when you wear them. I would love for my next one to be French Lime Blossom so I can smell like an orchard of flowers. 

Guerlain Meteorites - Ahhh yes. The legendary Guerlain pearls that are just the most beautiful things I've ever laid eyes on. Not only are they absolutely stunning, but I've heard amazing things about them and would love to try them out. Plus they come in this gorgeous pot that would definitely have a special place on my dresser. 

Bottom Row

Soap & Glory Cleansing Milk - This one's probably the most useful thing on my wishlist, but I've been looking for a new cleanser for a while and this one looks like a great size! I love Soap & Glory as well. 


Charlotte Tilbury 'Dolce Vita' Palette - Another popular item amongst bloggers, I've had my eye on the Dolce Vita palette from Charlotte Tilbury for a while now. It's just the perfect neutral palette and I think I would get so much use out of this. 

Tarte Blush Set - Ever since I heard about Tarte I've wanted to try one of their Amazonian clay blushes. They look beautiful and this gift set comes with four different ones all in lovely shades! I'm a big blush fan so this set would be perfect for me. 



This post is sponsored by L'Occitane but all opinions on gorgeous beauty products are my own.

Give Me Burgundy


As much as I love Brighton, there really is something special about shooting in the streets of London! The other day I headed on up to see the lovely Saida who I haven't seen in far too long, and we had a little wander around the Trafalgar Square area to see if we could find a prime shooting location. 

We were walking along the main road when we both turned and looked at the same time to see the most gorgeous little Notting Hill-esque street! It was like we stumbled upon the blogger shooting street jackpot and as it was a weekday it wasn't too busy either. It was, however, insanely windy, but I'm sure that gave a good 'wind-machine effect'.

Turning Envy into Motivation


I've always been the kind of person who puts herself down. It's my biggest flaw, in fact, and one of the things that I feel holds me back from being truly happy. In the two years I've been blogging, there is one thing that really haunts me and it's the ugliest thing: envy.

Strapless Stripes


I don't know about anyone else, but I've always had a hatred of the idea of strapless bras. The fact that there's usually no support, they're super uncomfortable and you spend half the day walking around in public performing an action that looks like you're trying to stop your entire chest from sliding off like melted ice cream.

When You Wishlist #3 - Autumn/Winter


Top Row

Monsoon Quartz Dress - This dress though. Anything that's head to toe sparkles and makes me look like a mermaid princess is 100% on my must have list. How perfect is it?! 


Dog Treat Jar - The first doggy item on my list is this adorable treat jar from Next! Now that I have little Oscar in my life, doggy items have started to sneak their way onto my wishlists. You know I love him when I'd rather buy Oscar things than myself! But seriously this is perfect for holding all his treats and it would look lovely on the kitchen counter. 


Velvet Dress - Another gorgeous dress is this Oasis number. Winter is the perfect time for velvet and I absolutely adore the vintage feel of this high necked piece. It's pretty much just gorgeous for every day and parties as well!


Middle Row


2016 Planner - Oh. My. God. This planner is perfect. Not only is it designed by one of my favourite brands, Rifle Paper Co, but it also is just plain beautiful. I need this planner in my life. NOW. GIVE IT TO ME.


Olympus Pen - Ahh, yes. The Olympus Pen aka the Blogger Camera. To be fair, although it's one of the most cliche blogger purchases of all time, there's no denying it is beautiful and the fact that it can connect to your phone means my Instagram would be on point all the time. #Goals


Peas in a Pod Decoration - If you read my post last year about my Christmas tree, you'll know that I make a habit of collecting Disney themed ornaments. Every year the Disney Store release the most gorgeous collection of ornaments and one of my favourites this year has to be the peas in a pod! They are absolutely adorable and the outside pea-pod is velvet! 


Bottom Row


Dog Blanket - YAY more doggy things! This cute blanket is also from Next's Christmas pet collection (seriously they are killing it this year with adorable pet things) and it has 'Dog Tired' written on it! How flipping cute!


Copper Fox Ornaments - Ahh yes, because Jordan can't go at least one post without something copper popping up. This time, copper takes its form in two little foxes! I absolutely love these and I think they would make a lovely addition to an Autumnal room.


Cupcake Clutch - Let them me eat cake! Recently, Kate Spade collaborated with Magnolia Bakery to bring out an adorable line of sweet as sugar products! My favourite of the bunch has to be this clutch bag that's just the cutest thing I've ever seen! Also if you haven't been to Magnolia Bakery before I highly recommend it.

These Boots Were Made For Walking


Everyone, I think I may have found them. The boots. You know, the ones that you can see yourself wearing to death until the heels have to be replaced? These are those boots. 

Be prepared everyone, I'm about to rant and rave to the point where it may drive you crazy, because, well, I'm obsessed. The absolutely lovely people at Jake Shoes (who I could kiss!) shipped these Ugg ankle boots to my door and I cannot describe how overwhelmingly grateful I am!

Kate Spade Goodies


After winning a £100 Kate Spade voucher in Thank Fifi's giveaway, I took to the website to try and decide on something I'd like to treat myself to. Having been the proud owner of my last purse for over four years, I really felt it was time for a change, and Kate Spade are renowned for their gorgeous accessories!

Brighton Fashion Week

Photo by Dawid Pietraszewski

A few weeks back I did something that made me feel like an actual fashion blogger - I went to a fashion week. Brighton Fashion Week, to be precise! I've heard about Brighton Fashion Week since I moved down to the seaside but I've never had the chance to attend until this year thanks to my friend and head of photography at BFW, Malcolm Tam. In classic Brighton fashion (pardon the pun), the theme was sustainable fashion and all of the designers in the show adhered to one or more of the ethical rules of fashion, making for some very creative and exciting pieces!

The Tea Files - The Savoy


I'm back with another instalment of the legendary Tea Files! Well, not legendary really, but when theres cake involved it usually is to me...

This time, we attended afternoon tea at The Savoy in London, the most beautiful hotel set right in the heart of the Strand. We were originally supposed to have tea somewhere else this day, but upon arrival we had a really bad feeling about it so ended up making a last minute booking at The Savoy, something we did not regret at all.

Flowers for Fall


When you think of flowers, what instantly pops into your mind? Summer? Spring? Well, I know in my case it certainly wasn't Autumn; the season of trees and red leaves. But, Blossoming Gifts who offer flower delivery sent me one of their gorgeous Autumn themed bouquets and my mind has most certainly been changed.

Rose Gold Walking


If you're not aware of my rose gold obsession, all I can really say is 'Where have you been?!' With rose gold and copper metallics being the most 'on-trend' colour of all time at the moment (especially in the blogging community), it does feel a little cliche every time I mention it, but I can't deny my love for the rose gold is stronger than ever.

Jewellery Box Trinkets


Ever since discovering their gorgeous pieces at the Bloggers Festival, I have pretty much fallen head over heels for Jewellerybox.co.uk! Their huge variety of affordable and delicate pieces are simply gorgeous for any occasion and I have to say as a bit of a magpie I'm quite the jewellery hoarder. I've found a new love for layering as well, especially in different colours! So, when the lovely Gemma from JewelleryBox.co.uk got in touch & offered to send me some bits & pieces I couldn't say no.

Two for Autumn


I actually cannot remember the last time I did a beauty post on here! Beauty is funny for me, as it's something I love but it can take a while for me to find a product I'm passionate enough about to write a full on post here. But, lipsticks are always an exception. 

After using up a few of my old lippies, I decided to treat myself to two new shades for the colder seasons, and I have to say I haven't worn anything other than my two choices since I purchased them.

The Showstopper


So a long, long, long time ago now I did this photoshoot that for some reason I never posted the full set of photos for, which is absolutely crazy as it had to be one of my most favourite shoots of all time. And it also features one of the most fabulous dresses that has ever graced my torso. This post may also get a little picture heavy as there were so many fantastic shots!

The Bloggers Blog Awards


On 3rd October, 2015, I caught a train to Victoria and a coach to Leeds to take part in what would ultimately become one of the best days of my entire life. 

If you're a blogger, I'm sure you've heard about a little thing called the Bloggers Blog Awards? Created by Hayley from Tea Party Beauty and in association with Talented Talkers, it's an entirely reader-voted blog awards, one that I was shortlisted in a few months ago. So, along with some of the best bloggers in the entire country I took a journey up North to Lambert's Yard in Leeds.

The Tea Files: Claridges


My, my this is an a long overdue post! For some reason other posts got ahead of it but I have been looking forward to writing about it for a while. As you may or may not know my mama and I have a habit of visiting London hotels for afternoon tea and then we review them here on the blog in The Tea Files series! One place we have wanted to visit for quite a while is Claridge's; a place positively dripping in British tradition and class.

England V Wales


Last Saturday, I really got to tick something very special off of my bucket list. If you're British, I doubt you've missed the fact that the Rugby World Cup has been held in England this year, what with it being all over the TV (including those beautiful animated adverts which don't make me cry at all...). I was lucky enough to be whisked away to Twickenham Stadium for the opportunity to watch the England V. Wales game, including a pass to the VIP lounge!

Cool for the Autumn


When you think of Autumn, you probably think of warm oranges, reds and berry tones, but I do love a good monochrome look. Sometimes you just can't go wrong with a bit of black and white for a cooler, more classic look. 

My favourite dress company Jones and Jones are back with their Autumn/Winter collection and I was so excited to style one of the dresses from the new collection. They sent me the Elsa Ivory dress; a gorgeous, monochrome full peplum style piece that is absolutely perfect for the colder seasons.

A View from the Hill


After our exploration of the beautiful town of Battle, we headed towards Hastings to have a ride on the cliff railways. Despite it being just a short trip along the coastline, I've never been to Hastings Old Town and I was really excited to see what another seaside town had in store for us.

To Battle



Having lived in England my entire life, I think it's really easy to forget how much history we have. I was really excited when Visit 1066 Country got in touch and asked if I'd like to go on a little day trip down the coast to explore Battle and Hastings.

The Bloggers Festival


From the moment I knew they existed, I know I had to attend one of Scarlett London's incredible blogger events. Having missed out on them for god knows how long, I signed up to the mailing list so I was immediately notified of the next event. This was to be the Bloggers Festival, held at The Conrad, St James, London. If you're a long term reader and a fan of afternoon tea, you may remember that I have been their before for their glorious garden tea (which by the way, is pretty lovely). 

I managed to arrive before everyone else (as per usual), so hid in the bathrooms for as long as possible, before attaching myself to a group of well-dressed girls in hats who I assumed were bloggers. I was not wrong and I soon found myself in a hall filled with brands, goodies and of course, bloggers.

Halloween Glow + GIVEAWAY


Anyone who knows me will know that I have a mild candle obsession. And by mild I am greatly under exaggerating. There are at least two candles in every room in my house, and then I have the candle cupboard which is stocked with replacements. There is something I adore about them at all times of year; they make the house smell wonderful, they add a beautiful atmosphere and they just generally make me happy.

Lace & Tulle


Last week I took a trip to London for perhaps the busiest day ever! I cleverly (or so I thought) decided to book everything on the same day so I wouldn't have to make two trips to London. The day began by walking the catwalk in Bloggers Love Fashion Week, before having afternoon tea at Claridges for The Tea Files (coming soon!) and finishing off the day by having a photoshoot with the wonderful Joe Galvin.

The Meat Up


A couple of weeks ago (when the sun was still shining...kind of) I was kindly invited by Asda and Talented Talkers to celebrate National Burger Day at a Brighton Bloggers Meat Up...see what they did there?

We arrived at Brighton station ready to be mysteriously taken on a bus to an unknown location. It had rained earlier in the day and was still a bit chilly, so we wrapped up and all boarded the bus, seriously ready for some food. I had refrained from eating all day so I my stomach was well and truly ready for all the treats that we had in store.

The Bloggers Market


A few weeks back I managed to snag a cheeky Saturday off work to attend the renowned Bloggers Market!

The event took place at the Hoxton Hotel, one of the trendiest and most instagrammable hotels ever.

Interview Styling

job interview clothes hello miss jordan

When it comes to interviews, I'm not one with tons of experience. I got my first job by walking into a restaurant and asking (four times, until they gave me the job) and then my subsequent jobs have been based on experience. But after being in waitressing/catering for over five years now, I have really felt like a change, meaning that interviews are now a very real and unavoidable situation. BUT, there is always a silver lining, which in my case, is dressing for interviews.

Mousehole Mornings


We awoke on our third and final day in beautiful Cornwall with a taste for adventure. We decided to leave the comfort of St Ives and go on a little road trip, visiting some spots a little further south. Ollie had his heart set on the village of Mousehole, which you may recognise from that really heartwarming Nationwide advert where the little boy makes his dad a scarf before he goes off to sea (cue ridiculous sobbing on my part).

Golden Sands


Cornwall is utterly beautiful, so it's no surprise that the summer months bring in the most people. After exploring the beaches in St Ives the day before I knew that they weren't really for me. They were super crowded with deck chairs, umbrellas and of course people, so we asked our hosts at the B&B for a beach recommendation where we could take Oscar. They told us to visit Porthkidney Beach, about a five minute drive from St Ives.

The Mermaid of Zennor


My love for mermaids and mythical creatures is no secret, and one place I have always wanted to visit was the legendary village of Zennor. When I was younger I remember reading books about and based on the legend of the mermaid who stole men away from the village. 

Although I probably wouldn't be that kind of mermaid (I'm all Ariel over here!) I have always been enchanted by the legend. Luckily, St Ives is only a ten minute drive away.

Vote for Me in The #BloggersBlogAwards - Best Up & Coming Fashion Blog

Photography by Martin Brown

*Deep breath* Okay. 

Yesterday, I was shortlisted for the 'Best Up & Coming Fashion Blog' category in the Bloggers Blog Awards! Yep, this means I was voted into the top 5 and I am now in a chance of actually winning in that category. Words cannot describe how I feel right now, but if I had to pick a few they would be overwhelmed, ecstatic and elated.

I can literally not believe it. At the beginning of the year I made a post which listed my goals for 2015, one of which was to be shortlisted in the Cosmo Blog Awards. Obviously, they never happened, which got me down a bit. But then, like a true hero, the lovely Hayley from Tea Party Beauty started her own; the Bloggers Blog Awards. I asked people to nominate me if they enjoyed reading my blog and to be honest I wasn't expecting any nominations, let alone to be shortlisted. 

When it came up on Twitter that I, ME OF ALL PEOPLE, was shortlisted for 'Best Up & Coming Fashion Blog' I actually cried, happy tears of course. It still hasn't sunken in that in October I will be heading up to Leeds to attend the awards. I cannot believe it. I want to scream it from the rooftops because I have never been so happy!

So really, I just want to say a massive thank you. Thank you to anyone who took the time to nominate me it means the entire world that you care so much for me and my little blog. It is an honour to even be shortlisted.

NOW if you want to vote for me you can do so by clicking the link here - http://www.teapartybeauty.com/bloggersblogawards-shortlist/ - every vote is like a giant hug so thank you so much if you pick me! 

Thank you to every single one of you who has stood by me and made Hello Miss Jordan into something I am proud of! I love each and every one of you <3 <3

Sunshine in St Ives


It seems like forever ago since we arrived in sunny St Ives. After a treacherous seven hour drive in the torrential rain from Brighton (in which time we nearly hit a large random object that was lying in the middle of the road!), it seemed the weather was on our side as it turned into the most beautiful day imaginable.

When You Wishlist #2 - Homeware

homeware wishlist panasonic speakers lights doormat print owl candle oliver bonas kitchen aid

Top Row

Biscuit Cushions - Who doesn't love biscuits am I right?! I've been obsessed with these biscuit cushions ever since I first spotted them online and the obsession has not yet died. I do love food shaped home furnishings. 

Wireless Speakers - One little luxury I've always been a fan of is wireless speakers. Having visited a few houses where they have complete surround sound in the living room it's pretty much amazing. Your living room practically becomes a cinema and what more and I know that one day in my own home I would love to have these in my living room (or if I become a miraculous millionaire, my dedicated home cinema!). The Panasonic Technics c700 are some of the highest-resolution audio systems so I think I know which one's I'll be getting! 

Cotton Fairy Lights - I adore Posh Totty shop and these lights are just perfect. The colours are wonderful and neutral enough that they can go in any room. 

Middle Row

Copper and Glass Frame - While we were away in Cornwall my boyfriend bought me one of the most beautiful prints I've ever seen for our anniversary from the Rifle Paper Co. I knew immediately that I wanted a copper glass frame like this one to hang it on the wall and this one is perfect. 

Ampersand Print - If you didn't know already, the lovely Kate from Gh0stparties recently opened a shop on Nouvelle daily hosting all kinds of beautiful goodies. I basically want to raid the entire shop but this print especially caught my eye. I love the marbling, watercolour effect on the symbol and it would look beautiful framed in the home. 

Doormat - I saw this doormat in Cornwall but unfortunately couldn't afford it at the time. As soon as I saw it I knew that I needed it in my home. How can you look at that message without it bringing a smile to your face?

Bottom Row

Owl Candle - Oliver Bonas do some of the best candles and while I was browsing I saw this owl shaped candle. *Heavy breathing* I've got a strange love for owls and anything owl shaped and this is adorable. 

Lamp - Another copper item (are you sensing a theme?), this lamp is pretty much the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen. Plus it reminds me of the Pixar lamp, but a tad more fancy. 

Copper Kitchen Aid - "OH GOD JORDAN STOP WITH THE COPPER ALREADY". NEVER. Yes, it's true. There is now a copper kitchen aid. *More heavy breathing* It is perhaps the most glorious thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

Summer Blues with GANT

gant boyfriend shirt

I've experienced a growing love for shirts this summer. You'll see in my upcoming Cornwall posts one of my new favourites which is blue and white striped, but you can never go wrong with classic white either. But when GANT got in contact and asked how I would style one of their blue boyfriend shirts I was extremely excited to give it a go!

Happiness Boutique

happiness boutique earrings review



Ever since a few years ago I have fallen head over heels for statement earrings. As somebody who didn't get their ears pierced (and rather reluctantly as well!) until the ripe old age of 16, I sometimes find it crazy how I've had a complete turn around of opinion. I was never too fond of the idea of creating a hole in my ear lobe, but as soon as I plucked up the courage to have them done it was goodbye clip ons (do you remember those?!) and hello real-world earrings.

My Fair Lady


As you know, I'm obsessed with musicals. I'm also obsessed with Audrey Hepburn (you can read all about why and see a cheeky makeup tutorial here!). So when New York Dress, who I've been working with on their blog, asked me to create a My Fair Lady inspired shoot, I was over the moon. They asked me to choose a dress I thought captured the classic black and white gown that Eliza Doolittle wears to the racecourse and I think I found the perfect one.

Manfrotto Bloggers Event & Making Friends


A few weeks ago I was invited up to London to spend the day at the Manfrotto Bloggers Event, where we could take a gander at all their fabulous equipment and gain some photography tips. As somebody who is truly as amateur at photography as you can get (I still don't know what half the settings on my camera do), I was really looking forward to hearing some advice from the people who know all about taking fabulous photos. I was even more excited to get to meet some fellow bloggers!
