I was sent these hairbands by the lovely Holly from Briar Rose. I didn't really know what to expect as the company started by making hairbands for babies and toddlers. You can see on the Facebook page some gorgeous photos of her daughter modelling some very sweet hairbands. It was of course a genius idea to start making adult versions of these hairbands; everyone loves a big bow!  

Sometimes I wake up and have no idea what to wear. This time, I literally grabbed the first few things I could see in my wardrobe...and this happened. I quite like it! 

I have had a pair of leggings from H&M for about a year now, which have a leather patch over the knees. I absolutely love them and think that they instantly make an outfit so much more interesting. When I saw these leggings with a leather strip all the way down the sides, I knew I had to have them. They are (of course) from Topshop and were (of course) overpriced. What I like about them is that they are really long and they are quite thick, so they will last me through the A/W. 

An Urban Outfitters dress, an amazing Mexican meal at Wahaca and some fun times at my local fair. Shame the weather this weekend hasn't been great, but I still love having three days off! 

I found out today that I have been shortlisted for the Look competition along with 19 other bloggers. Thank you so much to everyone who read my entry and wished me good luck. I am very very happy and hope I get through to the final 5 next Tuesday! There was a massive hype around this and the suspense today was insane. Now another week of waiting, but I am so happy just to be shortlisted! I am really glad you all liked my post - it was really fun to make. 

Loving this little blue dress I bought before holiday. It is really sheer and so I have to wear something underneath, but I love the colour and the way it is cut. It is longer at the back, which is something I always like! 

The Forever 21 store on Bond Street opened whilst I was away in Israel and so the first thing I wanted to do when I came back was to visit the new store! I've been to Forever 21 loads in the States and have also been to the one in Birmingham. I've always loved the layout of the store... really bright and spacious! It feels very American, which I love. The only problem is, I think they should be called Forever 15. The clothes are very young! It is great value as the prices are as low as H&M and New Look, but the quality of the clothing is as good as Topshop and some of the higher end high street stores. I looked around the whole store, all three floors and left with some pyjama shorts and a striped tee (because I really needed another one to add to my obscene collection).

I saw these in the Oxford Circus branch when they first came out and thought they were amazing. I thought I'd think about it and come back and try them on. Next thing I know, Lily writes about them and as usual, they are sold out everywhere! Nightmare! As soon as something is sold out I always want them even more. I finally found a pair in Brent Cross. The last pair available and in my size... fate! I wore these for the first time yesterday and I wouldn't recommend them for lots of walking. I have blisters everywhere, but I still love them. 

So this is my Look magazine 'bloggers competition' entry. I would love the chance to sit front row at the A/W Look Show and blog about the fabulous clothes on show.
