Party Like We Were Famous: Company MusicParty! @Rimmellondonuk #risingstars



I think I’m getting ahead of myself in the ‘cool’ department, I’m almost developing a swagger. On Wednesday night I once again made my way to East London for another Company Magazine party and this one was a corker! In association with Rimmel London, Company threw a bash in support of the music industries rising stars. Held in the super hip Queen of Hoxton bar where we sipped on various fruity concoctions and took photos in the photo booth.

Dress: Miss Guided
Bag: Coach
Shoes: Dorothy Perkins

We were treated to a little bit of pampering with glorious summer manis from Rimmel London and sleek hair dos by the creative kids at Blown Avenue – you can see what fabulous creation they gave me below.

The sun was shining and we headed up to the quirky roof top bar for some Pimms and meaty treats. I highly recommend the prawns on a stick, fishly delicious! After my belly was full and the alcohol was being absorbed I fancied getting a pretty Henna tattoo by Dina’s Mehndi and proceeded to walk around the party with an awkwardly held hand - looks good though!

The #risingstars of the evening were Rainy Milo and Laurel. Sadly I missed Rainy’s performance because of the BBQ happening upstairs but from the cheers I heard I would say she was pretty good. I did manage to see Laurel, apart from telling people to quit talking when she was singing (which was pretty hilarious) her voice is something I haven’t heard for a while. Her voice is beautifully haunting and soulful, you wouldn’t expect it of her young girlish exterior. However, I am so pleased she is now on my radar and I really think you should all go and listen to her. Dat girl gonna be big yall!

And so home to bed I went, weighed down with a decent goody bag and and new tunes in my head.

What bands do you recommend?

Stay beautiful!

A Day at the Races: Royal Ascot 2014



The sun was shining, the fizz was on ice and ladies in their best dress, men donning top hats all packed onto busy trains for a day at the Royal Ascot races.


This year was my first time at Royal Ascot and the anticipation and excitement meant I had sorted my outfit over a month in advance. Unfortunately, buying it from a large online retailer meant I saw many other girls tottering around in my dress. I would like to think I wore it better ;). 


Fascinator: Accessorize
Dress: Miss Guided
Shoes: Dorothy Perkins



If you are thinking of going next year I really can’t recommend it enough, especially on a wonderfully sunny day with a group of friends. We took a little picnic, of which I had one sandwich – possibly why I was a little worse for wear by 4pm! But if, like me, you drink your fizz supply dry there is a very reasonable bottle of Prosecco offered at the Ascot bar for a reasonable £20.00. Over all it was fantastic and a great excuse to get all dressed up and a reason to wear a fascinator! 

Did you go to Royal Ascot this year?


Stay beautiful!
