Photos, Food and Fashion at the SS12 Blogger Preview Event

By Rochelle Symons in Exclusive, News, Womenswear on Thursday 24th November, 2011

On Tuesday this week, we donned our gladrags and headed to the Oxo Tower on the South Bank to give some of our favourite bloggers a sneak peek at the F&F Spring Summer 2012 collection. The night was a roaring success – everyone was thrilled to see the gorgeous new pieces that will be available early next year, and we all got into the party vibe with cupcakes, canapés, champagne, beautiful nail art courtesy of WAH nails, and posing that even Madonna would be proud of in the photobooth!

The new collection looked fabulous, with stunning prints, striking colours and statement pieces that we can’t wait to get our hands on! We gave each of our guests a heart shaped tag to hang on their favourite item in the collection – it was a tough choice, but it was great to see the variety of items being picked.

The lovely Tor from Fab Frocks chose a fabulous red number, whilst Lizzy from Scientist Chic went for a cream lace dress. Sarah from EssBeeVee filled hers in sporting a funky polka dot manicure and Clara from Clazzerati chose a stripey tube skirt. We’ll be sharing more favourite blogger pieces over the next few weeks, so stay tuned to see the hottest items from the collection!

 

 

Of course, all this browsing was very exhausting, so we rewarded our hard-working bloggers with some very yummy cupcakes, courtesy of Brown Sugar Cupcakes – yum! The wonderful ladies from WAH nails were also on hand to pamper our guests with some glam manicures.

 

 

Sherin from Hi Fashion showed off her gorgeous coral and polka dot manicure on Twitter, and Florrie from Intrinsically Florrie rocked her pink glitter and rose manicure. Huge thanks to the WAH nails team for taking part and doing such a fabulous job!

 

 

The highlight of the night had to be the photobooth, courtesy of Say Fromage!, which provided an endless source of amusement for us all! There were some fabulous mugshots featuring wigs, Santa hats and fake flamingos – check out the gallery to see them all. Our favourites have to be this fabulous one of Amy from Wolf Whistle being a little star, Clare from Rainbows and Fairydust rocking the pink hair and Laura from That’s So Yesterday showing us her maraccas!

 

Thank you so much to everybody who came – we couldn’t have done it without you! And if you too want a sneak peak at the collection before it hits stores and our website early next year, keep an eye out for the SS12 lookbook, which we’ll be posting here very soon.

Blogger’s On Trend Staples for AW11

By Rochelle Symons in London Fashion Week, London Fashion Week Interviews, Top Picks, Trends on Wednesday 21st September, 2011

With trends in the Fashion world moving so quickly, it can sometimes be hard to keep up! However, it’s always important to have a few key items that remain bang on trend, but versatile enough to work with for most occasions. At London Fashion Week, we caught up with some of our favourite bloggers, and they left us with a few hints and tips with what on trend items to invest in this season!

What is your on trend staple for AW11? Be sure to let us know in the comments below!

 

Fab Frocks

F&F Faux Fur Collar Textured Coat – £50

“Everyone needs a great coat in their wardrobes for winter, and I think this one is perfect. It has a great on-trend vintage feel, and it’s so versatile. It would look amazing with jeans and boots for the weekend, or over flippy tea dresses for the office. The nipped in waist is perfect for curves. I would throw this over my favourite vintage floral frock and add a chunky knit scarf: perfect snuggly winterwear!”

Hi Fashion

F&F Brogue Worker Boot

F&F Brogue Worker Boot – £19.50

“Military pieces, such as jackets and trousers, are definitely on trend this season, so adding a pair of military boots to any look is bound to be stylish. Boots are a must for the winter and these are perfect as they look warm, and the buckles on the side add a nice finishing touch to them.

 

There are two ways I would wear these boots. Firstly, I would tuck pair of jeans into them and then add a plain top or t-shirt. To finish the look, I would wear a cropped or leather jacket to give it the full military vibe. I would also pair them with a pretty dress to give the look a bit of edge and make it stand out.”

 

Gem Fetale

F&F Limited Edition Faux Fur Collar Biker Jacket

F&F Limited Edition Faux Fur Biker Jacket – £35

“My on trend staple from F&F this season is the faux fur collar biker jacket. Fur-collared biker jackets were huge on the Loewe catwalk and are the perfect way to keep warm whilst looking cool in tricky A/W weather! I like layering biker jackets over girly dresses to toughen up the look (and confuse my boyfriend). “

Jazzabelle’s Diary

F&F Floppy Hat

F&F Floppy Hat – £12

“My current staple item is most definitely a floppy hat, it’s the perfect Autumn/Winter accessory and just makes even the most plain of outfits a little more special. Plus, it will last you all the way through until Spring/Summer, so it’s quite the investment piece! 

I tend to wear mine with a chiffon maxi skirt, buttoned up shirt and a chunky knit cardigan for a vintage inspired look, but floppy hats look just as lovely simply teamed with a pair of skinny jeans and a baggy jumper.”
