Dreamingless Magazine - Candy Boss

Well I could just pee my pants! 
We made it to Dreamingless Magazine.

Novembers theme was the 'Barbie - Oh So Pink Issue'
The location chosen was House of an Art lover in Glasgow, and what a gorgeous setting. I arrived very late! A little mixed up and a confused taxi cab man aside, I was in awe of the grounds as we pulled up. Unfortunately I didn't get to spend time looking around, but I am for sure going to go back.
The shot to the left was my ultimate favourite, but to be honest it was tough to choose out of all the amazing images (There was lots!) 
Collectively we whittled them down to 20 and submitted to Dreamingless and we were accepted!

Thanks for the opportunity to work with all the lovely talented people on this shoot and I hope to work with you all again very soon!

OOTD - Tuesday 3rd November

Well after a mild weekend, the autumn/ winter weather has definitely kicked in!  I woke up today in Glasgow. Looking out my window at The Crown Plaza Hotel, there was a mist over the Clyde. It is fricking cold today!

I am prepared though!*smugface* After my month long sober streak I have lost some unwanted weight. Thankfully in time to fit into all my glorious winter clothes!  Winning!

Today's outfit comprises of a mix of vintage and new.
I spent the last four years on and off in New York and love the thrift shops out there. My favourite store is The Salvation Army Warehouse which is tucked away in in Bedstuy, Brooklyn.  I found these gorgeous DKNY high waist loose pants, which are so comfy, and have enough room to tuck my H&M basics sweater (£9.99) in, adding my vintage Kangol Hat (£12.99) and Brooklyn Market lace ups ($10).

My cropped vintage style Motel jacket I found on Ebay for 99p and I have saftey pinned my faux fur scarf to it (so it stays in the right place). Love a safety pin.. Have you seen my Top tips videos? on my YouTube channel, be sure to check them out...

Balmain x H&M - full collection

Well never have I been more excited for an H&M collaboration than this one!

Balmain for H&M will be hitting the shop floors this Friday and I for one predict a RIOT!

Creative director Oliver Rousteing who took over Balmain 4 years ago at the tender age of 25, yes Twenty goddamn five! Has managed to bring Balmain to the fore front of every woman fashion wish list . Wowzers what an inspiration to all you young fashionistas right?

Reading his interview in Dazed and Confused Oliver states  "If you want people to feel good in your clothes, you have to feel good creating your clothes" "My work days are dreamy days. For me, the essence of Balmain is happiness." Well hes one lucky guy who gets to go in everyday to work and create beautiful dresses for woman who adore his designs.

Reading his interview in Style magazine Oliver the prices for the Balmain pieces "are not a price everybody will be thrilled about" but as he carries on to say " its not the normal fashion you expect from H&M"

Personally I would have to agree, but cant quite fully commit until I see and touch the quality of the clothing myself.

With dress prices starting from £119.00 ( the green Sequin dress) climbing to £399.99 for the embellished dress, we hope this must anticipated collection everything a girl could wish for and more from Balmain.
