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.

Joe Ottoway & Craig McGinlay - Rosewood Hotel

On the back of Scottish Fashion Awards, Craig McGinlay invited me down to blog and interview himself and Joe Ottoway for a fashion shoot they were collaborating on at The Rosewood Hotel, London.

I had one day off so had to fly down early morning and back again that night, but hey I got to hang with a gorgeous model and stylist for the day! The tiredness was worth it!

Catch my story and video interview on The Swag Guide.

While catching up on New York fashion week, it was apparent there was a new footwear of choice for all the lovies floating around fashion week. It was the now Gucci sold out loafer, did you catch them?

I'm really on the fence, when I say on the fence I am actually just standing beside it. I really don't think they are for me. Usually even when something is not my style I can appreciate them, but these loafers, meh! They look like slippers and not really in a good way!

I'm unsure if replicated for the high street they would really catch on. Damn it of they do!

Well if these furry numbers are your bag, then they will cost you £650, but you're going to have to join the wait list queue, so better head back to our home page for the latest Swag news in the mean time x

Scottish Fashion Awards, Corintian Hotel, London

Well the last month has been a crazy but fun little ride for little ol me!

I was lucky enough to attend the Scottish Fashion Awards were I interviewed the lovely boys from "The Vamps" where they inducted the Lovely Miss Kelly Bakewell into the band! Also caought up with Model turned Actor Craig McGinlay, Singer Talia Storm and Photographer Davice Eustace.
It was  a great night full of gorgeous cocktail s, canapes and dancing!

Myself and karlie had an early flight next day , so we dipped out and left the delectable Miss Kelly Bakewell spinning on the dance floor to her gathered crowd of male admirers!
I did however mange a good old 'McVitie' photobomb (left) of Karlie and Stewart Brydon! YESSS!

Did you catch any of my interviews for The Swag Guide YouTube Chanel?

Style Seekers- Walk of Shame

Had a total blast with Miss Kelly Bakewell , Karlie and James filming our spoof 'Walk of Shame' Style video.

We all played a little part on being caught on shameful walk home from the night before.

I managed to scoop myself into an old sequin dress I have been hording ( I will diet!!) , bought from a charity shop for £5, think it worked well for my just been out clubbing look?
