Outfit of the day | Missguided co-ord

When I was looking for an outfit for the #BloggersBlogAwards I knew I wanted something which would see myself through from a day time event to the evening. Whilst I'm not saying this is typical day time dressing, I simply fell in love with this buckle detail cropped top and cigarette pants co-ord from Missguided and knew I had to have it. Plus the best thing with buying a co-ord outfit is I can mix and match the top and trousers for future looks. 

The bloggers awards were held at the gorgeous event space at Lamberts Yard in Leeds. Which as Laura found out, also has the perfect corridor with the best light ever for a cheeky #ootd photo shoot. . I'll be posting about the awards soon so stay tuned. 

Co-ord set - Missguided

Shoes - New Look

Dressing for autumn

The leaves are falling from the trees, the dark nights are drawing in earlier and the clocks are soon to go back. Yet amongst the cold dark nights during autumn come the spectacular bonfires, late night shopping (Christmas lights been switch on!) and a chance to pull out your pre-loved favourite winter coats and autumnal accessories. 

Personally for me dressing for autumn is a mix of learning how to make my summer clothes warmer and digging out the previous years winter clothes. It's not quite time for a new winter shop and it always feels as if I've not quite got full use from my summer wardrobe, in fact does anyone make full use of their summer wardrobe here in the UK? Hence the mix match style, which can work quite well with a little thought.

Although the photos aren't great (we all know the struggle with limited natural light) this outfit perfectly sums up autumn dressing for myself. A summer skirt paired with a long sleeve tshirt, summer converse and warm black tights and a chance to dig out my old winter cape. Of course I teamed the outfit with my favourite new leather satchel and berry coloured lipstick which I feels ties the look together perfectly.

VQ Leeds Fashion Week

So last week me a Kerys had been lucky little bloggers and was been invited to a few of the Leeds Fashion Week events. The first of these events was a catwalk fashion show held at the Victoria Quarter in Leeds. For all of you who don't know Leeds, the Victoria Quarter is where all the higher end high street shops are which the catwalk featured new A/W13 collections from.

Upon arrival we were treated to champagne and canopies courtesy of The Living Room and 
Gaucho and one very confused photographer asked if we were the models. I think that secretly made us both very chuffed though as the photographer took our picture anyway so we felt like little celebs for a moment. After I took my head out of the clouds the show began. 

I had never been to any sort of fashion show so this was a brilliant treat. Hearing the music start as the models began strutting down the catwalk was amazing and I defiantly have my eye on a few new pieces to add to my wardrobe. Mostly this dress by AQ/AQ

Big thank you to RM-UK for the invite, who also styled all the hair for the models. The photos don't do their gorgeous locks justice. 

Have you been to a fashion show?

Introductions

So i guess if this is the first entry in the blog that is LittleBlondeLife i should give you a quick introduction to myself. I'm Sammie i'm currently 21 and live in the city of Leeds. I currently don't have much idea as to what personality my blog will take on but i'm already getting excited thinking of ideas to blog about. Been the carefree age of 21 i'm often reminded these should be the best days of my life although it certainly doesn't always feel that way, so i thought i would blog these so-called "best days". The main topics of my blog can expected to be adventure, fashion, food, music and my thoughts on life.

I'm no journalist or photographer, I don't own a dlsr camera or have someone following me about at hand to take my photograph. my aim is to produce a simple blog for everyone to enjoy.
