July has been such a busy month, what with jetting off to Benicassim and Fabulous magazine whilst interning and working in my pub, so with regards to my CAGECITY ootd's I am very sorry and I will now get back on track with them.

 

This week has been a very busy week at CAGECITY indeed and newness hit the office in terms of models, bloggers, samples and handmade, basically everything just got crazy!

So here's what I wore for these crazy ass days. What with this sun we've been having and the slight tan I have at the moment, on Friday I whipped out my legs in this black lace skirt. Feeling quite wintery though I decided to don it with a yellow floral spaghetti strap top to brighten up my look and of course teamed it with my trusty gold bar belt. Paired with a pair of strappy black sandals and my new gold ankle cuffs which are my bargain of the month for roughly £2.50 I was good and summery to go. These ankle cuffs are brilliant, I first spotted them on Hannah Crosskey blogger for aredlipneverdates.blogspot.co.uk and found them so unique and they completely transformed a lack lustre shoe.

 

For our Sunday Shoot seen in my previous post, I decided to bare the mid-drift courtesy of my tanned stomach, but due to bloating I quickly grabbed on a pair of high-waisted black shorts to create a twin-set kind of feel. With the sun shining and not feeling like being the woman in black I added my new white tassel waistcoat. I spotted this for only £8 in the New Look sale and had to have it, it's a great twist to any summer outfit and what with the statement detail and tassels you can definitely jazz up and outfit with this which is perfect for when your feeling lazy but not so perfect when you trapped in things due to the tassels being quite long.

Company Blogging Forum 2013

Leather Jacket: PRIMARK
Top: H&M
Trousers: FOREVER 21
Shoes: RIVER ISLAND
Necklace: TOPSHOP

As I am an avid reader of Company Magazine and literally get so excited for the drop of the magazine on my front door mat every month I decided to quickly grab myself a ticket to Company's Blogging Forum held at Kings College London.
 

I've been blogging for quite a few months now but still haven't quite mastered it and I thought whats better than actually being advised by the professionals in the industry into help making my blog better. My answer to that is absolutely nothing. With a panel consisting of Editor of Company Magazine Victoria White, Susie Lau aka Susie Bubble aka Style Bubble, Rhannion blogger for Fashion Rocks my Socks, Rox from Boohoo, Krista from Handpicked Media and Sally from Oh my Love I was definitely in for some good advice.

 

On arrival I was a nervous wreck considering I was by myself and thought I was going to be late after trekking it round London Bridge asking anybody and everybody where the hell the college was ( I even followed some girl because she looked fashionable and thought she might be going there too and turns out she did haha.) Nerves quickly went away when I started talking to the lovely blogger Siobhan from Ireland. We both quickly nabbed ourselves a glass of rose and wondered around the room looking at all the other eager bloggers (it was so lovely being in a room where everybody shares an interest in something and is keen to learn more.) Me and Siobhan didn't get to stand around for long before we met the lovely Natalie from Company Magazine and were whisked away outside to be shot for Company Street Style. The Fashion Team were so lovely and down to earth and me and one of the ladies even shared a common interest in buckled healed sandals. (We shared the blister stories too as we both had plasters at the ready.)

After the meet and great we entered the lecture theatre for an inspirational talk and a fab goodie bag topped off the excitement. Goodie bag exploring over and lusting over our Alice Temperly Filofax's , such wise words floated around the room and made me so eager to make my blog even better. It really helped me have someone who is actually in the industry tell me the best ways to blog, I know it seems like common sense with somethings but so many mistakes can be made and it has really helped me and given me confidence in my blogging.

Something that really stood out to me was from Sally for Oh My Love London "it's not necessarily about your follower numbers, it's more about how engaged your followers are". I may not have an amazing following but I hope that you enjoy my long rambles as much as I enjoy writing them.

Overall, it was a great night and even better that I got to personally meet Susie Lau who is such a great inspiration to me with my writing and journalistic skills.

Thank you Company magazine for supporting bloggers so much, you give so many opportunities to help people aspiring to thrive in the industry and it doesn't go unnoticed and thank you again for an amazing night. I better go get my blog on now haha!

Another two days at CAGECITY, another two outfits. Here is what I wore this week. I've been completely mixed up this week regarding weather and fashion what with the muggy weather we've been having. Exposing my ghostly pale legs was too much considering the forecast rain so I decided to don a pair of my summer trousers. I love these trousers, I bought them last year from H&M and I say they are my summer trousers but you can catch me wearing them in the winter with a thick black jumper. They are just so easy to wear especially paired with a plain top, they simply do the styling for you what with there bold floral print.

Even more grey clouds in the morning yesterday called for another fashion meltdown. Clothes everywhere, hot flushes were in fall swing but I finally just pulled on my trusty pair of high waisted black skinny jeans from Dorothy Perkins and my stripy monochrome t-shirt from H&M. Comfort at it's finest. Also I wore the same sandals on both days as they are literally my style savours at the moment, they are my white strap and buckled sandals from Primark, nothing sounds better then a Primark style bargain does it. Sometimes sandals really rub my feet or break, being Primark ones too I thought they most definitely would but I can honestly say that these sandals are rub free and seem to be very sturdy considering I wear them 24/7.

 

Enough about my outfits and moving into the serious business of work. Again this week at CAGECITY I've been in contact with some great bloggers which we are looking to collaborate with I can't wait to meet them they seem so lovely. Also I have been tweeting my little ass off and blogging blogging blogging. Check out my latest posts here for CAGECITY: end of exam style saviours and some Friday loving.

 

I have got to say if you are desperate for the killer unique post exam party dress I would definitely recommend this Finders Keepers 'You sent me T-shirt Dress' I've had my eye on it for far too long and it just teases me in the office with it's beautifulness.

 

Hope you've all had a great week and will have an even better weekend.

 

 

 

Cagecity Internship

This week has been so hectic- boyfriend coming back from Uni and getting ready to start my internship as Cagecity's blogger. I've undergone many work experiences before but have got to say I felt so welcome at Cagecity and I've only been there two days. Internships always get bad publicity, the stereotypical view of you will be the companies skivvy but I can honestly say Cagecity have made me feel so involved in their new brand and whats more exciting is I'm there when Cagecity are at the beginning and it will be so lovely to see them grow into something big. From writing blog posts to researching fashion bloggers to collaborate with the online site I've never felt so inspired.

 

When I take on work experience in the fashion industry, I don't know about you but I always stress over what I'm going to wear to work, for instance is what I'm wearing fashionable enough? Is it suitable for work? Will they like what I'm wearing? It's just that thing with fashion it comes with set judgements but here at Cagecity I've never felt so relaxed about my style. Cagecity's ethos is to not take yourself too seriously with fashion- don't be a slave to it, just have fun and be yourself. There's no threatening elitist fashion atmosphere, Cagecity is just a down to earth, hard working company that is definitely going places.

 

So after my two very first inspiring days at Cagecity I can't wait to get back to work next week.

 

Check out Cagecity's site here, you'll find some wicked clothes and its just been payday, so go spoil yourself:  http://www.dresscagecity.com/index.php

Bank Holiday Monday- Outfit of the day

Did I seriously agree to work on Bank Holiday weekend? Yes, yes I did, idiot over here agreed to cleaning the pub I work in for three days, really I should have taken into consideration that I would be hungover on the Monday due to celebrating my friends 18th the night before but it looks like I chose money over sleep. So what with the past three days consisting of me smelling like antibacterial spray and bleach from scrubbing the drunk infused toilets, my Mum and Dad surprised me with a trip out in the glorious sunshine to the pub around the corner finally a bit of bank holiday relief. What with the miraculous sun I couldn't help but don a yellow scarf to cheer me up and put me in the summer mood ( I told you my addiction to the colour yellow is getting slightly out of hand) and not forgetting my new fantastic Topshop purchase- my daisy necklace which I'm in love with and hardly ever remove. Here's my Bank Holiday Monday outfit of the day

Saving your pennies in Primark

Most criticized high street shop, the one shop which people say that they wouldn't be caught shopping in but yet everyone owns something from Primark whether it is underwear or a coat. So why is everyone always so critical of Primark? Is it the cheap quality or price that people find themselves turning their noses up? However, everybody loves a bargain. Whether its high end or high street if it's a decent item at a decent price then you can't go wrong. People need to focus less on the brand and more on what the item of clothing actually is. You can go to Topshop and buy the same necklace which would be in Primark for £10 less just because you don't want to be associated with Primark. It's not fear of fashion, it's fear of judgement. Open your eyes and take a look because the shop that you may all shy away from is actually similar to all the other shops. Forget about the connotations and run with an open mind, you may just find yourself saving a lot of money.

What do you all think of Primark?
