I'm back from Birmingham after a super busy long weekend! I went to the Clothes Show on the Saturday as you saw in my last post and the day before I went Christmas shopping around the Bull Ring and the Christmas Markets and had a lovely Bratwurst for Brekkie (yeh i took a bite out of the end before takin the pic- not good at the takin pics of food malarky!!) lol

Capes seem to be everywhere this A/W and I really wanted to give them a go after seeing them on the Burberry Catwalk on Cara D and love how many different ways you can wear them. I found this lookey likey Burberry colour block one on SheLikes.com.. Its super snuggley and can be worn just draped over shoulders or belted as I have done here. Think I will also add my initials on there if I can find some iron on patches or something just to give it even more of a Cara D Burberry feel :)

Love, Sarah x

The Clothes Show 2014

If you haven't guessed already from my recent twitter feed & pics - I'm in Birmingham! yayyyy! For Christmas shoppyness and The Clothes Show :) :) I've been wanting to go to The Clothes Show for yeeeears so made sure this year I didn't miss it!

It was amazing! Def thinking of making this a yearly thing up to Brum! the fashion theatre was mind-blowing, and with 4 halls dedicated to fashion & beauty, there was something for everyone - For me I love finding new brands to worship & was urgently in need of some new brands to love & found heaps! so could of easily gone back again tomorrow!

What I wore:

Blue Velvet Mini Dress - Topshop Petite (not on website..may be an Oxford Circus exclusive!)
Floral Lace Tights - Primark

The halls were broken down in to Cheap & Chic, affordable fashion gifts and a model masterclass for those who wanted to learn how to strut their stuff down the runway with Select Model Management.
The Vintage Hall which was my fave place as it made you feel like you were in a 1960s Notting Hill Market and there was so much cool stuff to see including some of my faves from Graduate Asos Marketplace <3 and New Designers Hall was full of your many fav brands and beauty including Rimmel, Saks pamper lounge & designer outlet,

Below are some of my highlights of the day a little pic movie thing of the Fashion theatre- In the FROW! :D If you've never been to The Clothes Show before it is on until Tuesday or make sure you book tickets for next years!

Enjoy :) x
