In The Spotlight: #IJ London

I was lucky enough to be contacted by #IJ London about their personalised clutch bags. For £39 you can get a lovely bag with your name embroidered on the front. It would make a lovely present for someone as its so unique. I've got a real weakness for a good clutch bag so I was so happy when this arrived this week.

I thought it was the perfect bag for the party season, the glittery fabric really stands out and looks an even deeper red in person. The clutch comes complete with a leather handle so you can dance the night away with ease. It's pretty roomy too so you can fit all your party essentials inside - for me that includes more than I actually need (you know what I'm talking about ladies). I plan to team mine up with my new leather shift dress to add a little bit of sparkle to a all black outfit. You can pick yourself, or a friend, one up in black, red or turquoise - whichever you choose I'm sure your bag will become a talking point. No need for introductions....

Event: My Fabb Halo Hair

I was kindly invited down to Fabb Events partner event with Halo Hair. The brand are famous for their 'halo' hair extensions which simply sit around your head on a wire, creating that halo effect.

I've never tried extensions before due to the fact I have such thin hair. I might have a lot of it but it just didn't work out when it came to extensions. I could just imagine my hair blowing in the wind and exposing some unsightly clips. The great thing about halo hair is that you don't have to worry about this. It feels a little weird at first but you soon get used to it!

We were treated to a talk about the brand and then we were left to have a chat amongst ourselves. While this was all going on they had two experts on hand to fit the extensions and style your hair around them. I waited until the very end to get mine done, due to the fact I was busy chatting away to the lovely Ray. You can see Tor getting hers styled in the above picture. I met so many lovely bloggers too, that's why I love going to events like this.

They decided to use Dark brown 2 in 20" on my hair and because it is so long they used 2 Halos. As you can see from the picture above, I was left with amazingly full and thick hair. It really was a transformation. I wore them again for my Christmas party and had so many compliments on my fabulous hair.

The extensions themselves are really easy to put in. Simply slip the halo on your head and pull the wire to your head size - tie it off and cut the wire. Then you can use a comb to pull out your own hair over the top. You can style your hair to how you like it, the 100% Indian Remy human hair means you can apply heat without fear of damaging them. I curled mine which meant they blended in rather nicely. I really do recommend them for anyone that is a extensions newbie like me - give them a try you won't regret it.

What I Wore: Warehouse Playsuit

It's that time of year again where it's time to dust of your dancing shoes for all those party invites and of course you don't want to wear the same dress over and over again. Someone might of already seen you in it? Now while I'm only joking about wearing the same thing twice, I do really like to have something new to wear out every Christmas.

Amazingly Warehouse came to my rescue and sent me this rather lovely playsuit with lace detail. I don't own many playsuits and the ones I do have are more suitable for a warmer climate. I really loved the detail on the sleeves and that you are showing a little bit of skin but it isn't too much. The collar is a nice additional detail too. I hope you can see the detail from the picture, I didn't take the big camera out with me so the iPhone had to suffice.

I wore this on Friday night to works Christmas party. I teamed it up with these thigh high boots from Topshop. I hardly ever wear them and thought this was the perfect opportunity to break them out again. I finished off the look with this ponyskin leopard print bag from La Redoute, it was the perfect size for all my essentials. I have my new Halo hair extensions in here too but I'll be doing a post dedicated to those soon. 

Review: Ann Summers A Fit to Flaunt

Ann Summers isn't somewhere I would normally think to visit to buy my underwear. I guess it has certain connotations because as a teenager we used go in and giggle at what they were selling upstairs. 

I was asked down to try out 'A Fit and Flaunt' service - they aim to find the right bra for you with three simple steps. Step one is feel the band, is it giving you the right support? If you can fit two fingers under the fastening you have a perfect fit. 

Step two check your straps, do they feel comfortable and they sit evenly on your shoulders? Step three check your cups, are they smooth and is there zero chance of the dreaded 'four boob syndrome.' 

After the member of staff had checked all these things she actually got me to try a size I wouldn't of even thought of and it fit perfectly. 

I went for the Pure Lace Electric Purple Plunge Bra and the matching Brazilian pants. I was really drawn to this set because of the colour. I don't have any purple sets in my Lingerie drawer. It's a great fit and it's one of those sets that makes you feel really special when you are wearing it. I'd really recommend popping in if you ca, like me you'll be pleasantly surprised.
