Winter Never Looked So Good With River Island!

Afternoon Lovelies! 

I have long been a fan of River Island and the stores ability to flawlessly create incredibly on-trend pieces season after season, so when I was approached by them to write this piece to highlight their current seasons trends, I was extremely flattered to say the least!

To celebrate the brand new Autumn/Winter 2011 Collections, River Island are offering 5 dedicated fans and followers of it's Facebook Page the chance to win all of the 9 items hidden within the postcard relating to the 'Hustle' trend simply by entering their fun 'Postcards from the Past' competition!

The 'Hustle' trend it's self, is a modern chic homage to the seventies! The trend includes all things glamorous; Faux furs, sheer chiffons along with rich colours and killer heels!

I was lucky enough to be given a pair of delicious wedges from the trend to share with you all and show you just how perfect this trend is for the upcoming Christmas period!

Aren't they just beauties!

The wedges are super comfy, make my legs look super long and are going to be amazing for glitzing up my Christmas party outfits! I plan on wearing them with an obligatory LBD over the festive season..

I think after some deliberation I may also treat myself to this gorgeous clutch, also by River Island to wear with them! - Keep your eyes peeled for an OOTN very soon!

To enter the competition all you have to do is take a hop, skip and jump over to www.facebook.com/riverisland and click on the 'Postcards from the Past' app.. This will take you to an image not too dissimilar to this...

Within the postcard will be hidden 9 items from the 'Hustle' trend which you need to find! Once all are found you will then be entered into the competition to be in with the chance of winning every piece you found within the postcard!

It really is a fun and fantastically generous competition from River Island! If you haven't already entered, what are you waiting for?!

What are your thoughts on River Island for the party season? Do you have you eye on anything in particular?

The Elle 7 Decades of Beauty Competition...

As we all know, No 7 recently launched it's '7 Decades' collection to celebrate 75 years of their now iconic brand. 

As I was flicking through this months Elle, I was drawn to a competition which the magazine is holding in conjunction with No 7. Each decade, from the Forties to the Noughties has been represented beautifully with its own 'mini-collection' and iconic looks created for each decade in question. These ones below, being for the 1940's (Classic Glam) and 1960's (Graphic Charm)...

So here's what Elle say... 

"Showcase your own make-up - Are you a whiz with a make-up brush and enjoy creating new looks? By taking inspiration from the seven iconic looks created using the No7 Decades Collection, we want you to send in your own make-up creation. Seven winners will appear in a future issue of ELLE magazine and on elleuk.com and each receive the entire No7 Decades Collection (that’s 21 fabulous limited-edition pieces!). So get creating."

The Competition is open until the 2nd of July and all entries can be done online via the Elle Website

When I saw this, I just thought it would be a great opportunity for you girlies to get out there, create some fabulous looks and hopeful get the recognition you deserve :) 

I'm not quite sure which decade I'm going to attempt, but I'm off now to have a bit of a play about & see which one intrigues me the most! 

Hope you find this useful and some of you apply!

Would be great to see your pretty faces up on the Elle website and possibly in a future edition of Elle Magazine (How exciting is that possibility please?!?) hehe
