Behind the Camera

Hi I'm Smidge, Sazzly's sister I don't often do blog posts but I have decided to do one post. I have taken many of Sarah's blog photos and I am now her official blog photographer. 
   Sazzly is the best fashion sister ever she was shopping with me and we passed a charity shop ad she spotted through her fashion eyes a RALPH LAUREN shirt in the window so we entered and found it and saw  it was in my size so we bought it for £13 WOW!!
A bit about me:
I love Olly Murs and my favourite shop is Hollister. I really love animals and sport. I love the colour purple and my favourite book is The Hunger Games.

I am now a member of the EtailPR Blogger Network!!!!!!!

Today I received an email from one of the worlds biggest blogger PR firms to say that I have been accepted into Etail PR!
To some of you I guess this must sound like total nonsense...So I'll explain!!
PR companies like Etail PR are probably the best way to connect bloggers like mine with companies which use the bloggers to advertise products by sending us samples! It's super easy and I am so excited to be a part of it!!
All you do when you get the sample is write a post about it!! So simple!!!!
As a new blogger myself I completely understand how scary these are! If you have any questions or queries then just leave a comment!! 

If you want to have a look at their site click HERE!

SINCE GOOGLE FRIEND CONNECT APPEARS TO BE CLOSING DOWN OR SOMETHING I AM NOW USING GOOGLE+ INSTEAD!! FOLLOW ME IN THE SIDE BAR!!

Last but not least something to entertain people who haven't bothered to read this post!! (I know that will be many people)!

£100 Ted Baker

This whole designers on a budget thing seems to have become rather popular with my friends!! I had a request for something for £100 from Ted Baker... No, more specific than that, a summery dress from Ted Baker!! There was a few (but not loads) out there and I went for this kimono style floral number as my choice which has been reduced from £129 to just £90 in House of Fraser!! A great buy me thinks!! I hope these are giving you all inspiration!! Leave a comment if you want to own something designer on a budget my Cupcakes!!!!!!

£100 Alexander McQueen

Dunno about the rest of you bargain hunters but I found that finding anything McQueen at this price was difficult... But I did it! And I think I did rather well! At exactly £100 this real McQueen t-shirt is stylish and wearable day and night as well as being edgy at the same time!!! Took a lot of searching but think I did rather well!!! It's from www.my-wardrobe.com and I think it is brilliant!!! Anybody else want a designer piece on a budget? Comment below!!

Jack Wills £50

Hello there Cupcakes!! Some of you who have read my blog for a while might have seen my post on designers?? I said that if you gave me a budget within reason I would try my hardest to find the best item/items from that designer within your budget!! 
I've just had a request for something from Jack Wills for £50 and although I wouldn't class Jack Wills strictly as a designer there was absolutely loads for me to choose from!!!!
So with lots of website checking I decided that the best way to spend £50 in Jack Wills was to buy some jeans!! They all appear to be £49.50 or £59.50 so the right kind of price range!!! I love the bright colours and the fit looks really nice!! Any of these below would be a good buy in my eyes!! 
But which is your favourite??
And would anybody like to own their own piece of designer clothing?? Just leave the name of your favourite designer and a reasonable budget below!! I love a challenge!

A Fashion Dilemma

 "So I'm going to a christening and a fancy birthday party! I want an outfit (preferably a dress or a skirt and top combination) which I can wear on both occasions. Don't really want to spent more than £100 but if it's wearable and what I've already got I will spend more!"
OK!! So I asked a bunch of friends if they had any fashion dilemmas I could help solve and this was the first reply!!!!
SO!! Two trend immediately sprung to mind for these two family friendly but obviously still fashion friendly events!! I would go for monochrome minimal or bright florals!!!!
Monochrome minimal first,

Dress with pintucks





















Alright, so this outfit is £89 in total!!! The dress is from Cos for £59!! I think it is great because you have loads of options with it and it is very structured and wearable whilst being still very pretty!! The jacket is from River Island and is £30!! I just think it's the kind of item you cannot possibly go wrong with and would add a lot to the dress!! The oversized style is also very flattering and is lovely to just wear all the time!!!!!!!!! When it comes to shoes, a court shoe would look good, in a block colour!! You can either stick to the monochrome and go for black or white shoes or wear super colourful bright shoes!!!

Yellow Floral Pleat Calf Skirt

This next look is more pretty pretty and is very girly!! In total The outfit is £105 but it includes shoes a skirt and a shirt so I think it's pretty good value!! The blue top is from asos and is £25!! Blue florals are seriously having a moment and I think this is a great example which goes extremely well with these lovely pink studded brogues from Kurt Geiger which are actually on sale for £39!! They are a lovely candy colour and the studs give them a rock edge!! And finally, last but not least,the beautiful lemon skirt from Topshop which is just marvelous!!! I mean yes, £48 but it's so pretty right!!!

Oh and anybody have a fashion dilemma or want a follower on gfc?? Leave a comment!!!
