    Size Matters

    Edited by: Emily of Sugar & Spice Well, IFB have certainly started something: a debate on the internetz about size and how it matters – or not – in blogging and, more importantly, whether it should matter. This week’s post reflect this discussion and put forward some compelling and eloquently written arguments. Make sure to read and digest these posts and hopefully come back next week with your own responses and contributions? Here in the UK it’s nearly the last Bank Holiday weekend of the summer which can only mean one thing: Autumn’s around the corner – and the IFB Conference. Clearly a lot of this week’s bloggers have next season on their mind as they have been writing about their favourite trends for the new season. And if you’re attending the IFBCon next month, make sure to check out the packing guides below:

  • Fashion’s Night Out 2012 music video

    It’s that time of year again! Fashion’s Night Out has arguably become one of the biggest events in the sartorial calender. This year FNO is well and truly global with events on nearly every single continent in the some of most stylish cities in the world.
    Last year, FNO released a music video to promote the night featuring the cast of Glee interpreting Bowie’s ‘Fashion’ with Lea Michele on lead vocals. As a Glee fan I loved last year’s video, and as a proud supporter of Team Starkid it’s great to see Darren Criss heading up lead vocals on Madonna’s ‘Dress You Up’ with an all star cast of celebs making appearances. The cameos range from Alexander Wang to Taylor Swift, Karlie Kloss to Olivia Wilde, Coco Rocha to Usher, even a certain Ms Victoria Beckham makes an appearance. The video also showcases the charity t-shirt that will be sold at the New York night. 
    As a Darren fan and a fashion blogger this video is just perfection for me. 


    Will any of you be heading down to any of the events this year? Or just watching from afar?


    Keep on wishing…

  • Haul | Zara Leather Sling-backs

    [Black sling-back heels, Zara, £19.99]

    You know those days when just happen to be browsing your favourite shopping website and you stumble upon a bargain so good that you have to snap it up?
    Well this was one of those bargains.
    I’m completely guilty of browsing the Zara website at inappropriate hours of the morning. So when I clicked on the Sale section a few weeks ago, you can imagine my surprise when I found these. I’ve been on the hunt for work shoes since starting my placement and while I do have a few decent pairs already, I kind of wanted to collect a few pairs that would last and be kept for days when I felt like I needed to be a bit smarter. Made of goat’s leather with pretty gold detailing these lovely sling-backs stood around the £40/50 mark before they were reduced to just £19.99! Wonderful bargain and comfy too. 
    I just need to make sure this not so wonderful British weather doesn’t damage them. 

    Keep on wishing…
