Hello my dears!

You know I’ve always seen blogging style challenges and envied everyone’s productivity. I never joined up because I can be so slack with updating that I assumed I’d let everyone down. However, I was invited to do a one off with bloggers I really love: Em, Georgina, Wendy and Amy to see how we could style one of the new Project D London dresses. How could I say no?

I’d actually taken a peek at the collection last year, as at the first Simply Be meeting they showed us pieces asking for our opinions. They kept the bit about it being by Dannii Minogue quiet, though! I bloody love the Minogue sisters, so I feel a bit starstruck wearing it.

I actually really love a lot of pieces from the collection, including this – the Liberty and Madison ones, especially. People have talked about the price points being high, but when I got the Carnegie you could tell the quality was on a different scale. It’s made SO well.

That said, I’m sad to say these shots have me a little disappointed. Not the dress, not the photographs (they look all shiny because they’re from my new camera!), but that my stylings don’t pop as much as I’d hoped. I wanted to wear bright, even neon accessories but they’ve kinda disappeared. Ah well, you live and learn. I’m sure the other women will come up with amazing versions!
