Competition Time, An Update On My Wallis Styling Session & WIWT

So just over a couple of weeks ago I was all in a dilemma about what I was going to wear (see here) for a very exciting day with Wallis as I'd been invited to style & model some of their latest collection.

Well today I can share with you the some of the pictures that were taken on the day & the three outfits  I styled together with an amazing competition....more details of which I'll share in a minute!

Each outfit I absolutely love & would quite happily wear on a daily basis, so without further ado here's what I pulled together starting with this gorgeous black cross over jumpsuit.

Having found my strapless jumpsuit so useful for summer holidays I simply couldn't resist trying this jumpsuit on.  It's the perfect piece for dressing up or down not to mention taking on your hols.  

For the photoshoot I've teamed it with a statement pair of red wedges, which are also available in black (see here).  Simple, classic & stylish but equally the jumpsuit is perfect for dressing down for the daytime too - team with a simple pair of flat sandals (such as these), a denim jacket (such as this one) & a statement shopper (see here) & you'd be good to go.  It's also fantastic for customising with different accessories to create a multitude of looks such as teaming with a wide statement belt (I love the look of this one) or a statement necklace or two.

Black Wrap Tapered Jumpsuit Currently £34.20

Red Suede Platform Wedge Shoe Currently £64.60

For my next outfit I simply had to try on this stunning shift dress.  I'd clocked the navy version (see here) at their press day & loved it at first sight - a great dress for simply throwing on & looking amazing & they've just brought out the same dress in yellow too (see here).  In the photos I teamed the dress with some flat tan sandals but equally a tan pair of wedges would also be perfect or maybe even these clog buckle heels, which would also be stunning teamed with flares.  

Khaki Woven Tunic Dress Currently £26.60

Now we all know I have a 'thing' for the odd blazer or two, so for my final outfit I just had to try their lovely bracelet length sleeve jacket.  I'm wearing the ivory version, but it's also available in navy, black & stone (see here).   If you love jackets but always feel like they're a little too stiff to wear for an occasion other than work then you should definitely try one of these blazers as the fabric is lovely & giving - think a mix between a formal blazer & smart cardigan.  They're great for dressing up (as shown below) as well as dressing down - boyfriend jeans & a pair of trainers would equally be fab teamed with this kind of jacket.

As you can see below I've teamed the blazer with a simple cami & a pair of luxury smart jogger style trousers together with their fabulous strappy heels, which I again fell in love with at their press day (also available in grey here).  

Ivory Bracelet Sleeve Ponte Jacket Currently £30.40

Black Camisole Currently £10.64

Khaki Casual Jogger Currently £22.80 or Khaki Pinstitch Skinny Trousers Currently £25.08

Black Leather Peeptoe Sandals Currently £72.20

I had an amazing time during the photoshoot - I mean seriously who wouldn't love playing dress up & styling such lovely pieces & the team were amazing.  Plus just in case you're tempted Wallis currently have 24% off everything for today only - happy days, click here to get shopping!!

And of course here's my outfit for today - not quite the same quality in photos I'm afraid but I'm going to try & stop doing the mirror selfies time permitting even if it means planning my wardrobe a week in advance & getting hubby or son to take the pictures of a weekend as I'm generally still in my running gear when they leave the house of a morning!

Now as I mentioned at the beginning of the post I've also got a fantastic competition for you.  

Regular followers will know that I've recently launched a styling business where I'm offering various personal services including helping those who've lost their fashion mojo & want to break out of a style rut, need help & ideas for breathing new life into an existing wardrobe, have a special occasion coming up or need advice on how to work a capsule wardrobe/travel light on holiday.  With all these services either being available face to face (I'm happy to travel to you) or via e-styling & done through Skype/email etc.

Another service I'm also really excited about launching is something I'm calling the 'Changing Room Buddy'.  How many of us have ever been stood in a changing room deliberating over whether what we're trying on does us any favours & would love a second opinion, or love it but are at a loss to know how to style it & what to wear with it?  Let alone not sure what we're wearing on a daily basis or for a night out works & would love to ask a friend for advice before stepping out the door?!  Well for a small monthly subscription unlimited photos can be sent direct to me for friendly, honest & constructive advice - email me here for further details.

Right so back to the competition - in celebration of the launch of my styling services I've teamed up with Wallis to offer one lucky follower half a day's personal styling (with me) together with a £100 Wallis gift voucher!  

The competition rules are simple - all you have to do is follow both myself & Wallis on Twitter (click here & here) & re-tweet one of the competition tweets.  The competition is now live from this morning & will finish at midnight on the 7th of April with the winner chosen at random.  You just need to be available for a shopping spree in London - so get tweeting & lots of luck :-)

Have a great day & don't forget you have to be in it to win it - I can't wait to meet the winner & spend a few hours shopping & styling together!
