    Transitioning to Autumn with Joy The Store

    For me, as soon as Leeds Festival has been and gone over August bank holiday weekend, it’s Autumn. Suddenly the temperatures dip, the nights start drawing in a lot earlier and the leaves are illusively turning brown. Whilst the majority of Summer Wedding season is over, there are still a few lovely crisp, autumnal weddings to be had and we had one this weekend no less. I was delighted that I had been given the chance to sort my AW15 wardrobe by being tasked with transitioning to Autumn with Joy The Store. It was a perfect opportunity to road test this gorgeous dress from the Louche range.

    For those who don’t know I am the monthly chat host of #HappySelves on Twitter. This is a once-monthly takeover of the wonderful #HealthySelves chat. I pick a topic that is light-hearted and upbeat and we all just chat away like we would with friends over coffee. It’s so lovely to have a chat on Twitter where there’s never an argument, everyone plays nice and we are also a support network for those who aren’t necessarily feeling 100% with themselves.

    I wouldn’t have enough fingers to count on, the times I have said I have fallen in love with a dress, or any piece of clothing for that matter. In fact I sometimes feel like I’m in a lustful affair with some of my wardrobe. I love you A-Line denim skirt, you’re so structured and lovely but some days you just got to go for the floatiness of chiffon. Does that make me a bad person? I look at these photos & I realise not, because this dress is pretty darned good. Am I right? I fell in love with it as soon as I laid eyes on it via New Looks online sale. It comes from the concession ”Parisian Collection” and in all honesty I hadn’t actually heard of it before. But when the words Parisian come in to any metaphorical term for clothing. I’m there.

    As the days keep ticking by, I’m slowly marking an ”X” on each day. I know I shouldn’t wish my days away but at the moment there is only one thing on my mind and that my friends is a trip to Mexico in 45 days. AS I’m dreaming of cocktails and lounging around on a beautiful white, sandy beach with nothing but the waves to keep my ears company I know I have some major prepping to do. Not only am I working out 2-3 times a week to tone up that dreaded tummy of mine – I’m also needing to keep in tact my hairy legs. Yes you heard me. I have a really hairy body. I actually kind of wear it as a badge of honour now & when the discussion arises of ”how much hair we had as a child?” I’m always first to raise my hand in the air and proudly say ”I looked like a monkey when I was born.” Here there’s even proof; You have to admit it’s a colossal amount of hair, am I right?

    Bon Marche AW15 | QueenBeady

    04

    Recently I was asked to be a part of the Bon Marche Catwalk at Lamberts Yard, Leeds. I was super pleased as I love an excuse to get my make-up done and put on a pair of heels! It also gave us the chance to have a sneak peek of Bon Marche’s AW15 range that is due to land soon. Now, forgive me for thinking that Bon Marche is somewhere my Nana might shop but it seems that they are upping their style stakes and adding classic pieces to the range that will stand the test on time. It was time for myself and a few other fellow bloggers, Kellie, Kristina, & Jennie  to walk the pink carpet!
