HM Loves Music Roadshow | QueenBeady

Some of you may, or may not know that I work for a really cool company that hires out photo booths and some crazy fun experiential marketing.

This week I got to be part of an event at H&M Leeds Briggate which was in aid of #HMLovesMusicRoadshow. This is all about the music-come-fashion collab, that we see so very often. The edgy range is aimed at the festival goers and the music lovers out there that are inspired by neon colours, short shorts and flowers in your hair! And what’s more Alexander Wang is the muse behind the madness, so you can expect greatness from this amazing collaboration between high end & high street!

Some of you will know that the roadshow hit Coachella in April this year with this announcement, and what an awesome place to let the world know? NB: Remember to buy a coachella ticket for next year!!

So, back to the event in hand; our photo booth looked totally AWESOME! With our props all ready to go we were all ready for action for a full day entertaining the shoppers of Leeds on this gorgeous, sunny Friday.

I invited lots of lovely bloggers to the event to come say “hi” but most of you were working! (WAAAAA!) So not only were we there we had some fun guys from Radio Aire playing the tunes during their DJ sets, discount cards, Manicures & Mini makeovers.

It was so much fun!

So of course, I had to have a go…..

What would the job be if you couldn’t have this much fun?

OOTD Shopping for my Hen Party Dress | QueenBeady

Outfit One

Outfit Two

Is anyone else crushing over the new Florence & Fred Range at Tesco Clothing? I know I certainly am, so much so I tried two dresses on for my hen do. Now, when I look at these photos I really love the peach coloured dress but didn’t think it would give me much room to bust a move (which I’m pretty sure I will be doing!)

I tried on a size 12 of the Powder Blue dress (which is in the photo) but quickly decided my waist needed cinching in so I tried on the size 10 which quickly gave me more shape. I have previously declared my LOVE for this colour & it’s so easy to see why.

I love the detailing of the dress & can’t wait to wear it. I think I will pair it with these cute block shoes because the ”clompy but cute” look is everywhere at the moment! I love the V neck back as well because it is quite a conservative style dress at the front.

Now I just need to decide whether I wear it Hen do One or Hen do Two? Help me decide.

Blogger of the Week with Wear Eponymous | QueenBeady

This weeks post is only a short one as all the links do the talking (plus I just tried posting this & wordpress decided to delete it?!)

I was so excited when Wear Eponymous chose me to be their BOTW. So you might be asking who W.E are? Well, they are a fabulous company that create classic key pieces that every girl should own. From the tailored dress to the classic cigarette pants (which I happen to adore!) they have something that is always timeless.

Not only do they gorgeous fashion they also help aspiring bloggers (like myself!) get noticed. But there is also something else which is rather special that is in the pipeline. They are working on a collaboration with the super talented Laura Sherriffs. All the bloggers were falling over their feet when they gave us a sneaky peak of what was to come. I certainly can’t wait!

So go put the kettle on, make yourself a good cup of tea, sit back and read my Q&A here and have a right royal belly laugh at my (horrendous) childhood faux pas photo. Enjoy.

OOTD Pastel & Gingham | QueenBeady

It’s a gorgeous spring day & what better way to spend it than bringing my lovely readers a little OOTD? Please excuse the slight podge (wedding diet is NOT going well, obviously!)

My love love affair with eBay and charity shops is through the roof & when I put some of my finds together I couldn’t believe how well they fitted the SS14 trends this year?

(Oh & yes that is my gorgeous doggy running around like a loony in the background!)

TOP Zara
TROUSERS Julie Mitchell
NECKLACE Claire’s Accessories
SHOES New Look
BAG Zara

My favourite find was these pair of gingham trousers! I found then on the £1 rail in a local charity shop. Let me repeat that, ONE WHOLE ENGLISH STIRLING POUND! Yes, you heard me right that time. It really pays dividend to trawl charity shops because you will become a cropper & find something amazing!

My top was an eBay find and I got that for £2.99 from Zara. Hardly worn & bang on trend with the pastel themes we are seeing everywhere at the moment.

& of course. My lovely Zara city shopper bag. My beautiful bag that is just almost too gorgeous for words, she literally comes everywhere with me. She was a splurge (courtesy of my darling husband to be! A short quick paddy & she was mine. Yes, I am princess!)

So do you like this style? If love to hear from you if you do!

How I Styled my Dr Marten Aila’s from Cloggs UK (*) | QueenBeady

I was so lucky to receive a pair of Dr Martens from the Aila range in Cherry Red from Cloggs UK (*). After an initial mix up thinking I had ordered the ”off white” I was actually really pleased that I had accidentally ordered the ”cherry red” version.

So of course, I was eager to style the shoes with three outfits but first let me tell you about these gorgeous shoes! I’ve never owned a pair of Dr.Martens and I have never desired to, however I have been lusting after a new pair of brogues for my new job & I thought this was the perfect opportunity to try a pair so off I searched CLOGGS UK website. They offer a wide range of shoes from Vans to Uggs, from Converse to Barbour, you will be spoilt for choice. After placing my order the shoes were despatched straight away & reached me on Saturday morning (which was less than 24 hours!) I was so excited when I opened them and I was met with a beautiful surprise. Whilst clonky they still ooze a feministic style. The cherry red would suit any outfit & I’ve struggled trying to find something that doesn’t go with them. At £124.99 you are most definitely getting a pair of long lasting shoes.
