  • OOTD Channelling my inner Italian | QueenBeady

    OOTD Channelling my inner Italian | QueenBeady

    WELCOME HOME! I hear you shout!

    Some of you may or may not know (and if you don’t, do you live under a rock?!?!) that I have been wedding-fying and honeymooning myself up with my HUSBAND.

    I hope to bring you a few posts over the next few weeks that share a glimpse and a peek into our special day, but for now in the spirit of keeping our honeymoon alive & well I thought I would post an outfit inspired write up today because I have been lusting after the Italian lifestyle.

    “why?” I hear you say. Well. Let me tell you.
    1. Everything is just effortlessly chic.
    I could go on to point 2 but to be honest the above sums it up pretty nicely. Having skirted and winded around the Amalfi Coast, explored the billionaire practise that is Capri, people watched from a quaint cafe in Sorrento I can safely say we experienced all of what the beautiful region of Italy had to offer.

    I have so much to look forward to this year. I thought I’d be lost after the wedding with something to do but I’m looking forward to my first Bloggers Meet in Leeds next month, so please say hello if you will be there too!

    How would you dress for Italy? I’d love to know, post your comments below!!

    So, I have FINALLY invested in a bridge camera so I can take awesome photos. Whilst I am no expert I think I have picked it up pretty quickly.

    I’ve invested in a Fujifilm Finepix S9400W which is the most up to date bridge camera that Fujifilm has released.

    Whilst I’m still yet to get to grips with everything and all the different settings I have enjoyed taking it out and testing it down on the farm.

    I’ve had so much fun. And, let’s be honest being able to play on the farm is certainly a great place to test my skills out.

  • Outfit Inspiration with HM Loves Music Roadshow | QueenBeady

    Hello to all my lovely followers!

    I know my style/OOTD posts have been quite ”sporadic” as of late, however I thought that I would put together a mood board of some my favourites pieces from the #HMLovesMusicRoadshow collection. You can read about the exciting event that our photobooth and myself were involve with last week HERE.

    Image

    I literally love all things summery, especially that boho vibe. It get’s me so excited for festival season and with the YO1 Festival firmly under my belt I am in full swing festival mode!

    Whilst alot of the range were quite bright and garish, I picked a few of the more subtle pieces that exuded a bit more ”class” that would be perfect for waving your arms in the air at a festival or running down the beach watching the sunset. (Drifts off in to a dreamy haze of Summery Goodness)

    The super cool Palazzo pants are so effortlessly chic, I can almost imagine sipping a G&T on the marina in the Cote D’Azur in these. A must have for summer  http://www.hm.com/gb/product/27529?article=27529-B#campaign=2VA_DLM_part_2&campaignType=Transactional_Planned

    The Kimono is EVERYWHERE this year. You can’t run & you certainly can’t hide. The 1970’s Woodstock movement is to blame for this and I can’t deny my love for it any longer. Perfect for a breezy night when you don’t want anything too heavy http://www.hm.com/gb/product/26646?article=26646-B#campaign=2VA_DLM_part_2&campaignType=Transactional_Planned

    What’s summer or a festival without a few flowers in your hair? Exactly, I see you all nodding in agreement with me! I love the pastel pinks in this and quite frankly you should all go buy it and dance in the streets! http://www.hm.com/gb/product/27911?article=27911-A#campaign=2VA_DLM_part_2&campaignType=Transactional_Planned

    DUNGAREES!!!! I can finally relive my circa 1990 outfits? What an earth was my momma thinking, but you know what who cares if you look a little STUPID? Because I can feel like a little kid again in these super cute dungarees! http://www.hm.com/gb/product/28725?article=28725-A#campaign=2VA_DLM_part_2&campaignType=Transactional_Planned

    And finally…. STRIPES, STRIPES & MORE STRIPES. Give them to me, all of them to me. I love stripes. I have dispersed the common myth that horizontal stripes make you look fat (because I am a little chubby!) and I wear stripes all the time and don’t actually feel like a beached whale. So this cute little number is all you need, however I am not sure if I am brave enough to get my little tum tum out just yet in this off the shoulder top! http://www.hm.com/gb/product/29764?article=29764-C#campaign=2VA_DLM_part_2&campaignType=Transactional_Planned

    I hope you likeed the round up guys!

    Enjoy, oh and can I just remind you all….. I GET MARRIED IN TWO WEEKS TIME! So please send me your honeymoon outfit inspirations to me, pretty please!!

    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?
