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?

Cocktails & YO1 Festival Kind of Weekend | QueenBeady

Whilst the boys played on the bank holiday for Mr C’s stag do, the girls were going to play too!

It started with my mum putting on a lovely spread for my bridesmaids and close family on the Saturday afternoon/evening so we could get together. It was so lovely to have the ones I love altogether!

I even made a start on our place cards for the wedding. My mum & I made a little bit of bunting with her super cool cutting machine! (She is a serious crafter) She deserved a bunch a flowers for putting up with my hormonal self!

So off we then went to York! My girls I tow and also my little sister which was really nice. We managed to get a table in York Revolution and my friend works there so we enjoyed the cocktails & shots all night (& of course managed a dance!)

Then on the Sunday we enjoyed a trip to YO1 festival at York racecourse which was awesome! We didn’t stay too late as we had had one two many cocktails the night before, but it was definitely a case of “Hair of the Dog”

We saw some good bands and quite frankly danced our little socks off! It got me in the mood for Leeds Festival!!

We also had the most AMAZING pulled pork sandwich & it was quite frankly the coolest food stall I have see!

What have you been doing on your bank holidays?

I don’t now about you, but I can’t wait for the next one?!

Alana Haim Outfit Inspiration | QueenBeady

Today I bring you the third & final instalment of my outfit inspiration posts on those super talented sisters, Haim. Last but not least is Alana – who is often referred to as Baby Haim. She’s the youngest of the band and exudes playfulness both on stage & off.

I would say Alana’s style is very much the wacky one. As the youngest this is probably why it reflects that the most. She is not afraid to get colourful and show off a bit of leg in her trademark short shorts!

So let me take you on another style journey after trawling the Internet I think I put together the perfect outfit.

1. This varsity style jacket is an absolute bargain from River Island and personifies Alana. She does occasionally wear the Haims trademark leather jacket like her sisters but your tend to see her in more lighter jackets like this one. In the sale at on £20 you’d be mad not to buy it!

2. PAISLEY PRINT! Not only am I a huuuuge fan of this print & style it is so on point with Alana’s fashion sense. This will be seen all over the festival circuit this year. You can pick up this in time for the summer season from Topshop at a slightly pricier £36.

3. Alana wouldn’t be Alana if she wasn’t wearing some really short shorts! I picked these ones because I loved the floral pattern of the pockets that were peaking out at the bottom. From New Look they only cost £14.99. What a bargain?

4. EEEEK! Look at these beauties? What dreams are made of? These Dr Martens are from Cloggs UK & are the pricier end of the scale at £124.99 but you know you will probably get the quality from a well known brand. I’m awaiting a pair of these beauties so I almost feel like I could be Baby Haims twin!

5. This super cute swallow necklace is fabulous. It’s very delicate and it’s not too over the top. I think this would just finish the look off perfectly! This can be found at Boohoo at a very lovely price of £5.

So there you have it Alana Haims style from the high street & the last in this series posts. I will no doubt be using this style inspiration for another set of posts soon. I’d love to hear if you want to challenge me to create someone’s style as well – so please leave a comment below!

Este Haim Outfit Inspiration | QueenBeady

I’ve decided to so a series post that will be weekly for all my lovely readers & followers. Having seen these sorts of style posts I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon but try do something a little different.

I love fashion and following both the high street & the catwalk, but what really inspires me the most are the bands and singers that I really love! so I thought I’d kick off my first blog post by starting with 1/3 of my favourite band EVER! The gorgeous and hilarious Este HAIM.

1. This gorgeous dress is from the fabulous Lavish Alice I chose this dress because quite simply, it oozes Estes style to an absolute tee. Priced at £58.00 you hope you are going to get a nice quality piece of clothing.

2. These incredibly super duper cool biker shoes from Missguided are perfect for the feet. If you are on your feet alot you want to look cool but at the same time not have poorly feet at the end of it. For £37.99 I thought this was such a reasonable price for some biker style boots. Perfect sized heel & perfect for Estes style

3. Frilly socks? Say no more. They create that perfectly girly & innocent look that tones down the slightly hardcore/grungey look that Este pulls off so well. Some how she still manages to keep it quite feminine. Priced at £3.50 from Topshop they are an ABSOLUTE steal!

4. I LOVE this necklace. The very tribal-esque look is still bang on trend and quite frankly just pull this whole outfit together. I can totally see this type of jewellery rocking out at every festival this year. And it’s only £12.50 from Miss Selfridge

5. Last but it least I bring you the most AWESOME rose gold metallic leather jacket from River Island I mean this is a ridiculous splurge piece, priced at £140.00 but WOW! Whilst I don’t think I could be so daring I imagine Este would absolutely love this piece!

There you have it, my style guide to Este Haims wardrobe inspiration. Keep your eyes peeled for another sister from HAIM very soon. Quite frankly I love you & your style – AMAZING!

If you liked this post let me know with your comments it’s great to hear from all my followers & readers!
