British Fashion Awards 2014

We had one of the best, and most magical, sparkly nights of all time on Monday at the British Fashion Awards.

Not only was it a great privilege to be surrounded by so many inspirational and talented people, we were so proud of Britain's prominence within the fashion world.


For the non A-listers, there were hair stylists on hand to perfect our hair...




Now time for the ceremony, which was hosted by the amusing Jack Whitehall. Not only was the list of nominees incredible, but the list of award presenters included the likes of Rihanna, Rita Ora, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Karlie Kloss, Lewis Hamilton, Harry Styles and Kylie Minogue.

British Fashion Council
John Galliano gave an amazing speech about Anna's contribution, not only to British, but to global fashion, and using it as her way to help those less fortunate.  When Anna moved over the American Vogue, she was bored of the 'lovely' beige collections season after season and turned her attention to the young, vibrant designers in London.  Anna is a huge inspiration to us, as she is for so many.

"In Anna's world, for every problem there's a solution" 
"I urge people to use fashion as a platform to help"

Now onto the after parties, where there were even more photo opportunities.



Here are some of our favourite photos from the night.

Company Bloggers Style the Highstreet

We recently attended 'Company Bloggers Style the Highstreet' at Tobacco Dock.




Walking though the dock, we entered pure heaven with all the hair styling, face glitter, lip glitter, nail painting and brow styling- we weren't sure where to start!


Alice went for the beautiful face glitter


And we had a stunning gold leaf manicure. Then it was time for the show which kicked off with beautiful and soulful vocals from Nina Nesbitt.


With bloggers styling the highstreets AW15 ranges, everything was affordable, which made for some serious picture taking and note scribbling! The shoppable video made by Company was a godsend. Here are our highlights:!

The Little Magpie for Warehouse


Shewearsfashion for River Island

Emma Hill for M&S


Hannah Louise for Primark 


Pages by Megan for ASOS


We especially loved Ella from Cocosteapary styling of Next's range in the theme of Gossip Girl.  There was a certain luxe feel that took you right over to the Upper East side....


We loved this pencil skirt and the green and orange combination.


There was so much to love about Pages by Megan's styling of ASOS AW15. Our favourites were this gorgeous embellished dress...


and this embellished co-ord set....




If there was one trend that featured throughout the night, it was co-ords. Looks like they're here to stay for a while and we're very happy about that! All of you curvy and booby ladies know what it's like having trouble finding dresses- at least with co-ordinated sets you can buy two different sizes!

We also loved a lot of Kavita from Shewearsfashion's styling for River Island.  In particular this sequin dress...

This embellished shirt coupled with a white tweed jacket.


And this beautiful fur trim coat...


We loved the trenches and neutral shades styled by The Little Magpie for Warehouse:



EJStyle for M&S featured this belted wrap scarf, which we absolutely adore! It's sure to make an appearance in our winter wardrobes!


The finale was Hannah Louise F styling Primark's AW15 range. Our favourite pieces were this dog-tooth coat



And we love the colour and cut of these destroyed jeans!





And of course there was more dancing from the models and BB Kaye.

The beautiful BB Kaye stole the show with his charisma, dancing and THAT face.


Overall a fantastic night- we can't wait for the next one!
