Out and About: Press Days SS16

Amy - Stripe Jumper c/o Boden, H&M Roll Neck Top, Topshop Leopard Print Skirt, Clarks Chinaberry Boots

Naomi - Beyond Retro Vintage Coat

Just as the days are getting even greyer, we are reminded that Spring will come around again soon by all the incredible press days around this time of year that are showcasing brighter and more colourful S/S wardrobes, and SS16 might be the brightest one yet!

Boden
We certainly enjoyed the ride into next season at Boden's incredible airline-themed press day which had everything from a carousel catwalk to a first class lounge! Suede, patterned shirts and stripes featured heavily across the product and bright bold primary's mixed in perfectly with the pastels.

Arcadia
We got to see all our favourite high street brands under one roof at the Arcadia press day this season and cannot wait for all this product to come out! Favourites by far were Miss Selfridge's endless collection of lace/crochet/floral folky dresses fit for any Bohemian Queen, they were simply gorgeous and keep your eyes peeled for Topshops ' Artists Impression' trend, a modern 60's offering with print and pattern galore

A few weeks ago, we were invited by the ladies at Lee Publicity to attend the Debenhams Christmas In July Press Day - Fake snow blasted through the street in Central London in the middle of summer and we were greeted inside by the most amazing display of Christmas Jumpers we have ever seen. 

Very Christmas Press Day

This week, Very had there Christmas In July event in the same venue which Amy managed to head down to. The homeware set up's got us in a really christmassy mood, despite the 30oC weather! Our favourite piece definitely has to be the Rochelle Coat, in baby blue with the fur detailing.

Naomi was very lucky to get a photo with the lovely Fearne and she was even more beautiful in real life! The Fearne AW14 collection for Very was full of statement dresses and occasionwear, perfect for the Christmas period. The collection also contained statement winter florals which are lovely to brighten up your winter wardrobe. Amy's favourite piece was the floral shirt dress above and Naomi's the embellished collar shift dress. Stay tuned for a blog post featuring these dresses and how to wear very soon!

The gorgeous prints, details and folk inspired pieces were right up our street and of course there was an amazing selection of fur and winter jackets that will be on our wishlists come September when the new collection starts to drop! Naomi's favourite piece was the deep v neck floral detail dress photographed above which also comes in white. with it's daring neckline and pretty floral detailing.

It doesn't matter how many seasons we get through, the speed in which time just vanishes between them never ceases to amaze me but even more so then when the press day invites are coming through - how could it possibly be that time again already?

We were very lucky to be invited to a few to get some sneak peaks of the amazing product that's on it's way to the high street and here's what we've got in store..

Boohoo
Across the aw14 catwalk and now filtering down to the masses, the trends aren't too far from what aw13 had to offer but if anyone has stepped these trends up a gear it's Boohoo. They have given last seasons faves that fresh lease of life that they totally deserve with incredible pastel fur bombers replacing the pale pink coat and sports luxe getting even more, well, luxe. Boohoo are a company we have watched get bigger and better every single season and this one is no exception - not only have they outdone themselves but they're out doing everyone else when it comes to affordable fashion too.

New Look
Magpie alert! Expect sparkle sparkle sparkles from New Look next season! The thing I love about New Look Press Days is being excited for product across the board - the clothing is always good but we were also excited by the wall of underwear sets and the large amounts of amazing accessories.

Coast
Definitely the most beautiful Press Day, it even smelt amazing! Having come from display-related backgrounds, we were in awe of the thought process behind the pyramid of coffee mugs, street style florist and of course the beautiful product that went with it! I am adoring the navy and lime colour palettes in the day way collection rich jewellery box colours in the occasion wear - perfect for dare I say it.. Christmas.

Littlewoods
When it comes to collabs, Littlewoods are killing it. At another beautifully presented Press Day by the guys at Lee Publicity, the Coleen and Mylene collections were fashionable and wearable which is perfect for their key demographic. Coords are still going strong, and luxe military seemed to be a key trend for these guys.

Marks and Spencer
I could not see past the coats - every single one was just beautiful and I need them all. M&S is another company that have seriously upped their fashion game and I genuinely love love love the direction they are going in bringing a higher end look to the high street. Incredible trophy sweats, the most amazing fur coat, pastel pink tailored suit and iridescent shirt combo and real 70's florals were amongst my faves but the coats.. (Also the kids bowler hat that looked like a kitty!)
