On Wednesday, the pair of us were honoured to be attending the Company Style Blogger Awards 2013 at the Truman Brewery just off Brick Lane! With Champagne reception, photobooth, customise your own sunglasses and a room full of other wonderfully dressed people it was a little blogging haven!

Although we didn't win any awards, we felt so incredibly lucky to just have the chance to be there and rub shoulders with bloggers that have been going a lot longer and are a lot more established than we are so would like to take this opportunity to thank every single one of you for reading, supporting and voting for TSOP, we can't explain how much it means to us.

As for our outfits - we wanted to stay true to our own personal styles, but of course we also wanted to match! It seems monochrome with a little something else is becoming our signature style for attending events together! and tonight's little something else was gold, inspired by Amy's sweatshirt that she has been obsessing over since it was on the Topshop imagery back in January and has finally come into stores. We wanted to look smart and chic so went for collars and skirts rather than dresses, leather for a bit of an edge and polka dots for fun :) sums us up perfectly!

What would you wear to a style bloggers award ceremony? with so many blogging beauties in one place the pressure is insane to get those all important outfits right!

Two Can Play That Game - Naomi

Topshop spot flock co-ord, eBay pearl glasses, Topshop polka dot socks, Topshop reflect sandal, Topshop Daisy Necklace, Primark black clutch 

Everyone seems to have been bitten by the co-ord frenzy that has happened this year and this is one bug that I am glad to have caught as it has introduced something truly spectacular into my wardrobe! 
Co-ords are everywhere and are such an easy way to look on trend and slick. Although something so easy needs to be approached with care there is nothing worse than an ill fitted printed trouser suit or Bralet and skirt not suited to your figure. Like with everything this is a look that you can get really wrong but if approached carefully.. so god dam right!  




If your after a trouser and jacket combo, shots and top, Bralet and skirt there is such a huge variety out there with what seems like the majority of Topshop now comes with something matching you will be bound to find one that's right for you. 
I always like to add a bit of me when wearing a co-ord and never like wearing something as it comes of the hanger- layer them with shirts, add accessories such as necklaces, socks or a hat or add a clashing jacket. Always think about finishing of the look in head to toe dressing and never look like you have rolled out of a store without really thinking about it. This is a mistake a lot of people make and it's making those personal decisions to add your stamp that makes you stand above the rest!  




The great thing about a co-ord is it can offer you endless amounts of outfits if worn together but also separately with other items. For me it's all about the printed top and skirt or short combos like Amy's leaf one and the one I'm sporting which is very similar to the Louis Vuitton yellow checkerboard print but of course with a Topshop twist- little white polka Dots.... So cute!  Something that has caught my eye recently soft trouser and blazer suits in stunning colours like cobalt blue are perfect in a light silky material for the brighter weather, especially if like me you don't like showing of your legs!  




 For this look I wore my brand spanking new co-ord influenced by Louis Vuitton I knew it wasn't long before the checkerboard print filtered down to the high street! I love this yellow colour it's great for the warmer weather and for making me feel summery. I wore my new pearl sunglasses, black clutch and polka dot socks with a barely there sandal to finish of the look. I also wore my new favourite necklace the big daisy and gold chain which is super cute and super on trend with the recent daisy hype. Adding the little details make the look stand out and be different. 

If I give you guys any advice this summer then this is it! Inject some double loving into your wardrobe and invest in a two piece whatever your shape or style there is one for you! 

Going Away To College - Naomi

New Look Varsity Jacket £15 (sale), Topshop Grey Sweat £22, Charity Shop White Shirt £4, Topshop Elephant Earrings £12.50, Topshop Yellow Pleated Skirt £65, Topshop Polka Dot Pop Sock £4, Topshop Reflect Sandals £70, Ebay Transparent Clutch £11

 

I never thought I would learn to love varsity so much, but since finding this jacket this week I realised I can chuck it over most outfits and be good to go! I love the contrast of wearing a floral or aztec print under the jacket- you can be really experimental to make it look you.
The jacket has leather sleeves which makes it feel premium and has an 'A' patch on it which in my eyes clearly stands for AWESOME! If you are looking for a varsity jacket head to Topshop, Miss Guided or for vintage head to Rokit or Beyond Retro and pick up a truly original one!

For this look- a grown up way to wear varsity I went for a crisp white shirt with a speckled grey sweat over it which has the smart but casual element to it. I originally planned to wear a tailored trouser with this outfit but it didn't feel me, I like feeling girly and this skirt makes me feel just that!
Plus it meant I could add a little detail on my feet with the polka dot socks and a barely there sandal. I'm sorry for using my transparent clutch AGAIN- but it proves it really is a fantastic buy and goes with everything. I will put it down in the next few posts! To make it extra Naomi I added my new Topshop elephant earrings which I was lusting over in my last weeks style post! I always feel unfinished if I don't have a statement piece of jewellery on and I think these add just enough bling and sophistication to the outfit.

I felt very confident in this outfit and think it would be perfect for work or shopping with friends- varsity has sure won me over this season! If you don't fancy a varsity jacket then buy into the trend with a beanie, slogan varsity tee/sweatshirt or even as simple as sewing your own initial patch onto a old denim jacket or sweatshirt.

Be ready for the 'College Of Style' this summer and look the very best on campus!
