The Primark Blogging Masterclass with 'InTheFrow'

Last night I was lucky enough to accompany the beautiful Joanne from Blog De Sherrell to the Primark Blogging Masterclass with Victoria from In The Frow.

I met up with Joanne at The Brunswick Centre, and after a quick pit stop at Starbucks, we headed over to the event which took place at Primark's Press Office in Russell Square, Central London. We were greeted by some cute canapes, cookies and drinks along with an exclusive look at their upcoming AW14 Collection. 

There were so many amazing pieces on show and I was impressed not only by the quantity, but the quality of the pieces on offer and how truly on trend the new collection is. I fell in love with the beautiful baby pink biker jacket, as well as some of the gorgeous statement necklaces, jaw dropping knitwear and there are some beautiful coats coming out soon!

Joanne and I took out seats in the front row and really enjoyed listening to Victoria talk about her biggest 'pinch me' moment - wining the Company Blog Awards for the first time (followed by the second), her blogging process, favourite image editing app, blog schedule and even her hopes for the future.

It's always so lovely to hear bloggers talk fondly of their blogs, success, and even hopes and dreams. I've watched Victoria's blog grow massively the past year and I think everything she has achieved is amazing. 

I had an amazing time and feel like I've been thoroughly spoilt by Primark with a goody bag and gift card to pick up some new clothes! A massive thanks to Joanne for letting me come along as her +1 and to Victoria for speaking so eloquently, openly and honestly.

Needless to say, i'm sure there will be a primark haul coming soon... if you have any great AW suggestions on what to pick up, let me know in the comments.

Primark Jewellery Haul!

I've recently fallen in love with statement jewellery. I've never really owned any statement pieces as for some reason I always thought I couldn't wear them because I had a bigger bust. I was gifted a beautiful statement necklace from Oliver Bonas last month after leaving my job and that has ignited my new found passion for bold pieces. I recently headed to Primark for a browse and here's what I ended up coming home with!

I absolutely fell in love with this piece as soon as I saw it. It was one of those moments where you can't help but think if you've walked into the right shop. I could not believe the quality and how beautiful it was for only £6.00 and in Primark!

 There are so many outfits and make up looks i'm dying to pair this with. It's perfect for a cute girly look or to add some colour and glam to a jeans and T-shirt day.

As well as loving statement pieces, i've also been loving gold jewellery as of late. Sometimes I want to wear a statement piece that isn't a girly flower necklace. 

When I saw this necklace my first thoughts were that my boyfriend will hate it, and unfortunately for him... I have to have it! 

I don't know what drew me to it, but i imagined it going perfectly with a white topshop jumper i'd recently bought on ebay. At £5.00 this was a welcome addition to my jewellery collection.

I'd pair this necklace with a bold black wing, ponytail and a leather jacket for an edgy glam look.

And for those days in between girly and edgy, here's the best of both worlds. I loved how simple this was, but that it can add a finishing touch to any outfit. I have a feeling that this may turn into a simple everyday necklace for me. I like the clean lines and that it's what i'd call, an understated statement necklace.

At £3.00 it's a great little everyday necklace and i'm sure it's going to be popping up in blog photos in the future.

A jewellery haul isn't complete without some midi rings and I picked these up for the bargain price of £1.50!

 I have tiny fingers and i'm pretty sure only the adjustable ring will fit me, but even at £1.50 for the one ring it's a bargain!

Last, but not least I finally bought a flower crown! I'd been after one of these for what seems like forever as there were a few editorial looks I'd wanted to try out, but needed a crown to pair it with. 

At only £4.00 it was an absolute bargain. However, this one didn't pass the boyfriend test as he wasn't too keen on it, but i'm sure I can change his mind if I style it a little more professionally than slapping it on my head and saying "Look how pretty it is!" 

 Keep your eyes peeled for a look featuring this on the blog very soon! 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on these and If you've picked up some jewellery at Primark recently, let me know in the comments! xxx
