Guests were also treated to an evening of burlesque entertainment with Proud pulling out all the stops for an amazing night! Cocktails flowed, canapés were devoured and there was a never ending supply of pick n mix. Not to mention a photo booth which had a permanent queue outside all evening.

Wednesday wish list: Leather!

From left to right: Little Mistress dress, Fashion Union boots, Love satchel, Ax Paris t-shirt

Today's Wednesday wish list post brings together a mix of our favourite 'leather' items from across our brands. The leather look trend is already big this season and will continue to grow throughout winter. We particularly love this Little Mistress dress which features accents of leather mixed with a cute white material, fuelling the monochrome trend too.

In Love With Fashion have a number of cute satchels and bags in a range of colours. You might not know that Love sell accessories, they also sell shoes too. Every year this red/burgundy colours is always very popular and this satchel would make the perfect accessory for any outfit.

Are you a fan of the current leather trend? What key pieces have you been purchasing?

Celeb Style: Daisy Lowe & Samantha Barks

1. Ax Paris jumper - £28

2. Fashion Union pink skater skirt - £20

3. Fashion Union dogtooth jacket - £45

4. Fashion Union red vinyl skirt - £20

5. Ax Paris suede ankle boots - £39.99

We love being able to steal celebrity style at a fraction of the price from plenty of our favourite brands! This week we fell in love with Daisy Lowe's pastel pink and grey ensemble at Topshop Unique's show at London Fashion Week. Fashion Union sell a lovely baby pink skater skirt, almost identical in colour for just £20. 

Pictured with Daisy Lowe is Samantha Barks who sported a vibrant red leather skirt and a pair of killer heeled boots! Ax Paris sell some very similar shoes whilst Fashion Union are currently stocking this gorgeous red vinyl fitted skirt. We love this!! It's so on trend this Autumn :) 

Who were your favourite celeb spots at LFW? 

Wednesday wish list: Lace

Love teal eyelash lace front playsuit - £36

Chi Chi Melody dress - £48.99

Motel Caprice off the shoulder dress - £45

Ax Paris lace collar dress - £28

Lace is always a popular fabric in Autumn/Winter and this year the trend is already sweeping through new collections from our favourite brands. 

We particularly love this cute playsuit from In Love With Fashion - it's available in a range of colours including this lovely teal green colour. If you're a fan of The Only Way is Essex you may have spotted Lucy Mecklenburgh sporting the ivory version. 

Are you a fan of lace? Which is your favourite from the outfits above that we've chosen?

Celeb Style: Kourtney Kardashian

If you're born a Kardashian, there's no doubt you have style running through your veins from birth. Each Kardashian (all 5 of them, plus two Jenners!) have their own style and never fail to look immaculate. I'm sure you all know Kim as the most well known Dash girl, but today I wanted to look at Kourtney. Not one of the most known sister, she definitely still has the known K style - from big glasses, to big leather handbags, to leopard print body con dresses. Below is a way you can steal this casual yet classy look of hers for less than half the price of her bag!

Jacket / Glasses / Bangle / Leggings / Shirt / Necklace / Boots / Hat / Bag

What do you think of her casual style? Not quite casual enough for you or a little too over the top?

Wednesday Wishlist: Cover-ups

As it's well past the longest day and the weather is getting cooler (along with the occasional spell of rain, boo!) it's time to start looking for something a little warmer to add to your wardrobes. I don't know about you, but I have a bit of an obsession with jackets and coats. I have way too many for my own good and yet never have one that goes! Below is a handful of some of my favorites, from classic styles to bold prints, there's something for everyone.

Top left / Top right / Middle / Bottom Left / Bottom Right

What kind of style are looking for this autumn? Will you go classic like the Glamorous blue coat, or something a little different such as the Motel bomber jacket? I know I'm particularly loving the black parka jacket from AX Paris as it's such an easy item to style and is both practical and on trend! Let me know what you're lusting over!

Wednesday wish list!

I have a confession that I'm sure most of you reading this can relate to... I am a shopaholic. Even when I'm trying to save up money, this still doesn't stop me from spending a bit of time each day looking at things that I can't buy just yet. It makes it so easy for me to compile daily wishlists in my mind, and this time I'm writing it all down for my etail PR guest post. :)

1. Little Mistress White Tunic Dress with Black Colour Block Hem Little Mistress is a brand that I have returned to for dresses many times. It was actually my mum that discovered their website, and she loved it so much she would sometimes purchase their dresses for me. I love this dress as it's really 'free', I also love how it's black and white with just a touch of yellow to make it more exciting.

2. KarmaClothing Purple Pink Batman Collage Cross Strap Dungaree Skater Skirt I remember seeing an image of Cheryl Cole in a batman dress, and I don't think I ever fully let go of the idea of wanting something similar. What drew me to this was that it was in the style of dungaree, I could imagine wearing it with a black top or crop top underneath.

3. KarmaClothing Black White Thick Vertical Stripe Front Zip Bralet There was definitely a period in my life where I was afraid to wear crop tops, but I think that has come and gone. I am all for stripes and the monochrome trend, so of course this would be the perfect item for me. I could imagine pairing this with a wet look skater skirt. :)

4. Motel Envelope Clutch in Black Python My mum is definitely a fan of snake/python prints such as this, and I'm usually the one to ask "why?" But I found myself drawn to this clutch bag when I saw it; it is such a classic and simple bag that will complement many outfits, and the pattern is also quite subtle.

5. AX Paris Metallic Strappy Heels My favourite Summer trend so far has to be the strappy heel trend, I can't explain to you how excited I was when my bought my own pair for the first time a few months back. The best thing about these heels is the actual heel...
IT'S METALLIC.
6. AX Paris Zip Front Press Stud Pocket Top This is quite a simple shirt, but what makes it different is both the zip and the studs on the pockets. This is definitely something that would be the perfect addition to my wardrobe.

It has been a pleasure guest blogging for etail PR; you can more of my blogs over at http://beautyblog.skylish.co.uk. :)

Date Night; What To Wear

Hi!

So this is my first guest post on Etail PR so I hope you like it!!

I decided to do a 'Date Night' outfit, so girls if you're unsure of what to wear on that Summer evening date then this one is for you!!

I've created two different outfits all with clothes and accessories from Ax Paris!!

So check out the first one below;

Now this one is the more girlier look of the two, I'm a huge fan of skater dresses which is why I picked this dress. The shoes I thought went perfect with this as well as the bracelet and the bag, these accessories just add a little extra girly touch to it.

To get this look I used;

Floral Belt Skater Dress

Gold Bar Ballet Shoes

Circle Swirl Bracelet

Texture Tote Bag

Now if the first look is not for you, you may prefer this look;

My favourite colour is blue so these jeggings stood out for me straight away. Then I wanted a nice vest to add and found this one, I love the pattern of the photographs on it. Next I found this cute denim waistcoat which I thought finished this outfit nicely! Next the shoes! I love the stud design on these high tops and they're a perfect match for wearing with jeggings. Finally I added the cuff bracelet. This bracelet caught my eye straight away and adds a nice finishing touch! 

To get this look I used;

Camera Roll Vest

Blue Skinny Jeggings

Denim Waistcoat

Stud High Tops

Metallic Cuff Bracelet

So there's my 'Date Night' outfit post!!

Hope you liked it!

Wednesday Wishlist

Hello there all you lovely people! I'm Samantha from Blue-bells. I am here doing a guest blogger post. Being apart of etail PR has allowed me to spread my fashion wings and has introduced me to some FABULOUS new clothing brands. Today i have bought to you, all the way from sunny Hampshire, my favourite summer styles from a few of these brands. First up is Motel Rocks:

motel rocks by samoxborrow featuring black flats

This outfit is perfect for all the summer festivals.  Matching these shades of pink with the black is so summery and chick, i love it! JuJu jellies and dungarees are my two favourite trends this summer. 90s fashion has made one of the biggest come backs we have seen for a while! 

AX paris by samoxborrow featuring flat shoes

Here i have put together the perfect girly outfit which can be dressed up with some heels for a perfect date outfit or dressed down with some flats or flatforms for the perfect summery day outfit. What shoes would you pair with this beautiful dress?

Karma clothing by samoxborrow featuring a cropped corset

To finish off i have styled thee biggest summer trend which is of course: Crop tops. Whether it's a croped tee or a bralett we are all a victim of hopelessly falling in love with the crop. I like to pair it with high waisted shorts. First of all we have a brilliant  monochrome outfit which is dying to be worn at a festival. Then the sexy look of red and black for those killer nights out and last but not least, when you want dress it down for a day at the beach red and white with the cute cut out makes it a beach savy outfit! Which one is your favourite?

What has been your favourite summer trend?

Love,

Samantha

Wednesday Wishlist: Maxi Dresses

1. Ax Paris - £40 

2. Chi Chi - £39.99

3. Lashes of London - £95

4. Ax Paris - £35

5. Chi Chi - £49.99

With upcoming holidays just around the corner for many of us in the etailPR office we thought we'd centre this weeks 'Wednesday Wishlist' post around the maxi dress!

Perfect for holidays and Summer in general, there are many beautiful maxi dresses on the market. In particular both Chi Chi and Ax Paris offer a wide range of lovely styles. We particularly love this underwater themed Chi Chi bandeau one (2).

Also, not forgetting Lashes of London! Their 'Juniper' dress pictured here in the middle, is one of their best selling items. With a gorgeous, multi coloured, chiffon bottom and bandeau white cotton top it would make the perfect beach attire. We can just picture ourselves strolling across a stunning, sandy beach as the sun is setting... ahh! We can only dream right now.

Are you a fan of the maxi dress?

Wednesday Wishlist: Ax Paris Curve

As a plus size woman, shopping for outfits to wear to events and occasions can sometimes be a little tricky. I want something that will fit me well, but simultaneously be bang on trend. Enter the AX PARIS Curve range. Their dresses are absolutely gorgeous, and their fit is impeccable. Here is my wishlist for their latest pieces!

1. 

PVC COLLAR CHIFFON TOP £25

LASER CUT PU SCALLOP SKIRT £30

Sheer AND PVC? It’s sexiness personified. The length of the hem on the skirt stops it look too trashy, and the intricate laser cutting pattern brings a little femininity to the style. It’s androgynous enough for anyone who isn’t a girly girl. 

2.

CHIFFON JEWEL MAXI DRESS WAS £60 NOW £29.99

This strapless dress would be perfect for a night out on holiday. The extra sparkle added around the sweetheart neckline brings attention to the top half, and the skirt is flowing and hip-skimming; both aspects perfect for a pear shaped beauty!

3.

JEWL CHIFFON MAXI £55

Similar to the strapless maxi dress, the addition of straps just give that extra bit of support, so perfect if you have a larger bust. Black can always be accessorised to whichever trend is in that season, so this dress would be a great investment piece!

4.

NUDE DROP BACK CHIFFON ROUCHE FRONT DRESS £45

The high-low hem doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, and this gorgeous nude strapless dress is just the perfect balance of frothy girlyness with a tough edge. Team with killer heels and a clutch bag, and your Saturday night outfit is sorted. 

5.

EMBELLISHED CHIFFON HALTER NECK DRESS £60

Halter necks are great for anyone with wider shoulders, particularly wider straps like on this dress. The detailing around the midriff crosses over, giving a streamlined silhouette, nipping and pulling in where needed. 

6. 

BONDED LACE SPLIT MESH DRESS £45

This dress is absolutely stunning. Lace is a huge trend this season and this dress has just the right amount, taking it from sweet to sexy. Combined with a sheer half skirt on the back, giving fluidity to the dress, allowing it to move around your body, this dress is the perfect confidence booster. Team it with a red lip and a messy topknot to add more oomph!

7.

PLEAT EMBELLISHED KEY HOLE DRESS £60

This is the ultimate grecian goddess inspired dress. The blush colour is right on trend, and looks gorgeous on all different types on skintones. The key hole detailing reveals just the right amount of bare skin, making it demure enough for a fancy occasion. 

8.

SWEETHEART NECKLINE LACE DRESS £32

The lace detailing on the shoulders and arms allows the skin underneath to peek through, giving it a glamourous, sexy aesthetic. The sweetheart neckline is ultra flattering, and if the length of the dress puts you off, you can always wear it with a knee length pencil skirt. Vamp it up with big hair and big shoes!

Ax Paris presents a night at the circus!

Last Wednesday we attended the Ax Paris blogger event at Circus bar, Covent Garden. The party was to celebrate the new Ax Paris TV advert which aired yesterday afternoon on ITV2.

Bloggers and press came together for an enjoyable evening of entertainment from Circus which featured amazing fire breather Teta, and a breath taking aerialist Hugo. With Asian inspired canapés and cocktails being served throughout the evening, we think all who were in attendance can agree that it was a fantastic night!

The TV advert features many styles from Ax Paris' latest Spring/Summer collection, including this beautiful crochet waist dress featured above. You can find the dress here for just £22.

Wednesday Wishlist: Ax Paris plus size

When I found AX Paris had a plus size range I was over the moon!! All of their clothes are amazing and such good quality! Everything in their range is truly beautiful and makes any girl feel special! AX Paris has such a diverse range and I can never ever decide on one thing! When I try on their clothes I always just feel so girly, pretty and lady like. The sizing of the products is always accurate and the materials sit well on us fuller figure ladies!
I have come up with two small collages to show you! The first one is for dressy wear, dinners, nights out with the girls and special occasions. I choose two dresses which I am in LOVE with at the moment! I feel as though spring is upon us we need to get some wear from all the lovely darker shades in our closets before the pastel tidal wave hits us! Also for special occasions who doesn’t feel gorgeous in black!
The first dress is totally eye catching and is truly as I said a ladies dress. The second one you could really rock it up with killer heels and a clutch and still look beyond stunning!!

1. Burnt Out Stud Lace Dress €56

2. Stud Wedge Shoe €39.19

3. Leopard Belt Chiffon Dress €58.80 now €41.99

4. Coil Bangle €8.40

The second collage I want to share with you is something a little simpler. Clothes for everyday wear but items that you could still transform into something sleek and sexy for that special night out.
Dresses 1 and 4 from this collage are skater dresses something that for me personally really complement my figure and make me feel comfortable all the time. Anything leopard print is a winner in my books and belongs in my wardrobe. Number 3 are a cute little set of ankle boots with a tassel which you could wear with anything! Something, my shoe collection is severely lacking at the moment. The dresses number 2 and number 6 are just so cute. I really don’t see how any girl could turn these away. Cute bird and feather print give them that girly touch. Lastly the Heart jumper and statement necklace, perfect for lunch with the girls or a day in college.

AX Paris is a brand that I have become very fond of over the past few months and I would highly recommend giving them a try. I know certain things aren’t for everyone but with this range I can guarantee you that you will find at least one piece that you will never want to let go of!
