The nights are getting lighter, I’m not needing to scrape ice from my car every morning, I can go out without 25 layers of clothing on to try and stay warm – it must be nearly spring!
I love this time of year, shops are looking so nice and fresh with all the beautiful new collections – and the press days in Scotland begin to get me even more excited! I’ve been so looking forward to House of Fraser’s press day since I got the invite through, it’s always so nice to have press shows in Scotland instead of brands keeping it all London based.
After a complete parking nightmare (seriously, trying to park in Glasgow’s West End at dinner time is not recommended), I was feeling seriously stressed out at how late I was. As soon as I got in Oran Mor however I quickly forgot about the near tears situation I was getting into for the past 40 minutes – who could still be stressed out when there are so many beautiful clothes – and ceilings to look at?! The setting for the press show was perfect – Oran Mor is such a stunning venue. And the new collections are just wow, I want to go book a holiday right now! Lots of bold brights, safari chic and to die for accessories. There was also some really sweet home pieces too – particular shout out to the little gold pineapple!
My stand out piece has to be the Biba leopard print jumpsuit, everything about it is just so me. I may have to (I will) make a little trip to House of Fraser just to y’know..try on the dreamy jumpsuit/buy it on complete impulse! The beautiful Chloe Drew bag was also the most talked about accessory of the evening – the perfect addition to any exotic safari outfit!
