Golden Gown

I have been so excited to share this post with you and introduce you to the amazing brand that I had the pleasure of wearing at the Fashion Influencer Awards. As I am only 5"4 (hence the blog title) I really struggle with finding floor length dresses to fit me without having to wear ridiculously high platform heels; so of course you can imagine how happy I was when this was waiting for me in my hotel and it fitted perfectly. I love the way it pools slightly at the bottom when I stand still and then floats effortlessly around my feet as I walk. Such stunning dress that reflects light amazingly and it will probably be something I put on in my flat to cheer me up on bad days.

I styled this Marilyn Golden gown from FashionPills with some studded heels, which I managed to last all night in and also from Fashion Pills. The dress floats straight down with a high waist line that I accessorised with my lion head belt from Topshop. Finishing the look with a gorgeous beaded gold clutch; the detailing on this is just so beautiful I will put up a mini post on it very soon as also buyable on their website. 

I always think you need to feel yourself at an event like this and wear something that reflects you and I honestly felt so comfortable ad confident in this outfit...it did helping knowing I wasn't going to fall flat on my face. Initially I was so nervous about attending this event as I suffer from anxiety and it gets a lot worse when I'm around a lot of people I don't know. Not many people see this side to me as I'm usually pretty bubbly, but the event was such a big turning point for me. Everyone was lovely and chatty with only the sweetest things to say which has helped my confidence so much. I found by the end of the night I was happily chatting to people I don't know and didn't constantly think they were judging me, yay! Fabulous experience and I hope there will be loads more this year that I can report back to you all about.

I do have to say I did feel a little bit like the little mermaid in this outfit, but I loved it and had the best time at the event so a big thankyou to Stylight and Fashion Pills for inviting me along and allowing me to wear this incredible outfit.

Winter is Golden

Last year (still weird saying that as it was only 2 days ago but still) I did a gold themed shoot which has to be one of my favourite shoots ever. It was so much fun and my team were just amazing. You can still watch the Behind the Scenes Vlog of this shoot on my youtube channel inclusing make up changes and how i got this hair. But now I can finally show you some of the final images from this shoot. 

We produced two different looks, one much softer than the other but both equally amazing. I still can't get over how gorgeous the dress was and how well it fitted me, if it was mine I'd wear to bed. It's also so lovely when you work with people who put you at ease at make you feel like you're around friends, which I like to consider them as now. This is definitely one of the more smiley shoots I've done, so many giggles on this day and a very fond memory of 2014. This was the perfect shoot to do just before christmas, so much sparkle and magic and I cannot wait to do other big shoots this year. Need to push myself out my comfort zone more this year with shoots and see how far I can get. 

Dream big and believe in yourself. No one can reach your goals but you, so don't let anyone get in the way and tell you otherwise. The people who tell you that you can't do it...let them be your motivation and prove them wrong!
