OMG Fashion: Behind the scenes

Yesterday I was kindly invited to Manchester with fashion blogger Sian from 'The Fashionable Life Of'' to attend the latest photo shoot for the OMG Fashion website. We were shown around the studio and then allowed to help style the models for the shoot. It was a fantastic experience and I've learnt that I make a better stylist than I thought. 

Their latest clothing line is full of sparkles, beautiful evening dresses and lots of cosy jumpers. Having browsed the OMG Fashion website frequently in the past, I really think that their latest batch of clothes are the best I've ever seen. There are so many beautiful prints and bang on trend styles. There's everything from tartan to leather, sequins to glitter and everything in between. Here's a few of the outfits I selected for the models:

I love this first outfit, it looks really British and quite sophisticated. The tartan dress can easily be dressed up or down and at £14 it's an absolute bargain!

This cutaway dress is so cute and looks really flirty.

This is by far my favourite outfit and I had the figure to pull this off, i'd be buying this outfit straight away. The shorts are incredibly cute and teamed with a bodysuit it's great for a night out. The chunky jewellery added a statement piece and finished the whole outfit off perfectly.

The winter is getting closer and it's the time of year where we really need to consider wrapping up, even though its not always the most glamorous look. This wetlook jeans and jumper combo looks stylish, sleek yet comfortable. You can dress down the outfit wearing flats or wear Jeffrey Campbell inspired booties like the model to add a laid back, yet sophisticated appeal.

Glitter is a serious investment piece this season and this jacket will promise to make you stand out in a crowd of people. I've got a jacket very similar and every day I get compliments.

I had a fantastic day with the OMG team and if I ever had the opportunity to go again, I would say yes in a heartbeat. I'm loving all the new clothes this season and I predict my purse strings loosening within the next weeks.

Would you buy any of these outfits?

Zara Autumn Wish list

"Buy me Gucci, buy me Prada, buy me Louis, buy me Zara"

 Wide boys, Shoppaholic.

Zara is usually a hit or miss store with me. One day I'll be splashing the cash, grabbing nearly every item in store and the next I'll go in and see nothing I really fancy. Zara's clothing is more for the edgy, urban woman so sometimes they're outfits are a little bit too flamboyant for more liking, however this season has really grabbed my attention and got my mind thinking about nothing, but Zara clothing.

If I had enough money right now i'd be coming out of Zara with more bags than my arms can hold, but being a student it's impossible to make my dreams a reality. Therefore, I've compiled a little list of items I may be able to afford in the future. Unfortunately I will probably only be able to pick one or two when I next get paid, but some Zara in my wardrobe is better than no Zara.

My wish list is composed of six items that I think will make the perfect Zara capsule wardrobe for the autumn and items that will go hand in hand with each other. The first item on the list is the beautiful leather shopper. Priced at £89.99 it's a little bit on the expensive side, but Zara bags generally make great investment pieces. I'm torn between this bag and the other that I have mentioned in my collage, the leather bag with metal tab. This bag is even more expensive, but has such a classic, long lasting design. It evokes a sense of rock'n'roll and if there's anything type of music that I love, i'm a die hard heavy metal fan.

The third picture in the collage is the Zara coat I've been lusting after since Sunday. This coat has remained in my mind ever since I left Chester and I'm dying to try it on again. The coat fits like a glove, it's really slimline and looks like it would be great for every season. I don't think anyone could go wrong with a classic red coat. Teamed up with the leather motorbike leggings and those red asymmetric kitten heels, I think it would be the perfect outfit to get me through the autumn weather.

Have you shopped at Zara lately?
