NEXT blogger event

IMG_4799IMG_4809

Hi everyone! I was lucky enough to be one of the bloggers invited to preview the Next S/S11 collection in their headquarters in Leicester on Tuesday. The day was great, it was surreal to meet all these bloggers, some of them I admire a lot, and I felt really privileged to be among this group of stylish ladies!
First, while we were having a lovely breakfast, the Next buyers presented us the different trends that make up the new collection about to hit the stores.

Bonjour à tous ! J'ai eu la chance d'être invitée par la marque anglaise Next pour découvrir leur nouvelle collection avec d'autres bloggeuses mode ce mardi; durant cette journée nous avons également participé à un 'style challenge'; voici mes photos de cette super journée (pour voir un résumé en détails regardez la vidéo à la fin, vous pouvez également me voir parler de la tenue que j'ai choisie !)

My favourite one is definitely 'White Heat', with its lovely romantic blouses and sheer fabrics. I really enjoyed seeing all the moodboards, it's a great way to see where they got their inspiration from, as well as the key colours and fabrics they've used.

Two of my favourite pieces from the collection: I really want this top, it's just so cute; and this dress is amazing, such lovely details!

I met the lovely Jen from A Little Bird Told Me, and Sarah from We Shop Therefore We are, it was so nice to meet you both! :)

We all took part in a style challenge, we were given an item from the new collection, and we had to style it with clothes from the mock-up shop (how amazing is that, seriously?) and then we were photographed! Here is the outfit I came up with, I was given the floral flare trousers, and really went for a 70s look! What do you think? I quite like it!
Finally, here is a video of the day, with me talking about the outfit I made up in the second half; I must say well done to the person who edited this video because I said a lot of cr*p and the final version is really good (apart from the bad accent hehe) so thank you!
And thank you so much to Jenny for inviting me and to the Next team for organizing this great day, I had a fantastic time and cannot wait to see the pieces I loved in store!

Oh Iris, you sound great on the video, very French (understand very glamorous and stylish!). I like how you decided to style that jacket with the sheer blouse, intersting choice, but it definitely works out great! :)
