Press Day Fun

After a mad dash across the bright lights of Picadilly Circus I finally arrived at the press day for Nicole Levy PR. With a full box of Krispy Crème donuts to choose from and the recent hyped up coconut water I began to browse the rails. Nicole Levy’s clients include London Lashes, Beach Riot, London loves LA and Dirty Pretty Things just to name a few.
 

I was a fan of the London loves LA collection, these items are a jersey, American style (clue is in the name) brand worn by cool kids such as Harry Styles and Ellie Goulding. With baggy Tees, basketball jerseys and American sport jackets this brand is in the now in terms of the laid back, cool, sporty look. All the popular kids in America are wearing this and so should we, and at such an affordable price I am happy to jump on the bandwagon.

If any of you lucky girls are jetting off somewhere exotic for Christmas then I definitely recommend Beach Riot. The luxury swimwear brand are literally bursting with colour with neon items all over the place. Celebrity fans include Ellie Goulding and the controversial Miley Cyrus. I suggest Beach Riot to the girls who are a little more daring than the polka dot bikini kind of girl. There were some incredible strapless items which I am definitely going to start saving for ready for my summer holidays. Ellie Goulding has been seen wearing one of the black, cut out swimming costumes at her show in Manchester so if you’re super daring these can be worn in an evening outfit.

Lashes of London, completely flipping it in relation to Beach Riot. This cutesy brand is super girly including playsuits, dresses and lots of pastel colour. Don’t get me wrong, the items are definitely in style but they are definitely sugar coated. You won’t find Miley Cyrus wearing this brand but current girl group Little Mix seem to love it. There is a few leather items which were definitely standing out especially the mix of black and white leather to create the perfect monochrome look. Best of all, its stocked in Topshop so it is available on our door step.

 

Ladies, this is the perfect Christmas gift... to yourself. I have a thing for underwear shopping so this brand is right up my street. With lace bodies and tiny thongs with matching bra and suspenders I could have bought it there and then. With a lot of black and neon colour with the occasional appearance of animal print there is something for everybody whether you’re a minimalist girl or you love to indulge in something bold and bright. Really, this is a treat for yourself more than anything.

Finally, Muther of All Things is a sporty swimwear brand with the added sex appeal. If you can’t surf yet you better book some lessons because this brand is enough to get you into it (even if it does mean flailing around in the sea for an hour or so) at least you will look good doing it. This is an Australian brand which oozes surfer chic with laser light prints across a range of dark colours. High necks in some costumes to keep you all ‘tucked in’ and some squared style bikinis.

Some great brands to check out here, there is something for everyone so keep your eyes peeled.
