George @ Asda A/W Blogger Event

I went to the George at Asda blogger event on Carnaby Street last night. The team put together an amazing evening showcasing the new A/W clothing line and party pieces from their online exclusive range, G21. I'll be honest I'd never heard of G21 before but after seeing that burgundy velvet and tulle dress it's a name I won't be forgetting. I want need that dress in my wardrobe, like now. The detailing on some of the pieces were just amazing, far beyond what you'd expect for the price. In terms of trends; baroque's back with a bang, alongside some snazzy sequins and iridescent, um, everything. There was an definite element of Gatsby-inspired embellishment on some of the pieces, which is all over perfect for the Christmas party season.
The George guys were kind enough to let us try on some of their winter knitwear to take a group photo in - so I now know what Christmas jumper I'll be buying / living in for the next three months. It looks like one of those over-sized vintage / stolen from my deffinitely not imaginary boyfriend jumpers that everyone will be wearing soon.
It was so much fun I literally felt like a princess; being surrounded by so much sparkle, having my hair done by a professional stylist whilst the caterers plied me with more cake than Marie Antoinette. Oh aaaand there was a chocolate fountain, oh yes, a chocolate fountain. Although I think I ended up wearing more chocolate than I did eating it.  Eh I have my clumsy moments, but I hold no ill will as it lead me to one of THE GREATEST scientifc discoveries of all mankind; chocolate and pretzels are an amazing combination - I should really copyright that before someone else does... wait, what do you mean they're already a thing?! Uhh this is like heat sensitive nail polish all over again -_-
Anywhoo I had an amazing evening viewing the new winter pieces, everything was so well put together and the caterers / cocktail crew were just fantastic, thanks everyone and thank you Siobhan for inviting me!

Velvet dr martens, ooft yeah.

Grfpfbgjdfmrdkdfs ...okay, wow.

Wait, more shoes?! Um yeaaah, but a girl can never have too many right?

 

How awesome are these boots? Like seriously, can this level of perfection be measured?!
I kind of just wana curl up in bed and cuddle them. Still can't believe they're mine... all mine, mwahaha.


Pretty purple boots and pretty purple fireworks aside, I was thinking of doing a Q&A post (excitement guys!) just for funsies, so it'd be awesome if you left a comment below with any questions you'd like me to answer. You don't have to take it too seriously, they don't even need to be fashion related... Anything from 'what did you have for breakfast this morning?' to 'hey spence, why do you always laugh at your own jokes?' (I'll answer that one now; err, because I'm hilarious ^.^ oh and totally modest about it, obviously) or even 'what's your social security number?' (okay maybe not that one) but yeah, be as creative as possible and I'll answer my faves in an upcoming post ... 'til next time folks!

over.and.out.
