VFNO / VOGUES FASHION NIGHT OUT IN MANCHESTER

Gillet - h&m / Trousers - Charity Shop / Boots - Topshop / Bag - TKMaxx

Obviously i had to wear my sky scraper platform boots, it proved a little difficult going up and down the escalators in Selfridges all night, but i managed! 

Dress - Asos / Shoes - Ebay / Bag - Mango

Coat - Topshop / Jumper -h&m / Skirt - Zara / Bag - Asos

So we were wondering around and obviously wanted a drink, so why not hop on the free whiskey band wagon, On the rocks please!

With my girls at the free bar, this photo was taken from the super nice Emily Sheffield, Deputy Editor of British Vogue who stopped us for a photo... this made my night! We did get photographs taken for street style projects too, so we were all happy girlies.

Popcorn machines, hot dog machines and endless amounts of chocolate flavoured lager, Selfridges was littered with all sorts of goodies for the fashion night out. We jumped straight on the candy floss man, obviously, to get a sweet treat before having a look around at everything that was happening. Starting with Radio 1's Jameela Jamil doing an amazing dj set up on the 3rd floor, and finished with standing outside dancing around to the ice cream van shaped DJ booth. We unfortunately missed the amazing Made In Chelsea cast at Harvey Nicholls which we were absolutely gutted about, especially meeting the cheeky Jamie Laing. But on the plus side we got free champagne and there were lots of fun things going on around the store! 

I won't babble on about it too much as most of you have probably heard copious amounts about it, but i would definitely recommend going next year if you missed it this year, especially now its moved to Manchester! YAY!

Mink Pink 'Its All Happening Coat' Lusting

Modcloth.com

Ok so i couldn't help myself, i had to post about this A-mazing coat! I was doing a wishlish on Polyvore and browsing Mink Pink's new products and prints and i came across this earlier in the week. Mink Pink have just pulled it out the bag again, but when do they ever cease to amaze?? I love everything about it! 

This faux fur coat was designed by the talented Rachel Evans, also responsible for the other epic mink pink pieces, and just screams vintage mod!! It features a textured dark rainbow look all over with a fur collar, perfect for the fall in to winter and i am going to rave about this coat until i can pull some money out my bag to purchase it. After all who isn't skint these days!? The detail in this coat is ridiculous, you can see every piece of wool in every different hue, even the gold buttons and the silk navy lining are tip top. You can pick it up from Modcloth.com for $134.99 right here, so around 95-100 pounds. Just guessing though so don't take my word for that, you'll have to get Google on the case! 

Depending on how you like to wear your clothes determines which size, if your like me, you like oversized pieces, i'd probably get this is a medium or a large so it had even more of a vintage feel to it and even better to just 'throw' over your under dress!

I can imagine this being warn on a fall night's get together in a garden with the chimney fire blaring and the little lanterns dawning in the background with everybody drinking corona and listening to some epic tunes. Styling wise over a floaty cream or white maxi with some chunky boots. (Just describing this makes me want it even more).

I hope to post about this coat.. with me actually in it, in the future... I hope you like it too :)
