The Monday Piece - Jeanography

Today's Monday Piece is on Jeanography and the 'Fit First Time' trial. Jeanography is an online denim boutique designed to match women up with their ideal denim style, cut and size - it's well known that different shops and brands have their own denim styles, and almost all of them fit differently so it can be tricky finding a pair online, that you like and want to order, and that will fit you just how you like them!

Jeanography and their Fit First Time programme, allows you to log onto their website, fill in your size details and personal denim preferences which creates your own personal profile, you can then browse the site and add three pairs of jeans to your basket, or just add two and a personal stylist will select a third pair. The size that is right for you is highlighted, and if your size isn't availabe the next best size is offered. The range of denim is huge, ranging from Hudson to True Religion, it's a luxury denim service so is fab if you're wanting to invest in a pair of jeans that will last you years. Once you've chosen the styles you want to try, the stylist calls you to make sure you're happy with what you've chosen, and they can also offer you any extra advice on how the jeans will fit or if any adjustments need to be made to your order.

The jeans are put on order and at this point you're not charged anything as it's a trial service - updates regarding shipping follow and they are usually despatched same day for next day delivery. When they arrive you can have a good feel of how they fit and what they look like, you can then decide if and what you want to keep, and return the unwanted pairs by courier.

I've trialled the service and was very happy with the service provided! I'm short with wide hips and a bum so it's not easy finding denim to fit and i usually avoid ordering online, but the Jeanography Fit First Time service was so easy to use, and really helpful too as all the sizes were chosen for me based on the dimensions i uploaded to my profile. I chose to trial the Hudson jeans Leelo super skinny in black and white floral, True Religion Halle super skinny in black, and True Religion Halle super skinny in Lonestar. I really struggled choosing which pair i liked the best - the blue True Religion pair and the Hudson floral pair were my favourites as they both fit so well! However i finally chose the Hudson pair, the print is cute and they have a black strip down the side so are ultra slimming - they're girly but grungy and feel amazing - right up my street.
As well as the Fit First Time service, all the jeans are available to buy normally, and they have a huge sale too!
Which pair is your favourite?

Selfridges #denimlovers photos

Here are the photos of the Hudson jeans from the Selfridges #denimlovers blogger shoot for the Birmingham Mail. Myself and Natalie (the denim expert) giggled all the way through the photos, you can see my teeth in every picture! I cannot get enough of these jeans, the fit, the style, the colour - you can find them here, definitely an investment piece. I recommend popping into your local Selfridges to have a nosey at the different styles of denim they currenly have, there's a style to suit everyone, plus there's competitions in store, as well as on their Twitter page.
Let me know what you think of the jeans and photographs :).

The Monday Piece - Selfridges #denimlovers blogger photo shoot

This week's Monday Piece is on a Selfridges photo shoot i attended last week. Selfridges have a huge campaign running this Summer, and it's all about denim. If you follow them on Twitter you may have seen the hash tag #denimlovers floating around, fronting the campaign are Brit beauties Jourdan dunn and Rosie Tapner who look nothing less than sensational in their denim styles! I was asked along, with six other Midlands based bloggers, to Selfridges in the Birmingham Bull Ring to take part in a photo shoot for Selfridges and the Birmingham Mail.

I was a little apprehensive as i'd not done anything like this before, when i arrived i was taken to the gallery champagne bar for a little drink with the other bloggers. We were then taken to the plush fitting rooms where our Denim Expert, Natalie, had chosen some styles for us to try on - i loved all 5 styles she had chosen for me, my favourite being a pair of bright blue Hudson Jeans in a distressed style, you can find them here. So after i popped these on i went downstairs to Illamasqua to have my make up done by the lovely Andrea, she kept it very simple and natural (as you may know i only wear a little bit of make up), so it was fab! After this it was time to have the photos taken with the other girls, the photographer Adam was so funny and gave us a little gossip from the fashion world! It was such a fun afternoon, everyone from Selfridges was amazing and made me feel so comfortable and at ease.

I think it's due to go in the Birmingham Mail on the 26th July, i'll be uploading more snaps of the jeans asap so you can see them in all their glory. You can check out the Selfridges #denimlovers campaign here, and they currently have a competition running where you tag yourself on instagram wearing your favourite denim, tag it with #denimlovers and you're in with a chance to win a designer pair of jeans and your picture in the front window of the store!
I thought it would be nice to share some pictures i took on my phone from the day, i hope you like them :).
