Merry Hill Autumn Winter Style Academy Event

I recently attended a style academy session at Intu Merry Hill, to celebrate their autumn/winter shopping event! Hosted by the wonderful Emily Jayne, myself and a few other bloggers popped along to my fave shopping centre in the Midlands, Intu Merry Hill for a style academy master-class on the new trends this season and how to wear them. Just outside of Birmingham Intu Merry Hill is a big shopping complex with food hall, cinema and of course lots of shops to explore, i love it as it has all of the best high street shops without having that 'hectic' feel to it! Emily had picked out trends from the shops inside the centre like River Island, New Look, Oasis and Boux Avenue, the 70's trend was one of my favourites as well as grunge (of course!) and i also spotted the most amazing shaggy gilet i need to go and try on! There was also big attention on accessories this season as they can transform a simple outfit, i loved the colourful handbags which are ideal to brighten up my often dark outfits, and the floppy hats and pointed studded shoes were awesome too.
As well as the fashion we were also given hair tutorials and tips on how to maintain and protect our hair, again having a sleek 'hair do' can tie a whole look together. After this we munched on Nandos which was so tasty, and had an embroidery class where we created our own studded collars to take away with us. I love the idea of the style academy as there's so much to learn about fashion, trends and beauty each new season, also this weekend Emily has been holding blogger master-classes in the centre too! We each took away our own style academy satchel with treats from the centre for completing the session, and i managed to fit a little shopping in on the night too as it's open until 9pm during the week :). Thank you very much to Merry Hill for having me!

The Monday Piece - Jimmi Jamms

This week's Monday Piece is on Jimmi Jamms! Getting cosy is my favourite thing when it gets colder and winter creeps in, chilled nights in with a film and snacks is just the best, and when i'm wrapped up in a super soft pair of pj's i go into hibernation mode - i am all about the comfort and if you can look good whilst taking time out then it's a double whammy! I've been in this pair of Jimmi Jamms all weekend, the pink, white and blue combo is so pretty and girly - and they're so soft and snug too. The bunny logo is super duper cute and they are of course ridiculously comfortable.

I chose a classic pair called 'The Heritage Set' and one of their signature hoodies, it's so much more than sleepwear as i've been lounging around in them and using them as my go to comfy outfit, they look and feel amazing! My sister popped over whilst i was chilling in them and almost stripped me of them...it's true...so she's going to pick a pair for herself off their website, i recommend you do too :) ! Sizing is spot on, i went for a small and they fit just right, hooray!

They have a selection of printed styles, all in pretty pastels and prints - as well as Jimmi Jamms pyjamas, they also sell loungewear, blankets and nighties, it's all ideal for lounging! The packaging is equally as cute and cool, as they come boxed in colourful milk cartons, i'm their new biggest fan and will be stocking up ready for winter, they also make the best idea for a gift!

Wrap Top

I'm quite the fan of a wrap top and this one from boohoo is no exception - they're quite 'smart' which i like, and i think they're so flattering, this loose style is also ideal for the weekends! Worn with my OTK booties, it's an easy grey and black combo i'll re-wear often.
