Project Bafta.

Yesterday was officially named project Bafta at Waceystyle headquarters!  As I was lucky enough to be one of three fab ladies fron the NHJ Style Team assisting the inspirational Katie Piper, get ready for her red carpet moment at the Bafta's.

I was in charge of Katie's hair, not a hard job as she has fab full bodied blonde hair, my colleague Isobel Kershaw was styling her outfit for the event and the lovely Tara Mears was make-up guru!  Isobel put Katie in a great floor length black gown by Jasper Garvida of Project Catwalk fame and teamed it with a yellow Ted Baker clutch and gold Topshop gladiator killer heels.  Tara created a smokey eye with great Estee Lauder products and Shu Uemura lashes and then a lush glossy lips.  To complete the look I roller set Katie's hair and then pulled it all to one side to create a relaxed sweeping up-do!  She looked sensational!

Katie was attending the awards as the channel 4 Documentary about her, Katie: My Beautiful Face was up for an award.  In the documentary Katie talks about the vicious acid attack that changed her face and her life forever and the gruelling recovery process that she is still going through to this day.

The documentary did not win, but Katie looked fab and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her and learn more about her fantastic charity The Katie Piper Foundation.  I hope to work with her again very soon.  I will of course keep all of you up to date with Katie and her charity... and will let you know when her new documentary comes out!

Katie looked sensational as you can see from my pictures below, she is also an absolute giggle and a natural in front of the camera. 

One with her rollers in and with the fab smouldering eyes (going to get me some Estee Lauder eye make-up)

With the fab camera lady Claire filming us taking pictures of Katy.  Claire and her colleague Zara were off to stake out on the red carpet to get film of Katy and the documentary team walking the red carpet!

Tara the magic make-up lady who every girl wishes was her flat mate!

She Means Business Event 2010 and Goody Bag Competition

The SHE means business event was held at HSBC Towers in Canary Wharf and the event was a great success. Myself and Mrs Make Do Style where there with the NHJ Style team and decided to both blog about different elements of the evening, but i apologise if there is some cross over! I also need to apologise for some of the photography.. after a glasses of bubbles it would appear that our photographic hands are not quite as steady.

The Fashion Show Work wear

Outfit 1: Animal print Jaeger Top worn with cream cigarette pant trouser from Next
This is a really easy way to introduce print into your wardrobe and stay cool in Summer add big glasses and over sized bag to make it your own!
Outfit 2: Military Jacket M&S worn with top and bag from Next.
Well done M&S this jacket is a great shape and bang on trend!
Outfit 3: Grey jersey dress from Wallis and bag from Boden.
Really great idea for a throw it on dress for summer, i would add a statement necklace and a coloured wedge to make a little more exciting.
Outfit 4: Stripey jacket from Next, Polka dot dress from Planet, shoes LK Benett.
What a great little office outfit.. instead of adding the obvious red mix in green or acid orange accessories.

I also have to mention a fab outfit in their work wear section that we could not get a pick of which was a Mint Velvet dress with a zip detail on the shoulder worn with a next wedge looked great.They also had a fab Audrey Hepburn Esq Grey work dress from Austin Reed, so if your in the look out for one pop over to see it!

We then moved into Evening Wear

Outfit 1: Grey Zip detail top M&S worn with Next trousers and LK Benett shoes.
This outfit is great for relaxed office to pub, or site seeing chic and easy to achieve.
Outfit 2: Sequin dress Planet and nude shoes Pied a Terre.
This dress is not my cup of tea at all! I am all for summer sparkle but this looks like all the wrong kind of coloured sparkle on one ill fitting dress!
Outfit 3: All in One M&S and fab Red wedges which annoyingly I did not write down the info for!
I love love love this outfit and want it want it want it. I was wearing an All in one on the night and we have decided this M&S one or the Topshop equivalent are the best. I am also kicking myself for not noting down the shoes i will continue my search! MDS is going to buy this outfit and she is going to look fab in it!
Outfit 4: Black dress with cream bow detail from Burnshaw shoes Pied a Terre.
Again not my cup of tea as it is a little obvious but the bow detail is quite cute!

Other outfit to mention strapless all in one from next with beading detail really easy to wear in the Summer.


Evening and Weekend Wear Continued

Outfit 1: Red dress by Burnshaw and shoes LK Bennett.
They also showed a black and white version of this dress which i HATED! But this little number had the wow factor.
Outfit 2: Denim shorts, white 'T' and boots from Next and chunky Knit cardigan from Jaeger.
Loving this outfit.. could not pull it off myself but if you have an athletic figure and a small bust wear it with some retro Sunny's!
Outfit 3: Stripey 'T', blazer and zip detail skirt all M&S.
This is a great little summer outfit for work or weekend. Wear a coloured wedge and add a floral print bag and it would be even more adorable.
Outfit 4: White Jeans M&S, animal print cardigan by Boden, Bag by Next and shoes LK Bennett.
Easy way to introduce print and it looks pretty chic.

Weekend Wear

Outfit 1: Stripey 'T' by Dorothy Perkins, Cardigan by Boden, Jeans by Next, Bag from Jaeger.
Want this bag make it mine!!!
Outfit 2: Green silk shirt by Jaeger, jeans and sparkle bag by Next, shoes LK Bennett.
Also want this bag... but this one i can actually afford! yay
Outfit 3: Stripey top by Dorothy Perkins and shorts by Boden
Great look with no effort! If you have shapely thighs keep shorts long if you have skinny pins wear them short!
Outfit 4 : Peach vest by M&S, Jeans by Boden, Hat by Planet and Scarf by Jaeger.
How cute is this outfit.? A hat always makes a statement and this one is easy to wear in summer with a print dress, jeans or at the beach!

The event was good fun and we got to meet some lovely ladies from all over the UK! The gorgeous girls from the fashion department at SHE who did not seem to mind us quizzing them on the new dynamics in the fashion department. Nicky Hambleton Jones who looked fantastic as ever, no sign of baby destroying this fashionistas style!
