FASHION/ Weekly Style Round Up
The celebs are already sporting some fabulous festive looks for December this week! Hope they continue their A game for the whole month so I have some more looks to lust over…
Kimmy Style
My first thought looking at these pics was ‘she’s wearing the same shoes, praise!’ I don’t think I’ve EVER seen her do that, but I like that she has a fav pair like us mere mortals! I also like this block colour trend she’s working in both, she’s been doing this a lot more lately, it looks really chic and polished. Camel is such a luxurious colour for looking glam anyway. I read somewhere that her camel dress cost just $19 too, I’d like to snap that bad boy up if there’s any left!
Angelic Divas
Khlomoney had captured my fashiony heart again – such a simple outfit done in delicate textures with shimmery pale tones like some sort of sexy winter princess, I’d totally wear this!
Jenna looks more girly with the pattern of the cut outs but I just adore the look, still working a bit o sexaaay (well, she IS Mrs Magic Mike) with the low front and sheer panelling. Winter whites ahoy ladies!Suits You
I know Roch is technically in a suit, but the skin tight trouser/blazer/thigh highs in all black err thang just…..nope, I’ve gone……
Portia’s look is more masculine tailoring done with a feminine twist. I ADORE the check and that its monochrome, it could possibly be too much withe matching shirt but I like that as it’ll still be a co-ord type look when she takes the jacket off. If I was wearing it though I’d either go classic with a plain white shirt, or colour pop with a Scarlett red one. I’d definitely keep her gorge colour pop lip though, as you know I’m always rambling about how I like a good lippyChic n Cosy

These looks both kind of feel a bit blogger actually, that’s probably why I’m such a fan! If anyone knows where I can get Nic’s cape, I neeeeeed it in my life. It’s such a good piece to chuck on over anything to look more polished and together (even if you’re not underneath) another monochrome thumbs up!
I’ve passed over faux fur for years. Right now I’ve limited myself to just two in my wardrobe (I know, totes restrained right?) but I’m always seeing more I want and Rita has reignited my longing to grow my fluffy collection! Glamorous have some really funky coats at the moment similar to Rita’s so take a looksie if you feel like recreating her look. Those gold tipped boots are such a cool touch too.
Just a quick word about the hats – they’re a lifesaver for covering a rubbish hair day whilst keeping you looking stylish. I live in mine!Best of the Rest
I’ve never seen an article of clothing in quite this shade of green that Pixie is rocking here, obviously she’s experimenting after being inspired by her Strictly stint (that’s UK Dancing With The Stars for my US readers). It’s quite striking for the dark winter nights and really pops against the black, these pieces are gorge and it feels very fashion forward for me. Win!
All hail Queen Bey!! This is the archetypical chic evening glam we’re used to seeing, and why mess with a winning formula? Gorgeous colour against her skin tone, also one of my fave colours for the A/W season every yearWhich looks have been your fave this week? Get I. Touch and let me know. But, before I leave you, we have important business to discuss…..
COMPETITION WINNER
This week I’ve run my first ever giveaway. A fabulous goody bag filled with some of the goodies I enjoyed in my gift bag at the #HullBloggers event last week. Thanks for all that entered – if you like this blog you should search for my fellow Humber blogging gals on Twitter using #HullBloggers after all, you did all say you heart them did you?? Hehe. I think almost everybody that entered has some sort of connection with Hull so it’s also awesome that, like me, you like supporting local passion, so big SMOOCH for that! I played fair with picking a winner – all the names were written out and out into my standard blogger issued fedora, which was then handed to Mr Alice for home to close his eyes and pick a winner

Fashion. Food. Fun/ #HullBloggers Meet
Most people have work Christmas party in December, but as a blogger you can often work on your own so you don’t one to go to. But this year…we held our own very fabulous, festive and fun event that was better than any Christmas do I’ve ever been to! I’ve got to be honest though, I didn’t get as many or as quality pics as Id have liked because I was far too busy enjoying myself…probably not what a blogger should say, but sometimes you just have to be in the moment and not behind a lens I think.
I had the privilege of being able to help out with the organising alongside Jaye and Alex, it was soooo nice to meet them in person at long last! Both are gorgeous and lovely and so on it with everything, I was in awe of them all day
We held the event at Fudge (http://www.fudgefood.com) in the vibrant Princes Avenue area of Hull. It’s one of my personal fave places to eat, mainly because I’m obsessed with their baked goods…now we’ve had the event I can no longer justify my weekly visits as ‘conducting extensive event research’ can I! The decor was effortlessly girly with some festive touches which was perfect. We also had some balloons and bunting from our charity ‘Look Good Feel Better’ (http://www.lookgoodfeelbetter.co.uk). We put the Christmas themed goody bags on each attendees chairs but also couldn’t resist putting a few under the tree
We had such a jam packed meet, and had the pleasure of some of the brands involved coming down to join us to demonstrate their products first hand. We had the ladies from Arbonne join us to give us a demo of their cosmetics (that I learned were used in the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland film – as Curious Alice, this excited me muchly!) this is Ria from Dribbles and Giggles testing out
We also had some quirky scents to demonstrate from The Library of Fragrance, who knew Rain smelt so fabulous?!?! And we had a cheeky game courtesy of Greedy Box and a lash/beauty demo by the girls from Younique
We had an beautiful afternoon tea, total food and girly heaven for me
The raffle was a hugely successful – we have soooo many amazing prizes to give away to raise money for our charity and we are hugely grateful to each and every company who were able to take the time and effort to get involved and help. Everyone was really pleased with what they won! You can see the wins in full on my Instagram/Twitter feeds. I was lucky enough to win two prizes by A Novel Gift and Sole Wish (I’ll be posting the latter as soon as I get it)
It now feels like Christmas has come early in my house with my prizes and wonderful gift bag from the event! Gifts, samples, vouchers and leaflets…some of my faves and lots of newbies for me to get to know. I’m one happy blogger
This is what was inside…..

FASHION and FUN/ The Clothes Show Live
I can’t believe it’s taken me THIS long to attend such a fashion institution in this country! Myself and Mama Alice road tripped down (it took 3hrs, including a 50mile detour where she’d gotten distracted and missed our turning) to take it all in and do some shopping

(this pic was taken when it was still dark)My OOTD
I forgot to take an actual picture as it was too dark when we set off both ways, and we were too busy exploring when we were there! But this is what I wore
I was going for a casual and funky 90s kinda vibe, whilst staying warm yet comfy for a busy day. You’ll recognise these pieces from previous blog posts, the polo neck jumper is part of a co-ord so I have another piece to mix it up with too
Trousers- Next http://www.next.co.uk/g40114s3
Top- ITS by Lauren Pope (also comes in cobalt) http://www.inthestyle.com/by-lauren-pope-pink-roll-neck-co-ord/
Shoes- Converse http://www.schuh.co.uk/womens/converse-all-star-oxford-black-trainers/1902727070/The Event
The highlight of our day was the fabulous catwalk show, anyone that’s as obsessed with Fashion Week as I am always enjoys a few pretty things sashaying down a runway!
The whole show gave my the chance to check out some of my old favourite brands and also discover some new ones…only thing was, we did a bit too much discovering and ended up not leaving enough time to buy and left pretty much empty handed 😳 the shame of it!
Obviously the pics are a little more candid than I usually use in a post as they were being snapped on the run! I bought a gorgeous electric blue polish by Binky London which I’m looking forward to trying out at my next big event (more of that to come later) and I spotted Binks’ MIC co-stars Proudlock, Stevie and Spencer on my travels. Would’ve been awesome to see Lauren Pope and Charlotte Crosby at the ITS stand but we missed them. I also really wanted to see Kelsey at the Hey Dolly stand and Millie Mac at hers but managed to miss them as well…gutted!
I’m so glad I’ve been and experienced this! But now, I move on to the next exciting adventure of my weekend…
But the time most of you read this post, I’ll be attending/co hosting the #HullBloggers meet! I’m super excited!! I can’t wait to finally meet everyone face to face and swap blogging stories. As you may have seen earlier in the week, I’ve already posted about the meet and some of the wonderful brands we have working with us, and I feel incredibly luck to also welcome a couple more on board with us (Hull legends no less!)
American Chip Spice http://www.americanchipspice.co.uk (if you don’t know about this beauty already, follow the #HullBloggers posts and you sure will!)
Little Bird Boutique @LilBirdBoutique
Make sure you check in with my Twitter (@IamJennyChat) and Instagram (thisisjennychat) throughout Sunday for postings before during and after the event, as well as searching all the attendees posts using #HullBloggers
Thanks for reading, and as always

WHAT ELSE? / Friends, THATS What!
Not my usual type of post, but I feel like it’s needed. It’s December; I’m not quite feeling festive yet but I sure am feeling sentimental and I didn’t want to wait until the very end of the year when everyone does it. I’m a rebel! But a stylish one. I think.
This year has been a little bit tough in some ways – I won’t bore you with how, but it’s not been my finest hour. Despite that, it’s been a year in which I’ve been more sociable than I have for a loooooong time! I’ve had fun at race days, birthday celebrations, hen parties, weddings, coffee catch ups, girly lunches and more. I can honestly say that those times have been my saviours, a real release to have a good time when other things have felt not so good. I’ve gotten to know some lovely new people, some of whom are now friends, and reconnected with people I haven’t seen for a while which has been lovely. It’s also been a year that’s showed me who my true friends are, who I can rely on, and for those I know I can count on I’m truly grateful I hope they know I have their back as well! These are just a select few of the great times I’ve had
I wish I’d have taken more pictures this year though, I guess it proves I was too in the moment and enjoying myself to worry about that. I feel lucky to
have my family too, especially my amazing Mr Alice who is my rock alwaysAnd this is the newest addition to the family, my baby nephew Bruce! (His name isn’t really Bruce. Long story.)
I feel really fortunate to have discovered my passion for blogging too! It combines my addictions to fashion and charting perfectly. I’ve enjoyed finding and getting to know other bloggers a little better, and I’m super excited to be attending the #HullBloggers meet this weekend (the day after attending my very first Clothes Show, woooo!) and getting to know my local blogging gurls better as well as reviving my enthusiasm for 2015. I’ve been a bit quiet on the style listing front for the last weeks, but intend to be back OOOOON IT with a vengeance in the new year so keep your stylish eyes peeled! Here’s a little reminder of some of my looks from this year
From the bottom of my heart, I thank every single person that’s taken the time to read my posts from all around the world this year, your support keeps me smiling! I won’t to grow, improve and evolve Curious Alice Loves… so much more and I can’t wait to see where that will take me in the future.
To finish The Beatles quote from the first pic “I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends”. I hope you all have some great memories from 2014 as you look back- hold onto those as your strength to move forward and past the rest.
Enjoy your festive season whatever you’re doing 🎄🎁🎅🎉🍷🍴 and above all….
