I’m a long time fan of fashion, the #Lorraine show and stylist Mark Heyes – so how excited do you think I was that they pitched up in Hull to announce some of the nominees for the annual High Street Fashion Awards…er, very! I dragged my friend Tammy along to see the catwalk and grab a ‘quick’ coffee…5 hours and several shopping bags later we finally went home, oops! I managed to take a few quick snaps of each nominee (you can see the entire VT on ITV player or on the Lorraine website  Here)

 This is our newly crowned #MissHull Maryann helping Mark, who we’re all rooting for to go all the way at the #MissEngland finals later this year.

Best Premium Brand Nominees

 Coast 
I’m dying over this dress! Shop it Here. I also came across these two beauties on their site, so chic and fashion forward  

Reiss  Monochrome, print…it’s a winner to me! And these shoes….this is an outfit that’ll last well into A/W. Click to shop before they go! Jacket, Trousers and Shoes.

Whistles   
 A fave brand of a certain #DuchessOfCambridge, I can’t quite see her rocking these flatform #sandals though! Great #tropical print for #summer but done in #monochrome to keep it classy. Shop the Skirt similar Top and Shoes

 Ted Baker One of my fave brands for a long time! This outfit is perfect for a wedding or #graduation for my fellow students (which isn’t long now, yay!)  you can shop the Dress and Shoes on their site.

 French Connection This is the way to do S/S using a darker tone – I couldn’t get a good enough pic of the model for this look, her strut was quick as well as fierce! Click to see the Skirt, Top and Sandals. There’s also a matching Top to this #skirt is you really wanted to go full on with this print and make it a #coord.

 I also got to have a little chat with Mark- as one of the inspirations for starting my blog it was lovely to meet him and learn how lovely (and funny) he really is! Luckily I also brough my Selfy Stick which came in handy for getting some group shots
