You know those 20million times – slight exaggeration – that I professed to try and branch out of my “black, black and even more black” comfort zone and wear more colour?… Yeah, so, I failed.
… And big time it seems as today’s outfit brings you literally nothing but the holy grail, mothership, saviour, lord beautiful colour that is black. What can I say? I am a boring bitch shallow excuse of a fashion blogger.
In slightly less disappointing – because obviously you are all devastated about my “failure to dress like a rainbow” – news I did manage to leave my pit where I spend 16hrs per day at least blogging, emailing, editing and repeating (basically, working) to make it down to the Debenhams AW15 Press day and my god was it worth it.
So, how about we get the boring stuff out of the way i.e what I slapped on my face and shoved on my body… and then we’ll head over to the press day and swoon over the coats/shoes/bags/accessories/all the stuff, together yeah? Great, let’s do it…
As well as the most ridiculously dreamy clothes and homeware, Debenhams also had a little deli – with free sandwiches, salads, the best elderflower apple drink I’ve ever tasted and so much more – as well as an Insomnia coffee kiosk (which will soon be sold in Debenhams if I’m correct… I’m probably not). Plus, gel nails… Debenhams, you did so, so well!
So, this brings me to the end of my little “Yo Debenhams, fancy being BFF’s”/boring OOTD/what’s on my face type post. I had such a lovely time at the event so I really hope you enjoyed reading about it.
I just wanted to quickly squeeze in an apology for a slight lack of/delay in posts. I’ve finally got my shit together transferred my custom domain, which is great. What isn’t great however, is the fact that Bloglovin take a lifetime to actually get back to you and transfer over the accounts on there. So apologies for any quiet periods, I promise – slightly shoddy – service will resume soon. 😉
What gorgeous photos – it was such a great press day!

I swear to god, if I wore what you did, I'd look like an absolute twat yet you look amazing! Swear you could wear a binbag and still look hot! How gorgeous are those flowers by the way? And the coats are lovely too.. although, I'm going to keep thinking (praying) about summer before I think about Autumn 😉 xxx
Sam // Samantha Betteridge
Haha oh Sam you are far too kind! oh god I know, I thought exactly the same thing, so weird to see autumn/winter clothes when summer hasn't even arrived yet 🙂
xx
the shoes you wore are gorgeous! also my favourite part would have been browsing all the home furniture as I love things like that, especially from Debenhams! x

Thanks lovely, good old Primark 😉

Ah the press show looked fab! I really wanted to make it but ended up working outside of London that day so couldn't get into central in time. The home ware looks dreamy! You look fabulous as always, nothing wrong with a bit of black! xx

Ah that's a shame Jasmin, it was actually amazing, they put on a fab display 🙂

I love your outfit even if it's black and I can't believe your Mules are from Primark (why do I never find anything good in there). This press release event looks amazing even if it is a little weird seeing autumn/winter stuff already x

They're so lovely aren't they, embarrassingly I totally forgot I even had them 😉

It's not even summer yet and this makes me sooo excited for the A/W season. There is just something about the darker fall colours that I love so much!
I also think I have the same Primark shoes as you! I was like ooh I love her shoes, I have similar ones and then oooh wait we have the same shoes haha!

I am so loving this look Elle, and were you just talking to the pigeon like that? Girl, you better not that do. Here in NYC, when you do that, they know the exact time to hit with you their poop all over your outfit lol. Thanks goodness I've never had that happen to me. And I simple love these fashion pieces. You always have something amazing on your blog, which is why I love visiting.
