Mini breaks, fair ground rides and sunshine fun!

Hello there lovely ladies! Are we all having a fabulous week? Now it's coming up to wedding season so why not take a look at the wardobe and nab yourself some pretty frocks to wear! 

www.londonfrockexchange.com




Didn't we have such a lovely sunny weekend? I had a wonderful break at my holiday home with the girls. Lots of giggles, cuddles and walking....and wine! Thanks my darlings.

What with Cannes and the Baftas recently, all the stunning gowns are coming out. Check out this one worn by our Carrie Bradshaw aka Sarah Jessica Parker. I love this shot! Resting with champers and she still looks so elegant and fun!


Marks And Spencers are doing some lovely collections right now as are Jaegar, All Saints and this beautiful dress by LV. Must have!

All Saints


M&S


LV

Jaegar

I also popped to the shops on Monday. Look these amazing two piece fun looks. I can't believe it, they're from Primani! (Primark!) Team with cool wedges or funky flip flops for day or zazz up for party time and pop on some strappy heels. Tribal, bright and perfect for this summer.




As is this shot I took at London Olympia. So fresh and fun! Bright limes and staple white crisp chinos. 


And then there was this lovely girl I spoke to. Her white vintage flowy two piece top and loose wide leg trousers were to die for. This pyjama look slash safari style is getting hot hot hot! Keep cool and covered for your holidays. Effortlessly understated.



What else should we be wearing? Try the pretty pastel 1950's look, high waisted trousers and shorts with little crop tops are a must and edgey cuts with floaty silk back panel jumpers and dresses. Add your cow boy festival fringing on t-shirts with your trusted aviator sunnies and gladiator sandals. Lots of t-shirts with writing on too makes for a fun and relaxed look. Add leather shorts and brogues for a geeky style.



Listening to- Lana Del Ray, beautiful West Coast song, can't get enough! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3SqUUoJjW8
Wearing- over sized sport luxe long sleeved sweat shirt, hareem pants and havianas and for work and out and about I'm mostly in my thick striped chunky heeled Zara heels, collottes and jungle print t-shirt cropped top. Adding a bit of length to my locks too and clipping in my hair extensions. Might need to dye my hair though, hence the hat!


Using- my delicious Facial Rescue from Rhodes To Heaven. Silky soft smooth skin that regeneratesthecellskeeping me looking bright and young! Here's me and the gorgeous Kk at the show last week.


Went- spent a fabulous day at Paulton's Park a few weekends ago for my darling god daughter's birthday. Sarah and I did all the rides with the kids and had a blast!


Gearing up for our event in a couple of weeks. Want a ticket? Message me now! bethany@londonfrockexchange.com

Until next time Super Swishers!

Skip into Summer and Save the Date!

Hello lovely ladies! What is with this drizzle over the last few days? I have gone back to my trusted dark colours I am afraid with my big knit cardi; however I am still donning my flip-flops even though it is wet and gloomy!

We had such a fabulous night with our first Swishing Party. Thank you to all my gorgeous women who came! We got some wonderful new dresses in so they'll be popping onto the website soon! Here's just a little sneaky glimpse of what's to come! Such a tease!




With some wine and bubbles to sip on, we all sat round gossiping everything fashion and girly then browsing the collections and trying on! By popular demand, clients who couldn't make this one have asked for more, so we'll be making this a regular occasion! Had lots of people taking their new frocks home and it was a great way for one-on-one styling. One beautiful lady was very reluctant to try on a dress she really loved because she didn't 'think' it would suit or fit her. With my professional styling expertise, we both scurried into the dressing room and voila! It fit like a glove and she looked stunning! Rule is, if you don't know, try!!!


 Me on the night! 


As you would have received in your monthly newsletter we are also planning a great event in June! Think of it as a big Summer launch if you will. We have booked a beautiful venue where you'll be invited to spend an afternoon being styled and pampered. I will be there giving a short but detailed seminar where I'll be demonstrating how to wear lots of frocks in different ways depending on your style, colouring, body shape and occasion - day to night, office to party, casual to smart etc.

We'll have lots of hand picked accessories on hand also - everything from shoes to belts, handbags and jewellery so you can see what looks can shine through, simply by adding something a little extra. See yourself in something you always thought might look bad, we have the guidance and knowledge to make you feel great and look a million dollars this Summer. Personal styling and assistance by me after the show. Great way to meet London Frock Exchange and other fellow Swishers!

(Here is me power dressing for my meeting with the venue! One can only wear a bold bright white jacket if the sun is out!)


I'll be sending out invitations soon so I hope you can make it! Save the Date: 14th of June! 
And if you are not on our mailing list, get in touch and register or contact me directly at bethany@londonfrockexchange.com for more information.

And just a little something I stumbled on whilst visiting my sister in Frome. They have some gorgeous vintage and antique boutiques there. Loved popping into Donna May Vintage and Lark Vintage. Such wonderful frocks and accessories. Was such a pleasure meeting Donna and Hayley too - thank you! Will be visiting again soon!


Neon pink heart from Lark Vintage. I want one!

Speak to you soon!

Spring in Style

Well I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend full on chocolate and long walks with family. I got a lovely visit from my beautiful neices, finding heart shaped stones on the beach as usual!


And I also got a lovely afternoon and evening in with my darling Dan from Last Style Of Defense http://www.laststyleofdefense.com/. The sun was out and we both got a little tan! Lush!




Having our first ever Swishing Party at the Frock Shack tomorrow night so I have been excitedly making everything look beatuiful. Just a few last minute things to get but ready and waiting for my lovely swishers. Should be a great night of fun and frocks! I'll tell you all about it next time!

And we booked our wonderful venue for our Fashion and Styling Seminar in June! Booked the gorgeous models too and so now just to pick out all the lovely frocks and accessories! Message me if you want a ticket!

And finally look who is wearing a very similar dress to our stunning, very own Vintage Summer Frock  http://www.londonfrockexchange.com/frocks/frock/220/ ? None other than the very understated and elegantly stylish Kate Middleton. Love the teaming of simple wedged sandals and flowing hair. You could steal this look! Hurry before it goes!


 (Picture- Daily Mail)


Carrying on the theme of sister selfy, grabbed this one last week! Very silly sisters indeed! 



Loving my boho boyfriend jeans look here. I added a funky earring and light weight floral slip jacket for an ultra cool, dressed down look. If you are going to go baggy on the bottom, choose a tighter fitting top and add bursts of Summer fun with florals, prints or bright coloured cardigans or jacket.



Quotes of the week- 

'The soul often speaks from longing'
'You can learn from mistakes or mentors.' Do you agree?

Until next time Swishers!
