Fashion Union are holding a Pin to Win contest - you basically set up a board on Pinterest and call it "'Fashion Union Pin It!" - in return you have the chance to win £150 to spend. I have bought from them before and like their clothing range and lately their site has become very good indeed. Being 39 now there are still items that I shall admire as my 20 yr old self but if you look around the site you will see some totally gorgeous items that are ageless in my opinion.
In no particular order I am in love (like REALLY in love) with:
I said in no particular order but when it comes to this item it is my first love. Already visualising over leggings, skinny jeans, leather trousers and/or a flirty floaty short black skirt.
Who doesn't love a retro looking parka? This is lightweight so it would be perfect for Autumn and in the winter you could pop a little other lightweight jacket on underneath. I can already see me on the school run in this, skinny jeans and brown knee high boots!
This is absolutely stunning - I want it, I need it! It would go with 99.9% of what I own in my wardrobe. I would mainly wear during the day over a summer dress for winter layering. I have a red dress I would wear this over and team up with some black biker boots - I love to mix up the masculine leather with girlie floaty dress.
I love this so much - I have leggings and faux leather trousers I would wear this with. Something that can so easily be dressed up or down for day or night. Adding a blazer and heels would transform it for the evening. Leggings and biker boots for a more casual day look.
These are fantastic - I would wear these with a long sleeved tshirt, oversized jumper and tan ankle boots. In the Spring/Summer they could be rolled up and worn with flip flops/ballet pumps/heels. Such a great colour
Have you been on their site? What did you love? Are you on pinterest too? I am!

Oh and by the way - this is not a sponsored post - I just fell in love with a lot of their stuff today and wanted to share!!
Hadn't heard of this site. Must take a look. I bought my daughter a pair of skinny jeans (my legs, sadly don't suit the trend for leggings/skinny jeans so past few season have been a struggle) in that purple colour- they are fab and more you can wear with them than I initially thought.
ReplyDeleteIt's a site for the young mainly BUT if you look hard there are some items for real women! Have you tried Dorothy Perkins skinny jeans? Women on avenue57 said that they didn't skinny jeans have found their ones really do suit .. it's a case of trial and error with skinny jeans!

ooh well done you've found some great buys there. I love both of those tops and like you I'd throw the over skinnies or leggins. Good luck with the comp (I might have a go myself) I'm quite liking Pinterest these days (still not convinced i'm doing it 100% right though). x
ReplyDeleteI've no idea if there is a science to it .. I'm sure there is but I just play away and it's just for me and I love it! I need to learn to step away from it as I get sucked in for hrs on end!
ReplyDeleteOff to play some more and order that top before they sell out and I kick myself!
Looks like your comments do work, but posting via laptop not mobile device. Great post btw. I am in the same boat - 30-something and love clothes! Got some great colourful skinnies from Gap recently.
ReplyDelete@mama-andmore - not sure how this will size up on a mobile so would be interested to see - thanks for taking the time to test out the comments - I'm pleased it works!
ReplyDeleteIt's SOOOO hard when you see so many lovely clothes but KNOW you're 10 years too old to wear! However, I had those days and wouldn't want to return. The key is to look hard and you will find.
I have heard great things about the GAP skinny jeans I should have a look. I'm after some boyfriend style jeans too and I heard they had some online - off to look, thanks for the reminder!

I've never heard of this site, so definitely going to have a look, as I really like your choices. Especially the jumper and skinny jeans .. v nice!
ReplyDeleteIt's really good but choose wisely! It used to look a lot less nicer than it does today - it's really grown up!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
Fiona
I've just had a look and the black dress I got excited about has sold out!!
ReplyDeleteWhich black dress @louise?
ReplyDeleteOr was it the one on the workwear post the other day?
Happy to help you find a black dress if you need one
Fiona
A Pinterest competition, fun, I will definitely check that out. Liking the parka (is it just me, or does Khaki Parka sound quite funny said out loud?) and the jeans.
ReplyDeleteI find that Primark skinnies are pretty good and they actually have them in long, which they never seem to have in any of their other trousers. And they are only £9! I am experimenting with dyeing them at the moment. I shall post results to Avenue57 later :)
LOL @Rebecca - khaki parka does sound weird out loud (just said it!) and in my head now you've pointed it out!!
ReplyDeleteI love Primark skinnies - I think for the price they're the best around and I have over 5 pairs!
