PRETTY YOUNG THING : sequin

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

A FRAME- I like these Ribba ones from Ikea

some card

scrabble letters (i got mine from the works)

confetti or sequins and little decorations

Glue, I used super glue

1. Get a piece of white card and cut to size, you want this to fit in your frame and this will make your background. The ribba frame from Ikea has one of those card things in so I just used this.

2. Play around with your decorations and card etc and come up with a design that you like. I love the scrabble tiles and think they look really good. You can personalise your frame to say anything. Mine says Jack which is my friends baby and I've made this to hang in his nursery. You could write Mr and Mrs for a recently married couple or you can write someones pets name. You really can personalise this so many different ways. I got my white wooden J off ebay for £1!! Your local craft shop should have lots of cool decorations and inspiration.

3. Once you have decided what your going to do you need to stick it all down. Be carefull if using super glue as I did manage to stick my fingers together. I would recommend using PVA however for heavier items you may need something stronger.

4. Pop it all back into the frame and check it all looks okay!

5. Wrap it up carefully and pop a bow on the top ready to gift to your friend!!

Before I went away on holiday I was invited to the Very Bloggers photography fashion event, I responded straight away and was so excited to go. It took place in Liverpool so I got up very early to attend after my long train journey I arrived in liverpool and made my way to Very HQ.

After meeting the lovely Chyaz from www.chyaz.com , Sarah from www.sequinthis.com and Sarah from www.fashiondotty.com we had a tour of the very.co.uk hq which was massive ! From here we headed over to the studios.

We had a look at some of the latest collections from Love Label and Definitions and got to pick two outfits that we would get to wear for our photoshoot. We then went into hair and make up where we got to have a play with the latest collection from Love Label, I'm wearing one of the lipsticks that comes in a pack of three. Both Sarahs had their photo's done before me and the lipstick lasted the whole time and looked amazing in my photos, i'm very impressed.

I picked a gorgeous little gold sequin skirt and a Black lace bomber jacket to team together which I think looked rather. The jacket was really comfy and I loved the skirt I would wear it with a black jumper in the winter with tights and boots or with a simple cami for a night out, it's so versatile.

My other outfit was a PU leather dress that I fell in love with. It's so simple but effective, I teamed it with this gorgeous necklace and some heels.

I love the final images and will do a blog post with a selection of the photos. Here's a few behind the scenes photos and you can also watch Very's own behind the scenes video below.

I had an amazing day and met some lovely people and I would like to thank Miriam and the rest of the team who made the day great :)
