Workwear Wednesday! #MCRFW

Every Wednesday the Manchester Fashion Week 2013 website and bloggers will be hosting Workwear Wednesday featuring some of the best dressed offices in the North to provide us all with some style inspiration!

I also noticed this week that the guys over at #MCRFW HQ have been sharing the love for the one and only jewellery brand Jon Richard! I am of course already a fan as I am currently on a PR placement at the Jon Richard head office in Manchester, helping out the lovely PR ladies with their demanding workload! I also bagged a job at their Liverpool concession in Debenhams (...love jewellery much??) so I know the brand inside out and it is great to see them getting some much deserved recognition! (Psssst.... They also have a massive sale on right now to coincide with Debenhams Mega Week Sale! At least 20% off all ranges! Snap up some Christmas bargains early!) 

Check out what #MCRFW had to say about them here.

Now, getting back to my post, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to share the type of outfit I would wear to a day at the office! 

In these difficult times- talks of double dip recession, unpaid placements, possibility of retirement in our golden years seeming like an impossible dream! - we are having to work ourselves that little bit harder! But its not just us having to go that extra mile- our wardrobes are feeling it too!!

At the moment a lot of thought has to go into my outfits as I am sometimes going straight from one commitment to another and need to find something 'neutral' to carry me right through. A perfect example is this Friday, I am in the office all day, on the concession in the evening and possibly will drop into the boyfriends after my shift. Normally, that would provide me with the opportunity to create 3 different outfits, but as I am literally going from one to the other (and do not fancy lugging my wardrobe with me!) I have to choose wisely! 

To get me through the day with minimal effort on the outfit front I have gone with the following...

 Dogtooth Shirt, New Look Charcoal Skirt,  H&M, Studded Shoes, Matalan, Statement Necklace, Dorothy Perkins

The outfit is lacking a little in colour- I admit- but I shall blame that on the department stores dress code! However, it is the perfect base to dress up or down! For the office I will brighten it up with a nice bag and a blazer, and for the boyfriends I will just swap the studded flats for some nice ankle boots.... and VOILA! 

1 outfit x 3!

Now over to you Fallowers! Who else is having to multi-task their looks? Share your ideas, I would love to hear them! 

Much Love! Xxx  

Exciting News... #MCRFW 2013!

Last night I posted that I would have an exciting announcement to make, and boy do I!

I have been DYING to share this for a little while now and I am really, really excited!!!

.... drumroll please....

Fashion Fallows has been selected by Manchester Fashion Week organisers as one of their influential blogs for 2013- meaning I will be covering the event next March! Amazing, right?!

I was so honoured to be approached to do this as it is such a fantastic event and showcases some of the best fashion brands and talent that the North has got to offer! Being a nothern girl myself, I am in full support of anything that showcases the awesome fashion talent we have up here!

I actually took part in MCR Fashion Week 2012, helping out last years sponsors Missguided during their fashion show and it was an incredible day! I got to see some amazing clothes and everyone who attended the event really enjoyed themselves! Of course last year I was technically working so didn't get to see as many of the catwalk shows as I would have liked, so I am SO excited to be coming to the 2013 event as a guest and be able to take everything in!

Check out this video of the 2012 event to get an idea of what MCRFW 2013 has in store!

 

I hope you are all just as excited as me!!

 

I can reveal that the Makeup Sponsors for 2013 will be Lancome - Love it! And that tickets for this event will be on sale sometime in December (dates to be confirmed.)

 

In the run up to this event I will be dedicating at least one blog post a week to all things #MCRFW related, so expect lots of new and exciting blog posts in the future!

 

If you do want some more info on the event right now then head over to their website and check out what promotions they have going on right now! They have fabulous daily themes under their 'Yours Fashionably' campaign, such as Model Monday (Trust me... you will want to check this out- Hawwt men alert!) and many more. Today (and every Thursday) they will be featuring their #MCRFW Street Style, so if you need some style inspo then check out what the stylish ladies of Manchester are rocking today! Or why not get involved yourself and share your streetstyle?! Take to Instagram and snap yourself with the hashtag #MCRFW and my username @Kate_Muzza and I will retweet my Favourites on twitter! Or leave your comments below and tell me what you are wearing today and from where, I'd love to hear from you!  

 

Much Love Xxx
