Hi there guys! You may be wondering why I’ve removed my latest post from here, it’s because the blog has moved! It was about time I moved to a blog which was more functional and less student-esque as I am a graduate after all now. I was going to post about it however I didn’t realise it would be finished so quickly. My boyfriend has spent the last week putting the finishing touches to some of the design and I didn’t know how soon he’d get it done!
Anyway, I’ve had an amazing time blogging here, but my new blog makes it so much easier to link up my social media, chat to followers, see my stats all without restrictions. (My university set up this blog years ago and there are so many restrictions within the coding I feel a little trapped). Of course I’m leaving this blog open so I have an archive for my new blog, but I do hope you’ll join me in this newest venture.
Hoorah! Finally a high street retailer has noticed that some of us fashionistas don’t have 20/20 vision, and we really do love accessories and travelling in style. I’m a sucker for ‘travel’ anything before I’m going away as I have this idea that buying that mini whatever is somehow going to make my trip even better. One of the things I hate about packing though is finding somewhere safe to keep my contact lenses which are super small and easily lost amongst the pile of luggage I usually carry. On walking into Accessorize on Oxford Street the other day they had a whole table of travel products (swoon) and I immediately spotted this super cute lens case which is as sweet as it is a travel staple for me now.

Contact lens case, £10, Accessorize
The outer patent case only comes in bright pink as far as I know (who needs another colour?) and the lids of the actual contact case are mini pink roses, altogether now, ‘awww’. It’s super handy as my brand of saline solution only comes in bumper bottles, but with this cute little bottle I can dispense just enough solution for the 4 days I’m away. The case zips around with a lovely chunky gold zip to keep your contacts safe and there’s even room enough to fit your individual spare contacts in there as well. I have monthlies and the individual cases are about the size of a thumbnail and you can fit in a few nicely.
Contact lens case, £10, Accessorize
This isn’t available online yet unfortunately and I don’t know if it will be, but I know for a fact that Accessorize Oxford Street (the one with 3 floors near Forever 21 and The Body Shop) had a whole pile of them on the table as you walk in just 2 days ago. I’m pretty sure that Accessorize wouldn’t miss a trick and so these are probably available in the airport branches as well if nowhere else. For £10 this doesn’t come cheap and you can probably get a small purse or make up bag that does the same job for half the price, but I liked that this came ready-to-go and looking so cute! I also have to admit that despite my previous ‘where do I put my contacts?’ dilemma I never thought of this until I saw it and thought, ‘that’s such a good idea, I now cannot live without this for another second!’
What are your travel must-haves that you couldn’t possibly step on a plane without? Leave me a comment or tweet me as usual @MillieDelacoe.
As you may know I’m falling head-over-heels in love with neon right now. Anything fluoro shines like a homing beacon in every shop I’ve visited lately, but there’s one high street store in particular that has nailed the look completely. Christopher Kane’s amazing neon lace catwalk collection was a dream collection for me, but owning any of it was a pipedream at that. Now River Island’s neon lace and crochet pieces are deadringers for Kane’s collection and us mere mortals can get our hands on the coveted collection, and better still it won’t break the bank!
Part of Christopher Kane's amazing collection
Check out these gorgeous skirts, available in a wide range of neon brights from pink to yellow. They’re a complete steal at just £20, and as we know the pencil skirt is THE skirt to be seen in this season. Seriously great copies of a great design. If the look’s a bit full-on for you play the skirt down with your favourite jumper, but just don’t forget your heels!
Pink skirt, £20, River Island
Blue skirt, £20, River Island
Orange skirt, £20, River Island
Yellow skirt, £20, River Island
If you love the style of the pencil skirts but don’t feel brave enough to sport neon yet, they run these skirts in white, light pink and a more conservative navy too. Alternatively if you prefer something shorter for spring/summer, look no further than these cutesy mini skirts at £30 each.
Pink skirt, £30, River Island
Yellow skirt, £30, River Island
Finally finish off the look with a bright blazer that’s sure to turn heads. Don’t be afraid of rocking crochet and lace together either, texture mixing always makes an outfit look more expensive and way more catwalk than high street. For off duty days pair the blazer down with jeans and a loose tee for a pop of ‘chic’ at a lazy lunch.

That’s it for today’s designer double take guys, stay tuned tomorrow for my latest purchase: a travel must have! What River Island pieces are you loving at the moment? Leave me a comment or as usual tweet me @MillieDelacoe.
Another fashionable week has gone by and being the magpie I am, I’ve been keeping my eye on all the gorgeous fashion-goings-on to bring you my favourite images of the past week. It may be cold across Europe and snow may have hit your area, but that doesn’t mean we can’t swoon over spring neons and summer brights, it’s all about daydreaming…

First up is an ode to the weather that we’re currently having here in the UK and I love this wintery outfit. As you may know I’m due to go to Venice for my birthday and had had all of my outfits planned, and now Venice is suffering from frozen canals (!) so I have to rethink the whole ‘capsule wardrobe’. (We’re only allowed to take one small case between us!) This outfit is serving as much needed inspiration for a wintery yet chic wardrobe and of course I love the pink hair.

Next up is a piece from New York designer Katie Ermilio’s spring/summer collection and words cannot describe how much I would love this skirt in my collection! Predictably I’m loving it as it’s bright and almost a neon yellow, but also because it’s a simple, tried and tested skirt shape that is just utterly perfect.

Next up is a lady that has enjoyed a bit of a revival at the moment thanks to ‘We’ll Take Manhattan’: it’s Jean Shrimpton. I’m yet to catch up with the mini series which I am super excited about watching, but for now I’m just enjoying this snap of The Shrimp in transit. Ever since I started browsing Look Magazine’s ‘airport fashion’ feature I’ve been obsessed with pictures of the rich and famous arriving at their airport terminals in fantastical ensembles. I think this is all part of my holiday excitement, so wish me luck putting together an airport outfit that’s half as chic.

Ahh bright colours. If you read this blog regularly I apologise, you must be sick of my infatuation with all things bright and fluoro, but I can’t help it. I wish this was a snapshot of my outfit, the cute pleated skirt looks perfect with the gorgeous bag, the jacket is a great clash and there’s even the pop of colour from the bracelets too, swoon.

I literally squealed when one of my favourite beauty bloggers, Fleur De Force, posted about these Meadham Kirchoff nail wraps last week. Soon to be hitting Topshop stores near you these gorgeous wraps are the epitome of super cute. I love anything kawaii and kitsch so you can imagine how much I NEED a pack of these wraps. I don’t know if I’d be brave enough to rock all of the characters on my nails at once, but I’d probably pick one cutesy toon for an accent nail just to add some interest to my mani. Yeah that sentence just happened, what have I become? These are perfect for the Katy Perry in everybody, I’m letting my inner K-Pez out.

Her album came out last Monday and she’s had her fair share of ‘hate’, but moi and the fashion world have been going bananas for Lana. You may think her live performances could do with some work, you might not like that fact that she’s been under the knife, but who cares? Personally Born To Die is one of the only songs I want to listen to at the moment and hell yeah I’m going to buy her album. I like her music, her look and this picture in particular, how cute does it want to be!? Oh, and yesterday I went to three different newsagents in the snow to buy the March Vogue that she’s on the cover of because everywhere was sold out, so she must be doing something right!

Sticking with the cute theme, here’s another lady of the moment, Zooey Deschanel. Having already posted about her amazing New Girl ‘Jess’ outfits on here last week, I thought it was about time to tell you all the outfit I want most, that she’s been sporting. Yes, it’s these too-cute-too-be-true, perfect-for-Valentine’s pyjamas. (I’m blaming the cold weather for the fact that I’m lusting after pyjamas OK?) This is my favourite style of pyjama, I have this style in various patterns; russian dolls, leopard print, mini cupcakes and polka dots (so Zooey) and now I feel that these need to round off my collection. If anyone sees these in a store or online, let me know pronto!

Sweetheart du jour Elle Fanning looks adorable here in this monochrome look, and I LOVE the voluminous updo, tres chic. The gloves are a yes, the cute scalloped peter pan collar is a yes, and the simple and understated, yet super stylish eye make up is a huge yes. There isn’t a single pixel of this look that I don’t want to replicate! Bravo Elle, bravo. (Also for movie fans, Super 8 starring Elle is also a huge yes if you love films like The Goonies and E.T!)

This is another magazine that I feel like I went to the ends of the earth to find. I expected when I lived back in Wales to find it hard to get my hands on a super-fresh copy of a magazine at my local newsagent, but not in London! Thankfully WHSmith was on hand in the snow to provide me with my Vanity Fair fix. There are two reasons I wanted this issue, A. hello it’s the Hollywood up and comers issue! and B. My current fashion faves Rooney Mara and Felicity Jones are on the cover. The styling is amazing and it’s definitely an issue I’ll keep archived (instead of ripping it up for scrapbook fodder as I usually do!)

Last but by no means least just check out this hair! I have never described hair as being a tour-de-force before but I LOVE this! You could literally, I mean literally wear a binbag with this hairdo and look like the coolest person ever. I want it. I love the colour clash with the lipstick too, though as I said I doubt there’s much that WOULDN’T work with this hair. Sigh.
That’s it for this week, there’s plenty of exciting things coming up on the blog this week before I (hopefully) go away on holiday, so stay tuned. Let me know what you thought of this week’s pick and tweet me your favourite fashion moments of the week @MillieDelacoe.
I know, I know, I’m going on holiday soon, what am I doing spending money in H&M? Well, being as I do rather a lot of internet browsing to maintain the fashion credentials of this blog, it’s inevitable that every once in a while I see something that I don’t just want to post up here, I actually want it in my wardrobe. On browsing last-minute items for my Zooey Deschanel/New Girl style blog post on the H&M website I came across this super cute oversized heart tee.
Heart tee, £9.99, Divided at H&M
Aside from it being ultra adorable it reminded me of something from Wildfox Couture which is a super expensive brand that some of my favourite bloggers are really into and is a favourite among celebs like Taylor Swift and Cheryl Cole. I thought this would be super cool teamed with black skinnies or…(and this leads to my next impulse purchase)…red skinnies.
Red skinnies, £14.99, H&M
I used to have a pair which I lived in throughout sixth form and the first year of uni, they then wore out. The pockets began coming off and the belt loops ripped and I couldn’t find a pair I liked enough to purchase. Ladies, I’m sure you’ll agree that while we don’t want Simon Cowell-high trousers, some jeans out there just aren’t made for a substantial derriere and are made way too low slung. Finally a pair of trousers came along that fit the bill, and for only £14.99. I don’t feel that ‘impulse purchase’ is truly fair in the case of these jeans as there was a lot of deliberation and obviously years of pining for the right pair. We all know what that feels like.
Anyway, until next time, there’s what part of my hard-earned Venice fund has slowly been dwindling away on, totally worth it though. What high street pieces have you had your eye on lately? As usual tweet me @MillieDelacoe or leave me a comment below.
So that’s the intro song to my new favourite TV show and confession alert: I have fallen head over heels in love with New Girl. My boyfriend and I have watched the entire series so far about 3 times over and we cannot get enough, it’s filling a Friends shaped laughter hole in my life and you can never have too much Zooey Deschanel. I’ve read that it’s been getting mixed reviews and some people hate it. My question to them is, why? It is truly hilarious and utterly harmless fun, I just think they must not ‘get it’. I guess it is a particular ‘silly’ type of humour but that’s just my cup of tea.
If there’s one thing I love in a TV programme, it’s a well-dressed lead character and Zooey (Jess) doesn’t disappoint. Jess ‘rocks a lot of polka dots’, embraces whimsical prints and is rarely seen sans her crazy cool bright blue pumps. If anyone makes you want to throw the fashion rulebook out of the window and wear as much pattern as possible in the brightest of colours, it’s Jess. And as the programme will teach you, you can’t ‘suppress the Jess’.

Today I bring you a blog special all about Jess’ style and how to get the look, it’s definitely a fun, carefree style that has a feel good factor. There are absolutely no neutral or dark tones here so if greige is your favourite colour, step away from your laptop! I don’t necessarily want to copy Jess’ outfits in their entirety, there are plenty of sites out there that will tell you where to get the exact garments she’s wearing in each episode. I just want to show you the styles, shapes and colours to look out for on the great British high street and how to incorporate a little Jess into your wardrobe. Jess is usually styled in cutesy dresses, think ’50s prom style printed dresses, block colour skater dresses and usually sporting a Pixie Lott-esque Peter Pan collar. To nail the look, opt for polka dot dresses, or primary red and blues and remember it’s the little details like the neckline or the buttons that will really make the look sweet rather than sophisticated.
Photo from wwzdw.com
These skater type dresses are everywhere right now. For a more spring-like look, opt for styles without sleeves, like this bright blue Topshop number with pleated skirt, Jess would probably rock this dress with contrasting flats in a red or maybe even pink.
Blue skater dress, £46, Topshop
For a more girly feel, team this pink River Island dress with a cutesy hair bow (no, in New Girl that is not too much girly-ness). In a pastel pink this dress gives more than a nod to the SS12 catwalks, so technically you’re rocking two trends: hot off the runway, and Jess style. Win, win. There’s never too many accessories involved due to the large volume of print and pattern, so jewellery is few and far between but with a block colour dress like this that is print-less, the waved texture is just enough to still add a kooky edge.
Pink skater dress, £30, River Island
When Jess isn’t styled in a dress, it’s a skirt/shorts and top combo, and there’s always a pattern going on. Don’t be boring and think you need to tone down the print with a plain black top. Jess goes for pussy bow blouses or bold coloured tops that clash against the print and if it works for her…This is one of my favourite looks from the serious so far, it consists of a polka dot skirt with a cute pussy bow blouse and it’s easy to recreate.
This River Island skirt is great for spring/summer and polka dots are completely timeless. Pair it with a white blouse a la Jess, or add another colour injection and clash it with a coral top like this ‘sailor blouse’ from Topshop.
Polka dot skirt, £20, River Island
Coral blouse, £32, Topshop
Alternatively, go for a multicoloured print and pick out one accent colour to match, like Jess has here. The gorgeous forest green in the skirt looks fab with the block green top.
The great thing is, most of us have tonnes of basic tees just lying in drawers ready to team with something more interesting. Dig out that blue tee you’ve had at the back of your wardrobe and look for a skirt or pair of cute shorts that incorporates that colour. What have you got hiding away that you could team with this? There are plenty of colours in this stripy skirt to match up with, and you can even give yourself a style pat on the back for this bargain, it’s only £12.99 from H&M and is more than a little bit Prada.
Stripy skirt, £12.99, H&M
Last but by no means least, team the above skirt, (and the above everything really) with some bright flats like these, also from H&M. Jess wears hers everywhere and with every outfit and the clash is super fun. I picked up this exact pair yesterday and changed into them straight away instore (heels+massive shopping day=ouch). I can vouch that they’re majorly comfy and looked fab with the polka dot jeans I was sporting too. Bonus!
Blue pumps, £7.99, H&M
Zooey rocking the blue flats on the New Girl set
Before I go I’ll leave with you this awesome make up tutorial by one of my favourite Youtube make up gurus and make up artist, Tanya Burr. Tanya shows you how to get Zooey (or Jess’) New Girl make up, so if you’re planning to go for any of today’s looks, you can rock the make up to match! As a New Girl fan Tanya gets the make up spot on and it’s a lovely day look, enjoy guys!
Are you loving New Girl at the moment, and which of Jess’ outfits are you dying to try most? As usual tweet me @MillieDelacoe or leave a comment below!
You can catch New Girl Fridays 8.30pm on Channel 4 and catch up online on 4OD.
So VFF has been M.I.A for two weeks. Last Friday I had to travel to Northern Ireland last minute with my boyfriend to see his family, so obviously VFF took a backseat, and this week I’ve been busy working on a really exciting VFF post. Seeing as this year is all about ‘the new Jazz age’ and fashion eds the world over have been going bananas for anything ’20s, I thought I’d do a little homage to the upcoming Great Gatsby movie and do a solely ’20s Vintage Frock Friday hopefully in time for next week. Sourcing genuine ’20s dresses and in good condition is proving more difficult than at first anticipated, but the dresses won’t beat me, I WILL find them!
Until then, here’s some ’20s inspiration, I’m not 100% sure what’s happening in this image, but we’ll just go with it…
It’s two weeks until the big day and whether you love it or loathe it, you’ve probably already got plans; a date with your man or a boy-free night out with the girls. I’ve scoured the high street to bring you six fab dresses suitable for whatever you’ve got on the agenda, so it doesn’t matter if you’ll be dining or dancing there’s something here for everyone’s V-Day needs.
The Dresses
First up this gorgeous Motel dress caught my eye due its forties-esque shape. This is a perfect first date dress as it combines cutesy print and flirty shape without being too OTT. Team this with neutral make up and loose waves for a laidback look that’s pretty rather than prim.
Rosa print dress, £39, Motel at motelrocks.com
Up next this fun bodycon dress is definitely one for the fashion conscious with its Christopher Kane-esque neon lace. This dress is great for cocktails with the girls and would look amazing with Zooey Deschanel style cat eyes and a super 60s beehive. Keep the accessories to a minimum and let the dress do all the talking, just don’t forget your killer heels.
Pink lace dress, £48, Dress Up Topshop at topshop.com
If a date with your boyfriend is on the cards and you want to look amazing, look no further than this gorgeous Topshop dress that’s super sexy without flashing the flesh. The flattering long sleeves mean you won’t be freezing to death in this cold spell but you can still look chic. Team with black opaques to balance out the glimpse of midriff and add black heels to elongate your pins.
Cut out bodycon dress, £36, Topshop
If you’re a vintage fan and you fancy yourself as a bit of a Dita, feast your eyes on this gorgeous vintage style pink peplum dress with sweetheart neckline. This dress screams Valentine’s and its figure flattering shape means its perfect for every size. Nip in your waist with a skinny belt to accentuate the hourglass figure that the dress gives you as standard.
Pink peplum dress, £42, Miss Selfridge
Back to Motel again with this form fitting frock that shows off your curves without showing skin. If your legs are your prized asset, rock bare legs with this for a night out, or wear it for dinner with opaques and your favourite confidence boosting heels. The romantic detailing on the sleeves and the neckline are just enough, so style your hair in a messy updo to show off the applique.
Gina dress, £42, Motel at motelrocks.com
If all you want to do on V-Day is grab your girls, hit the bar and dance away the whole thing, look no further than this amazing sequinned dress from Topshop that screams ‘I’m amazing’. Make the night all about you with this fab frock that will last for New Year’s and Christmases for years to come, serious cost-per-wear and serious head-turning potential.
Sequinned dress, £125, Topshop
The finishing touches
Get into the spirit this year and let your nails match the occasion with these amazing nail wraps from Nail Rock. With a cutesy heart print, these wraps are perfect for an accent nail or go for a full heart mani, V-Day only comes around once a year doesn’t it?
Heart nail wraps, £6.50, Nail Rock at Miss Selfridge
Finally if you want to look your best this February 14th, this video by my favourite make up artist Lisa Eldridge shows you how to nail V-Day make up without going OTT. It’s super cute, flirty and really easy, what more could you want from a make up look?
This week’s Stylish Ten is all about clothes. Clothes, clothes, clothes. One of my favourite things to do on a lazy afternoon is browse through my list of favourite style blogs and find inspiration from bloggers’ outfits from around the globe. I love seeing how other people put things together, often in ways you wouldn’t have thought of and it just so happens that all the stylish ten this week are rocking looks that I utterly love. But what do you think?

Let’s get started with this cute look which I am super in love with. I love how it traverses both the preppy and prim trend whilst adding kooky little accessories. Look at that adorable ‘door knocker’ brooch at the collar! This is layering done really well and subtly, check out the polka dot shirt underneath the lacy dress and then that gorgeous blazer!

This off-duty look from Daisy Lowe is one of my favourite looks of last week perhaps because it looks so cosy, warm but still damn cool. There’s something a little bit Lisbeth Salander about it, in a good way. Daisy softens the leather jacket and biker boots with grey leggings and a cosy scarf and I’m definitely recreating this for my next run to the shops.

Next up there are so many things I love about this look. A. the hair, B. the dress, C. how the hair and the dress go so well together. This picture is seriously making me want to go out and dye my hair but that hue is never going to look as good on me. The Zooey Deschanel style hair cut is something I’m trying to grow my hair into at the moment so maybe I’ll be the blonde version of this photo soon? Unlikely but still, I can dream!

Jean Paul does it again at this year’s couture show and boy do I want this dress, even if just to parade around the house in! The huge pink updo is doing it for me aswell, you may know by now that I love everything and anything pink (especially at the moment) and the Charlotte Free-esque pink hair movement that’s sweeping the catwalks is seriously up my street.

Elizabeth Olsen, she’s been featured on this here blog a lot lately, I think it’s because everything she wears I could see myself wearing. I like to think if I were rich and famous and had style icon twin sisters I would dress just like this. When they posted this picture, Glamour said that it should be wrong but somehow it’s not, something I totally agree with. On paper this is a disaster waiting to happen, but in real life (or celeb-land) it’s working and I love it all.

Kayture or Kristina is one of my favourite fashion bloggers hands down. She sure knows how to dress and although so many of her outfits lately have caught my eye, I think it’s this one in particular that I love most. It combines everything that I love about fashion: faux fur, pastel hues, pink, Chanel, colour pop nails, I could go on…

Rose Byrne gets it super right at the SAG Awards. That bob is amazing isn’t it? And that jumpsuit is a breath of fresh air and a nice break from all the frothy frocks that went down the red carpet that night. Looking super chic, this is a look I’d love to see more of from Rose, her fashion evolution is in full swing!
Photo from weheartit.com
As a huge Marina and the Diamonds fan it was about time Marina made it onto this list. Finally she has for rocking this ensemble that is the perfect texture mix: quilted jacket, silky dress, snakeskin bag. If I could have one thing from this look, it would definitely be that gorgeous Vivienne Westwood bag although I’m loving the peep of glitzy necklace!
Photo from weheartit.com
Admittedly, Alesha Dixon isn’t usully someone I look to for style inspiration, however I’m loving this look that she wore for some Britain’s Got Talent auditions. The jewelled shirt is a particular winner for me, and I love the pops of colour from the skirt, shoes and of course the lipstick. It’s just enough glam and it looks super chic, a great interpretation of the neon trend.
Photo from lookbook.nu via weheartit.com
Finally it’s back to pastels again with this look, and oh, what a surprise, lots of pink! This cute look is so SS/12 and a great way to work pastels for the day. As soon as it gets a bit warmer here in Blighty I’ll definitely be trying out some looks like this! Love!
It happened! Thanks to Glamour magazine, on Tuesday night my boyfriend and I attended the world premiere of The Woman In Black and it was amazing!
Incase you missed my previous post, last week I won a Twitter competition run by Glamour magazine and the prize was two tickets to the film premiere, I was so lucky!
So Tuesday came around and after already selecting my outfit and trying on numerous things I received an email before leaving with information about ticket collection, and also stating that the dress code was gothic chic. So I had to go back to the drawing board with the outfit I’d already chosen and go for something else that was less colourful and more gothic. Luckily on Sunday my boyfriend and I went to Spitalfields and I happened to buy a gorgeous black lace top that was perfect for the event so I teamed it with shorts to give it that extra glam feel. This is how my outfit came together.
My premiere ensemble!
I wanted to go for all black and add some pops of colour, so I went for a red heart clutch (a present from my little brother a few years ago), Maybelline’s Colour Sensational lipstick in 530 Fatal Red and Rimmel 60 Seconds nail polish in Red Carpet (very apt!) I like the way it turned out as it was just enough colour without being OTT. As I said, the black lace top is from Spitalfields, the shorts are black and very high waisted, although you can’t tell here, and they were from Topshop when I was about 17 (that’s 5 years ago)! I LOVE them, they still fit me and they are still in amazing condition. The tights and black cami underneath the lace top are both Primark, the belt came on a floral skirt that I got from River Island last year and the shoes (which are the most comfortable shoes I own despite the height) are from New Look. I glammed up my hair with the Toni & Guy deep barrel waver which was a Christmas present and is my favourite gadget ever, it’s the easiest thing to use on your hair and it’s super quick!
So we arrived and collected our tickets and then it was time to hit the red carpet! As soon as we stepped on, it was just instantly surreal! One of the first people I spotted was Ciaran Hinds but unfortunately we weren’t allowed to stop, we were encouraged to keep moving into the cinema. On getting inside we hung out at the bar to see who we could spot and made our way into the huge auditorium which was showing a live stream from the red carpet outside on the big screen. You should’ve heard it when Daniel Radcliffe arrived!
We were so excited to see the movie and couldn’t believe we were actually there! After a little while the stars of the film and the crew behind it all took to the stage to introduce the movie and say a few thank yous. Again, the sound when Daniel Radcliffe started talking was pretty loud! You can probably spot Jane Goldman’s flame-red locks, Jonathan Ross’ talented wife was actually the screenwriter behind the movie and I have to say she did an incredible job. This picture’s not the best as we were quite far back but you can still probably see Daniel on the far left!
The whole night was amazing, I can’t thank Glamour enough, we had a fabulous time and the film was brilliant. It’s definitely not for the faint hearted as it is up there on my list as one of the scariest films I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot. It’s done brilliantly, it’s all story, there’s no gore or questionable plot which is what you get with a lot of horror movies these days I have to say. This film combines real atmosphere and tension with a great story and it is very British which is one of the best things about it. You must go see it, just make sure you take someone who you can grip onto, or something you can hide behind, you’ll really need it!
