Michelle Keegan X Lipsy Collection Launch Party & Interview!

So last Wednesday I got to interview the beauty that is Michelle Keegan and chat all things fashion! 

The location was the very grand Rosewood Hotel, where I was greeted on arrival with champaign and ushered into an exclusive bloggers only corner to mingle with the other girls. I was one of the lucky 8 or so to interview the lovely Michelle, even though there were lots of other bloggers and magazines there, only us 8 got to put to her our questions!

But before we get into the interview, I wanted to share with you my favourites from her 30+ piece collection! Pricing ranges between £28 - £85 and are available to buy at Lipsy, shop the collection here!


So I asked you guys via my instagram and twitter to put to me your questions for Michelle! So with a mix of those and my own, here's the interview!

What three words would you use to best describe your collect?

Classic, elegant and tailored.

What piece are you most excited to wear yourself?

That's so hard! I like the suit, just because I love wearing suits, it's quite a classic sort of look. I have to say as well the jumpsuit, with the lace hight neck, I love that! You can wear that in the evening, at a restaurant, or in the night for a night out.

What has inspired you to get into fashion and design your own collection?

I think I've always always been interested in fashion anyway. When I was at Corrie it was quite restricted, you're not allowed to do other things on the side. So when Lipsy approached me to do the collection, I just jumped at it. Something I was always been interested in, and the fact I could design my own range is amazing!

Who are your style icons?

Has to be Victoria Beckham, just because she always looks so good, whether it's a day look or a night look she's always so preened. She doesn't wear massive bold things, never too much. She's quite minimal and that's what I like about her, she's minimalistic. 

How would you describe your fashion style?

Minimal, I like to feel comfortable. I don't like anything too low cut. I'm quite feminine, I like to wear feminine clothes.

What is your number one fashion tip?

I think just to be comfortable in what you are wearing, I think too many people tried to follow trends, and when they wear clothes they don't feel comfortable in, I think it shows. If you are comfortable in what you are wearing it portrays in how you are. Know your body as well. When you know your body shape you know what works for you and that's a really good thing to learn as well.

What are your two top holiday style essentials?

Kaftan round the pool to cover up over a bikini, and a really good sandal, a flat shoe. I can't wear heels a lot on holiday either, the heat... you sweat!

What has been your worst fashion disaster looking back?

There's been a few..There's been a lot! Probably when I wore a really bright orange coat, it was in at the time, a big fur thing, and I wore a green head band to go with it.

So there we go, 8 questions in 4mins 1sec! We then high fived!
Such a lovely lady! A massive thank you to Lipsy for this opportunity!

I don't trust me either

Coat / Topshop
Top c/o / Choies
Dr Denim Custom Jeans c/o / Mercantile London
Shoes / H&M

I adore this top from Choies! I spotted it on idressmyselff and had to get it for myself. Major style crush on that girl!

I also love Dr Denim jeans, this is now my second pair, again from The Mercantile London. Distressed denim is so on trend at the moment, so it's great to get a pair done for you so you don't have the pressure of doing it yourself! Scroll down this post for a giveaway to win yourself 5 pairs!!

I wanted to keep the outfit minimal due to the jeans, so opted for my trusty Topshop boyfriend coat. I prefer wearing this over the shoulders as it really doesn't suit me worn normally!

These beautiful holographic heels were from H&M last year, a steal at £7 in the sale! I sometimes find them hard to style up, but I just love how they look in this outfit.

Are you into distressed denim? Have you ever tried to customise some for yourself? Any failed attempt stories? ^_^

Festival ready

Sunglasses / Quay Australia c/o Motel Rocks
Top / Topshop
Levi Shorts / Ebay
Rucksack c/o / Zatchels
Shoes / Dr Martens c/o Motel Rocks
Watch / Casio
Ring / Gift

This is certainly an outfit I would wear for a festival! Perhaps adding a kimono incase it's quite sunny to prevent sun burn, and also to help bring this outfit into evening when it becomes a tad cooler. Incase the weather turns bad you could also bring a mac in your rucksack so you are prepared! 

I love rucksacks for festivals! They are great to keep to you hands free so you can dance away to all your favourite bands with your hands in the air! This one is also great because there's a clasp to keep the front closed, even if that's opened there's also a drawstring which you can also tie up. Leaving you care free, not worrying about people trying to get at your goodies!

Levi shorts are almost a must have for summer let alone festivals! Ebay is a great place to find affordable ones. Lots of store even charge £30+ these days for a pair!

I'm so impressed with Quay Sunglasses! You'd know this if you follow my social platforms. I keep posting my collection. These are my favourite of the three I own so far. I love how simple yet striking they are. Also they really do black out the sunlight, the darkest sunglasses I own.

Just how amazing are those Dr Martens sandals!! And surprisingly comfy! I even wore them to work, a 35 min brisk walk and they only slightly rubbed the back.

I just looked at when I last posted an outfit! I am so sorry for my lack of posting! These few weeks have been rather busy! Although I have been shooting lots of outfits and things for my blog, it's getting the time to sit and put it all together. I'm so impressed by those who manage to blog everyday! I wish I could manage this myself!
