The ‘Carrie’ style name necklace is such a lame fashion cliché but internet acronyms blatantly override that so when I saw this MASSIVE OMG necklace in Topshop, I insta-picked it up.

I can’t find it on their site anywhere, but I bought it IRL upstairs by one of the tills last week, I swear!

Last night Arcadia held a press day for bloggers and online press, with a dress up room and photo studio so bloggers could try on clothes and pose for pictures.
It was a really packed event, with fashion royalty like Susie from Style Bubble, and Richard Mortimer from Ponystep (excitement!) The atmosphere was really upbeat and festive, and there was a whole host of Arcadia PRs to chat to.

I remember the old days of blogging, when you would ring a PR and after a few mins of excruciatingly slow conversation you’d have to explain that a blog was ‘like a magazine, but on the internet’.* The worst experience I can think of was a PR telling us they ‘weren’t doing online till next year’ Err, cool try telling the internet that.

Trusting my instincts is something I’m learning to do more and more as I get older, so when I spotted a woman wearing a gorgeous jacket on the tube I have no idea why I didn’t ask her where it came from.
