Navy at Marble Arch

11/23/18 | Bauble Bar, Dune London, Fashion Friday, London Photoshoot

London Blogger Navy Dress at Marble Arch 04 We made it to another Friday, yay!  For all of my readers in the States I hope you had a wonderful Turkey Day and are enjoying relaxing today or getting a kick start on your shopping.  Today in the UK is just another work day but to make it a bit more interesting I have this great look to share with you.  But first, let me explain the back story.  You may recall when I went to Paris at the start of the year I worked with a photographer and ran around the city shooting this, this, and this look.  Well here in London there is a similar sort of service called Splento where you can book a photographer for any kind of event – from corporate headshots to birthday parties to shoots for fashion blogs – for an hourly rate.  But my favorite part is that included in this hourly rate is not only the editing of the photos but also that you will receive them back within 48 hours which if you have ever worked with a professional photographer you will know is SUPER quick!

Well I partnered up with Splento to try out this service and on Saturday morning (six days ago) got up bright and early to meet my photographer Adrien at the corner of Hyde Park and Oxford Street.  From there were shot in a bunch of iconic locations including Selfridges’ and Marble Arch, and I was even able to factor in an outfit change. Take a look at my first look, this navy dress I paired with silver accessories for a fun London fall look.  And please pay special attention to these Dune London Feather Thread Embroidered Pumps which I recently found here in London on sale and I think are the perfect shoe to spice up any holiday look this season.

    ThanksgIving outside the US is not the same. I was in Nassau Bahamas one year for Thanksgiving and it was weird. love this dress on you. Perfect for my local politician’s Christmas party. I love those heels too. The camera man forgot a close up in on the shoes. Pointy toe shoes for my big feet are what I call taxi cab shoes aka not meant for a lot of walking.

    Those shoes really pop with the outfit. Great photo shoot by your professional photographer.

    Looks like the lighting could not have been better.

    Fun times!

    That necklace is the perfect length and size for that dress. The shoes are pretty awesome too.

    I also adore that dress on you. I look forward to seeing you wear it in one of your instagram posts soon.

    The photo of you throwing up the leaves is one of the happiest smiles I have ever seen you make and I have been reading your blog for three years plus now.

    That color blue is such a nice change from the ever present black that most people wear to a dressy occasion.

    Perfect!
