Last Friday I was thrilled to be invited to Selfridges in Birmingham to take part in a photoshoot for their Denim Lovers campaign. Along with six other Midlands based bloggers, I had a consultation with one of the resident denim experts Natalie who picked out for different pairs of jeans for me to try on. I ended up choosing this gorgeous light grey sateen super-skinny pair by J Brand which are completely different to what I would usually choose for myself. I usually like my jeans to be dark and high waisted like my Joni jeans, however I fell in love with these as soon as I put them on. Why do they have to have a £190 price tag?

After we’d got changed into our jeans (and I also borrowed this gorgeous Helmut Lang top) we headed down to the Beauty Hall to get our makeovers done. I had mine done by the lovely Julia at NARS who has done my makeup before and remembered me. She put a gorgeous aubergine coloured eyeshadow on and gave me a smokey eye finished off with a slick of eyeliner. I wanted to go for my usual bold lip colour so I chose one of the Satin Lip Pencils in Luxembourg. This is such a gorgeous colour and lasted hours, even through eating! It’s now at the top of my wishlist and I also want to try out the other colours.

I’m really pleased with how the photos turned out (thank god I was wearing a nice bra!) and I can’t wait to see the feature in the Birmingham Mail next week!
