Let’s Work It Baby!

Q:-What’s a girl to do on a Thursday evening after a long dull day in the office?

A:-Head to London’s Oxford Circus to the Mango & Stylist Reader Work It event of course!

This exciting showcase is collaboration between the fabulous high street retail fashion store Mango and the fantastic fashion read Stylist Magazine. What a great collaboration if I do say so myself!

The aim of the Work It event is having style and fashion inspired in the everyday working office.

So why wear dreary black and grey suits when you can add a dash of colour to your working outfit!

The queue for the private "Work it" fashion event went more than 2 blocks around the corner of London’s Oxford Street with fellow shoppers rearing to enter the store.

And yes indeed, we were welcomed with a nice glass of bubbly as we entered to see the latest Mango collection.

Mango’s 2011 Spring/Summer collection is infused with an array of colour blocking, floral, sporty and evening wear trends suitable to take you from the office straight to the latest social scene with various accessories on board to take you there.

Not only was there a mid-season sale in store but shoppers also received 25% off purchases on the night.

And what more to add to a great fashion event than a refreshing Spring/Summer cocktail or two courtesy of St Germain.

I also had the opportunity to ask Poppy, Mango UK’s resident Fashion Stylist and fellow fashion blogger, how to incorporate style trends such as colour blocking on a shoestring budget?

Poppy informed me that colour blocking is for everyone, as you can take something simple as bright coloured T-Shirt and team it with a contrasting coloured skirt or pair of trousers that you may have hanging in your wardrobe already. “Fashion is all about having confidence", Poppy told Shoestring Couture as she gave style advice to shoppers on the night.
