Tornados, Dad dancing and a very cool collection

All clothing from the new French Connection collection, gazing into the distance my own

Hey frens! Happy hump day. In fact, happy halfway-through-hump-day, even better. 

A few weeks ago myself and Kirsty headed up the The Pentlands to shoot the new French Connection SS19 collection. We had a very strong idea of what we wanted to do, the weather had a very strong idea of how to stand in the way of that. OH MY GOD WAS IT COLD. It was right before it snowed so the air had that lovely bite to it that only comes with minus-something temperatures and the wind decided to emulate a tornado it had seen on The Wizard of Oz at some point. However, we did it! And I'm oh so very proud of how it turned out. I really really wanted to do the collection justice as it's one of my favourites yet; there's flowy maxi dresses, there are big oversized jumpers to layer over said maxi dresses, there's a badass biker jacket, there's the cutest little denim two piece and there's a lilac suit that's got Mick Jagger all over it. Not literally although, note to future self: great idea for a suit.

You can have a look at the full video here (shot and edited beautifully by our Kirsty with a soundtrack from the glorious Girl Ray). I really hope you like it! I will finish with a beautiful photo of me being blown over by a gust of wind whilst attempting to do the 'cool girl' squatting down pose which Mother Nature, clearly, is not a fan of.

All clothing kindly gifted by French Connection but the blog post isn't sponsored, I just wanted to share some shots from the day. Innit.
