Waltzers, friends and rubber ducks! | Joe Browns Blogger Funfair

After our relaxed tea drinking experience in Islington Rachel and I hopped in a taxi and headed to the wonderfully vibrant and colourful West End. We arrived right in the heart of the action at the fabulously quirky Bar Soho, where Joe Browns were holding their A/W Collection preview party.

Settling into the reclaimed Waltzers seating booths (a touch of genius – nice one Bar Soho!) we enjoyed a catch up with Xtine over a cocktail or two. Of course we also attempted to take selfies in the strange neon lighting and pretend we were actually riding the Waltzers (click on the link below to see how well we did!)

Bar Soho was the perfect venue for the occasion as it’s funfair theme is also the inspiration behind Joe Brown’s Autumn collection. If you haven’t heard of Joe Browns, they are an online clothing brand synonymous with relaxed, casual clothing that is anything but boring thanks to their quirky designs, bright colours and luxurious textures.

We picked our favourite pieces off of the clothes rack and tried them on for size. I fell in love with this super cute fleece shawl which was lovely and cosy…

Funky Funtime Fur Collar Jacket

Rachel showed how to rock a fur hat. She happened to look gorgeous in it, I would have looked like an Ewok and wisely chose to take photos instead!

 
We both made a beeline for this  gorgeous Tea Party tulip dress in perfect Autumn colours and a really flattering cut for hourglass/pear shapes like me!

Some of their shoes caught my eye too, especially this statement pair!

After enjoying a good rummage through the clothes, we got down to important business: competing at funfair games! It turns out that I’m rather good a ‘hook a duck’ after a cocktail or two…
