How to be confident - with Danie and Callie | Simply Be

A few weeks back, Callie and I headed to Manchester for a fun filled weekend with the mega babes at Simply Be. The purpose of trip was to shoot a series of 'How to' videos and ladies, the first one is up on their Youtube channel and seeing it back makes me giggle from start to finish! I feel ever so lucky to a) have the chance to work with such great brands like Simply Be b) work on projects like this with my BFF Callie and c) get the chance to show/tell you my techniques/feelings of how to be a confident individual - no matter your shape or size.

In the first instalment Callie and I tell you how/why we started blogging and also we give you 5 tips for achieving body confidence. I think you'll agree it's very clear to see that we love spending time together, sharing our tips with all of you and doing that in a way that is serious yet silly at the same time.

A day with New Look Inspire

In my previous post just below this one I promised to show you each of my Amsterdam outfits, one after the other. Well, I want to interject with a little post about a recent collaboration I did before carrying on with those OOTDs.

The day after Callie and I landed back in London, we headed to Portobello for a day of shooting with New Look. We teamed up with Inspire, their plus size range and shot individually as well as together. The day was so good, as you can imagine we laughed an awful lot and I tell you what, it is so nice having someone you get on so well with, there to support you. I'm still getting used to being photographed and videoed by brands so although I'm a confident young lady it is still a little nerve wracking being videoed and stared at by a team of people! I'm not complaining though, the New Look team were fab and we all had a right laugh together.

Below are some snaps from the day and the video itself. Be sure to check the Inspire range out here, where you'll be able to spot the items we both modelled and lots more fab pieces. 

What do you reckon guys? It's sooooo odd hearing your own voice. I definitely have a posh video voice going on there! What do you think of the New Look Inspire range?
