Fiorella Strawberry and Pink Vida Moda Scarf Review

A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to win a scarf in a Vida Moda giveaway hosted by Hollie of Pretty Big Butterflies. 

The lovely Johanna from Vida Moda invited me to choose a scarf from their current selection, and  a few days later it arrived on my doorstep. It was boxed and wrapped in the most cheerful, sunshine orange tissue paper, and unwrapping the parcel brought a much needed smile to my face that day. It felt like Christmas.

Inside was the most beautiful coral scarf and my first impression was of how soft the fabric felt between my fingers and of how great the quality of the fabric was. 

I chose the Fiorella scarf in Strawberry and Pink; a scarf in graduating shades of coral and peach with fringed edging. The colours are so pretty, and scream "summer!" to me, but it deserves to be worn all year round. I personally think the colours go well with burgundy, cerise, and plum for Winter. 

The fabric is made from the softest viscose I've ever felt, and although it's light-weight, it's reasonably thick and surprisingly warm.  I'm extremely impressed with the quality of this scarf; it's so reasonably priced at just £16.95 and to me it feels far more expensive. I've bought scarves that have cost far more that haven't had even a fraction of this quality.

The fringed edging gives the scarf a relaxed feel, making it the perfect casual scarf to wear with everything from jeans and a tee, to day dresses. I'll most likely be wearing it over my favourite dresses on a regular basis! 

Here I am wearing it and making it work for Winter with shades of purple and pink on a drizzly grey March afternoon...

I love it! (Excuse the bruise on my nose).

Unfortunately the scarf is out of stock at the moment. I don't know if it will be restocked, but it could be worth checking back at a later date just in case. It also came in a beautiful indigo and blue. You can find Vida Moda's selection of scarves here, which I'd also recommend checking out.

Thank you to Hollie and Vida Moda for the giveaway, and sending me this beautiful scarf! I'm smitten with it and know I'll be giving it plenty of wear this Spring and Summer.

Freckles and Fox Print

Today's outfit was dressed around a scarf, which is not something that happens all that often. I usually pick a scarf to compliment the clothes I've picked out. 

On this occasion, I had a good reason. I won a beautiful scarf and was asked to take a selfie of me wearing it, so I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and get an outfit post out of it as well. I'll be reviewing the scarf tomorrow morning, and today I'm focusing on my outfit.

It was raining lightly when I made it outside to take these photos late Monday afternoon, so the photos aren't brilliant. I couldn't pose in my normal spot because my Dad was sitting in the living room which looks out on to it, and being watched was making me feel self-conscious. I hid in the corner hoping to get a little shelter from the drizzle, but it's pretty much the least scenic part of the entire garden in the Winter. Sorry!

I took about a hundred photos and I'm not all that happy with any of them. I love the outfit, but I'm just not feeling all that great about the way I look at the moment. I was meant to wear a cardigan with this outfit to cover my arms, but accidentally left it upstairs; it takes me about five minutes to get up them again so that's where it stayed. Thankfully it wasn't all that cold.

Moaning aside, I really liked the way this look turned out. The scarf is quite summery, but I had the idea of trying it with deep purple, cerise and magenta to make it work for Winter. I personally think I nailed it. What do you think?

I went with one of my very favourite dresses, a fox print dress by South for Very which I bought late last Summer. I adore it. It's been my go-to dress all Autumn and Winter, and I've returned to it countless times, trying out different colour combinations. It's the most gorgeous deep cerise colour, with a sweetheart neckline and a lace insert above it at the front and back, but the best part is that it's covered in a lovely red fox print. It's gorgeous. I love this dress so much, I actually bought myself a spare during the winter sales, because I know I'll be devastated when it falls apart. I'm sorry to tell you it's now completely sold out.

I also wore berry coloured tights from Evans, and a pair of bright magenta ballet slippers from New Look. I have those pumps for a few years now, and I've barely worn them because they need breaking in. I hate breaking new shoes in!  It was painful just walking back and forth from the camera to take these photos! 

The scarf is from Vida Moda and I won it in a giveaway with Pretty Big Butterflies, but more on that tomorrow! The review will be live at 9am UK time if you'd like to read more about it.

I have a bruise on my nose and I've no idea what I've done! Maybe I hit myself in the face with my Kindle in my sleep or something. Lol.

On another note, I can't believe how much my hair has grown in three months! I'm liking it much better now it's grown out a little, but I'm long over due a dye. My roots are atrocious! I know what my next mission is...
