Callie Thorpe

Hey, I’m Callie!

So lets start from the top, I’m a twenty, nearly thirty something sassy Welsh gal who loves to write on the internet, so much so I forged a career out of it.
I live with my handsome husband Dan in a little overpriced rented flat in South West London with our two cats.
We love to travel, cook and be lazy on the sofa.
Good lipsticks, strong WiFi, photography, food and friends make my heart happy.

Day 2. BPSFW

in Uncategorized

Day two of the event was at Shoreditch Town hall, a much larger venue and a lot cooler! There were lots of new faces and so many confident stylish women at the event looking far too fierce for words. I enjoyed the day and the fashion show, there were again some flaws with organisation throughout but we of course needed this to happen in order to move forward and allow the event to grow and improve.  My choice of outfit for the Saturday was the Neon Floral dress from ASOS. It wasn’t something I would normally pick but I am challenging myself to be more daring and I think it paid off! I felt amazing in this dress, I opted for a  slightly more casual look by adding a leather jacket and booties.


Dress – ASOS Curve
Coat – New Look Inspire
Boots – Evans 

My girls Danie, Amy and Sian looking so bloody hot don’t you think?
 After a mental day we decided to go for dinner and drinks at The Breakfast club in Hoxton. (I will be posting about this restaurant soon) and I cannot tell you how hilarious this was! I spent the majority of my evening crying with laughter. Real tears people, real tears! Its things like that, that make me so happy to have started my blog, getting to meet like-minded people, and friends for life.

  10. I'm the same as Allie, I wasn't too keen on the colour but you look amazing in it! And now I want it. You should model on ASOS' site. Glad you had a good time at the weekend xx

  11. I love that dress on you! I normally opt for 'safe' (ie boring!) black and navy stuff. Inspired to go for a little drama after this post and discovering ASOS curve range a few mths ago. x Gem

  16. Ordered this dress last night after browsing Asos and thinking, ooooh, I'm sure I saw that on Callie's blog! Hope it looks even a tad like it does on you and I'll be happy. x

  • I don’t know how I’m going to settle back into Autumn 🍂 life now that I’ve had another taster of the glorious sunshine in LA.
  • Two Shakes 🥤Extra Thick coming up. #fastfoodbutmakeitfashion
  • Yesterday was so much fun. The weather was perfect, we ate brunch at the Ivy, went to a flea market in an old high school, took pictures against cute walls then hit up the pretty little thing show room (in a pent house 👀) to film a lil vid for social. I never thought I would love LA but every time I come I get all the feels. Thanks @prettylittlething for the PLT Girls Tour! 💅🏻💕
  • Made it to La La land. Jet lag is kicking my butt though. 😴
  • Thursday throw back is rather relevant this week because guess who is heading back to LA this weekend 👀 So excited to be invited by @prettylittlething I fell in love when I visited earlier this year and I’m so excited to go again and this time stay in Beverly Hills babyyyyyy! So prepare for some sunshine content. Weather forecast says 29 degrees, 😅🔥 Anyway excuse me whilst I go pack ✈️❤️
  • With my house renovation taking up all my free time and energy these last few weeks I’ve had little to no time to relax, take care of my skin or have any kind of pamper session. This last week however I’ve been trying the new Sanctuary Spa 1 minute Daily Glow Face Mask which has been quite honestly a lifesaver in giving me a quick uplift for when my skin is looking dull and tired. It’s packed with Vitamin C which is known for its brightening effects as well as rosemary extract which smells lovely and fresh. Win win win! What I love is that you can just throw it on before you jump in the shower, it takes just 60 seconds and gives you that little quick boost that you need mid-week if you haven’t got time for a lengthy face mask which is perfect for me at this time in my life. If you lovely folk want to try this for yourself it’s available at all the usuals, @bootsuk @superdrug @feelunique and @lookfantastic and I think is reasonably priced at £14. Let me know if you get round to trying! Ps swipe to see a lil video I made trying the product #ItsFaceTime @sanctuaryspa [AD]
  • Last year I went through one of the hardest experiences of my adult life when I found out I had been put onto a forum dedicated to hating fat people. I angered a group of trolls because I was featured in Vogue and they did not think someone as ‘disgusting’ as me deserved that. Having them refer to me as an ‘IT’ ‘a swollen lump of lard’ ‘a pig’ and much more took me to a really dark place. Bullying is not just something that happens to you at school, and I learnt that the hard way So when @glamouruk and @antibullyingpro asked me to share my story as part of their blend out bullying campaign there was no doubt in my mind I was going to do it. #BlendOutBullying involves highlighting the worst thing anyone’s ever said to you online and owning it by writing it on your face/lips/body and then blending it away. I chose to write FAT and DIE Two things that I had been called and told to do by very (I believe to be) hurt people. And as I blended in that contour stick I watched as those hideous words disappeared from my skin. I am fat and eventually I will die but I will know that the life I lived was filled with love, compassion and kindness. I’m more than the terrible things people say and so are you. So if you have ever experienced bullying I ask you to write those words on your face and blend them into a gorgeous makeup look. Take back the power from the bullies and create an inspiring video to encourage others to do the same. Will you join me and these amazing girls @theslumflower @chessiekingg @makeupmouse @ling.kt and share yours? You can donate to the campaign by texting GLAM18 to 70700 with the amount you wish to donate (ie GLAM18 £3). Just £30 trains one anti-bullying ambassador who can then go on to help countless others. I would also like to take a moment to thank @nabela who I know inspired Glamour to create this campaign when she shared her own version of this with a makeup tutorial many months ago. I’m constantly inspired by you and grateful for you sharing your story so others could share theirs. ❤️💕
