Evans Giveaway PLUS Exclusive Discount Code Just 4 U...

#evansclothing
What a better way to start off 2017 than giving you amazing folk the chance to be rewarded just for being kind...

Early in December I won a fantastic prize from Evans as part of their #EvansBlackFriday blogger competition which included two things which I think might interest you way more than the items of clothing that I chose. Of course it wouldn't be right to not show you what I got but that's not the purpose of this little chat here (bear with me, that post is coming soon)

So in the meantime, who wants some "free"ness?


I would like to give one of you beautiful kids a £20 gift card to spend at Evans Clothing but as it's new year I want to kick it off with nothing but kindness. So in order for you to win I want you to head on over to Instagram and post a photo of you doing something kind for someone else this week, a random act of kindness if you will.  Post your photo, tag both @evansclothing & myself @kat_v_henry in your photo and make sure to use the hashtag #KindnessComesForFree so I can see it.
At 8pm on Sunday 8th Jan 2017 I will pick one of your photos to win this awesome prize.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE...

Just for you guys I have been given an exclusive discount to share with you so you can grab 15% off all full price items on the Evans website between 1st January 2017 and 7th January 2017.  Just use the code KAT15 at the checkout.

If you use the code, don't forget to tag me in a pic of what you buy...I'm proper nosey and I wanna see what you buy plus I wanna live vicariously through your purchase cos Christmas got me BROKE as hell!

So - don't delay, go get your kindness on and happy shopping!

Evans #IAmMe Awards

#iamme #iammeawards
Evans spared no expense with their recent #IAmMe Awards event, it was a night fuelled by positivity, giggles and a shed load of prosecco!  I was honoured to have received an invite to the prestigious awards, especially when I saw how well Evans looked after us Blogger gals.

As soon as I got my invite I made sure to get in touch with Vicky of Vixen Curves to discuss a collaboration.  I had found a killer dress from Boohoo Plus that was perfect for the event, but it needed something to give it that little somethin’ else! When Vicky suggested customising one of the “vixen” harnesses to wear with it, perhaps a little eye-catching gold number, I was all over that!

Considering I got ready at work, I don’t think I scrubbed up too badly!

Outfit rundown;

Dress – Boohoo Plus Karina Plunge Split Maxi Dress – Size 20 – Product Code: pzz9386610568 *No Longer Available* £25.00

Harness - *Custom Made* “Vixen” style harness embellished in gold. http://vixencurves.co.uk/ *Gifted*

Shoes – SoleDiva Sandals in black from Simply Be – Size 6EEE £25.00

I’d always wanted to wear something a little more racy and this outfit turned some heads, exactly the response I was aiming for!

100 Wardour Street is a plush venue and it was decked out to nines with #IAmMe hashtags & goodies everywhere you turned, (I kinda felt bad for the clean-up team that would have to get the mirror & wall transfers off before the next working day!) It was pretty impressive though, even the loos were kitted out!

The awards ceremony was really uplifting. Five awards, given to five ferociously fabulous and inspiring women, including our very own Lucy Earnshaw who was awarded the #IAmStyle award. Well done beautiful, you totally deserved it.  I hadn’t heard of the other lucky ladies who won the other awards before this evening, but they were all lovely women full of confidence and some pretty funky dance moves!  It was awesome to meet them and spend the night dancing with them.  I will definitely be following their journeys from here on out.

Hosted by the uber stylish Laura Puddy, she was joined by Hayley Hasselhoff, Callie Thorpe and leading ladies from Evans, Garnier & Marie Claire who all spoke passionately about what the Awards meant to them and how much each of the nominations recieved were truly heartfelt. It was so empowering to hear others speak so highly of other women, there's not enough praise of each other these days so it's refreshing when we get the chance to celebrate and uplift others. Jess and her Bandits played a fantastic set, not only is she stunning with the voice of an angel she is so down to earth and real. Always a pleasure, Jess x

Some of my favourite blogger babes were in attendance, everyone's outfit was unique and each of the ladies had dressed to impress. We all had seats laid out for us; such a nice touch.

There was a pamper bar in a side room where you could have your nails painted, I opted for a blood red shade from Essie. 


With the addition of delicious canapés including the most adorable mini burgers I have ever laid eyes on and free flowing prosecco we were in for a fabulous night.  Bethany of The Arched Eyebrow spun the tunes all night keeping us dancing well into the small hours.



It really was a fab night and we were even given a goodie bag filled with Garnier products and an edition of Marie Claire. 

I cannot wait for next year's event; Evans know how to throw a shindig!
