Matalans Alder hey collaboration | #BeASuperstar2018




Everyone loves a new pair of PJs and fresh bedding right? 
The #Superstars collection  in support of Alder Hey Children's Charity has launched from Matalan and this years theme couldn't be cuter!  (And super comfortable!)

The campaign - Fronted by Geordie babe Scarlett Moffatt landed online and in stores this week, with a size range of PJs to fit the whole family (Including the dog - Yes, that's right!)  This year the collection has grew to include bedding as well as a whole host of accessories from eye masks to cosy fluffy socks. 

In 2014 Matalan pledged to raise £1.5 million in 5 years for Alder hey. However, after such success with the 'Alphabet Scarfs' and 'Get spotted' campaigns the brand raised an impressive £2.1 million in 4 years smashing their original target for the charity. 

What Matalan have said;
"By purchasing products from the collection and sharing your snaps on social media, you will actively raise funds for Alder Hey Children’s Charity. Proceeds from the campaign will fund a range of activities and projects, which are designed to enhance and improve the lives of Alder Hey patients. Money raised will also be used to support research and purchase specialist medical equipment.

100% of profits from our #Superstars collection will go to Alder Hey Children’s Charity, supporting kids who really need your help."


I picked up a pair of the unisex PJs, an eye mask and socks today in Liverpool and couldn't wait to get home and wear them. Firstly the style is great. I love my nightwear oversized and comfortable, so with that in mind I picked up a Large. The waist on the trousers are a little big however they don't fall down too badly and I like how loose and baggy the top is. The trousers are jogger bottom with the top being a relaxed sweat shirt style. The fabric is 100% cotton and quite thin - Perfect for this time of year.
In summary I ruddy love them! Not only are they in support of such a great cause, they're also comfortable, cute and great for the transition into Autumn. 

The collection will not be available in all stores (If in doubt you can check stock availability on the website) and next day delivery will unfortunately not be available. 
The limited edition sleep mask also seems to be in store only and not available to order online.

Each year the projects collaboration has grown in popularity, with many anticipating the launch. It is expected that the range will sell out fast, so those of you wanting to get on the #BeASuperstar2018 bandwagon may need to hurry! The range will also be made available at Alder Heys charity shop in the hospital auditorium.

To get involved get online or to your local participating store and grab yourself something from the #Superstars range! Don't forget to snap a selfie and share your photos with Alder Hey by following and tagging them across their Facebook, Twitter & Instagram

Love for Matalan

I've never been one for buying Matalan clothes in the past as I've always found that they're either too old or too young with their women's section for me. However lately, I've been having  a massive snog fest with their budget alternatives to highstreet trends!
 
Last week I posted a cheeky look at their collection of gorgeous everyday peplum tops, and today, continuing with my highstreet 'one shop' outfit collections, I'm going to show you an outfit I've put together using only their online store.
 
Hold onto your hats girls, this ones a bargain post!
 
 
1.
Be Beau biker leather jacket - £35
 
A leather jacket.. for under £40, are you s**ting me?! I'm so unbelievably in love with this, that when my loan is finally here it will be the first thing put on my card!
The colour is rich and so yummy for the coming winter & I love the wrap zip detail.
This is a serious steal.
 
2.
Bird print pleat dress - £16
 
Now I know this may not be to everyones taste, but for me personally its the perfect day dress.
As many of you know from my previous posts about my tattoos, I really love birds & anything vintage print. This is a gorgeous modern take on the vintage trend.
(also available in block purple)
 
3.
Lace up brogues - £14
 
Most of us have a pair of these hanging around in our wardrobe already & they really do look great with little tea dresses.
 If you don't own any yet, they really are a pair of flats I believe every girl should own. They're a smart style, cute & really versatile.
Oh.. & mega cheap in all highstreet stores, not just Matalan!
 
4.
Washed leather look rucksack in tan - £12
 
Wow, another steal!
I'm loving the rucksack trend at the moment & currently own one cute white one (also from Matalan) that I bought for spring/summer. But as we're sweeping fast into autumn/winter, this tan rucksack is perfect for any of you schoolies/uni lasses wanting something comfortable but stylish.
 
5.
Black urchin stud earrings £2.50
 
I know these are black, and realistically I should have gone with something gold or purple to compliment the dress.. But I really liked these. They're simple, great for everyday & even with your hair up would make a nice little statement without stealing the show.
Oh, and they're only £2.50, so.. Why not buy them?
