Sunday Selfie: My Day As A Model In Manchester For Marisota’s Christmas Collection.

There’s nothing quite like doing something a little different on a weekday, and this one was certainly one to remember!

Instead of my usual Friday routine, I headed to Manchester for an exciting photo shoot with Marisota, modelling pieces from their gorgeous Christmas clothing range.

On Friday I was invited up to Manchester for a photo shoot with Marisota for their Christmas clothing range.

Me a stay at home mum of 4 being treated like a model for the day. Swapping trainer for heels, jeans for party wear and lots of sparkles thrown in. How fun!?

It was such an amazing and unforgettable day. I have to admit, spending the day being a model was a pretty special experience.

It’s not every day you get to step in front of the camera, try on beautiful outfits and feel a little bit like a star!

The atmosphere on set was fantastic, and it was lovely to be part of a team bringing the festive collection to life.

Although Christmas might seem a little way off, it was impossible not to get excited about the festive season when surrounded by so many lovely outfits.

Marisota’s Christmas collection was all about looking and feeling fabulous, with styles perfect for parties, family gatherings and those special occasions when you want to make a little extra effort.

One of the things I love about fashion is how the right outfit can give you a real confidence boost.

For me, it’s not about being a certain size or shape; it’s about finding clothes that make you feel comfortable, happy and fabulous in your own skin.

Being involved in this shoot was a wonderful reminder that fashion should be fun and that everyone deserves to feel amazing, whatever the occasion.

I loved everything about it. I got to pick out and style my favourite Christmas party outfits from their Winter collection.

Also, how often do you get the chance to have your hair and make up done by a professional make up artist and a photography taking amazing and quality picture for you? Me, never!!!

So here is a selfie I got to take on my phone and in a few days I will share some more I got to take on the day.

In December I will get to share the pictures Marisota taken of me too. So exciting, I can not wait to see them.

The day flew by, and I came away feeling incredibly grateful for the experience. From the excitement of the photo shoot to seeing the Christmas collection come together, it was a lovely opportunity to try something new and make some wonderful memories.

Of course, I couldn’t resist sharing a little Sunday selfie! Sometimes it’s nice to capture those moments when you’re doing something different and stepping outside your comfort zone.

So, here’s to new experiences, a little festive sparkle and always finding reasons to smile. Who knew a Sunday in Manchester could be so much fun?

Have you ever fancied being a model for the day? I’d love to hear about your experiences in the comments below!

Firstly, so does the little red dress ever go out of fashion? Just like the little black dress doesn’t?

I think not!! Because you can not go wrong with a bright red dress and red lipstick. So cheerful!! As well as being beautiful and bright.
