Prizes Needed for WIWT Humble Sale Raffle
On the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of April, WIWT are hosting a 'Humble Sale' in aid of The British Heart Foundation.
As well as WIWT users being able to sell their pre-loved clothes to one another, there's gonna be a mega fantastic raffle. This is where you come in, brand managers and PR people!
WE NEED PRIZES
We want the raffle to be a huge success, so that means we need lots of prizes. People will be able to buy their raffle tickets at the Humble Sale all weekend AND The British Heart Foundation will be selling them online so that those out of London can join in too, which they'll want to once they see the fabulous prizes you've donated ;)
Every penny raised from selling the raffle tickets will go directly to The British Heart Foundation, so if you can support their life saving work by offering up a prize - big or small! - then please do.
We will of course give you plenty of love on Twitter and be blogging with plenty of pics and links about the prizes.
Email poppy@wiwt.com if you can help.
Thank you xxx

Wanna have a drink in Manchester this Saturday?
All WIWT users will have now been sent their WIWT party invite for the 20,000 outfit shindig that's taking place in London on March 19th, but we know London isn't the heart of everything...it really isn't! So we're gonna make an effort to travel a bit more around the country this year for community events....and hopefully that will include some exciting international playtime too!
It makes sense that this first little round of informal drinks (and maybe dancing?) takes place in WIWT's second city - MANCHESTER.
There's no fancy plan, as this is admittedly quite last minute!, but if you want me to buy you a drink (me being Poppy, I can't do this third person bollocks) and you're a WIWT fan in Manc then come out this Saturday - March 10th - and say hey.
The iwhoretees gang are also travelling up from London, so it should be a raucous eve.
I'm going to suggest we meet at The Alchemist at 7pm, but email me if you wanna come down and I'll make sure you get all the deets if anything changes etc etc. As it may do depending on numbers. All deets will obvs be on the WIWT Twitter account too if we move on to another bar and so on.
Like I said, it's informal, but come get some gin down your neck and celebrate all things fash-un and Manchestery. Meet your fellow WIWT users, bring some mates etc etc. I won't make you wear name tags. It'll be a laff.
So yeah, email me if you wanna keep in the loop on the Manc plans!

I spy with my little eye....somebody seriously stylin'
Before Moo came along it was always hard to get excited by printing business cards. I'm a big Moo fan though.
Want proof? Check out my (battered) Oyster card holder...
I really do believe in him!
I was getting some new sets of my own biz cards printed by Moo...
Phone number removed in case you are a mentalist/salesperson
So I thought it would be a good idea to get some generic ones printed too that the WIWT team can carry some with them at all times to hand out to the seriously stylish peeps we meet on our travels.
So if you see someone perving over your shoes on the tube and then handing you one of the cards above, take it as a compliment. We want your outfit on WIWT.
Thank you Little Moo!

Independent on Sunday - WIWT Review
We were very excited when reading our Sunday papers this weekend! WIWT has been featured by the lovely lot at The Independent on Sunday. In the article 'Dawn of the Digital Stylist', journalist Genevieve Roberts tries out the WIWT app - and rates it highly! 'I'm flattered when my dress attracts 3 stars - strangers' objective approval counts double that of friends'. Well said!
You can read the article online on the Independent website. Thanks Genevieve - come back and show us more outfits!
WIWT Roundup - Autumn Colour & Prints
Despite a cold snap we've seen some very colourful jazzy outfits this week on WIWT.
A great example of how to do transitional dressing; team your printed summer dresses and colour block vests with faux fur, thick tights and leather.
We like. For more of this week's fave outfits go to our Facebook page.
WIWT Roundup - Heatwave Dressing
There's been one subject on everyone's lips in the UK this week - HEATWAVE. After a disappointing (yet hardly unexpected) good old English damp squib of a summer, we've suddenly been blessed with a week of hot hot sunshine.
Obviously being British, most of the nation is satorially unprepared for such incidents. Most of us panicked ('Do I need to get my legs out?', 'Is this white minidress office appropriate', 'Do I care?'), yet some looked all chic and mediterranean and cool.
On WIWT this week we've seen a huge amount of the latter - stylish, smiling, sunshiny people looking very hot. These are our faves from the week of the heatwave.
