What I Wore | Lady in Red

Dress: Britfash*. Fedora: Topshop. Boots: Kurt Geiger via ASOS.

I haven’t really felt like writing much recently. Instead I’ve enjoyed wearing pretty dresses and forgetting about any troubles.

Because, if a girl can’t dress up to shake away the blues, when can she?

With that, a thank you to Britfash is in order - for continuing to fulfill my pretty dress needs.

What I Wore | Feeling Fruity

Shirt: Rose & Pose*. Belt: Vintage. Jeans: Topshop (similar here). Boots: EMU Australia. Lipstick: Topshop Infrared.

I don’t own a terrific amount of blouses, so when I find one that tickles my pickle I get a little excited. I mean come on guys, there are pineapples and parrots, what more could you want?

I love the loose fit and that teamed with my trusty old jeans and booties it becomes a little country – a definite comfort staple if nothing else. To find a statement blouse for under £20 is somewhat a rarity in this day and age, oh hey Topshop, you want me to buy that blouse for £45? Maybe not.

So, are you a fan of pineapple’s? I know you are ;)

Christmas Party Outfit Inspiration #1

Velvet Playsuit: So in Fashion*. Velvet Boots: TK Maxx

The Christmas Party season is fast approaching and although we still have plenty of time to rustle up an outfit, who doesn’t like a little forward planning?

I always associate velvet with Autumn/Winter attire and this playsuit is no exception. From the deep wine colour to the cut out panels, gloriously snug fit and astonishingly affordable £22 price tag it makes for the perfect ‘I should probably treat myself to something new for that Christmas Party’ mind frame we all have.

Winner winner, chicken dinner.

London Flying

Emma Louise Dress c/o: Little Black Dress. Marky Brogues: ASOS. Lipstick: Rimmel Moisture Renew in 'In Love with Ginger'

There comes a time in a girl’s life, when she discovers the website that was made for her.

I pretty much live in dresses and when I discovered this online haven I could’ve died and gone to heaven, but that would’ve been a complete waste of so many beautiful items that are meant to be in my wardrobe. Let me introduce to you Little Black Dress.co.uk - a perfect slice of the web selling amazing dresses that ooze beautiful.

This dress is pretty much perfection in my eyes - it has all the attributes I look for: fuss free, silk, illustration, soft tones and femininity. It’s one of those pieces you can pretty much wear to anything, whether it be to a lovely dinner teamed with heels and a clutch, or dressed down with chunky boots and a leather jacket it has the potential to suit any occasion.

Whilst it’s a pricey little number, you cannot deny it’s quality. Slipping this on I immediately felt like a princess and the soft silk just makes it feel completely glamourous. It’s in the sale at the moment and I’ve got my eyes on a few other pieces from Emma Louise to add to my Christmas wishlist.

If there’s one thing I’m certain of, you’ll be sure to find the best LBD, high end designers and cool party dresses at www.LittleBlackDress.co.uk

Have you found your perfect dress yet? Maybe this site is the one for you too :)

The Coat of Dreams

Fur Waistcoat: Zara. Black Long Sleeved Top: H&M. Supersoft Leigh Jeans: Topshop (similar here). Black Boots: c/o Emu Australia. Navy Socks: Topshop. Belt: Vintage

A few months ago I discovered the coat of dreams. Well it’s not officially a coat, it’s a waistcoat - but potata potarta. Regardless of it's title, it was love at first sight and when my cousin told me about this little beauty I couldn’t wait to get home, google it and add it to my wishlist of things I won’t be able to justify.

However, if a piece of clothing sticks in my mind for more than a few days I know that it’s something I really, really want. So naturally, I saved my little tooshie off in order to purchase it.

It’s a pricey piece but it’s certainly a ‘I can throw this on and not have to worry about the rest of my outfit’ item, which is something that has heaps of value to me! I'm absolutely head over heels and love how different it is to any other piece I own.

When this horrible weather takes over England my main aim with my wardrobe is to be warm and comfortable. Teamed with my Topshop jeans, H&M basic and stupidly comfortable EMU boots I feel I could probably climb a mountain if necessary (maybe not, but you catch my drift). On that note..these boots are the most comfiest things to ever grace my feet. The soles are FUR, yup that’s right, a thick wedge of fur lines the bottom of these beauties making me feel like I’m walking on a cloud – they also have a slight heel which gives me that little extra height to take them from being completely casual to something you can dress up.

I’ve literally been living in this outfit and I don’t ever want to take it off. Not even to have a shower. (I know that’s gross, obviously I’m joking.... ;))

PS thank you to my lovely little sister for taking these snaps for me! We went on a walk around my village and discovered this awesome little lane, oh I do love the countryside :)

They Call it Madness (& rightly so)

Leather front jumper: c/o Triple S Clothing. Leggings: Topshop (similar here). Boots: Urban Outfitters.

A few weeks ago now my family, Daniel and I went to see Madness in concert – I know they’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but they’re my dad’s absolute favourite and growing up listening to their music means I ruddy love them too.

It followed a week where we had had the worst possible weather ever and with the venue being outside we were pretty sure it was going to be awful. But somehow the sun shined all day and the evening was warm and lovely (thank you England). I wasn’t really sure what to wear you know me, I get cold if someone even speaks the word ‘outside’, but I also knew I would be bouncing around dancing with my dad so I didn’t want to be dressed in my thermals.

In the end I opted for this outfit. I whacked some tights on underneath my leggings and thought a ¾ length jumper would be a smart option so that I wasn’t baking hot, but still had some warmth. I’m seeing pleather jumpers everywhere I look at the moment and have to say I’m really quite taken to them. It’s a little bit different but I like the extra detailing it brings to a simple item of clothing and the woollen sleeves are super cosy.

PS. Madness were amazing – obv.

Shaun the Sheep

Gilet: c/o Traffic People. Strap Top: Primark. Belt: Vintage. Leggings: Topshop. Boots: Urban Outfitters. Lipstick: Kate Moss 107

I'm not going to lie, this amazingly fluffy gilet (*shouts: it's so fluffy I'm gonna die!!!* - name that film) is the warmest, cosiest thing I have ever worn in my life ever. I get super cold as soon as the sun isn't shining, even if the weather is still technically warm and with this having no arms I wasn't convinced it would keep me toasty enough..how wrong I was. It is so thick and full that I literally feel like I'm wrapped up in a thick bed of candy floss (that would be amazing).

Because it's quite a statement piece I've just thrown on a strap top and my trusty topshop leggings to cover my modesty ;). Not only is it ultimate comfort, but it feels so soft and I love the way it's segmented into stripes, it helps to break it up a little and stop you looking so much like a sheep..y'know?

Seriously though, so comfy.
