The pinafore trend might be everywhere at the moment, but it’s too damn cute to pass up! Yesterday I wore this coral pinafore dress from Desire Clothing, which also comes in four other great colours and is a bargain at £16. I paired it with what has become my new favourite t-shirt from SheInside, trusty Vans Sk8 His and Illamasqua lipstick in ‘Scandal’ which I got during their half price offer and is a perfect match with this dress. I couldn’t be more excited about the warm weather we’ve had this weekend!
I’m sure you’re all bored to death of my thing for monochrome at the moment, but here is yet another black and white look! I love this dress from Ravi Famous*, the fit & flare skater style is flattering on so many figure types and the flocked black and white floral print is a really pretty take on monochrome. I wore the dress outfit out to a meal for my grandma’s birthday this weekend with my sparkly but super sophisticated MissGuided jacket (which you can pick up on sale here) and pointed toe-cap flats from BooHoo which I’m obsessed with and definitely need in more colours!
Are you bored of monochrome yet?
Today I wore a fairly simple outfit and layered a cardigan and a big coat over the top for the horrible cold weather! This Wildfox-esque jumper from Romwe is still one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe, and I think it looks great paired with jeans or leggings for a fairly relaxed look. On my feet I wore these super cute ballet pumps from Redfoot, which are also great to take on a night out for when your killer heels start actually killing you, as they fold up and come with a little pouch which is perfect for your handbag!
On the subject of handbags, I recently received this gorgeous bag from Brand Village and it has been my go-to everyday bag since! Unlike the Primark bags I tend to favour, it is great quality as well as being nice looking. This particular bag is the ‘DSUK Snake Print Tote Bag’ in ‘light taupe’, but there are plenty to choose from on the site. I finished off my outfit with some rose gold jewellery – a chunky necklace from H&M and a gorgeous lizard shaped ring from Amorium Jewellery (below).
Is there such thing as too many Christmas party dresses? Obviously not! My second for the season (following the gorgeous Belle dress from Jones and Jones I blogged about here last week) is this beautiful metallic gold and black number by worldwide dress specialist Chi Chi. The dress combines two of the biggest trends for the season: baroque and peplum. It features a hidden zip and an elasticated back for a better fit, and also a flattering and practical padded bust. Search for the ‘Rita’ dress on the Chi Chi website to purchase it on sale for a bargain £28.99, or check out the Casey dress if you’d prefer this look in an icy white and silver.
Pair the dress with a bright red lip and big platform heels for a bold statement, or a nude lip, big messy hair and smokey eyes for something more relaxed.
My Agyness Deyn x Dr Martens 1490 boots are perfect for the foul rain we’ve been having this week, for once my feet are dry all day! I recently received this gorgeous Wildfox-esque jumper from Romwe and couldn’t wait to wear it, so I decided to create a tough but girly look by pairing it with my big boots and Jovonna London leather sleeves trench coat.
I’m also really loving rose gold at the moment, I just bought the necklace I’m wearing here and a matching bracelet from H&M and I’m dying for a rose gold Marc Jacobs or Michael Kors watch to match!
