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).
Last night was the Law Society Christmas do at my University, i.e. the perfect excuse to wear my new beautiful embellished dress by Lashes of London! The Ramona dress has been featured in the press after being worn on the X Factor by contestant Ella Henderson, and I 100% think it deserves the attention as it is a stunning piece – I got so many compliments! The dress comes with shoulder pads inbuilt, however I chose to remove them (extremely easy to do without damaging the dress, and it will be no problem to put them back if I want to) as I have fairly square shoulders and so accentuating them is not something which I think suits me. However, if you don’t have this problem then the square shoulders combined with the embellishment make it a real statement dress whilst the more understated lower half of the dress keeps it classy and elegant at the same time.
Last night I wore the Ramona dress with a simple pair of blue court shoes which matched the colour of some of the sequins in the shoulders of my dress (£8 from Primark), and of course I used my beautiful Vivvy W handbag!
The dress is quite pricey at £115, but if you have a special occasion lined up then it’s worth splashing out on and you can get 10% off your first order with Lashes by following the link at the top of their homepage. I would say that the sizing of the dress is true to size or if anything a little large – I am wearing a size 6 here and it fits, however it is not tight to my skin so if you prefer your dresses tight then I would recommend buying a size down.
