A Little Bit Of Sparkle..

Emerald has and forever will be one of my favourites, if not my main favourite colour. I love jewelled, silky and sparkly fabric tones and this H&M top that I was given at Christmas time was definitely that. An iridescent piece, I was instantly attracted to the sparkle! (as previously mentioned, magpie) and it's the perfect top to compliment some equally fancy trousers when you're going out, the kind of throw on outfit that you don't want to be too much, but yet still appear fancy. Although it's February now I'll still be wearing this at any occasion and I'll be forever on the hunt for more emerald treasures..

New Season Pieces..

We're fully into the swing of February now, and whilst I've tried to resist some of the new season pieces in the shops so far, I've definitely failed.. willpower needed.

Whilst they aren't exactly new or seasonal, some ripped jeans have been on my wishlist for a while to pair with chic separates a la Palermo (swoooon,she's my ultimate style crush). I've seen a lot of lilac and purple in the shops recently which works well for me as it happens to be one of my favourite colours. As I've said before, I'm a sucker for a floppy hat and was looking for one a little more spring appropriate, and whilst it appears dark on some pictures, in the light this Topshop one definitely gives off the pale grey/lilac vibe, perfect for the upcoming months..

In Love With Oh My Love's LBD..

I have a sneaky confession to make.. I've never really been a big fan of the LBD. The little black dress has just never really been a wardrobe favourite of mine, mainly because I gravitate towards anything bright and colourful, or with some form of detail on. (magpieee) I've similarly never been a lover of lace, I think the majority of pieces can often look a little *whispers* dated, however this Oh My Love LBD that features a lace panel across the back is one of my favourite dresses I think I've worn. Instead of being bodycon or uncomfortably tight like lots of dresses, it was the softest and comfiest dress with lots of room to move in, and didn't cling in every single place. I'll definitely be frequenting their website more often, especially for more classic dresses like this one..

Gatsby Glamour..

Missguided. Topshop. River Island. Nearly everywhere you look at the moment every shop or online website is embracing the feathered and fluffy trend, from dresses to co-ords, furry embellishments on heels and bob hats with too cute fluffy pompoms. This dress from Topshop had been on my wish list for a while, the black version seemed to be extremely popular and as soon as I saw the white version it had to be mine. I was attending a 20's themed Christmas dinner party, and while the theme was optional (only about two people stuck to it, I believe!!) I still wanted to give a nod to what I believe is one of the most important Fs in regards to 1920's fashion, feathers and fringe. I included my favourite old faithful nude ASOS clutch and also added gold jewellery and shoes to give it the standard Christmas party sparkle. I wanted to add a few pictures, not the best quality, but at least I had a red carpet to compliment the glamour of the 1920's era...

Season Switch-up..

Zara coats are addictive. I think I'm literally addicted to them. It doesn't matter what season it is or what time of the year but I know whenever summer or winter rolls around there will be at least one coat in Zara I'm coveting. This was the case with this pink coat during the summer season, I resisted for a while and then luckily I managed to find one left in the sale in my size, it was meant to be! The only problem I have with owning too many coats is that I want to wear them all the time, so I thought I'd do a little post today to give some outfit inspo that shows you can wear your coats whatever the weather. I paired this with tights and a cosy white snood to keep the chill away..

Do you have a favourite coat? What do you pair it with?

A Sunday Date With Kate..

Today was one of my favourite days weather wise. Dry, crisp, and with even the sun making an appearance, it made dressing for today all the more fun. While I'm excited to embrace the seasonal weather right now, there's no reason why bright colours and prints can't still be thrown together with darker and tougher pieces to lift what could be a boring and one note outfit. This was the case with my favourite Zara pants (see me wearing a similar green version in my previous post 'Lazy Autumn Nights') I pretty much live in these because not only are they the best fitting pants I own, and trust me, its a struggle for me to find pants to fit, but the leather look version that I am wearing here can lift a casual look in the slightest way. Instead of opting for a jumper or plain top, I chose to pair them with this shirt. I purchased this a while ago in the summer months, but it only had its first outing today. This was due to an unusually stuffy summer here in the UK, so even though this is technically a spring/summery piece, there's nothing wrong with wearing it now, which isn't a hardship for me as I love the contrast between darker and brighter clothes. It also gave me the chance to take my new Kate Spade bag along. I bought this from the Kate Spade outlet in Bicester Village (beware if you ever venture down there, its seriously heaven) as I had been looking for a lighter coloured bag for what felt like ages. This bag was a complete bargain, and although it looks light pink toned on the pictures its actually a gorgeous cream colour, featuring a fun spotted pattern lining inside and three different compartments, so is perfect for when I want to carry my essentials but in a practical and compact bag. Me and cream bags are a recipe for disaster, but I'm going to look after this and guard it with my life...
