Polka dots and news update!

Hey everyone!

Sorry I've been away for so long. I have been really busy and just haven't had time to blog! I did some guest blogging for Evans, which you can find here. Yesterday, I did a shoot for the magazine Diva, about my personal style. I had some photos taken and answered a few questions. The magazine isn't out yet, but I will let you all know when it is!

I thought I would take this opportunity to post a couple of OOTD's too. The first outfit I wore to work today, and the second is what I wore out to Wagamama's with Kara on Saturday evening.

I know I have already shown you this dress back in August, but I really enjoy wearing it, and it's versatile enough to wear in all seasons.

Dress: Evans, Shoes: Rocket Dog via Ebay, Cardigan: Matalan, Tights: Primark, Earrings: a gift


I've had these shoes for ages, and they have a tiny kitten ish type heel, which wore away really quickly. I found them in my wardrobe, and finally got round to repairing them!

I got the earrings as a gift from Femmie lala. I love them as they are really big and stand out!

Dress: Evans, Belt: Big Bum Jumble, Cardigan thing: Big Bum Jumble, Tights: Primark (years ago), Shoes: New Look

This outfit was me experimenting with a bit of colour. I really like how the yellow and royal blue match. (I was a bit worried about how it would look) I just love how co-ordinated and matched it all is!

I am SO excited about Plus London! I have got an evening outfit sorted out, but still no day one. I have a few ideas, but you will have to wait and see ;-)

New year outfit - Spot the difference!

Hey everyone!

I hope you are all well, and you all had a great Christmas and New year.

I have been so slack not posting in AGES! I had so much time off during the holidays and had so many outfit posts planned, but I left mine and my gf's camera at my house, and I was at her house for Twixmas. I was extra annoyed because we went to the Isle of Wight for a short break, and would have loved to have taken some photos there, too. Never mind! I am back now and normal blogging shall resume!


This is the outfit that I wore for New Years Eve. I can't really call it an Outfit of the Night really, as I didn't have my camera on the actual night, so I have come home today and changed into exactly what I wore to post here now.


Dress: Yours Clothing,Shoes: Evans Tights: Not sure, probably Primark! Necklace: Accessorize

In the second photo you can see the shoes better. These were a recent purchase from the Evans sale. I really like them as the heel is the perfect height without being uncomfortable and I think the grey is slightly different and softer to wear with an all black outfit.

The dress is the dress I tried on when I went to Yours Clothing HQ. I absolutely love it. I think it's designed to be more of a tunic, but I like to wear things slightly shorter anyway, so have teamed it up with tights. It would also look good with leggings or jeggings as well. My favourite part is definitely the big, puffy sleeves. They just make me feel good!(And, obviously in keeping with my obsession with the 80's)

The necklace is new as well. This was from the Accessorize sale. I love it as it is REALLY big and eye catching. I often find that dainty jewellery doesn't suit me, it just doesn't match my personality and style, (I hope that doesn't sound too crazy?) so when I spotted this in store I snapped it up!

The next 2 photos is just me playing about with different colours and accessories, and coming up with ideas of how to wear the dress next time.

Necklace: Primark, Belt: Evans, Tights: Marks and Spencer (I think)
Dress and shoes: As before.

I think the pearls give the velvet a different look, almost a more glamorous look. The belt is sequin and I just added it as a little extra, to make it look a bit different and slightly more dressy.

I added the purple tights instead of the black, as I think purple and grey always look good together. The purple just breaks it up a bit as well and makes it look more fun!

I also coloured my hair slightly darker just before New Year. It's now more of a darker red. Not really sure how I feel about it yet! I change my mind so often. I am desperate to go blonde again like I was in my teens, but am scared my hair might fall out!

Happy New year everyone... Here's to a great 2011!
