chain mail dress | topshop c/o
oversized faux fur | topshop c/o
70's suede satchel | topshop c/o
count boots | topshop c/o
it's almost december which means one thing.. party wear! (yep don't panic I wasn't heading to the supermarket when I braved wearing this ensemble out in the cold.. )
everyone knows I tend to steer towards the more casual side of fashion, when it comes to nights out my only concession is adding heels alongside my denim jeans. christmas however is the exception- dressing like a human glitter ball is 100% acceptable in my book (more is definitely more!) nobody does party dresses like topshop so I was excited to road test this chainmail number.
their latest holiday campaign is full of my festive favourites (read velvet and sequins.) this slinky silver chain mail dress turns into a sparkly rainbow under lights which makes for perfect 80's-esque dance floor attire. I'm not usually a body con kinda girl but I figured I'd go all out.. and in the spirit of OTT dressing I couldn't not grab this gorgeous oversized animal print faux fur coat. WIN!
I've paired them with some over the knee boots (in an effort to stay warm- I kid you not it was freezing here this week!) these boots fit beautifully and I'm looking forward to wearing them over skinny jeans or with a floaty vintage dress as a daytime option.
I'm currently at my desk in my faux fur, turns out it's more effective at keeping me warm than my central heating..
back soon!

snake boots | topshop
so, todays post is a mini one as I just wanted to share my latest purchase. before I dive into my annual winter coat hunt (yes I'm determined to find 'the one' this year) I wanted to get myself some boots.
my main requirements this season is block heels and texture- either snake effect or 70's suede. I'm super pleased block heels are back, as let's face it I'm pretty lazy so it takes a comfy heel to drag me away from trainers. I did a little dance when I found these topshop boots as they're a great dupe of the KG ones and a fraction of the price.. they're nearly out of stock online but definitely worth keeping an eye out for. the green version is still available and I've linked all my favourite 70's inspired high street footwear below if any of you are a-hunting for some too..
happy shopping!

colour blocked dress: yayer (c/o)
cambridge satchel: asos
satin bomber: american apparel
sliders: topshop
I still have a bit of a crush on pastels so this seriously pretty colour block dress from yayer had PICK ME written all over it. it comes with cute little cami straps so I can wear it over a white tee if I'm feeling a bit 90's but it's still floaty enough to make me feel rather princess-esque.
I nabbed this satin bomber from the aa factory outlet in NYC and I'm still trying to figure out why it was reduced.. possibly because I look like an extra from miami vice in it? who knows.. the mystery continues.
I had intended to wear with some dr marten style chunky boots and leather jacket but I threw on my topshop sliders at the last minute ..I wish I hadn't as the little blighters completely skinned my big toe after 5 minutes so I'm sporting a glam plaster/sandal combo, damn you tissue paper feet.
I shall be going back for seconds though 'cause I love them.. be gentle ugly beautiful sandals.

gingham cigarette trousers: topshop
top: vintage
bag: primark
tag line shoes: office
if you follow me on instagram you might have seen I popped down to cornwall last week... such a beautiful place (it was my first time there so excited was not the word!) our apartment in watergate bay was only a few minutes walk from the beach so we took these photos on our first morning exploring..
it hardly ever occurs to me to buy trousers? I never really need anything smarter than denim on a daily basis but these topshop ones are so easy to wear (if I'm honest it was the gingham swayed me... I heart the stuff.)
I also have to give a shout out for my office flats.. I've not even had to look at a packet of plasters since I started wearing them (those who know my feet will applaud) I have skin like tissue paper so finding shoes this kind is A-mazing.
