We found love in a hopeless place

Outfit:
Black embelished peter pan collar chiffon shift dress: Next via Choice
Multi coloured glittery bag: Primark
Multi coloured glitter nail varnish: OPI Rainbow Collection
Sparkly ball ring: C/O Stella & Dot
Diamond drop earrings: Dorothy Perkins

This bag is perhaps the most Essex thing that I own, completely verging on chavvy but I absolutely love it! I admit I brought it because it matched my nails, I tried to hunt down the shoes that Hannah has brought but failed. I am falling out of love with it rapidly though as it completely ruined my dress. Destroyed the chiffon completely and the dress is now fit for the bin. Going to hunt around in Choice to see if I can purchase another one because it really is the perfect party season dress. Next time I will take a smooth bag and maybe not drink as much wine...

I was very kindly given the ring at work by my boss who was sent it from a PR. Isn't it lovely? It seemed very apt for my first Christmas party of the season. Once again I stole the shoes off my friend, although I woke up this morning panicking that I had lost them because I could not find them anywhere in my room. Luckily I had left them in her boyfriend's car. They were one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn on a night out so am now on a mission to hunt them down on ebay.

Did you all have a lovely weekend?

Nothing really matters when we're dancing


Outfit:
Black and white polka dot blouse with a peter pan collar: Primark
Pleather shorts: Topshop
Black oversize faux fur coat: C/O Motel Rocks
Polka dot spotty tights: Primark
Glittery toed black suede shoes: Kurt Gieger

This was suppose to go up quite a few weekends ago but only got hold of the photos as my email is pants!

How frigging amazing in my new coat very kindly gifted to me by Motel Rocks after I attended their blogger event. I cannot thank them enough, it really is such a gorgeous piece! I feel so warm and snuggly, perfect for the cold snap we seem to be having at night. I haven't taken it off since I got it. Anyone else think that the evenings are getting colder?

Like I said a few weeks ago, I had a much needed girls night out. It consisted of lots of dancing, far too many shots, lots of giggles and a classic chicken doner kebab. I need to do it all over again as soon as possible. Just as well then we have another night out planned for tonight! Sadly these shoes do not belong to me, I stole them off my friend for the photos. She really does have one of the most amazing shoe collections I have ever seen, puts me to shame! Luckily she is the same size as me...

Motel have very kindly offered my readers a generous exclusive discount code, see the button in the sidebar. I have my eye on this dress, how perfect is it for the festive season! Why not treat yourself to two for £50 as an early Christmas present too!

Yuki Christmas Press Day

I was very kindly invited along to the Yuki press day again by the lovely Priya and once again had a great time pawing over all the pretty clothes. Looks like Yuki has done it again!

We were all very spolit with some gorgeous cupcakes, tasty smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches, a nice catch up with Hannah and Lily as well as some very strong cocktails. Even a bit too strong for a cocktail lover like me ;)



Yuki really do have some gorgeous pieces, I always love their attention to detail. A quirky print or a pretty frill really do help give the clothing that extra oomph. I particularly loved the knitwear, one piece that really stood out for me was the jumper with the textured hearts on. I can think of a million outfits that this would be perfect for!

Once again I was drawn to the dress, something that frequently happens! These two just happen to be my favourite. I love the simplicity of the first dressed, perfect to be dressed up or down. Makes it great to wear to work on a Friday when you are going out for cocktails in the evening!

I just adore the colour of the second dress. Wine is fast beginning my to go colour whenever I go shopping. Gorgeous isn't it?


Thank you ever so much for the invite and the amazing goodie bag, love the cardigan!
