That Dress...

Merry Christmas Everyone!

New Year is approaching fast, and we're all trying to find that perfect New Year dress. Something seasonal, warm, comfortable, flattering, magical. We all have many different requirements for this one garment, so it is essential that we find the right one.  I usually go for something that is loose, warm and will stay in place all night . Lets be honest, most of us will probably not be looking our best when the bells strike twelve thanks too our old friend tequila. But digital photography is ever so popular these days and no one wants to start the new year finding a photo of themselves obliviously dancing with half their bum cheek on show. Here are a few of my favourites I've found so far .

All of these dresses would look good with or without tights, it just depends on what you're comfortable in. 

Which one is your favourite ? 

Recent Purchase.

The weekend is finally upon us,  and since I finished at 3 today There was still some light to catch a few wee snaps of my most recent purchases.

This black maxi dress is a life saver if you're in a rush and just want to be comfy. It's from Monki.com and just reminds me of walking around in a blanket, perfect for work and casual days. Pair with a bold necklace and a wooly jumper.

 I managed to pick up this daisy chain in forever 21 for a VERY reasonable price, it's perfect for brightening up some of the plainer things in the wardrobe.

Finally this cute wee hair bow also from Forever 21. I've been trying to find a clip on bow for ages which is small enough to fit on my head. This one is nice and dainty and adds a wee zing to any bun or pony. 

Outfit Inspo. 24/10/13

Sawubona!

I was a wee bit bored this evening and decided to occupy myself by doing a quick inspo. post . By the time I get home from work these days all the light has gone, but I hope to do some more photography posts this weekend ! 

This denim dress is a staple in my wardrobe and is good in hot and cold weather  .Wear it casual or glammed up with some jewels and wedged boots. The oversized coat is very popular this season and I managed to grab a bargain in h&m with this beige one last Autumn. The black boots jazz it up and of course the tartan scarf brings more vibrance and colour to the outfit.

Outfit Inspo.

Hey guyz

I've been meaning to do an inspo post for ages.

Since the temperature seems to have dropped to -100 degrees here in Edinburgh it's time to wrap up and layer up. I would most likely throw a pair of thick tights into the mix with this combo but lets face it , tights aren't pretty. I've chosen to accessorise less as the pattern on the dress is so bold against the block colours on the jumper and coat. Layering a smock dress up with a woolly jumper and over sized coat is one of my favourite look this A/W. 

Try it you'll love it.

OOTD 18/09/13

I had a late start at work today so thought I would actually make an effort before everything got covered in smoothie. I just bought this Pinafore from Forever 21 which is great. It didn't break the bank and you can wear it over and over again and make it look different every time. There's so many variations of pinafore's out there right now whether it's a patterned or a plain.

Wear your Pinafore with a basic tee in the daytime or a detailed crop top in the evening, tights, an over sized bag and some chunky boots. 

Country Gal...

Sorry I haven't posted in so loong ! I've been away in far flung places.

I'm up north at the moment so decided to take advantage of the intermittent sunshine and lovely surroundings. I went down to the river and took photos based on 4 outfits, which turned out alright I think.

I'm such a fan of pastel colours and think they work all year round, also I love a cheeky wee peter pan collar. the scrunchie is making it's way back into the spot light. Hope ya enjoy.
