Slow Night, So Long

Dress: Little Mistress (c/o), Necklace: H&M

It's safe to say, I've found my new favourite party dress! Little Mistress is definitely the place to look if you're in the market for a glamorous new dress for this year's Christmas festivities! I adore the lace detailing on this dress, and how it overlaps the skirt - creating a very flattering effect. Also, the cream against the navy is a beautiful contrast, and gives it a vintage feel.

To extenuate the vintage style of the dress, I thought a pocket watch necklace was the perfect accessory! I picked this up in H&M almost a year ago now, but I know you can still find this style everywhere! It's the perfect necklace, and it goes with almost anything!

As for hair, when it comes to parties I'm never too sure how to style mine! I'm definitely a hair down kind of girl - updo's just aren't my style! So, I stuck to curling it in my trademark style, put pinned the sides up to give it more of a party feel!

Have you checked out Little Mistress? Where are you getting your Christmas party dress from this year? I'd love some festive inspiration!!

Summertime Sadness

 

Dress: Lavish Alice (c/o), Shoes: New Look, Bracelets: H&M

Enjoying my summer dresses while I still can, I wore this gorgeous Lavish Alice dress last weekend. I love classic skater style of this dress, its a beautiful shape and really does make me feel very womanly when I wear it. I'm thinking I'll probably save this one for my cousin's wedding in October now. Do you think it's wedding guest appropriate? 

Currently, I am packing to go on my holidays tomorrow! Tidying the house so we don't come back to a dusty bomb site and make our holiday blues a thousand times worse! Jack and I are off to Barcelona - we headed there in 2011 and loved it so much that we're going again! Can anyone recommend any good places to visit while we're there?

Weather looks like a mixed bag currently, rain some days, high 20's on others, so I'm just hoping some sunshine will hold out for us!

I've also got some exciting news - I start my new job on the week after I return! I will be moving into Digital Marketing and I am so, so very excited! It's a secondment role, so there is a possibility I may move back into my current role when my contract is up, but I'm really looking forward to gaining some experience in the field and getting my foot in the door!

Anyway, I will say adiós for now, I'm off to chase some sunshine!

My Birthday Wishlist: Michael Kors Watch

 

Sources: One, Two, Three, Four, Five

Seeing as my birthday is approaching (10th September), I have started to put some thought into what will be on my wish list this year. I also thought a good way to document this as I'm hit with inspiration is to post it on my blog too, and see what everyone else thinks. So, currently my biggest want would be a new watch. But not any old watch, a Michael Kors watch. 

More than often I find myself browsing the web, cooing over these gorgeous, chunky, statement timepieces! But it usually doesn't take too long for me to come flying back down to earth when I realise my bank account just doesn't feel the same way. So I figured, why not just bite the bullet and put it on my birthday list? I think these watches are ideal for occasion gifts and would make any style conscious lady's dreams come true!

As for me,  I just can't make my mind up which style I prefer! I love the rose gold and the large numbers on the Chronograph watch, but then the chunky weight of the Oversized Gold Chronograph absolutely takes my breath anyway! Anything that shiny and bold cannot be missed!! The great thing about the Michael Kors watches is how even though every other blogger has one, they have become absolutely timeless and still is a real statement piece - I don't see them going out of trend any time soon.

So, mum - can I have a Michael Kors' for my birthday? ;)
