Green Velvet

Howdy folks!

Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine, though it'll probably be raining again by the time I've finished this post! I hope you all like green because this post is very. This is part 2 of my St Patrick's Day celebrations. Here's what I wore for the evening drinks with my cousins.

My green velvet dress is from Romwe. Unfortunately it's all sold out on their website, but they have hundreds of other pretty dresses to choose from. My tortoise shell sunnies are from Spitalfields Market.

The best thing about this dress, apart from the super soft velvet touch, is the sweet bow detail and open back. So very girly and totally me!

Check out this little guy lounging around in my Aunty's garden. How cute!

This week I was approached by Relay Rides to share my road trip essentials. Relay Rides is a peer-to-peer car rental service, so whether you're looking for a car to rent or fancy making some dosh by hiring out your own car, this is the site for you! As festival season is upon us, I decided to make a Spotify playlist of my top tracks for when you're on the road. Get ready for lots of acoustic guitars and singalong classics.



Spotify don't do The Beatles, which sucks but did make compiling the list a little easier, so Ike and Tina's rendition of 'Get Back' will have to do. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for reading!

Your Eyes Lie (Happy Birthday Me!)

Hey!!

Sorry I've been a bit bad with the blogging. It was my birthday last week so I celebrated by having a joint birthday house party with my my housemate Elie. It gave me the chance to wear my new dress from Your Eyes Lie. Check it out!

This 'Highbury' Printed Cutout dress is perfect for a birthday party with it's balloon like print. I paired it with my sparkley knee tighst and silver block heeled Mary Jane's by Red or Dead from Schuh.

My necklace is from New Look. Its actually made up of navy triangle gems with diamontes and silver. They have this similar black and gold one available on the site. Here's me with birthday boy Elie. I think my camera was drunk as this photo came out quite a bit blurry...oops!

My heels were so high I had to crouch down in this photo so I didn't make Elie look too small :)

My brother bought me the best present this year. He took me to the Harry Potter Studio Tour!! Anyone who knows me will know how much I love Harry Potter (RonRon <3 br=""> Thanks for reading. I'll be back tomorrow...I hope!

Get The Look - Sally Field's 2013 Oscar Dress

It seems everyone is talking about Sally Field's red Valentino dress from last nights Oscar Awards. She looked absolutely stunning but unfortunately we don't all have the life style which gives us the opportunity to walk around in a trailing gown. Captain Charghley to the rescue! I've found some alternatives that don't require an invite to a prestigious awards ceremony.

This cute little red number by Jarlo is currently on sale for just £21 over at Coggles. The vibrant colour of love and sweetheart neckline would make this a great dinner date dress. You can see how I have styled the dress over on ASOS's Fashion Finder here.

ASOS offer a wide range of sweet and girly red dresses, including this adorable balloon embroidered collar dress by Nishe. Or how about this super cool skater dress with embroidered stud shoulder detail.

Proving red isn't just for Valentine's Day, why not add some romantic chiffon to your outfit!

Dorothy Perkins AW 11 Collection

Dorothy Perkins have released pictures of their new collection set to hit their stores for Autumn/Winter. Ever since clasping eyes on this collection I have been lusting over their Monochrome shifts and colour blocking pieces. Here's a few of my favourites that I will most definitely be saving up for.

This top is a very good replica of the tops we saw back at the start of this year from Chanel's Paris Fashion Week runway show for their Spring/Summer collections. It's an easy cut to wear with a pretty, sparkly pattern.

The reason I'm most looking forward to winter arriving is to dig out my lovely thick coat! This furry number is great if you fancy yourself as a Cruella Deville but with a heart. It is certain to warm your frozen bones during those chilly nights.

Love, love, LOVE the colour of this blazer. This is positive to brighten up those dark, cold nights and leave a mark at the Christmas party.

Now I couldn't pick my favourite dress so here's them all. Firstly the skater dresses.

Such simple, easy to wear design. Pair with colourful tights and thick block heels.

Now we're going back to the 60s with these Wiggle dresses - Think Mad Men's Joan.

It's time to embrace your curves. Just because winter is approaching, doesn't mean we can't still be sexy. Perfect for the office and a cheeky night out.
