Let's Plant Some Flowers

Looking forward to: Autumn/Winter flowers. Not the ones you plant. I am no Gardener. The flowers you wear. Call me an Autumn/Winter flower horse. An exotic breed, I tell ya.

Standing In The Spotlight

In all my shopping years on this planet, I don't think I have ever bought anything decent in the post Christmas sales. Do I really want a ratty last season bikini, just because it's €10 cheaper? Eh, no. No, I do not! However, when I spotted this teal and gemstone collar encrusted dress in Warehouse, I just couldn't resist. This was my first purchase of the year, perhaps the dress is a symbol of how shiny, bright and sparkly 2011 will be? I hope so!

This dress makes the rest of my clothes look dull and lifeless. I love how demure, but bold it is.  So, a belated New Years resolution- buy more colour! After all, colour me beautiful is the motto this Spring/ Summer. This dress will play a special role for me on Thursday. It will be my graduation dress. Graduating in teal and sparkle, yes, I cannot wait.

So, what was your first purchase this new year? Do you like my dress, or is it a bit too bright for your taste? As always, I love to know what you think!

Dress: Spotlight by Warehouse

Disco

A question for you and you: What do I go for this Christmas party season? The plain black, but stunning wide legged jumpsuit? I can accessorise this to the max. Or do I go for the Rose/ Gold sequined ultimate party dress. Because sometimes, you need to let a dress be the accessory, also.

My Make-up is done, so too is my hair, I even have the fake eyelashes glued on, so what do I go for?

I'm thinking that beautiful sequined Topshop dress, but then this Warehouse jumpsuit melts my heart. Oh, decisions decisions!

Make it easier and let me know which one you would choose?

Topshop Rose Dress, £120

Warehouse Black Wide Legged Jumpsuit, £70

My Wardrobe needs a Make-Over.

My wardrobe is still full to the the brim of Summer pieces, and there is nothing more off putting, than seeing flip flops in the shoe section or skimpy sun dresses, when it is lashing rain outside.

I haven't done a  virtual wish list in ages, the reason? I always get muddled and its not half as fun. Online shopping, whilst very convenient, can get quite tedious. There is nothing better than walking into a shop, full of New Season clothing and having a good root around. You just can't do that on the Internet.

However, I have put together a mini-want/ need list. I have seen & tried on a few of these items in the actual stores, so I really do like them. A bit practical, perhaps? Yes, perhaps! I am very good at wanting a €1000 bright pink coat, but when it comes down to facts, I would never in a million years be able to afford that, or get away with wearing it two/ three days in a row, if I wished to do so. Therefore, I have picked some Autumn/ Winter trends, that I really, really would like to see in my wardrobe. Anything would be better than its current state of affairs!
