Spotty Dotty | QueenBeady

Co-Ord Set C/O Blue Vanilla | Knee High Boots New Look | Clutch John Lewis | Watch Olivia Burton | Bracelet C/O Links of London

Sometimes before I put on an outfit I look at it & I automatically pull one of those ‘’distressed emoji’’ faces. You know the ones I’m talking about, right? Will it fit me in the right places? Will I look like an ‘’Oompa Loompa’’? But then, then you put it on and all those fears are completely quashed because you have fallen on to an absolute winner. You also know that feeling, right? This is that outfit. I teamed this fabulous co-ord from Blue Vanilla with my brand new boots from the New Look Sale & clutch from the John Lewis sale, respectively. This is clearly going to be one of those staple, go-to outfits in the blustery, winter months we are having! I hope you are all wrapping up warm & keeping safe in these treacherous winds. I’m very much looking forward to the spring time, are you?

Suited & Booted | QueenBeady

Jacket Zara | Top Topshop | Jeans Topshop | Shoes New Look

No, I’m not really suited & booted as such. But, I find that adding a simple structured jacket to an outfit can seriously set you apart in the style stakes. I probably sound very ”conservative” (whom, I would like to add I have no loyalties to!) when I say this, yes you can give a woman a pair of shoes & she will conquer the world as someone quite famous said, however, if you give a woman a structured jacket she will dominate.

It was love at first sight when this Zara jacket arrived on my doorstep with all it’s tags on & packaged up, barely touched & not even sniffed at. It was another one of my fabulous bargains that I had swiped on eBay for a menial sum of money for such a good quality piece of clothing. I seem to be getting very good at that!

I don’t always want to look too dressy but I want to be seen to making an effort, it’s just the way I’m engineered. So, I paired it with my Topshop Peter Pan collared short sleeve cotton shirt & a pair of Topshop Leigh Jeans (very forgiving!). There is something about an outfit like this that is so multifunctional for a number of events, from a day trip shopping with friends or even a meeting with work. I like outfits that can serve a multitude of purposes & this does just that.

Have you got a go-to outfit that never fails you?

Christmas Party Dress picks | Guest Blogger Mode-Lily

First of all, hello everyone! Hope you’re having fabulous December, enjoying chai lattes, hot chocolates, Christmas markets, cosy jumpers and ridiculously cold mornings! I’m Dash, (if-I-have spare-time-on-my-hands) blogger from Leeds, you can find me over at Mode Lily, and if you fancy read my rumble about fashion, beauty (every now and then) and my (wanna-be-interesting) life go ahead and visit my blog. As Rebecca’s reader, follower and a blogging friend, I was thrilled to write for her little space in blogosphere, so I really do hope you enjoy it! I’m actually here to share with you my Christmas party dresses picks, so sit back and enjoy!

Nothing screams “party dresses” more than Christmas and yes, this party season is upon us! I have my work Christmas do in less than two weeks and as a right girly girl (ehm ehm, can I say that when I’m 30?) I’ve been picking my dress for a month now. And I love it picking the right dress and I love moaning about it as well!

The sheer amount of party dresses out there is unbelievable. So many
different colours and styles, from comfy to sexy, from elegant to rock
chic. SO, to make it easy for you, I’ve made a collage with my favourite picks and I’m going to talk about the ones I believe are the greatest standouts. Amazingly ladies, jumpsuits are still happening this season! I’m massive fan of jumpsuits as they offer great comfort for girls that would love to look trendy, classy but just don’t enjoy wearing dresses that much. The trick is making it look standout so don’t worry to go brave with accessories and I’m sure the spotlight will be yours. My second favourite pick is this she sparkly Asos dress. I know, it is for the brave but I say why not? Be a femme fatale in this sexy number and embrace the night.

It’s alright to cover up this winter and still look chic. I felt in love with this lace fishtail maxi dress
in pink and I can see myself wearing it. It would be great to create the perfect snow princess party look. I’m also attending a winter wedding, so I can imagine I could quite easily transform this dress into a wedding outfit. Also, the flower dress by Planet and the pink embellished flapper dress would create the perfect classy Christmas party look. The blue dress by Ted Baker tells another story. It’s gorgeous, elegant, well fitted and this shade of blue, to me, represents true winter colour. You can’t go wrong with this one. If these picks are too classy for you and you only need something more party like, I would suggest a playsuit as a perfect Christmas party look. This Warehouse playsuit keeps it stylish but also it holds kind of a cool model-off-duty edge. Don’t you agree?

Hope you enjoyed our time together and if you have time, let me know which Christmas party dress idea was your favourite!

Yours truly,
Dash

Tartan & Breton Stripes | QueenBeady

Camel Coat Hand me down | Breton Top Zara | Chinos Mango | Shoes Primark | Scarf Barbour

Tartan & breton stripes have to be my perfect combination. Are you all with me on that one? I don’t know about you, but when Autumn comes I love to mix patterns to create a brighter and stand out look against all the tree’s & plants that have browned over.

There is something ever so ‘’Parisian’’ about this look that I can imagine walking down Montmartre & taking in the sights of the Eiffel Tower and drinking tea in quaint little coffee shops.

I have been lusting over the camel coloured coats recently and could not believe my luck when my little sister decided to pass on her coat to me (there is nothing I love more than a hand me down so I can give it a new lease of life!) this has firmly stayed on recently and never want to take it off it’s that cosy!

My shoes are also a particular favourite of mine too! These faux snake skin shoes were a steal from Primark recently and they have not come off my feet. So comfy & versatile they can do no wrong in my eyes!

How would you style breton stripes or tartan would clash like I have?

Making Paisley Print Chic | QueenBeady

Jacket C/O WearAll.com | Shirt Zara (eBay) | Trousers Topshop | Shoes New Look | Rings 770diamonds & Primark

I adore paisley print. People may associate it with Festivals and a summer vibe but I don’t see why you can’t bring it 100mph in to Autumn? For me it’s a delicate print and all the different lines, swirls and mini patterns send me in to a wondrous frenzy because you never know where it will go.

I recently picked up this gorgeous chiffon Zara shirt from eBay & I blagged it as cheap as chips. I was too excited to receive it & I gave it my first outing last week. I have to say I’m always a little cautious with shirts but this one fit just right and I felt fabulous in it.

I teamed with my black leathers because why not? They a super flattering and elongate your legs. What more could you possibly want from a pair of trousers?

My black barely there heels from New Look always manage to complete a look perfectly, probably because they are just so elegant and effortless.

For those cooler nights I would wear a light jacket, purely because I get too hot with anything else. This zip detail waterfall jack from WearAll.com is perfect to just pop on over an outfit and I love the shape to it, it’s so slimming! It really creates that androgynous, tailored style.

Last but not least, where would an outfit be without a little accessorising? I picked up these midi rings from Primark recently and I have found myself wearing them all the time! They complimented the darker, autumnal tones to the outfit.7
