Feeling a little Blue? | QueenBeady

Top New Look | Trousers New Look | Loafers Aldi | Bracelets Mulberry & C/O Links of London

Sometimes, and I mean sometimes, I just want to rock a super casual look. Pale blue & patterned trousers are possibly two of my favourite looks at the moment and will be firmly coming in to the spring time with me. I tend to go oversized on most of my top garments, purely to cover up the ever growing lumps that I can graciously call my breasts. You laugh, but they can be a pain in the bottom. The loafers are a bargain buy that I found in Aldi (yes, you did hear me right. Aldi.) and they are really comfy. I just adore my bracelets and despite being two different metals, rose gold and silver, respectively, they just add to any outfit. It’s all about the details. Have you picked up any pieces that you were surprised of the quality recently?

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?

When Your Mini-Me has to Step In | QueenBeady

Top Fred Perry | Jeans C/O DressKode

So, Christmas is a time for friends & family oh and wait a minute… overindulging! So much so that I was recently bulging at the seams trying to fit in to an outfit I wanted to share with you. My wonderful cousin stepped in to my shoes & paraded around in my latest arrival from DressKode & obviously rocked it. The high waisted jeans are super flattering & can pull in any waist (except, maybe not mine!) She teamed it with a pink Fred Perry top which is one of her absolute staple pieces. She was quite taken with these jeans and said that they were surprisingly comfy too. Thank goodness for my mini-me stepping in! Have you overindulged over the festive period too?

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
