You're looking a little shirty

Maurie and Eve Sedgwick Dress

Equipment Lucida Dress

Equipment Lucida Dress in Animal Print

Zara shirt style tunic

So the new trend in town is the shirt style dress, and I have to say I'm loving it!

I first fell in love with the Maurie and Eve Sedgwick shirt style dress. At first glance, this dress looks really cool and understated but when you give this dress the time, the frost floral faint pattern and the brassy gold collar tips make this little shirt dress something really special. 

I do need this pretty dress in my life!

The second and third shirt style dresses are by the brand Equipment and like Maurie and Eve they really are gorgeous, quality looking dresses. I love the striped collar and the contrasting button placket on the second dress and as for the leopard print..... who doesn't need a little leopard print dress in their lives?

When I saw the Zara shirt style tunic dress I thought, what a perfect cover up for over your bikini on holiday or wear it opened with the sleeves rolled up over your cut off shorts, tank top & some chunky jewels. At only £35.99 this is a good investment item too!

So ladies, give your body-con and bandage style dresses a well deserved rest and invest in a pretty little shirt style dress for this new season.

 

Today's Look

I just love, love, love this outfit from the Australian brand Bec and Bridge
The floral shirt is really pretty and delicate looking and looks gorgeous tucked into the burnt-orange suede high-waisted shorts. I'd also wear this shirt with a pair of classic flared blue jeans and some high wedged heels or platform sandals.

We are Handsome

I love this Grizzly bear print bikini from the Australian designer We are Handsome

I think I just might have to get this bikini for wearing on my honeymoon this year as I just love it!
I'd add some chunky gold bangles or a statement necklace for a stylish but playful beach look.

Pale and Interesting

Ksubi Jeans

Pencey Tank

Alexander Wang Wallet

Giuseppe Zanotti wedges

CC Skye bracelet

Gorjana Laurel hoops

Chanel pop pink lips

Preen blazer

I'm currently in love with my J Brand bright jeans (robin red and royal blue) and my J brand Houlihans in the khaki / olive shades but feel like I need to give these jeans a rest for a while and try a new style. I saw these Ksubi jeans on Shopbop this-evening and love them! I love the pale/bleached wash of these jeans as think they will work so well contrasting against bright toned tops.

I know we have not yet seen the start of the cold winter weather but I can't help thinking summer, beach, sand, sea and waves when I look at these jeans! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the winter months especially when I am all wrapped up walking through the fresh snow with my dog but at the same time I love the summertime when I can dig out my pretty floaty tank tops, my shades and gladiator sandals.

I've picked the bright pink Preen blazer as it acts as the perfect contrast piece against the subtle toned jeans. This blazer would look gorgeous with all your jeans, cut-off shorts in the summertime, and would look especially stunning over a little black dress.

I'm off for a festive trip to London in the next few weeks and I know Selfridges stock these jeans so will be sure to check them out and see if they are as nice on as they look online and if they are then they will be my first purchase for my SS12 capsule wardrobe!

Feel free as a bird in these beautiful bird print wide-leg trousers by Wildfox.

The fresh and neutral pepper white shade makes them the perfect companion for guiding you through all the seasons of the year. I could see myself wearing these trousers with a silky camisole top, suede wedges and a bright over-sized clutch bag on holiday in the summer!

Love these!

A Grey Sunday

On cold, wet and windy days like today I just want to cosy up by the fire and watch old black and white movies.

Going for Gold

Back in my teenager days I was more of a silver jewellery person than gold. Over the years my taste has changed and now i'd say I rarely wear silver. 

Nowadays I prefer vintage / costume jewellery or modern one-off pieces. 
Above, i've posted some pictures from new in collections from www.shopbop.com


I really like the Belle Noel hair chain although with having long thick hair, wonder if it would stay put?!
