Style | The Perfect Party Dress

Hi,

"Its the most wonderful time of the year, there'll be parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting and carolling out in the snow"

Christmas already, I know it's a cliché to say this but, it most certainly has come around quickly this year. One minute I was rocking around in summer dresses and now here I am planning my party, Christmas day and New Years eve outfits!

Now, back to the main focus of this post, this beautiful dress from Lovedrobe!




I wore this dress for my first Christmas lunch, it was an afternoon affair but, as it's the festive season I decided to get a little bit dressed up!




This dress is from the Lovedrobe Luxe collection*, they have so many beautiful dresses it was really hard to pick one.  

The dress is a gorgeous charcoal grey colour with some intricate detailing around the neckline. The outer layer is quite a thin material, which feels similar to crepe, it hangs nicely once on thanks to a thick layer of lining underneath, this also prevents any clinging to legs or tights so it's super comfortable to wear. It is a little shorter than I would normally go for but I added a thick pair of tights underneath. I also added some heels, which were so uncomfortable, when I wear it again it will definitely be with a pair of cute sparkly flats!


Dress - Lovedrobe*
Bag - Kate Spade
Watch - DKNY
Shoes - Primark

300th Post

Hi!   So as you might be able to tell from the title, this is my 300th blog post! eeek!   I started this blog back in December 2012 after reading Girl With Curves and Forever Fabulous in Bows. I was absolutely blown away by these gorgeous woman writing and posting photos about their love of fashion and beauty. The next morning in the shower I came up with a name and opened up a brand new notebook to jot down all my ideas.   It was very difficult at first, I wasn't sure whether to blog about fashion, beauty, life or gardening. I thought that I had to post every day and I didn't even know how to use my camera properly. I finally decided to post about things that I enjoy, those being clothes, shopping, more clothes, beauty and myself and Mr C going on our travels somewhere! 18 months later and I can honestly say this is best hobby I have started and actually kept up with!   I want to say thank you to everyone that reads my blog and leaves lovely comments, it reall

Pretty in red

Hi! We paid a visit to the lovely town of Cirencester a few weeks ago. Whilst we were there we had a quick wonder around and also managed to pop into a shop or two! I haven't had much luck with charity shop finds this year, every time I see something nice it's never in my size..bah! Anyway I saw a British Heart Foundation and thought I would have a quick look in. The first thing I saw was this gorgeous top, it was originally from M&S and still had the tags on. I didn't try it on as I thought it looked big enough and at £3.99 I had to snap it up! I paired it with this pretty skirt I bought from the New Look sale a few weeks ago. This was going to be my Plus North day outfit but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to wear it. I forgot I had a white bra on! Do you ever shop in charity shops? Much Love N x

Hello! Happy New Year! The first day of 2014 starts off with a OMCZ challenge post. This week was the turn of Betty from BigFatBetty , this is what she choose as her theme: Challenge: ' Pretty Pencils'   Pretty Pencils': I absolutely love pencil skirts but I've never had the confidence to wear them, what with the VBO and all that jazz. However, I've just ordered a beauty and I could really do with that push in order to wear it...let me see all you lovely ladies rocking your pencil skirts, get those pins out and share your style tips (as I also have no idea what to wear with the damn thing)! Betty x     I don't actually own a proper pencil skirt so at first I was a bit unsure of what to wear. I then remembered my trusty old black jersey pencil skirt. I bought this about 6 maybe even more, years ago from the plus size range, Grace at Sainsbury's.     Top - Pinkclove Skirt - Sainsburys   The skirt sat in my wardrobe for at lea
