THE embroidered velvet Zara dress

Im so glad summer is over. I have several reasons why and Im contemplating writing about it all but for now its too raw. Instead I said to myself to forget the summer, forget the fact I haven't been able to blog for a few months and instead look forward to the future..with the future being autumn my favourite season and the fact I'm pregnant. For me this means a new wardrobe, blacks, Burgundy, velvet... you name it I want it. yes I'm obsessive like that. So much so in August I purchased my first autumn dress.. AND its still available. It could only be from one place..ZARA!! I am absolutely loving smock dresses, embroidery is still going strong and throw on some tassels and you have a winning formula. Its navy in colour with the most gorgeous floral embroidery in oranges and pinks - it definately has that 70s vibe. The first time I wore it (so far only time) I paired it with my tanned cowboy boots.. this dress definitely works well with boots as it is on ...

Aviator fashion glasses by H&M

Do I wear glasses? No I don't. These are my latest fashion accessory. It is a strange one as roughly 5 years ago "Geek chic" was all the range and at the time I had fake thick rim glasses which I loved. Geek chic has recently been revamped with a 70s look. The glasses need to be aviator oversized frames and I found mine at H&M. They are gold frames with a small touch of tortoise shell on the arms of the frames and look very retro indeed. Although I probably look semi ridiculous I really like them!! The only thing I would say is that you shouldn't really wear them for too long. They make a great statement and really add to the look I created at the weekend. Why should you channel your inner 70s? 1. Hottest trend right now. 2. Excellent value for money to get the look for less. 3. Adds intelligence to your look. 4. Great for an evening out if your heading somewhere trendy. 5. Can also be worn daytime. Get yours here; Aviator...

PRIMARK retro 70s floral print shirt - Excellent value for money

New season, new clothes....but this time I'm talking workwear. I love being creative with my workwear, recently I have added ribbons and brooches to up style old shirts and whilst I am loving creativity and the looks I've  created, I fancied something a little more loud. Recently we have seen embroidery and gingham taking over the high street shops and I have been craving something different. PRIMARK... Is where I found this gorgeous chiffon shirt.. I picked it up and knew it would look fab with all black and touches of gold.. There I was ...sold, it's mine. Looking into the details it reminded me of the pyjama look that is hot right now, where the top has black piping around the Edges it definitely resembles the look. It has material attached to create a stylish bow, pussy bows are a massive hit, I'm bow obsessing atm. I chose size 8 - this material /look is meant to hang off you... so I was pleased the 8 looked great as I am usually size 8 -10 in tops....
