Lovely Lace

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

Christmas is upon us, and what better to wear throughout the festive period than a lace dress. Lace is always stylish and with so many options to choose from at the minute you can’t go wrong when finding a good style that suits you.

Lace is chic and sophisticated without being too over the top.

First off is exactly that. A classic take on a lace dress. This dress by Malene Birger £279, is simple yet chic, completely timeless and a great shape. On trend with the black leather trim details and glamorous. This is an all round perfect dress and can be worn teamed with heels or flats on Christmas day!

 

 

Next is this figure hugging lace dress by Reiss £110. This is a great dress if you do not want to wear all lace. The lace sleeves flatter the arms. Looks great worn with opaque tights!  This is also a great staple black dress for your wardrobe.

 

 

This lace dress from Topshop £48, is perfect if you want to try lace in another colour.  This dress is a very flattering shape that clinches the waist. This is so versatile and can be dressed up with heels and a clutch bag or dressed down with ankle boots and flat pumps. A brilliant day to night piece!

 

 

 

Last but not least I have to mention this stunning dress from Karen Millen £135, in the sale from £199. This dress is gorgeous with sleeves that flatter and a great classic shift dress shape. I love the lace embroidery. This dress is a fantastic addition to your wardrobe for seasons to come and will never date.

 

 

 

We would all love to hear your views on our pick of lace dresses this month and any other style tips your after, do not hesitate to post onto Facebook and Twitter!

 

 

 

Winter Warmers

Friday, November 11th, 2011

With the chilly weather setting in, a good winter hat is a must!

Hats are high up on the style stakes again. There are many on the high street to choose from to give your wardrobe a cosy winter look, and being stylish at the same time.

Long gone are the days when bobble hats were seen as geeky. They are now very on trend and the chunkier the better!

This one from Topshop £16 , is a great accessory to have throughout the winter months. Geek chis all the way!

Team with your favourite oversized jumper and skinny jeans for a cosy autumnal look.

 

We are still slightly obsessed with leopard print, this print can be seen everywhere on the high street at the moment.  As said before don’t be afraid to add print to your outfits, adding a subtle hint of leopard print can work better.

This hat is perfect for this from Topshop £16. The Beret has also become a classic over the years and is a staple hat for your wardrobe!

 

If you feel like trying a different look, this cute Primrose Hat from Monsoon £30, is great for the work into evening look.  Very 1920s, and very much like Angelina Jolie in the film Changeling. Elegant and sophisticated, this hat will look stunning. Adding a touch of Hollywood glamour to your wardrobe, but warm at the same time!

 

 

 

Last but not least this will definitely keep you warm all winter.

Fur is also another element you can add to your wardrobe to complete and build outfits. This hat will add texture to different styles and can be worn with just about everything.

This is a gorgeous faux fur hat from Jigsaw £39. Very chic and glamorous and in classic black you can’t go wrong.

 

These are the main styles of hats you will find in stores so pick your style or two and keep cosy and stylish all winter long !
