OOTD Asos Black Mesh insert Maxi dress

Hey Dolls, 

I don't often post formal OOTDs on here but here's a goody.  It's called Black mesh insert maxi dress. It is a stunning dress perfect for formal occasions and was an absolute bargain from Asos.

Sooo drumroll on the price.... Just £17!  Can you believe it!?  Reduced from £25.99 and available here.

It's hard when youv'e got a formal occasion but you need a new dress.  I have several lovely formal dresses - did you see the melon coloured Alberta Ferretti dress?  But if you are with the same crowd it is often hard to repeat the same dress.  So, I had a little search on ASOS through their floor lengths and ended up getting two very similar ones.

I love the elegance of this racer neck dress and it has a stunning back which is a bit of a T style.  The material isn't the most expensive, but hey, what do you expect for £17!  It also has a thigh length split and looks perfect with heels in any colour.  It has a thin mesh see-through panel under the bust which I just love.

But I also bought a second dress which I didn't wear....and I love it more but it's a tad too short and was also another bargain at £25. (ps I'm 5 foot 10 so a floor length dress is a little tricky).  This one was a Club L racer front dress - but it is just too short and unforgiving because of its mermaid bottom.  I didn't have the heart to turn it back though....perhaps I'll wear it one day with no heels?

Love my LBD from ASOS

What do you think?  I think it was a fabulous buy for such a good price and a great way to wear a new outfit perfect for the occasion without breaking the bank!

Dazzle this Christmas with Dower & Hall's Rose Gold Jewellery

This Christmas' must have jewellery has to be rose gold.  It's the perfect match with that LBD as it will glam it up for Christmas and keep it bang on trend.  I've already purchased my LBD, it's a lace loose fitting dress by Biba and with its 3/4 sleeves there's the perfect excuse for a chunky rose gold accessories.

As you guys know my favourite British jewelery brand is Dower & Hall.  I've been obsessing over their rose gold accessories so I thought I would share it with you guys as they make the perfect gifts this Christmas and woulds make any LBD Dazzle this Christmas.

Rose Gold Double Cuff, Twinkle ring with rose quartz and heart shaped studs by D&H

Because of the high neckline of the dress and 3.4 sleeves, the perfect statement piece would be an oversized Dower and Hall double Cuff (link).  This piece is definitely on my Christmas Wish List as it is so simple yet so glam at the same time.

To compliment the  double cuff, accessorize it with a matching rose gold ring.  I love the Dower and Hall Twinkle rinf (link) because of the detailing on the metal and the choice of coloured stones so you can accessorize your Christmas outfit perfectly.  As I'm crazy for nude colours this season rose quartz wowed me straight away, but there's a range of precious stones for you to pick and choose. For just £75.00 its an accessory that you can match with anything.

Last of all, these cute little rose gold heart shaped studs (link).  They finish off accessorizing the LBD perfectly and add that perfect finishing touch.  At £38.00 they would also make a great Christmas gift for any girl wanting a bit of festive dazzle!

So that's how I would add some dazzle to my LBD this Christmas! Hope you guys enjoyed and enjoy the Christmas season! x x x

Classic Brit Awards OOTD

Hello Honeys!

Hope you're well and are having a beautiful week!

I had the pleasure to receive VIP tickets for the Classic Brit Awards last night.  I'm not going to lie, I was a little apprehensive as it's not like I know a whole lot about classical music, but oh my gosh was last night incredible! (I think its going to be shown on ITV Saturday at 10.20pm if you fancy seeing it).

There was Lang Lang - the amazing Chinese pianist who opened the Chinese Olympic Ceremony, Nicola Benedetti - simply gorgeous, and the star of the evening - Hans Zimmer aka the guy who wrote the sound tracks to over 150 films including The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean,  The Dark Night Rises, Inception & Sherlock Holmes.  It was so incredible I really would recommend it to anyone!

Clothes

I wore my favorite lace LBD from H&M, black zara leather jacket and a Moschino brown leather bag.  I left my hair in natural waves and kep my makeup light and sparkly.

It was such a beautiful evening and the Classic Brit Awards are definitely something I'd like to see again.  Oh - and Myleene Klasse's dress was just WOW.

Have you guys ever been?  Or are you gonna watch it ??

LBD little black dress for Aqua Hutong

Morning my lovely ladies!!

Last night I went for a beautiful dinner at Aqua Hutong at the Shard on level 33.  It's a beautiful,  Northern Chinese restaurant that I had been dying to try out and I have to say the food was incredible and the service impeccable! (I would definitely recommend the mixed dim sum and the monkfish!)  I can't reccomend them enough - see their site here http://www.aquahutong.co.uk/

So I thought I'd pull out a LBD for the occasion.  This LBD is last seasons from H&M but they've got similar in this year (here).  It has lace sleeves, back and detailing on the front giving a really elegant feel to the dress.

 Makeup:

•  I matched it with some cheeky lilac essie nail polish.
• Face makeup: Benefit POREfessional, YSL teint touche eclat, MAC prep+prime, dark smokie gold/grey eyeshadow from clarins and lashings of benefit BADlash mascara.

So it wasn't too over the top, I matched it with some gold ballerina shoes covered in black lace from Pretty Ballerina.
I hope you guys like my LBD look!
