Bonjour new specs! I'm feeling a bit French (?) in this ensemble. Not too sure why, but I think it's in part down to the glasses. They give off a European vibe of some kind. Anyone wanna join me for croissants and croque-monsieur?

I'm craving more houndstooth garbs after wearing this OASAP top for the first time today. Actually, after a little hunt, I'm lusting after these houndstooth trews in particular. They're exactly the same as the trousers in my last post, just houndstoothy and even more fab. Anyhow, the top is a little on the large side, but looks perfect tucked into high-waisted bottoms (couldn't think of a better way to put that haha - oh immaturity).

I've been snooping the shops for the perfect faux-leather skirt for quite some time now. So when this absolute delight popped up on New Look's site for just £14.99 I was right in there. I did think it might be a terror for VPL, but as it's an a-line shape it's pretty forgiving! I'll definitely be pairing it with tights in future though - brrr!

Inlovewithfashion Playsuit  |  River Island Embellished Dress  |   Missguided Collar Dress

Motel Rocks Dress  |  Missguided Peace + Love Collection Dress

With Christmas Parties fast approaching, I thought I'd collate a little post with some of my current favourite LBDs (with one playsuit for good measure!). I'm a massive fan of a little black number myself! At Christmas they look fab paired with statement heels and maybe a sequin clutch (I've suddenly got a penchant for sequins by the way.. not sure why as I usually hate anything 'glitzy', but let's just embrace it.)

It's definitely worth noting that the River Island dress is now just £40 (WOWZA. Yes please) so grab it quick as there are only a couple of sizes left!

Also, Missguided are offering 20% off today with free next day delivery until 8pm - check the banner on their site for the code ;)! I'm so tempted - eek!

Have a fab Thursday guys! I start a new job on Monday, so apologies if things are a little quiet over here, but expect to see an outfit post soon! Oh, and you can see the outfit I wore to the ASOS Christmas Party here.

Black, Pink and Cut Outs

Light Pink Coat | Persunmall *

Fluffy Jumper | Primark (similar here)

Black High Waisted Trousers | River Island

Cut Out Boots | Shoe Zone *

Ahh, yes, more cut out boots. I've been on the lookout for some 'smarter' looking ones, if that makes any sense. These Shoe Zone cut-out numbers were just what I've been looking for. They're only £24.99, but have fab detailing like the gunmetal inset at the front and a super handy zip at the back. No more un-doing fiddly buckles for me - wahey! I also wore these straight away without socks as they have no nasty blister-inducing bits inside them! Good one Shoe Zone!

Here's that Persunmall coat lots of you were lusting after from this post. I've heard that the Primark coat (that looks very similar to this one) has a tendancy to malt a little - so does this one! Nevertheless, it lightens up my frequently dark outfits! It's also quite lightweight so perfect for layering over cosy knits.

As for these new River Island trews, as soon as I tried them on I had to keep them. They fit like a glove (... for legs..?!) and even come with a belt. What a  treat. I don't generally dress this smart to be honest - I'm a notoriously casual dresser! But who knows, maybe you'll be seeing me don a top hat and tux soon. Keep your peepers peeled.
