Wear your party dress during the day

We all have one of those dresses which we're probably only going to wear once, but this is to show you that you can pull off party-wear during the day! Obviously sequins may be a bit extreme to try wear in daylight hours; but metallics and shimmery fabrics are perfect! 

I totally love this liquid metallic dress from H&M, it's actually quite shapeless (which would look fab on a night out with bare legs - but isn't ideal for the day), so I used a thin belt and pulled it through a bit to give it a more defined waist. The colour is super easy to match with any colours/ prints so I chose something a bit out-there with my colourful leopard top.

The mustardy background and blue spots are really chic and different, defo gives something different compared to your average leopard prints. I would definitely recommend this top as a wardrobe essential!  

By choosing just one accessory it keeps the dress-factor to a minimum. Although I did go for a rather evening style bag.

This holographic clutch has to be my fave bag ever! Just like the dress, it matches any colours etc. I also love how in the light it reflects blues and pinks (which look great with the top). Usually I go for a satchel style bag due to the space, but I didn't realise how much you could fit into this style until I was bought it as a gift!

Shoe wise, I'd stick to something black or a pair which match your top. I had to get this pair the other day! Chunky heels during the day has to be one of my fave looks, and this black pair are amazing. You could easily pair them with a cute pair of socks during the cold weather!

November Wish List

Image definitely reflects your personality, and I think creating a wish list gives people an insight into the ideal you. I already have my christmas wishlist ready, but this is about showing you my ideal self!

    1. The first thing on my list is Ted Baker's botanical bloom bikini:

As some of you already know, I will be spending December/ January in South Africa and having this to wear on the beach would be a dream come true! The print is so delicate, plus the colour would look fab with a tan! I love Ted Baker's collections, especially the printed products. 

    

    2.

Recently I have been lusting over this Felice Fabric Tribal fit and flare bodycon, I spotted the dress online when researching brands and completely fell for this beauty! The design is perfection and the colours are super pretty. 

    3. Most people know I LOVE white shoes! Which is obviously why I chose these to go on my wish list!

Saint Laurent shoes are timeless, and this pair is gorgeous! The subtle crocodile texture could be easily matched with anything and the style is super diverse. 

    4. Jeans are a staple piece for everyone's wardrobe, and ripped pairs are totally in right now!

I would 100% pair these with the Saint Laurent shoes and a simple white top. All white = my fave. I really love how the ripped detail isn't large holes, just distressed; which means they can be worn casually or dressed up.

    5. PJ's are an essential, but finding the perfect nightwear can be a challenge!

Boux Avenue's Cynthia spot teddy is uber cute and definitely feminine - not your average pair of comfy pyjamas. Garments like this always make you feel confident, fabby for a movie night with a special someone. I'd definitely wear this with cosy knee high socks (cute and warm).

    6. Makeup brushes are definitely an important base to your makeup collection, and having a good set is worth the money.

Bobbi Brown's basic brush set has every brush you will need to complete any look. I love the design of these brushes and the simplicity of them. 

    7.  I adore a good matte lipstick, they can last all day and give an edgy finish to any look. I experiment with colours and I think this Illamasqua number is lush!

The shade is corrupt and is described as 'warm bright pink', the swatches look fab and the packaging is amazing!

 

    8. My 18th birthday is coming up in a few months, and I've already dropped a few hints to my parents about this little gem. Which girl wouldn't love to have something from Tiffany & Co.?

They have sooo many amazing designs, but I love this simple band with the brands name on it!

    9. Fur is fab for any occasion, casual or dressy. ASOS never disapoints when it comes to the latest trends, and these metalic shoes with fur detailing are gorgeous!

http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-HOW-WE-DO-Heeled-Sandals/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4331538&cid=19903&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=204&sort=-1&clr=White+mix&totalstyles=1040&gridsize=3





I love how the detailing is at the back rather than over the toe, it offers something different to other pairs available (not that I don't adore them too). But this design is super different and unexpected,they could easily be worn with some jeans or a dress.

    10. Okay the most extravagent item on my wish list HAS to be from my favourite fashion house; Dolce and Gabbana. Their collections are insane and definitely began my interest in fashion.

Owning a piece of their clothing would be completely surreal!  The lace detailing and cut of the dress is utter perfection. The colour is obviously a bonus for me, simple but stunning!
