Christmas Dresses

'Tis the season to be jolly! Fa la la la laa, la laa, laa laa!

It's also the festive party season, so you know what that means? Donning your favourite heels and dancing the night away with a scrumptious mulled wine in hand. This in mind, the party season can be rather expensive, what with all the events to attend and new frocks to purchase for said events.

I've decided to construct a blog post featuring some bargain dresses, which will create the perfect look for your festive fun. All of the dresses featured are under £50. That's right, simply stunning without breaking the bank.

The three main events in which us girlies feel we must purchase something new & pretty for are the following; The Work Christmas Party, Christmas Day with the Family, and New Years Eve.


The Christmas Work Party


The Christmas Work Party dress should be something pretty and festive, yet not showing too much skin. You don't want your boss/colleagues to think you're unprofessional, but you also want to look glam, right? Something high necked which doesn't show too much skin is perfect for the event.



Christmas Day with the Family

The day filled with family fun, opening gifts and stuffing your face with turkey most definitely needs a dress that you feel cosy in. Something that covers your little Christmas filled tummy and isn't too restricting when you want to curl up and have a nap on the settee after your Xmas lunch. These dresses do all of those things, yet still look pretty at the same time! Win/Win situation.



New Years Eve Dress

The New Years dress should be everything a dress should be; full of sparkle and amazement. Anything eye catching and attention grabbing, that you can dance your way into the New Year in.



I hope that my little post has been of help to you. Tell me, what are you wearing for the party season?

Chain Reaction

I feel a little 'Biker-chic' in this outfit. I'm not entirely sure if I'm overly keen on it. But, hey ho! It was just something I threw on quickly with very little planning. I was all ready to meet my friend for a good old pub tea. Show me the Bacon Carbonara! Mmmmm.. Not to forget the Belgium Waffle drizzled in chocolate sauce for pudding.

I do apologise for the potentially rushed outfit post today. I'm just in the middle of emailing/organising more of the upcoming Sheffield Bloggers Event. If anybody would like to attend, all the info is posted in my blog. Or you can email me directly - just check my contact page for my email address.

Only 10days to go!

Jump into a Jumpsuit

Hurray! I'm finally using my camera tripod for my outfit photos.

My lovely best friend knows how difficult it can be for me to catch my whole outfit in the shot, without getting too much background mess in the picture. Being the darling that she is, she bought me a tripod! How thoughtful? I was actually overcome with disappointment looking at each of my outfit posts, and all the bedroom clutter lurking in the background - but now, I can cut that all out by having a plain wall behind me so that your main focus is my actual outfit and not 'what I've left on my bedroom dressing table' ha ha!

And there we have it, my first uncluttered outfit post!


As much as I adore this jumpsuit, it can cause a few wardrobe malfunctions here and there - especially when visiting the ladies room hits the agenda. I tend to wear this jumpsuit for daily activities, as it can proove a little difficult to wriggle out of on nights out when Captain Vodka is in charge of the ship. I must admit, it does get a little bit fiddly, but that aside, I really love it. The pussy bow front tie and delicate vintage-look buttons really complete the jumpsuit making it delicate and girly with a unique edge to it.

Moving onto another note, quite a few of you have been commenting lately and sending me emails asking what colour I dye my hair. I use Loreal Feria Plum Power. When I first dye my hair it is a purple-ish plum colour, but when it begins to wash up, it becomes a lovely warm mahogany colour. So, just in case you're wondering, I'm not using two different hair dyes, it's just the colour it fades up as.
