Channel the ethereal with this Louche Poppy Spot Lace Back Dress from joythestore.com. The sort of dress a modern yet mysterious sleeping beauty might wear, keep in theme by wearing with the Disney Couture Alice Bottle Necklace (Amazon.co.uk) for added fairytale-ness.

 The Louche Gingerbread Man Necklace..Definitely a joyful addition to any outfit and could not be missed! 

Seasonal Sequins!

Baroque Bodycon Sequin Dress - Topshop
Mango Sequin Dress - Asos.com
Motel Gabby Sequin Dress in Gold
Warehouse Animal Sequin Cut Out Shoulder Dress


My favourite sequin dresses so far, particularly the Motel dress in Gold. Christmas is definitely my favourite time of year for dressing up; the ability to wear an abundance of shiny gold things without looking too much like some sort of gladiator. The black sequin dress is a great way to be a little more low key.

Things to keep you warm in the winter.

Particularly like the horse print scarf, I am enjoying all clothes animal related at the moment & luckily there's loads to love..! Owls, specifically are looking super lovely. To such an extent that I did actually buy an owl vest 2 sizes too small as it was the only one left in the shop. I refuse to believe that it can't be worked into an outfit somehow, I'm thinking high waisted skirt scenario. Anyway sequins and shearling I think make for an interesting daytime mix especially alongside the trusty skinny jeans. 

I Wish....

Bold, totally extravagant and fairly impractical..to name a few reasons why my love for the lips will probably never come to any fruition. I need to start writing a list of 'one day' purchases just in case that elusive day should ever arise, when I'm sitting on a pot of gold & wondering what to do with myself.  Lulu Guinness' Red Swarovski Crystallized Lips Clutch is definitely a fave.

Until then the birdcage umbrella has the potential to satisfy cravings during the winter. & it's perfectly practical! A shame that the pink one they had on Brandalley has now sold out, I will make sure I pay more attention to the Rainy Days Boutique sales in future. Lesson Learned.

If this doesn't make you want to drop everything and become a full time baker/cupcake goddess I don't know what will.

Granted, I may be overly susceptible to anything in pink with a pun but I would stand by the fact that these items would be a lovely addition to any kitchen.

Hansel & Gretel

Something to make you wish you lived in a teeny tiny cottage made out of gingerbread & sweets..
The Bombay Duck sale on Brandalley. 

Knitted cupcake decorations! This stuff is so adorably tempting if it clashes with everything else, redecorate the room. & it's at a discount, you can't go wrong. If I had my way in a little house of my own I think I would consult the Bombay Duck website before making any homeware purchasing decisions. 

Perhaps some would say this has gone too far & that you can have too much kitsch..but I personally would be delighted if the outside of my house looked like this:

Christmas List 2011!

Converse X High Trainers in Sand. An Ugg alternative for skinny jeans (in your chosen colour) but with practical comfort. Fed up of big flat feet falling out of ballet pumps, I think. Also more puddle resistant.

 I hate fluffy towels/dressing gowns that just smear moisture around rather than actually drying you! I'm hoping this is not the case with the PiP Studio Birds of Paradise Robe, White. Cute design too. 

Hollister San Pedro Bay Hoodie, Super Cute furry hood and super fluffy warmth on the inside. As every Winter becomes increasingly more Arctic-like in temperature, this hoodie becomes more & more essential to our livelihoods. Also, global warming, what?

Christmas this year could not be complete without a leopard onesie with a hood with ears & face! Snuggle central. Topshop Leopard Print All in One.

Cute pun on a cute make-up bag, & looks Christmassy too. Red Linen Sponge Bags and Toiletries by Retreat Home.

Miss Oroblu Snow Tights. Something to make the Winter seem a little more cheery :) 

Cute.

Faux Fur Fave

LOVE this new coat from ASOS even prefer it to the leopard print one with ears. Would look perfect with Uggs on a snowy day!
