OOTD: The Suede Look

OOTD: The Suede Look

Suede Dress Image

Hey peoples. It is a new week and I have a new outfit for you. I am so proud of myself, so far this year, I have had at least 2 outfit posts each week. I have been super organised, planning outfits well in advance, and finding the time to actually photograph them, against all odds. I hope this organisation carries on for the rest of the year. It will be amazing.

There is something about the suede material. I find it so very chic, so it should come as no surprise that I have quite a few suede pieces and accessories. Suede pieces play a major role in my winter wardrobe, I find them stylish, easy to wear, and dead warm. Perfect for the chilly weather.

I love this Red Herring tan sleeveless suede dress. It is the PERFECT dress. It can take you from day to-night easily, and the relaxed fit is so my style. I got this beauty in the sales, it was a whooping 70% off, best bargain ever.

My only issue with this piece is I am not too sure how to get it cleaned. the label say no washing, no tumble drying, dry clean only, but on the website it says machine washable. I know the label instructions should override any other instructions, but I am kind of hoping I can wash it in the washing machine. Not tried to yet as I am scared I will ruin it, but I tend to avoid dry clean only pieces as much as I can because of the whole stress of going to the dry cleaners, every time I need to get a piece cleaned.

OOTD: The Fancy Dress Challenge

Fancy Dress

I am always up for a challenge, as long as it is good fun. So when the good people of Tickled Pink Fancy Dress challenged me to pick an adult fancy dress and style it up, I was super excited. I decided to step back into the 1920s era, and I went for this gorgeous Fringed Flapper Dress. I was drawn to the stunning beaded fringing around the skirt, and the lace front. This dress reminds me of everything glamorous and chic, like 1920s and Coco Chanel. It also reminds me of a wedding scene in ‘Coming to America’, the wedding dancers had on a similar dress I think. I just need to yank off my shoes, and get in the dancing mood, lol…Have you seen the movie?

Anyways, back to the dress; I love the old school look. I found this dress super easy to dress up. I added a feathered headpiece also by Tickled Pink Fancy Dress to get more of the old school vibe. I knew I needed a WOW necklace to step up the look, so I reached for my new Maleficent. Labradorite Ornate Choker Necklace by Regal Rose. This Natural gemstone beauty is currently sold out, and no surprises there, it is loved by many. This great necklace is perfect for the party season, as it adds the WOW Factor to any look. It was just want a needed to take my fancy dress to the next level.

OOTD: The Christmas Long Sleeve Top

Christmas Outfit

We had some lovely weather in Cheshire over the weekend, before it became painfully cold, so I made good use of the sunshine and got some outfit pictures taken. I received this Christmassy red long sleeve ski top by Jolly Clothing, a Christmas retro-styled independent fashion label based in Wales. This ‘made in the UK’ label was launched in 2012, every piece is designed and printed in the UK, and it sells around the world. Have a look at their site for Christmas gifts for all ages, you are sure to find something you like, and they are also quite affordable. This top I have on is £18 only and the quality is great, even after popping it in the wash.

I love everything about this top. It is perfect for the season, a great Christmas top to style, and my very first Christmas top (this week seems to be all about my firsts), I love it. I will be wearing a lot of this piece in the next couple of weeks, my kids love it, all I need is a Christmas hat and I am good to go on Christmas Day, lol…

Lylia Rose Scarf

I styled my beautiful jumper with this eye-catching Black Music Note Foil Print Scarf by Lylia Rose. This beauty is just the way I like my scarves; soft, oversize and light weight. This scarf also feels good to touch, it is so beautiful, I got a couple of nice comments on the day I wore it. It feels slightly thicker than a regular scarf, so it will come in handy this chilly season. I am in love, are you?

Red Christmas Jumper

If you are then you are in luck because, the lovely people at Lylia Rose are offering my readers a 20% off all orders, no expiry, with the code FASHIONPOLICE, so you can get some Christmas presents sorted, and even grab some items for yourself. Lylia Rose is an independent store, it stocks jewellery, fashion accessories like scarves, snoods, purses, makeup bags, pins and brooches so there is something for every woman. I am yet to finish my Christmas shopping, so I will also be using this discount to get a few accessories for my family and friends.

Christmas Jumper Look

Here is me hoping I get some good weather over the weekend, so I can get some outfit and product pictures sorted. Being a blogger is so hard during the autumn and winter months, because it gets dark at  3pm, so I have to fit in EVERYTHING before then. I have so much to show you guys, I wish I had the summer daylight right now. There is just a lot to do, but I will get them all done one at a time.

I plan to continue posting daily for the rest of the year so I can get all the Christmas related posts out as soon as possible. Wish me luck, enjoy the rest of your week.
