Peony in Winter

I decided for one day only I'd stop dressing in dark clothes for winter and add a pop of colour to my outfit. This pink coat from Topshop SS14 is quite warm so I didn't get it out much earlier this year when the weather changed. Its nice a roomy so I put a thick grey roll neck underneath too. Bare legs probably wasn't the greatest idea as it is pretty freezing but I love this outfit all the same. I tried to go a bit 60s inspired with the mini skirt and roll neck combo. Not quite Bridget Bardot but I working on it...

The Pigeon Dress

When I first posted a picture of this dress on Instagram I was debating over lunch 'what should my caption be?'. Unexpectedly the vote was 'The Pigeon Dress'. Unbeknown to me this dress reminds my friends of a pigeon's speckles and feathers which now I can't help think about every time I put it on. Nonetheless I still love it's floatiness and frills, and its one of the only girly items I have in my wardrobe so I like to whip it out on special days. I've styled it with a leather cream and burgundy flippy clutch and some suede ankle boots. All Topshop.

Christmasy treats | Florentines

If you believe that women in fashion don't eat you are very wrong. We eat a lot. It is fair to say that nothing goes down better at work than when someone appears with some foodie treats (usually demolished within minuets). So for Christmas I thought I'd feed my fellow Personal Shoppers these chocolate florentines. They went down very well so I thought I'd post the recipe. Its a great idea for a gift for a group of people especially at Christmas and its super easy!

Thigh High

So this is my first post since my blog was re-designed! I've been dying to write up lots of posts recently but I wanted to wait until the new layout was absolutely perfect, so expect lots of content over the next few months. I'm starting with this winter look post consisting of a wooly knit over some thigh-high boots.
