Baby It's *Still* Cold Outside

Whilst its still pretty chilly outside at the moment a cover up or kimono is a trendy alternative to throw-over an outfit without disguising it altogether. This one I'm wearing is from River Island a few years ago but since Burberry brought out personalised kimonos for AW14, the design has been filtered down and copied a lot this season so that folk like me can bag one from the highstreet. Although the kimono has a dominant tribal pattern I've still teamed it with a striped shirt as I love a clashing print. My cuffs are from & Other Stories which can be shown off in all their glory with a shirt like this. 

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.
