BOOHOO Curve LBD | OOTN

I love a good girls night, but like a lot of ladies hate trying to find that perfect outfit. I'm typically between a size 14/16 and petite, which usually makes finding dresses or jumpsuits a long slog through the high street. 

Dress £22| Shoes £22.99 | Necklace £22

This time round I decided to give BOOHOOs curve range a whirl. The curve and plus size section of the website has some fabulous dresses to choose from, taking my problem from not enough to too much choice! But eventually I went for the Plus Off The Shoulder Wrap Midi Dress loving the look of the tie waist and dropped shoulders. 

I'm pleased to say that the dress fit me like a glove and I felt absolutely fab all night! This is the first time I've worn a body con style dress in over 2 years and although at first I was worried the dress would be unflattering, it was surprisingly well made thick crepe material and didn't show off any lumps and bumps.  

I also had my hair curly blow dryed by the lovely Hair by Chantelle at Chloe Danielle Studios in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. This was an absolute god send, because I'm awful at styling my own hair and she made my hair bigger and bouncier than I ever could have! She specializes in gorgeous hairups and curly blow drys.

Winter wollies & Tartan | WIWT

| Jumper - H&M | Jeans - Mango | Hat - Boohoo | Boots -Linzi Shoes | Bag H&M | Scarf - Primark |

 

We're so close to Christmas! & today I'm feeling a little more festive, wrapped up to my eyeballs in my favourite cable knit jumper, thick weave jeans & tartan scarf.

 

Can you believe this scarf is from Primark?! It's so thick and wooley! I originally went in on the hunt for a red tartan scarf but soon fell in love with this neutral check print instead. & to be fair, this one definitely matches my wardrobe a little better.

 

I'm still in love with my Boohoo Jillian wide brim hat, bought originally for Marbs earlier this year as a summer accessory. But it goes so well with my Linzi Chelsea boots I won in the Etail PR facebook competition this summer, and my winter wardrobe in general too. 

 

I think this outfit pretty much sums my autumn/winter style up perfectly. I like to layer, be comfortable but always accessorize. Something my always glamorous Mama taught me well!

 

Do you have a favourite winter jumper?

Mango tartan dress | WIWT

 

 
 

 | Mango dress | Linzi Boots | Boohoo Hat |

I bought a really cute royal blue ruffled chiffon dress from Mango for Marbs a few weeks ago, but after some brutal honesty from Creature I decided to take it back & swap for this cute aw13 number!

I'm loving tartan at the moment, you may have seen my wish list last week which also featured another little tartan dress, but I love this particular one because it's very understated. The muted colours are really cute & match my Boohoo Jillian Wide Brim Hat perfectly.

 

Other than the hat, I didn't really feel it needed any accessories, I wanted to let the print do all the talking. but the matching boots & hat give the outfit a little on trend umphh!

 

What do you think of the Ambar check flowy dress?

Lusting after.. Boohoo | Wishlist

 

 

Dress | Coat | Boots | Necklace | Bag | Mittens | Blusher

 

Whilst browsing Facebook earlier this week, Boohoo posted an album of their aw13 tartan collection which instantly pulled me into a massive online wish list shop ready for payday!

I'm a huge lover of tartan & always have. Half my family are Scottish & with my reddish hair, it's a pattern I've always felt comfortable & stylish in. Out of all the tartan items on Boohoo (& there is a goldmine of it!) I was particularly drawn to the gorgeous midi skater dress above. Although midi dresses and skirts tend to make me look shorter, I can't stop looking at this dress & not feel an overwhelming urge to buy.

 

Amongst the dress I've almost fell in love with this particular pair of cut out buckle boots & the faux leather sleeve coat. Admittantly this coat is almost identical to my current grey tweed & leather one from H&M (see here) but I am in need of a new all black coat.
The accessories were all just little bits I kept hovering over. I am an accessory hoarder & creature often despairs at my ever growing jewellery collection. But there is something about big jewels, fur & leather that draws me in like a big fat magpie!

 

What do you think of my choices?

Wishlist | Died & gone to shoe heaven!

 

Topshop - Wing High Sandals by UNIQUE

£110

I have fell head over heels (har har) with these fabulous sandals! As many of you will already know, I am obsessed with anything animal or bird related and these winged beauties are no exception.

My gosh I'd wear them to Aldi on a trip for eggs & milk if I had the pennies to buy them!

 

Topshop - Sporty Platform shoes

£90

I'm partial to a big platform, however I tend to avoid pink due to my blonde hair, and I would usually try to avoid the 'Barbie' image. However, I could bend the rules for these, the studded sides and thick straps have caught my eye, they scream style and comfort.

 

River Island - Blue Stripe Bow Sandals

£60

I absolutely LOVE these! In yesterdays post 'Love for big jumpers' I expressed my love for all things navy and striped. The nautical theme is still really big and these stunners would look perfect with a pair of leather trousers and flirty blue or cream top.

 

River Island - Black Feather Peep Toe Shoes

£100

Wow, what a show stopping piece! These are the kind of heels that need to be the star of the show. The fringe detail is just simply stunning and perfect for anyone who is looking for that rock chic look. Or for anyone who just wants to make a statement.

 

New Look (Online exclusive) - Chinese Laundry Aztec Platform Shoes

£94.99

Oh my LORD! I would give my right arm to own these babies! These are only available online and cost a pretty penny, but aren't they just totally worth it? Burgundy is a massive trend right now so these would go perfectly with that deep red beauty you've been saving in your wardrobe.

 

Miss Selfridge - Blinky Purple Heeled Boots

£50

Purple? They look cobalt blue to me?
Never mind the technicality's, how fabulous are these boots? These are your stand along shoes, let them take the spotlight and rock with black or beige

 

Office - Kaleidoscope Platform

£80

Seriously in shoe heaven. To look at my own shoe collection these are the shades you are likely to find (If you actually have the time to sift through 200+ pairs) Loving the huge platform and wooden heel. Classy, fabulous, and a staple shoe you NEED in your collection.

 

Boohoo.com - Orla Suedette Platform With Glitter Heel

£30

Again I tend to stay away from these style heels (due to breaking my ankle years ago and being unstable in anything that doesn't support them) But purple is a colour I'd love to be able to rock and my magpie like personality is on overdrive with the glitter heels.

 

House Of Fraser - KG Vixen Boots

£79

Vixen is right! You'd look absolutely ready to take over the world in these shoe boots. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!  They remind me a little of Kandee style boots too but half the price, which is always a winner!

So this is my dream collection for my shoe rack.

No doubt my magpie eyes will be on something different next month, but until then, I can carry on dreaming I guess!
