Dreaming of Dresses

I can't resist a cute dress. Now that AW2015 is starting to creep it's way into stores I'm loving the trends I'm seeing, here are some faves!

Simply Be High Neck Floral Skater Dress £45

The seventies are back in a big way, and this dress is an adorable play on that trend. I love the print on this so much. I think this would be really versatile too, great for the office or a night in the pub.

ASOS Curve Fit and Flare Spot Mesh Dress £58

I love a good polkadot dress, and this one does something genuinely different and is so cute. The skirt section has gorgeous movement.

Grazia Floral Print Hanky Hem Dress £70

Oh my, the hem and cut of this dress are just lush! The orange tones are perfect for late summer into autumn.

Simply Be Skater Dress £25

This is like, Wednesday Addams meets rockabilly. Also available in a lovely burgundy colour and another print, this is a dress I could easily have several colours in.

City Chic Monochrome Stripe Dress £60

City Chic is a huge brand in US plus size fashion, and seeing their range grow at Evans makes me really excited. They produce such gorgeous dresses, this is my current fave. I love an unusual hemline and the stripe pattern is so fun.

Two Birthday Outfits

My Mum turned 50 during January, which meant 2 fancy parties, so I made sure to get some snaps of both outfits!

Outfit number 1, we went out for dinner at a fancy restaurant and my Mum wanted us to get glammed up. I was totally up for that.

Dress - New Look (no longer available)

Boots - Doc Martens with Schwings

Leggings - New Look

I love this dress. The silver detail makes you look like you have a tiny waist! If you look at the photo properly, what appears to be my waist isn't, because my hand is actually on my waist. The fringing also creates amazing movement and I can never resist twisting about to make the fringing swing everywhere.

Case and point!

Outfit two, a gathering at my Mum's house for drinks and a buffet on her actual birthday. Cue needing a different dress and look.

Dress - Lovedrobe at New Look (no longer available)

Velvet Leggings - New Look (no longer available)

Kimono - New Look (no longer available)

Necklace - Sugar & Vice (no longer available)

Purple patent creepers - TUK (no longer available)

This dress is one of my favourite go-to outfits. I always feel cute in it. It has faux leather sections framing the bust and waist that fit the skater style really well. I wanted a cover up because right now I'm having a bad eczema break out on my arms and it makes me pretty self conscious. A cute dress never feels quite me in winter without stompy boots or something similar, and I'd forgotten I owned these patent creepers till they appeared on my timehop app recently.

Look how cute they are! And non-leather too.

Eye make up - Sugarpill and Geek Chic Cosmetics

Lipstick - Barry M

And a close up of my face. Makeup is not my strong point, but that necklace deserves a better look! While it is no longer available, Sugar & Vice have a lot of beautiful crystal and gemstone inspired jewellery that is available.

I need to try and blog more outfits that actually have clothes in them that are still for sale... sorry about that!

Much love,

Dreaming of Dresses

I love a good dress. The holiday season coming means lots of adorable new dresses on sale and I want them all!

Simply Be Hanky Hem Dress £55

I love this style of hem, I think it adds something different and this is the sort of dress that can easily be dressed up or down. Chunky boots and leggings to dress it down, cute heels and sparkle to dress it up! I think this dress looks like it has really great movement, something I love in a dress.

Paper Dolls Plus Oriental Print Dress with Contrast £65

First off, I hate the name of this dress. That companies are still describing something as oriental print is shameful. It is flower print! I love the off the shoulder style with the black section for the bust area, and I like the hints of greens, pinks and yellows, you could easily pick one of those out for shoes, bags and jewellery.

Off the Shoulder Prom Dress £80

For me, this dress is way more expensive than anything I would buy. But, the colours are lovely, very autumnal, I love the off the shoulder sweetheart style. It's so 80's prom and I love it! You could totally Madonna this up with black lace gloves and pearls.

ASOS Curve Exclusive Skater Dress in Velvet £28

I love a good velvet dress, and this is all kinds of Stevie Nicks goodness. It has the 3/4 sleeves, so if you aren't totally comfortable with your upper arms this would be lovely. I think the price of this is excellent for a velvet dress. It might have to be one I order to try on as a possible Christmas present.

Kelly Brook Cut Out Detail Dress £55

This isn't the style of dress that I personally wear, I don't suit the body con style. However, I know sooo many plus size babes who rock this style that I had to share. I like the short sleeves and the cut out in the chest, something a bit different! You could accessorise this in so many different ways, I like that Kelly Brook didn't sway away from a slinky fit with her plus size range.

Anna Scholz Print Dress £45

I LOVE this dress. So often as autumn and winter hit colours get boring, but this has an amazing tropical print, and the cute cut out shoulders, love! I can just see it with big platform sandals and being the stand out cutie at a party in a sea of blacks, navy and burgundy. It's gorgeous and so fun!

Little Mistress Watercolour Floral Print Maxi Dress £75

The watercolour print and colours of this dress are just stunning. Gorgeous autumnal dress. The lacy shoulders are a lovely addition, I think this is perfect for an autumn/winter wedding. ASOS Curve have this print in another style as well, so if the print is your thing but you don't dig a maxi dress, check out the shift dress version.

ASOS Curve Exclusive Cami Dress with Sequin Skirt £35

Who doesn't love to glam up with some sequins? The colours in the skirt section of this dress are amazing. I'd pick one, match my accessories to it and feel like a rockstar. It's like a glam rock mermaid managed to go all Ariel and sneak onto dry land and they rocked this dress to meet the Prince.

ASOS Curve Spot Midi Skater Dress with Lace Trim £40

I actually love how ASOS have styled this, with relaxed hair, and hi top converses, it's pretty much how I'd wear it myself. I love the longer length and the sleeves, perfect fora winter evening out. Throw a denim jacket over it and it's sorted!

What are your favourite dresses that you've spotted so far this A/W? These are all the more 'dressed up' dresses I like at the moment, but there are so many gorgeous casual ones about too.

Much love,
