Snow Holiday!

Tomorrow i am going to Finland for a few days for a girly weekend with my Mum, Sister in law, Sue and Joey - its for my mums 70th! 

Jo-anns husband is Finnish and they have a house on the lake so we are going to relax, eat and be merry oh and shop haha! 

Well i've never been to Finland but apparently its freezing!!!!!!! Like we are talking minus figures!!! 

So here are some tips on keeping warm but still looking cool hahaha

Normally i wear tights under my jeans if i'm cold as they keep my legs warm but not so much that i look like the michelin man! It is all about layering!!!! 

Tesco has some great thermals in stock at the moment and so cheap!!! www.clothingattesco.com/thermal - twin pack of thermal long sleeve tops for £7!! You can not go wrong!! They also have some fab mens bits too! Great stocking fillers! 


Ok so you still want to look like you!!! So thats why a thermal top under your normal dress or jumper will really work! I know this all sounds really obvious but i sometimes dress a bit "old lady" when i'm cold because i hate it so much! like i don't wear my dresses that i normally wear as i think i'll be too cold! But i with a top underneath and some thermal tights! Yes you read correctly the wonderful Marks and Spencers now do Thermal Tights!!!!!!




So then with a nice parka on top from my Parky post with any boots you own and how about buying the Hunter welly socks and pop them in!!! 


www.hunter-boot.com from £18 for plain black 

and then all you need is hat scarve and gloves! 


www.kurtgeiger.com £30 - my friend Dilly bought this on a recent shopping trip and it looks lovely on!!! Really warm too!!! They do a matching scarve but if you don't have the longest arms in the world then it won't work haha! 


www.reiss.com £69 - love a bit of leopard and these gloves look fab!!! 


www.frenchconnection.com £50 - a blue sequin snood! I'm all about a snood - pop it over head and thats where it stays haha! No falling off or getting it caught etc! Its child friendly!!! 

I wish you all a fabulous weekend

Wedding Guest Fashion

Its another Wedding themed blog here - but Wedding fashion can be such a worry!!!!

To hat or not to hat that is the question!!!

I love a hat!! But i feel they are a little bit dated - there were fascinators a plenty but i decided on just fancy hair!! I went for a french plait side bun like this


If you did want a fascinator or hat Accessorize do some lovely ones!! 

There is something magical about dress shopping in general!! I love it!! However like every shopping expedition if you actually need something you can never find it!!! So my top tip is start shopping early!


I bought this from Whistles its was £155 but my thinking was I would wear this dress lots! On holiday in the winter with black tights etc! (to be fair as per yesterdays polaroids you can see i didn't wear it but this was due to unforeseen circumstances haha)
Whistles really do do some lovely dresses! www.whistles.co.uk

This one is in the sale for £70 and i think its wedding guest perfection! They also do it in cobalt blue and grey! 


I ended up wearing a black sequin Reiss dress! I know there is a big unwritten rule about not wearing black or obv white to a wedding! However i did ask the bride beforehand and she said it was her favourite colour and of course i could wear it! So hooray!! 

This is the dress i wore - its in the sale now (booooo but fab if you like it) 



French Connection also always have some fab dresses however i'm always worried with shops like FC, Coast, Ted Baker, Karen Millen etc that someone else will have the same dress on!!! 

ASOS has sooooo many dresses that the chances of someone having the same is always low!! I love this dress from there 



So all thats left to find is some shoes!!!! 

I LOVE a zara shoe!!! And i love this one that i think goes perfectly with all the above dresses! 



I love weddings and i love this quote to write in wedding cards!!! William Shakespeare knew exactly what he was talking about!! 


Happy Friday

Love

Blazer: a wardrobe staple

A blazer is something that every wardrobe should own, male or female. Its the one staple piece that can be thrown on over practically anything and change the whole look instantly! Even the most basic looking jeans and t shirt can be transformed into a structured and stylish outfit just by adding a blazer!





The good thing about a blazer is it will last though all seasons! The same jacket can be worn over a summer dress and then over jeans boots and a jumper come winter. If you want a blazer that will be really versatile i would suggest buying one in a plain colour, but if you want something a bit more fun there are some gorgeous prints around at the moment.

Heres some of my fave blazers currently on the high street at the moment!

Hope you like

Love
L xx
