Oh Golly Galibardy.

Jewellery £16-£45

I love this jewellery for the same reasons I love Pamela Love's jewellery (see post; Silverware And Swimwear). It is not feminine or fancy or fussy. Ok I think I love Love's a little more but for these prices... Although I must say, some of it would look just as good, if not better, as art (i.e. the top right corner antler ring).

Rings £12-£25

Need Not Want.

After recently discussing my like of false lashes, but my distain for the WAG look, I've only gone and found these wacky bad boys. Paperself have created these masterpieces out of paper. My favourite? The shorter deer & butterfly and peacock. Not to boast but my lashes are naturally not to shabby so in order to do something a little different with them, the likes of these are needed. A bargain at £12 for the longer ones and £10 for the shorter.

The eyelashes come in the following designs; Peach Blossoms, Peonies, Horses, Clowns, Deer & Butterfly and Peacock. Each are symbolic of the Chinese culture;
Horses: symbolic of success
Peony: for happiness and good fortune
Peach blossom: a symbol of love and romance
Peacock: auspicious and lucky days
Butterfly: free, buautiful and sensitive
Clown: bring the whole happiness

Oval Growing Ring, £130

 Growing Necklace, £130

Growing Ring, £130

How amazing are these? Little moss gardens in jewellery by Hafsteinn Juliusson. This bottom ring is my favourite, like a miniture flower trough. Juliusson states "It is important to take care of the Growing Jewelry. For best results water it only once every 5 weeks and be careful not to water to much. It’s also good to store the ring in deep freeze to preserve it."

Small Heel. Big Faux Pas.

Why won't kitten heels disappear? This vent of steam was instigated by a photoshoot in January's ASOS magazine. Below are a few pairs out of the issue, all within a few pages of each other. To add insult to injury, there was barely a platform, stiletto or block heel in sight. Putting it lightly, I'm mortified that they have made it into the new year. As far as I'm concerned there is no valid reason for them. Leg lengthening? Barely. Flattering? Hardly. Worthwhile 'heel'? Never.

Harding And Heine.

Two new collections to hit Topshop this Winter - Matthew Harding and Lilly Heine.

Matthew Harding launched his suave collection this month, where structured pleats give a hard edge to his feminine pieces. The blouse below has already sold out online so if you have £250 to get a little treat for Christmas, I would be eternally grateful.

Structured Top £250

Structured Dress £280

Lilly Heine is a graduate of Central Saint Martins and produced her Picasso-inspired collections to much success. She gives volume to simple pieces using layers and the soft colours keep it feminine. The collection was kept neutral on the catwalk, however it is already a little too feminine for me, so I would pop on some chunky dark heels with a not too matchy-matchy bag.

Two Leaf Tea Dress £300

Leaf Tea Dress £250

Square Tee £250

All That Glitters.

We are back to the time of year where sparkle is everywhere and the internet is awash with people either looking forward to, moaning about, or selling staff Christmas parties. We at Topshop had ours the other Sunday which I am sure went down like most; good but the hype surrounding it always surpasses the actual event. Below are a few festive party dresses which I think would look a treat with some Christmas sparkle.

Velvet Dress By Boutique, £125, Topshop

Limited Edition Black Embossed Wool Dress, £545, Kirsty Doyle

Cream Texture Roses Shift Dress, £50, River Island

Premium Pale Blue Snow Jewel Dress, £60, Topshop

Harriet Dress, £149, Reiss

Selena Skater Bandage Dress, £195, Whistles

Spade Mini Dress, £115, Aqua 

Taking Jersey From Day To Night.

Apologies for the delay in these posts, I have just finished university for Christmas with some exams, coursework and overall little life to talk of. I shall try my utmost to make up for this with a few posts over the next couple of days. To start us off on this blogathon is this post on Topshop's latest range of basic jersey tops and how I would dress them for day or night.

Basic Button Through Sleeveless Shirt, £18.

Of a daytime, I would wear these shirts with jeans and brogues. A silk neck or head scarf, chunky jewellery or a blazer or jacket would make lovely additions to the outfit.

High Waisted 70s Skinny Jeans, £40, Kam Box Leather Brogues, £60, Fringe biker by Boutique, £180, Pearl Triple Finger Ring, £10, all Topshop. Silk Georgette Scarf by Christopher Kane, £160, Liberty.

And of a nighttime, I would stick to trousers with this shirt, throw a cuff on the upper arm and add some sparkle to the make up. And of course these sell out heels.

Patti Leopard Platforms, £100. Premium Black Leather Skinny Trousers, £250, Cream Eyeshadow in Goldmine, £7, Small Red Leather Box Bag, £40, Plaited Wave Cuff, £12.50, all Topshop.

Trench Drench.

Military Trench, £125, Topshop

If you fancy a more masculin or military take on an arguably feminine coat then this is for you. The contrasting colours make it more interesting than most on the high street. The reasons behind my choices are mainly because there are only so many looks the classic trench can get you.

Trench by Unique, £225, Topshop

Cute, quirky and casual. Need I say more?

Trench, £215, Topshop

Would love this trench right about now. You could go out wearing just about that and not much more and still have a complete outfit.

To Better Boot.

Arabia Desert Boot, £60, Topshop

That's more like it Topshop.



To Boot.

Arid Desert Boots, £65, Topshop.

Finally Topshop have some suede desert boots in and I'm not impressed. I'd like the smart desert boots that Topman make in 20 different styles and colours for men. They might just have to suffice.
