I know I’ve been whinging about how rubbish the sales have been this year, but after paying ASOS a visit last week I actually ended up getting quite a little haul of things, this Gestuz dress being one of them. I’m a huge fan of the brand & couldn’t pass this up at 70% off, even though I was a little unsure of the tie-dye, marbled print to begin with. It was one of those pieces that as soon as I tried it on I didn’t want to take it off again, it’s super soft, drapes beautifully & the print is much subtler than I originally thought.

I’d been looking for a pair of casual, comfortable, go with anything wedges for the longest time. So, when I went along to the Finsk sample sale before Christmas & saw two perfect pairs, I couldn’t help myself from getting both. You’ve already seen the laced ones, but then I realised I haven’t shown this pair off yet! I love that they are basic enough to work with everything in my wardrobe, but they also have so many subtle little details that quietly make a real statement. The tiny notch in the back of the wedge & the double stud fastening are my favourite parts. Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference.

OS Accessories

OS is a handcrafted accessories line based in the Philippines using polyurethane to produce hyper realistic reproductions of bones for necklaces, harnesses & rings. The reproductions look & feel like real bone, giving the pieces a raw, almost primitive kind of beauty. Yet, they also feel incredibly modern, thanks to the pristine, milky white colouring that is without the usual blemishes, scars & imperfections you’d find on real bone.

The vertebrae choker is easily my favourite piece & is going straight onto my wishlist. You know how much I love a ‘conversation piece’ & this is definitely one of those, plus I imagine it would look seriously striking against my usual all black. The other pieces are equally as beautiful though, and with my love, borderline obsession for bones & anatomy in general, I get the feeling I may end up amassing a small collection of their pieces…

The lovely Rosie from Boohoo got in touch a little while ago asking if I’d like to be part of their blogger campaign for the #Globalstyler competition. I never usually enter competitions, or promote them on here, but the prize for this one is too amazing not to give it a shot & I urge all of you to have a go too!

I picked out this beautiful striped shirt dress to wear & honestly haven’t been able to stop wearing it since it arrived. I used to wear stripes a lot (I blame my Warhol obsession!) so as soon as I saw this I knew it was the perfect excuse to rekindle my love for them. The stripes look as though they’ve been painted on, with wobbly edges instead of being very harsh & graphic, which I love, it makes it feel just a little softer. The asymmetric hem & layers are what really drew me to it though, I’m always a sucker for both, but I think here they work so perfectly with the stripes & make it look much more expensive than the tiny £18 it costs.

Anyway, onto the competition! The prize is an incredible trip of a lifetime to any destination of your choice for you and a friend + spending money too! Anyone from the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or the USA can enter & all you need to do is take a photo of yourself wearing Boohoo, with the speech bubble & upload it to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #Globalstyler.
