ASOS Quilted Shoulder Tee / Bracher Emden Belt * / Religion Draped Skirt / Topshop Boutique Boots / Balenciaga City

This was the first time I’ve been out without a coat or jacket in months, it was such a nice day. Yet fast forward a few days to today & we have a thick blanket of snow & it’s back to being freezing again, typical British weather!

This outfit is all about the beautiful, angular Bracher Emden belt, it makes me feel like some sort of futuristic crime fighter & so I couldn’t resist pairing it with my quilted shoulder tee from ASOS for that little extra sci-fi element! It’s such a statement piece that it immediately dominates any outfit, so I like to keep the rest of my look simple so that it can take full center stage. I’ve been wearing it a lot over chunky sweaters too, as it’s one of those pieces that can transform even the most boring & casual outfits into something so striking & dynamic.

The draped skirt from Religion is one of the only sale buys I’ve brought this year, I’ve been so disappointed in the online sales & haven’t even bothered to check out the stores yet as I’ve heard they’re not much better either. I’d had my eye on the skirt for a while though, so of course I had to get it at 50% off. I love how the draping at the sides actually gives me the illusion of having a few curves, instead of my usual boyish silhouette!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas & saw out the end of 2012 with a bang!

Over the holidays I had a little break from all things online, it was so nice to just sit down with a good book, spend time with those I love, watch a movie & play some Xbox, uninterrupted by the constant compulsion to check my emails, twitter, facebook .etc, it was just what I needed & now I can’t wait to get started with 2013!

I’m so looking forward to finally catching up on emails & blog reading too over the next few days & seeing what you all got up to for Christmas & New Year!

The start of the new year has naturally lead to me to looking back over the last year, digging back through the archives & reminiscing. I thought a roundup of my 12 favourite outfits from 2012 would be a nice way to come back from my mini-break & start the new year. Which ones your favourite?

FAIIINT Asymmetric Dress / COS Belt / ASOS Spiked Choker / Rick Owens Wedges / Balenciaga City Bag

After the previous post about the Nelly launch party and my poor last minute attempt at an outfit shot, I’ve had a lot of you asking for better photos of the dress I made for the event, so I recreated the outfit I wore on the night & headed off down to the park to get some shots. The wind decided to play too, so it was the perfect day for it… I honestly think there is nothing better than swooshing around in a floaty dress in the wind! Though, needless to say we got some rather funny looks from everyone else decked out in tracksuits & sneakers!

I made this dress a few days before the party, I had nothing else to wear & no spare cash to buy anything new. I had been having an awful skin day (yes, still!) so I knew I needed to wear something that I’d feel great in to make me forget about it for the night. I only had a few days to make it, so it needed to be something simple, I used an old pattern I knew fit perfectly & adapted into this, basically an amalgamation of my favourite things in dress form. It’s made from cotton lawn, which is generally a shirting fabric, but it is also one of my favourites to work with & I have used it for just about every type of garment over the years. The collar bone is one of my favourite parts of the body & I always like to give necklines a little notch mimicking the shape, it’s a subtle but a nice detail I think & you’ll probably notice this quite a bit on things I’ve made. I also love anything asymmetric, so cutting the hem this way was an obvious choice & helps it look a little more interesting.
