Black Magic











One of my favourite dresses of all time is the achingly cool Antipodium  'Dearly Departed' maxi dress with it's fantastic Bunny Boiler illustrations by Karl Maier (blogged here). When I discovered that the dress was also available in plain black... well, you know the routine... I simply had to have it! Unfortunately it was way too late in the season and my size was sold out worldwide.

I contacted the lovely people at Antipodium in the vain hope that they might have one lying about; of course they didn't but they very sweetly promised to let me know if they came across one in my size. I didn't expect to hear from them again but bless them, they found the dress for me & I snapped it up quicker than you can say "My name is Fifibaggins and I am a shopaholic"!!


And here it is; the darkly dramatic 'Dearly Departed' maxi dress in black. The dress features a high neckline, long sheer sleeves, a high waistline with subtle pleat detail & a black under slip that sits just above the knees. I love how a sexy glimpse of leg can be seen through the sheer maxi skirt! I styled the dress with a fierce pair of Jeffrey Campbell 'Lita' boots that are very in keeping with the dramatic look of the dress but toned the whole look down with a very delicate, almost there make up.

Roses Are Black








This dress is one of the most beautiful dresses the Winter Kate brand have ever produced. I'd had my eye on it for months after seeing it's Designer, Nicole Richie, wearing it at a Lionel Richie gig. He's her Dad by the way!

I knew I wanted it & I knew exactly when and where I would first wear it; a Christmas party... in February! I kid you not. We went to the Do on Saturday night. It was held at the superbly glamorous Alexander House Hotel & Spa in Sussex and honestly, everyone should have a second Christmas in February!

The Winter Kate Ink Rose maxi dress is a deliciously dramatic piece. Cut in a figure flattering 1970s style, it is 100% silk & features a fitted waist, a sexy v-neckline with buttons to the front and stylish 3/4 length sleeves. The bold yellow colour with dramatic black rose & leaf print gives a seriously vintage feel to the dress and guarantees that the wearer will always stand out!


I wore it with black Christian Louboutin peep-toe shoes and some tonal gold accessories. I toyed with the idea of a red lip but in the end I went for a much more neutral pink lipstick from Bobbi Brown. In fact I kept all my make-up soft and subtle with just a hint of sparkle; nothing should distract from this amazing dress!
