China Blue

London based label Three Floor Fashion was launched in 2011 and is fast gaining a cult following in the fashion world. Inspired by the effortless style of fashion insiders, from models to bloggers, Three Floor's aesthetic is laidback-luxe; cool, relaxed collections with provocative hemlines and unique, sexy silhouettes that flatter the female shape.

The China Blue dress is one of the sexiest, most eye-catching dresses I have ever seen! A stunning figure skimming piece with sexy blue lace against a non-transparent nude mesh, it features long semi-sheer sleeves with gold button fastening, side cut-outs, a keyhole back detail, exposed gold zip fastening, a short rounded hemline and faux leather that trims the delicate lace. It is a show stopper in every way!

I styled the dress for this shoot with patent nude shoes. A great shoe colour to lengthen legs. I added the iconic Lulu Guinness red lips clutch and finished the look off with a bold, red lip.

Eastenders

After some recent fantastic purchases from UK based brand Antipodium (blogged here and here), I have been absolutely obsessed with their cool, modern, laid back designs. My most recent purchase is the achingly cool 'Greenwood' dress. 

This cute girly dress features a deep v-neck, contrast semi-sheer back & sleeves, an elasticated waist & a flirty, swingy skirt. Taking her inspiration from the streets of London, print designer Chloe Constantindi's exclusive 'Eastenders' print for the Brands A/W12 collection, shows the River Thames snaking it's way through one of the most vibrant Cities in the world; an iconic image we all see in the opening titles of 'Eastenders' the TV programme.

I styled the dress with a very neutral pair of nude shoes, my go to Tiffany trinkets & off I went to meet friends for coffee! I was singing the Eastenders theme tune for the rest of the day; you just can't help yourself, duff duff duff!

Massie

The maxi dress has become an all year round staple in every girls wardrobe, including mine. I adore a long dress; I love to glam up in a sexy evening gown and I am equally happy rocking a more casual maxi like this one from Twenty8twelve's fantastic AW12 collection.

I first saw the 'Massie' maxi dress gracing the catwalk at T8T's Trunk Show in Mayfair. I fell in love with it at first sight & promised to treat myself to one at the earliest opportunity!

A very simple silhouette, Massie features a colourful paint splatter print on it's silk front; vibrant shades of pinks, golds & dark blues pop dramatically against the palest pastel pink. The dark, inky blue colour is carried through to the soft cotton t-shirt style back.

I styled this colourful, statement piece very simply, pairing it with neutral, nude coloured heels, simple silver jewellery and a bright red lip.

Charlie Chaplin

I was flicking through last weeks issue of Look Magazine when a picture of a beautiful dress featuring a novel Charlie Chaplin print immediately grabbed my attention. I went online to find out more about the obviously amazing Designer. London born Emma Louise is a womenswear designer specialising in unique prints; she has previously worked with Olivia Rubin (another Designer with a passion for amazing prints) & was part of the legendary Alexander McQueen design team.

The Chaplin dress that I had fallen in love with was part of her A/W11 collection which Emma says "relishes in 1930s culture". It is inspired by icons such as Norma Shearer & blends feminine sensuality with masculine tailoring. Emma's fabulous collections feature beautiful shift dresses, tops & shirts in loose, sexy silhouettes, beautiful colours & exquisite prints.

The Chaplin dress is a fresh take on the classic shift dress; made from luxurious crepe de chine in the palest gold, it features red silhouettes of iconic silent movie star Charlie Chaplin. It simply slips on & can be dressed up with heels and a cute clutch or dressed down with transeasonal ankle boots.

It's my first piece from Emma Louise London but it's fair to say it won't be my last! Emma's unique collections are available to buy online at Little Black Dress and her amazing A/W12 collection will be dropping there at the end of the month; I already have my eye on the fabulous Elephant Skin shift dress (please keep one for me Emma!!).

Peter Pan

I have been in and out of love with Topshop for as long as I can remember. Right now, I am hopelessly IN LOVE! They have produced some incredible, wearable pieces over the last few seasons and my bank balance can hardly keep up!

One of my favourite things to wear is a shorts playsuit and a shorts playsuit is something good ol' Toppers does particularly well. I live in them all year round, with bare legs and a big smile in the Summer and with black opaque tights and shoeboots when the weather gets cooler.

This gorgeous little shorts playsuit is a case in point; it is so special! The navy velvet lends a very luxurious feel to it, it looks expensive but it was actually a very affordable £50! The white lace Peter Pan collar adds a gorgeous girly contrast. I love a Peter Pan collar; that girly rounded collar that evokes a sense of innocence and is favoured by ingenue-esque starlets like Alexa Chung and Kirsten Dunst. It was allegedly named after the collar of the costume worn by actress Maude Adams in 1905 when she played Peter Pan and has since become a trend that reappears season after season, year after year. 

Here I have teamed my playsuit with nude patent shoes and a delicious pink lipstick in keeping with the cute, girly look.

Kiss Me Kate

Project D's website says that they design 'beautiful dresses to make every woman feel beautiful', & it's true, they do. 

My most recent Project D purchase was an incredible bargain; the beautiful 'Kate' dress was reduced in their end of season sale from £375 to a bargainlicious £75!! I snapped it up! The dress was a little too long for me so I sent it to my then trusty Tailor for alteration. I actually cried when he returned it to me; he had absolutely butchered it and the hem was all kinds of different lengths! It was incredibly shabby work for such a simple alteration but thankfully a new, highly recommended Tailor came to the rescue and managed to fix it. It's a little shorter than I'd originally wanted it to be but thank goodness it's still wearable! 

It was the colour and beautiful floral print that first attracted me to this lovely dress. It's proved to be a very popular combination as there are two other completely different style dresses available from Project D in the same gorgeous colour/print. Pippa Middleton, sister of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, was recently spotted wearing the fabulous 'Elle' maxi version to a Wedding and she looked incredible!

This navy printed silk tea dress immediately makes you feel lady-like while the deep plunging neckline ensures you always have a cheeky twinkle in your eye! I teamed it for a night out, with Christian Louboutin 'Very Prive'  black peep-toe shoes & some silver Tiffany trinkets for a cute, girlie look.

Alter Ego

I recently had a very special gig with my band Alter Ego! We spend most of our time playing at private functions around the Country but this gig was a very rare public showcase.  Friends & family came to cheer us on & we had an awesome night rocking out at the most stunning venue, Lythe Hill Hotel & Spa in the beautiful Surrey Countryside. 

I changed outfits twice before I even walked onstage but I finally ended up wearing a beautiful BCBGMAXZRIA strapless dress. It's an old gig faithful & will probably be worn until it falls apart! The dress has a flattering black net waistband, a short pleat skirt that has just the right amount of fullness and a playful ruffle and rosette applique detail at the front. I love the rich cream colour and the soft metallic shimmer that catches the lights so beautifully when I wear it onstage.

I wore it with towering patent nude heels, my ever present Tiffany trinkets and some fierce red lipstick by MAC (the best red lipstick I've ever used!).
