Hit The Jackpot

Dannii Minogue is back in the UK and her fabulous fashion label Project D London is all over the magazines and newspapers as they publicise their AH-MAY-ZING S/S13 collection! I don't know how I'll wait to buy some of the glorious dresses but while I do, I was inspired to wear one of my all time favourite Project D dresses! The 'Jackpot' dress was the very first piece I bought from the brand. I first saw it when Dannii herself wore it to an Event in her hometown of Melbourne; the headline read "we need this dress in our lives", and I did! 

This beautiful Zebra print dress, in a delicious & unexpected brown/cream colourway, is made of silk georgette & has a soft silk lining. It features a deep cowl neckline, asymmetrical shoulders, figure flattering draping to the front & a sexy side split. The sophisticated detailing makes me feel very grown up & glamorous whenever I wear it!

I styled it with a fantastic waist belt I bought some time ago from Reiss. It makes my waist look tiny & really compliments the dress. The shoes are the most wearable of all Louboutins, classic peep-toes in black.

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.

Feeling Blue

I've had a lot of messages asking me about the blue dress I wear in my main Blog photograph and a lot of requests to actually blog about it; so here you are, I hope you enjoy!

As soon as I heard that Dannii Minogue (#girlcrush) was teaming up with her best friend Tabitha Somerset-Webb to design a range of clothing, I went into Fashionista meltdown! Project D didn't disappoint and this blue/grey graded silk chiffon 'Jingle' dress (from their Holiday 2010 Collection) is unquestionably one of my favourite dresses of all time!

With its spaghetti straps, cleavage flattering sweetheart neckline & full, flouncy skirt (which I flounce out even more with a black tulle underskirt!) it never fails to make me feel 100% red carpet ready. All I need now is the red carpet!

I paired it for a recent band Photoshoot with my Manolo Blahnik 'Sedarby' Zebra-print d'Orsay shoes. I first saw these gorgeous shoes gracing the feet of Carrie Bradshaw in the first Sex & The City Movie and I knew I had to have them. On a trip to New York the very first place I went to was the Manolo boutique to see if they had them. They had one pair left, in my size... I was obviously meant to have them!!
