Chalmont

This stunning lace and twill playsuit from Twenty8twelve is my perfect choice for a glamorous night out. This stylish piece features a lace body, a separate black silk camisole, fully lined shorts with pockets, a round neckline and a sexy open back. 

I wore it for date night with my Husband last night and paired it with fabulous Miu Miu python-effect shoes in turquoise for a vibrant pop of colour. The jewellery is my usual collection of much loved Tiffany trinkets.

I actually think this is one of my all time favourite outfits. It ticks all the right boxes for me; a shorts playsuit, black, lace, statement shoes in a great colour. Literally all of my favourite fashion things in one easy to wear look. Hubby liked it too!

Thoroughly Modern Military

The military trend is everywhere for AW12. In fact, military/utility has been a reoccurring trend for many seasons now and for me, it offers a cool alternative to to the more delicate, feminine pieces I usually wear.

This denim military style coat is an oldie but goodie that I recently rediscovered in the darkest recesses of my wardrobe. Vintage Karen Millen, what a find! I love it's sharp, structured silhouette & the cool, vintage look of the faded denim. The straight cut coat features a stand up collar, a button down front, flapped front pockets and buttoned shoulder epaulets that add the most military of accents.

I styled the coat with gorgeous Isabel Marant jeans, a simple black silk top by Kymerah (one of my favourite brands!) and black suede desert boots. I think I'll be rocking this comfy, stylish look a lot this season!

Piera

I bought this dress from Reiss a few years ago & it has become a 'going out' staple. I love it because it is almost body-con but not so clingy that I have to spend an entire night out holding my tummy in!

The dress features long sleeves, a round neck, a sexy scoop back & thigh skimming hemline. The 'dots' are actually tiny crystal studs that sparkle like glorious little stars when they catch the light! It's a very simple style but the sparkles make it feel very glamorous indeed.

I have teamed it here with black Christian Louboutin peep-toe shoes & matched my lips to the iconic red soles with a swipe of my favourite MAC lipstick. The perfect outfit for the Christmas party season!

Dante

Savannah is the much anticipated solo collection from Savannah Miller; her first since she and her sister Sienna moved on from their super successful brand Twenty8twelve. I have long been a fan of Savannah's work & I was beside myself with excitement when I heard about her new collection; it did not disappoint!

Savannah describes her collection as individual, wearable and affordable. It features wardrobe essentials such as skinny jeans, super soft t-shirts, chunky knit sweaters, shoes (yes shoes!) and beautiful, must-have party dresses.  The collection is so affordable with prices ranging from £19.95 for belts to under £200 for fantastic winter coats!

The first piece I ordered was the stunning, silky 'Dante' dress. Effortlessly chic, the dress features a wrap front, side zip, gorgeous girlie ruffle detailing to front & rear and it comes in the most flattering 'antique blush' colour. It's hard to believe it only cost £62.95; it looks and feels so expensive and luxurious!

I styled the dress with gold accessories; a treasured, vintage charm bracelet that belonged to my late Mum, my cute Bumble Bee necklace by Alex Munroe and fabulous gold studded, cream Christian Louboutin Mary Jane shoes.

The Savannah collection is available online, exclusively at nelly.com; go check it out & grab yourself a fantastic bargain!

Amazing Grace

One of the world's most talented Designers, Stella McCartney is renowned & adored for her ultra feminine, easy to wear tailoring that is mixed up with a very rock & roll edge. I had always wanted something... anything... from one of her incredible collections so I saved and saved and saved and waited for the perfect piece to treat myself too!

I found that special piece in her A/W10 collection when one particularly beautiful dress really stood out for me; 'Grace’ a simple, stunning dress I knew I would wear time after time for years to come; a real investment buy.

The most perfect LBD, Grace is practical, timeless & exudes effortless chic. Made in a heavy, luxurious satin and cut for a boxy fit, it features one sleeveless shoulder, an asymmetrical neckline & a short, leg flattering length.

For a statement evening look, I styled it here with amazing studded Christian Louboutin pumps & a selection of Tiffany & Co bangles.
