Two sides...for each story

Dress: Kate Moss for Topshop   Sandals: Primark   Watch: River Island   Bracelet: Topshop   Ring: H&M  

Some more shots from the holiday in a dress that I have had for AGEEEEESSSSS!!! I think it was actually from Kate Moss' very first collection for Topshop, (who can forget that picture of her in the Topshop window at the collections unveiling here). As I have said previously I love garments with different cuts/shapes and like this with the different shoulders (one sleeved, one non) and the draw string to pull up the hem to the wanted level and the ruching across the stomach.

One of my favourite bloggers, The Cherry Blossom Girl, has also just returned from Tenerife and has some gorgeous images from the landscape (as well as some equally gorgeous photos of her garments and accessories!), especially jealous of her dolphin sightings. The only wildlife we saw was a slightly scary but very yappy dog and a small lizard I decided to call Steve, not exactly the same!

Birthday...in the clouds

Dress: Topshop   Boots: New Look   Socks: Primark   Fur coat: H&M   Bracelet: Gift

Sorry have been a bit slack again this week with posts but have had a busy week which ended up with my birthday celebrations, where I went with a great bunch of friends to the Cloud 23 bar in the Hilton hotel here in Manchester for very civilised afternoon tea and then on to explore the Manchester Christmas markets and enjoy more food and drink there. I've never been to Cloud 23 before and couldn't have asked for a clearer day, could see all the way to the snow covered hills in the distance. Sorry about photo quality, from phone camera am afraid.

Did give me a chance to wear my beautiful star dress from Topshop, posted about here, had wanted to team with my velvet ankle boots but didn't want to ruin in the wet so put with some black boots and contrasting socks. The fur coat was one of my friends who came all the way up from London and was soooo cosy and warm, almost didn't give it back! Have posted more photos on Facebook, here.

What a...handful

Has only been three days of three weeks whilst I'm in my plaster cast and am already running out of things I can do at home! Suggestions please would be very welcome, by the end of this week will probably have all Christmas cards written and seen all box sets I own...twice! 

Is giving me a chance to go through smaller things like accessories, and the rings above. Don't tend to be a massive ring wearer and usually end up getting larger statement rings, like the various animal ones above but would quite like it if could get a few that can easily stack like, here, from Annoushka jewellery (check out the more ideas tab) or, here, from Acessorize. Have also added a couple of additional styles to facebook, here, think will be giving away some jewellery bits soon so keep an eye out for details. 

Seeing red...creepers

This was what I was wearing when I was having a mammoth shopping session in Topshop the other day, check out pictures on Twitter, here, and Facebook, here. The idea was to get the boyfriend some ideas for Christmas and birthday but got a bit carried away wanting to try everything on. Was having a bit of a thing for red today, apparently, hadn't meant to be quite so coordinated with the shoes, bag and watch but it actually worked well. Men's jumpers are so much better sometimes when like the basic ones that are oversized and are just so much warmer! 

On the red theme I did see in Topshop today these platform creepers, here, that I want (and also come in white and red) but when checking online saw the above bright red ones that could have gone with a similar outfit today. Creepers are having a massive come back at the moment and not something I thought I would ever wear but with the heels, or the bright red versions, my opinion is changing!

All that glitters...uses my gold

Have had an unexpected day today, went into town to get some more work shoes and this vintage style dress from New Look, here, nether of which I found! At my stop offs at the usual favourites like Topshop was taken in by all the pretty glittery shoes like the boots, similar to Guiseppe Zanotti ones, here, or the shoes, similar to Miu Miu ones worn by Camilla Belle, here. See additional photos on twitter, here.

Anyway on the way back to the train (via Primark) I unexpectedly came across the above beauties and am so pleased as I have been lusting after a pair since I saw one of my favourite bloggers come across some in Topshop in New York, remember I mentioned wheredidugetthat.com in a previous post, here. They are so pretty, as mentioned before am bit of a magpie!!!
