I've had these pictures sitting around for a few months so not so sure why I haven't posted them yet. The main reason I took them was to show off my not-so-new-any more Jeffrey Campbell wedges. Now I can't actually remember what the style is called but they are very similar to the Alexa's but have a zip instead of laces. I got them in an Office sale in November time if memory serves right after coveting them for ages. I hate buying expensive shoes so always try to hold out for sale so when I saw these for 50% off I knew I had to snap them up! As heels go these are really comfortable due to the hidden wedge and chunky platform and I think they look really cool when styled with most dresses, they add that grungy element I am always so keen to channel. I know everyone and their mother has this bag but it's perfect for evening use.

Do you have any Jeffrey Campbell shoes x

Blazer - River Island
Hat - River Island

When I first spied this dress I didn't buy it straight away because I was waiting for pay day to roll around, of course it sold out instantly! Anyway, after keeping a beady eye look out for returns and possible restocks it came back online and I snapped it up. I'm so glad I got my grubby mitts on it because I love the tie dye print and cut out shoulder detail plus that oversized just throw on shape makes it so easy to wear on lazy days.

I teamed the dress with MY GORGEOUS AMAZING NEW DMS which I have lusted after for so many months now but the price always put me off buying them and then along came a 50% sale and they were finally mine. Cherry red, velvet and a double sole what it not to absolutely fall head over heels in love with. You all know I love a chunky shoe, well these are on another level and are my new favourites! I'm tempted to get the black patent boots as well but shhh, don't tell anyone.

I thought my hat kind of matched the shoes as well, I've had this beanies for ages and it's perfect for keeping my head nice and warm in the winter. I like hats but I don't think I'm a hat person but I'm going to keep wearing them regardless.

Easy outfit for an easy Sunday, what did you wear yesterday x

I picked up this dress from the ASOS Africa AW12 collection and I absolutely adore it. What's not to love about a dress where the front is a completely different print from the back? The floral design at the front is gorgeous and made from faux silk whilst the back is jersey material with big chunky stripes i.e my favourite of all pattern! This is quite possible one of the nicest dresses I've ever bought and I am going to be wearing it lots! Despite all the crazy clashes going on I think it's easy to wear as the skater shape is very easy to style and because the back and sleeves are made from thick jersey material it's really warm.

I wore this yesterday for some #100London action in the Bloomsbury area where I visited a bunch of UCL museums and the Wellcome Collection to see the Death exhibition which is really interesting. I then went straight out for a birthday dinner in the evening and the dress saw me nicely through both occasions.

My leather boots which are only a few months old are looking so battered these days but I love them and all the studs. I wore them with my new fringe socks which are really fun.

What did you do this weekend x
