I’ve just heard on breakfast TV that it’s 69 days until Christmas…don’t shoot the messenger! Seasonal shopping is as much about getting a hot frock (or five, oopsie) for all the social engagements going on as it is about buying gifts for loved ones, and I know that I have a flurry of hen nights/weddings/nights out before December even arrives! That makes cost as much a factor as style, which makes this dress a fabulous option.

I’m a long time fan of this colour for A/W as it feels cosy yet luxurious to me. The material of the dress is soft and really comfy so is really easy to move in , everybody has a boogie at this time of year after a few sherries don’t they? You may recognise the bag as similar to one I blogged in September – it’s an identical print but a bigger version (which also comes with a handy shoulder chain if you don’t fancy carrying it) and it also comes in black and white (smaller version) which is perfect for my monochrome obsession! I added a subtle touch of bling with a sparkly ring, I didn’t want to add a necklace as it would’ve been too much with the statement bag and the lace bottom of the dress. The dress is also available in Navy too, one of my other fave seasonal colours, and as they’re super cheap you could even treat yourself to both colours…Santa says you’ve been a good girl this year, why not. Hehe.
