Perfect Christmas Party Outfit- Day 1. Dresses

So to me for some reason Christmas parties or going out over Christmas wearing a dress is a must- it is the law. It is a law which I do my hardest not to break.

Due to the masses and masses of snow the North East has had last night, I think more likely staying in until the snow melts would be the best option for me at the moment :(

However for all of you lucky snow-free people and those who will dare to brave the snow here are my favourite party dresses (including a few of my own) on the high street now.

Devo Mini Dress £221 All Saints, Cream Pleated Swing Dress £39.99 River Island, One Shoulder Drape Dress £55 Topshop, Ceri Dress £100 All Saints (I want this in the Boxing Day Sales).

Asos Embellished Collar Shift Dress £46 Asos, Karen Millen Snow Lepoard Print Dress £250 Asos, Jone and Jones Bodycon Dress £55 Pretaportabello, Black Embellished Vest Dress £70 Miss Selfridge.

TFNC One Shoulder Sequinned Dress £40 Asos, Miso Embroidered Dress £39.99 Republic, TFNC Embellished Dress £55 Topshop (I have this and love it), Wisteria Lane Dress £195 French Connection.

Trollied Dolly Print Prom Dress £48 Pretaportbello, Kate Moss Dobby Dress £60 Topshop (my party dress), Rise Embellished Shift Dress £65 Asos, Whistles Zebra Scribble Dress £150 Asos.

Aqua One Shoulder Padded Dress £70 Asos, Silk Zip Back Tunic £50 Topshop (I have this and love it), Asos Drummer Girl Tulip Dress £46 (really want this), Oyster Sequin Dress £130 French Connection.

So what happens if you don't like wearing Dresses?? I'll show you my pick of Trousers/Shorts/Skirts tomorrow.

Do you always buy an Christmas Party dress?? What are you thinking of wearing?? If you have any questions or thoughts- leave them below xxx

Christmas Party Dress Pickle- sorted

Isn't it a chew on trying to find the perfect Christmas Party dress??

Normally I am running around the Metro Centre the night before trying to find the perfect dress. However this year I have found it... (and mentioned it on a previous post).

The Kate Moss for Topshop Black Dobby Spot Print Dress.

Newcastle Topshop didn't have it in a 12, and the Metro Centre or Durham doesn't have the concession in. I emailed a seller on ebay who said they would sell me a used one for £55 (I think I would pay the extra fiver for a brand new one).

This is where I ask you all for a MASSIVE FAVOUR... does any of you have this dress in your wardrobes which you are willing to sell or does the Topshop near you have this in?? I'm waiting to hear back from a friend to see whether Middlesbrough have the concession in. Really want this dress for the 10th December.

Can any of you help please?? xx

Update- just had a seller from ebay contact me. I've got the dress for £30!!! Hurrah. Now what shoes to wear with it?? haha xxxx

To Dress or not to Dress

I have to admit I HATE this time of year- trying to find dresses which aren't too formal, aren't too casual, aren't too ridiculous ready for Christmas. For me this kinda is the worse time of the year, as from the end of Novemeber its really party party party for me, until I have my birthday night out in January. In this period of time... I have my best mates birthday, JEMs birthday, works xmas night out, normal saturday nights out, mad friday, christmas eve, boxing day, normally the day after that, new years eve, and then my birthday.

Plus as the 6 week rule nearly always applies (is that just a NE thing?), I like to be stocked up on cute dresses (and an extra special one for my birthday)- however this makes it even more difficult trying to pick outfits out for nights outs. 

I like dresses which you can wear with blazers or bomber jackets- after an incident on last NYE which involved me waiting for a taxi for over an hour in the snow in minus whatever. NEVER AGAIN.

So here are my current favourites (these took ages to find)...

Tavi Dress £295, Gabriel Mini Dress £195- both All Saints, Jewel Digital Print Dress £324- Emma Cook at ASOS, Metal Mindy Dress £140- French Connection.

Tribal Ladder Neck Dress £38- ASOS, Green One Shoulder Dress £29.99- H+M, Josephine Acid Print Tee Dress £149- Reiss, Jersey Cape Detail Dress £36- ASOS.

One Shoulder Animal Print Dress £36- TFNC at ASOS, Pink Pintuck Dress £32- Miss Selfridge, One Shoulder Dress £29.99- Miso at Republic, Animal Wrap Dress £24.99- H+M.

So out of these I definately want the Green H+M dress, possibley the tribal ladder dress (although it is strapless), and all of the embellished dresses. What are your favourites? Which dresses should I buy?

Decisions, decisions!!

Where has September gone too- can't believe until reminded earlier on today, that my favourite day of the month is upon me next week... PAY to the DAY.


I shall will be spending my salary on some of these bobby dazzlers...

House of Holland Suspender Tights £12 Asos, Leopard Print Dress £90 Topshop

Tic Tac Toe Dress £75 French Connection @ Asos, Spiro Print Tee £35 Topshop

I've already ordered the love bracelet, and deffo need those HoH tights for winter. I've already got a McQ scarf but not the Skull one... hmmm. However I will probably change my mind between now and payday.

What do you think of the pink dress- I've been wanting a pink dress for ages to wear under my bomber jacket?? Advice would be appreciated please.

Hope you have a fab weekend xxx

£29 It Dress

I don't know if its me- but for some reason on a night out I have to wear a dress. I don't feel "dressed" if i'm not wearing a dress. Strange I know, so every time before a night out I have the major panic of "having nothing to wear". Now considering I have a wardobe dedicated to going out clothes- I don't have anything to wear haha.

I always think this time of year is a bit funny for finding nice going out dresses which aren't too summery or xmas party dresses. Now with my dresses- bar the very special ones- I like to have the opportunity to be able to pair them with tights and a blazer/leather jacket.

Motel is one of those makes which to be honest with you, I always think looks nice in magazines, but when you see it in person the quality is a bit rubbish/looks cheap/poorly made. Now my thoughts may be changed after seeing a piece in Look magazine about their £29 wanda dresses.

Basically its strapless tulip dress which comes in about 6 different patterns, and if you join the website you can get £10 off.

These are my 2 personal favs- I love Animal print and how season after season its always in for A/W (blog post to be done on that later), and the feather print can tie me over both S/S and A/W. Check out www.motelrocks.com for more details.

Emmy Fashion

I've had a very productive Bank Holiday Monday today doing sweet fa :)

Last night in America was the Emmy awards- here's my favourite outfits from the night.

Amazing outfits- I think you would agree. Loving January Jones's asymetrical lining of her dress- unsual yet fabulous. Need to have a special mention to the loverly ladies below- in my opinion they looked the best....

How stunning does Kelly O look- that girl never fails to impress me, her style is fabulous. And of course Betty White needs to be mentioned also- I want to adopt her.

Hope you're all having a great day- follow me on Twitter @whoissheblog xxx

I heart Olivia Rubin dresses.... I want want want.

Love her statement party dresses and how versatile they can be- you can dress them up or down.

This is the time of year when I normally start looking for THE perfect dress for the Winter period- yes I know I am early- but tis the season to be jolly (and look fabulous). I need to put the effort in haha.

I'm still loving her paint splattered esq dresses- I think I may splurge some cash on one of these dresses. Here's my favourite...

Cezane Dress £109 (Coconutalley.com) and Gaudi Paint Splattered Dress £115 (my-wardrobe.com)

Matisse Dress £99 (Coconutalley.co.uk)
