OOTN: West End Wonderland.

I cannot really explain how this outfit made me feel, but I feel like I was from Essex or somewhere similar. I just felt like a real British party girl, don't ask me why, OK, I just did! I was ready for a night out on the town!!


Faux Fur Coat (L) - Estelle for Myer
Dress (L) - H&M
Gold Glitter Shoes (43) - Les Belles Pointures, Paris.
Necklace - House of Harlow 1960
Ring (L) - Colette


My very good & amazing French friend Alexandra sent over this amazing dress from H&M! Even though it's such a metallic type fabric, it is soooooooo soft! So soft, like it's not at all what you expect it to even feel like! It's also only from the straight sized section, which again, only goes to show you that size is nothing but a number printed on a tag! 





Also, I think it's pretty clear I'm in love with these shoes, at first I was too scared to even wear them as I didn't want to wreck them. But I have worn them a few times and they seem to just go with anything, and every time I have worn them people ask me where they are from and I get a few stares.. but I do all the time :p But they are such statement shoes, but so simple at the same time!





Stay Beautiful!

OOTN: If one of us falls, the other will soon be following.

Finally! Finally, finally, finally! A Miu Miu inspired outfit! FINALLY! When I saw this Estelle dress at MYER the other day, I got very, very excited! Like beyond excited! For me this dress reminds me of the beautiful lace coats I have seen in Miu Miu advertisements and on their website! So to me this is very Miu Miu indeed. Miu Miu for the Curvette anyway!

Silver Mary Jane's (UK9) - Beth Ditto for Evans



At the time, when I took these outfit photos I wasn't 100% sure I was keeping this dress. As you can tell its a little more fitted and body con than any other dress I own. But after see and editing these photos, I'm even more in love with it! But don't mind the tags sticking out! The one thing I can't decide on is which colour ribbon I like better with it! I love how the bright crimson red pops against the luscious purple shade but the the other one in the photos looks really very nice too! 


So please help me pick! In the comments, tell me which one you like better! 







I've always had a fondness for Estelle, a brand that for me, has always given chic, girlie on trend pieces that have always been of impeccable quality. I mean I don't like everything, but that's with every brand that ever exists. But I have a lot of their pieces in my closet and lately I've been very very lucky in picking up pieces it feels like I've waiting my whole life for.









I really hope MYER keep Estelle going in this direction, but the pieces I've been picking up are amazing. This dress retails for $149.95 which in my opinion, is a bit of a steal! 


Which belt?!


Stay Beautiful!

OOTD: She Was a Skater Girl...

You know, I'm not really a girl who has any fashion off duty days. I really love dressing up! But when I'm running errands or just catching up with friends for coffee, I like to be comfy, casual but still really chic! Enter... 17 Sundays. An Australian fashion brand that has combined all that for me perfectly!


Faux Leather Jacket (L) - Mink Denim at MYER
Black Singlet (US22) - ASOS Curve
"Skater Girl" Skirt (22) - Gifted by 17Sundays
Necklace - House of Harlow 1960
Pink Hellraisers - Unif via SoulStruck.com



This is the most comfy skirt ever! It really just drapes so beautifully on the body, and it has pockets that are not just there for show! You can actually really put stuff in them! Love them! It has elastic in the waist, like the entire waist, which just makes it sit on the waist perfectly! Also, did I mention it's pink? Like if there were not enough reasons to like it already, they make it pink!








I think this would look so great with a plain white tee and a big bold necklace, or a white single and a big cold cuff with think wedges... I must try that! As soon as someone brings out some amazing white basics, I'll be all over it. Also, I'm just putting it out there. I think this necklace is becoming my new unicorn! I wear it so much! It actually is a locket and there is a slot to put a photo into on the inside, but I just haven't got around to it yet. 






I've already told the dolls over at 17Sundays that they need to bring this out in a more drapey mini version, that version would sell like hotcakes at McDonalds in the early morn' for sure! So will this version! head over to 17 Sundays and check out all the new pieces that have arrived!


Stay Beautiful!

OOTD: Tapping The Blues Away.




Orange Knit Tee (L) - Estelle
Crown Pin - Sophie Hulme
Glenda Ring - Gifted by GLITTERRINGS
Black Headband - Target
Necklace - House of Harlow 1960
Polka Dot Short (EURO 54) - H&M *A gift of a friend
Silver Mary Jane's (UK9) - Beth Ditto for Evans

 I have NEVER been a shorts kinda girl, never ever. But when talking about pieces we liked, I showed my French firend Alex these shorts from the plus size section in H&M. I just loved how chic they are, but I think it really shows how ones style does evolve. Anywho, when I opened up my birthday package, low and behold, there they were. Along with some other very beautiful pieces, including the Gold Ballerinas of my previous post! 








How divine are they? Being a blogger you hear whispers about what's good quality and what's poorly made. H&M (like any brand) I have heard can be quite hit and miss, but I have never found that. Everything I have that is by them, is beautiful quality and also very well made. This shorts in particular are made of the most beautiful cotton that feels so soft and smooth against the skin. 






So this outfit was a very different for me, firstly my top is not tucked in and I'm also wearing shorts, which is only a step away from pants, really. 


Stay Beautiful!

A Delayed Birthday Joy!

I really am a very, very lucky gal. One of my beautiful Friends Alex, sent me a lovely and very very beautiful Birthday care package. Alexandra lives in Paris and has the most beautiful taste! She showed me one of the presents she got me back in April, but as she was getting some other goodies together it only just recently arrived. 







My friend Alex, understand that sometimes when you have a larger/longer foot it's hard to get  cute shoes let alone amazingly spectacular ones like these! She got these from an amazing Parisian store named Les Belles Pointures. This particular pair are named Ballerines Paillettes or and are by Anniel. They retail for 105 EURO and go to a size 43, which just happens to be the size I have - and they fit perfectly! And not to mention look gorgeous on! The way they sparkle when the light hits them is just beyond beautiful!







So if your after a lush pair of flats that have a French flair head over to Les Belles Pointures right this second! Trust me, you WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED!


Lots of new posts are in the works, so please keep your eyes peeled!


Stay Beautiful!

OOTN: Diet Mountain Dew,Baby, New York City.

So, if it's been a little while since my last post I apologise. My laptop passed away, and I had to work out which was my next one to get. With NYC so close, I had to find something affordable AND wonderful. I am an extremely lucky girl, I got a brand new Sony VAIO (my old one was a VAIO too!) !! So I now have no excuses to not keep knocking out posts, and it did I mention it's pink?




Pleather Maxi (XL) - Damn You Alexis for City Chic
Hair Band - Sportsgirl
Ribbon Belt - Spotlight
"Glenda" Ring - Gifted by GLITTERRINGS
White Stone Clutch - Colette
Glitter Shoes (US12) - Gifted by Torrid

Lately here in Australia there have been so many promos on TV for this show "Once Upon A Time" (when will that start already?) and it's truley gotten to me and while I  didn't mean to, this outfit sort of feels a little "princess-ey", you know? I think its the headband and the bust of the dress that does it, but I like it all the same. Especially the bust of this dress! It is one of the best pleathers I have felt, because I'm actually pretty sure it's leather... thats how good it feels!





I know this doesn't look like the famous Damn You Alexis maxi dress, but thats just because of the undie tuck. This was something I was taught by the amazing girls down at Camilla, simply tuck part of the skirt/dress up into your shaping slip or undies and boom, completely different dress! Try it sometime, its a great way of getting a different style out of a simple maxi, its also rather cost effective if you ask me!






Judging by how frozen my fingers are right now, I'm pretty sure winter has arrived even though it was quite warm yesterday! I love exciting weather like this, I just wish I knew if I should keep my coat out or not!

Have any of you tried the ribbon belt yet? If you have, I would love to see, post your pics on the Too Many Sequins Facebook wall!

Stay Beautiful!
