Lace & Leather

I picked up this dress on a shopping trip today, I saw it online and instantly loved it. New Look sent me a £30 voucher to review something for them and I managed to get this dress and the cute dog belt that you can see below. I'd say that New Look as a store is always 70% consistent for me, I prefer the a/w stock as I feel it is a bit more 'grown up' for me. But when I go in I always love atleast a few things, which is no mean feat. I am actually in love with these atm.


In real life, this dress is a pale peach lace, but what sold it was the fact that it had a leather collar. For £24.99 I think it's a bit of a bargain and it covers my bottom! Hurrah! I would wear it in the day and dress it up for the night with some killer heels. Only downside though, although it has a lining it's still a tad see through, which sucks a tad.

Thanks for all your Instagram comments about my hair, it's a big change but as blonde is my natural hair colour...you could say I'm going back to my roots.

  11. Such a cute dress and yeah £24.99 is a steal (as it has got the collar detail). I really like this whole contrast trend, I want a coat with the leather sleeve thing. Anyway you look stunning and I love the belt and necklace too, it's girly but with a little edge. Hope your well Gem, seems like forever since we have had a good old chat xx
