This week everybody has been talking about Fashion Week, either flaunting the fact they are there or explain why they are just soo over it. One of the (many) gripes bloggers everywhere have noted is the street style on display.

To be honest, all the moaners do have a point. Most of the people who have their photos taken for street style features probably never wear anything nearly as out-there normally. They probably are putting it on for the cameras, but hey… if that makes them happy.

All this talk inspired me a bit though. Then Cosmopolitan tweeted a link about how faux fur was a bit of a street style trend. And voilá! The outfit of the week was decided upon; and incorporates two key factors.

• I would never normally wear this.
• Faux fur.

My boyfriend bought me this cape last year-ish. We picked it off the rail in Dorothy Perkins thinking it was a jacket, but discovered it was a cape. I’d quite like a cape, just not a fur one. He on the other hand insisted I should get it, and well, basically he was paying so I thought why not.

I feel like this should work. If it sat a bit differently, or even if the arm holes were set back a bit it might have made a huge difference. As it is though, it makes me feel like a 50’s film star when I put it on, then when I look in the mirror I feel (and look) a bit daft. The photo at the top of this page was actually an out-take, I was caught off guard, the cape had slipped; but it’s probably the best it’ll ever look.

As you can see here, it just makes me look a bit sheepish, self-conscious and as if I’m channelling cave-man chic. Which weirdly, just isn’t my go to look. Sorry.

The shoes on the other hand I adore. Dark teal suede, 1940’s style and a bow… a dream come true in shoe form. I got them from LK Bennet, though I don’t think I’ve ever properly worn them. Turns out LK Bennet are really generous with their sizing.

I feel like I should apologise for the quality of the photos on this post, especially the shoe photo. I can explain; things didn’t go quite to plan over the weekend so my gorgeous (and helpful) boyfriend offered to take some photos one evening during the week. What with work and other commitments, Tuesday was the only day we could do. So Tuesday evening I rang him up to ask what time he’d arrive to find out he had totally forgotten. Which meant he basically left work an hour early (after asking for overtime) to come take photos of my clothes.

When someone does that, you can’t really complain about the quality and ask them to start over can you? He also did a Vine for me. So if you’re on Vine let me know and I’ll follow you because I have NO IDEA what I’m doing on there and it would be nice to see what you guys are doing.

 Cape: No longer for sale. Don’t worry, you’re not missing much though.

Shoes: Out of stock (I really need to go shopping just so all these clothes aren’t mega old) but these are pretty similar.

 

 

Although it seems a long time ago, this outfit was the outfit I wore for Valentine’s Day. Me and the boyfriend headed out for a meal in the evening, so these photos were actually taken the following day. Looking back at them, I don’t think I did my make-up as well and the hair is true bed-head but we’ll just blame that on the wine, Ok?

As it was a bit nippy (hmmm that sounds a bit rude, given its a date night doesn’t it?) I wore a leather – cough, pleather, cough – biker jacket I got in a Topshop sale last year. It gave the outfit a bit more of an edge but I didn’t feature it in the post basically because I forgot all about it during the photo sensation. Talking of which, I should probably give the boyfriend a shout out since he got dragged out of bed to take these. So yeah, cheers Paul!

One of the aspect of this dress I love (other than the slits in the skirt – one at each side, though you can’t really see them in the photos) is the lace panneling. As well as the standard areas under the bust and on the back it has pannels at the side, as you can see in the above photo.

Being the classy fashionista I am, I don’t have a flashy designer bag to show you. The one above is actually a heat proof bag my GHD’s came in. I love the design of the lace though, and the size means you can fit more than just a lipstick in it. Plus its hard as nails, ya know… just in case anyone starts anything.

My legs are probably one of the body parts I am least confident about, so instead of a proper leg shot you can just have a glimpse of my ankle. I normally steer away from this style of shoe… being short with legs that are no way near as toned as they should be means that shoes that cut me off at this point tend to just pile on even more pounds. As if I’d need them. However these are the exception to the rule.

They are mega old, so old in fact I’m not even sure when I bought them. All I know is that I got them from Boundary Mill probably during a lunch break…. so anytime between 2009 and 2014. They are so comfortable it’s untrue, the ribbon ties make me feel like a lady and they went with the dress pretty well.

So there you have it!

I can’t find any links for this dress however I can tell you its Michelle Keegan for Lipsy. There are some similar dresses on ebay here.
