Saturday night

Last Saturday we had to decamp to Bristol for a friends 40th birthday. Since I've been asked for more 'what I'm wearing' photos in my blog, here is what I wore to a bash in Ham Green Cricket club. It is another mirror in another bedroom and it was really hard to take a photo of my Topshop jumpsuit. It is asymmetrical, so I've taken the side with the sleeve which is ruffled. I added a tan skinny leather belt from Isabella Oliver and my Zara sale shoes. I've not done the best pose possible but I had had 2 glasses of wine prior to going, small ones I hasten to add. Due to our sitting and chatting I had 20 minutes to get ready to do hair, make up and get dressed.



I love a black and white print. It is my favourite combination and it no surprise that I feel utterly in love with this dress from Giles from his recent ready to wear A/W11 collection show. The addition of blush as an understated third element is 'genius' as they say.

  3. Loved the Giles collection!

    Am trying to work out whether I could get away with a monochrome long print frock and ripping a tight black t shirt to bits to use as an obi like Giles has?!

    I may have too much boobage for this look to work!

    Your jumpsuit looks great and I hope you had a fab time.

  9. Oh that's a gorgeous jumpsuit. I have a couple of lovely John Bates ones, which either need fixing or a kick up the bum for me to wear. It's going to be my mission for this year!!
