tweed? well I say

I always need to look my best for work; Laura Ashley has a reputation and a standard that I must make sure I rise to. But when it's absolutely bitter outside and the front doors keeps opening as customers file in, all I really want to wear is my onesie, my mittens, and maybe my duvet.
But I can't, and I doubt you can either, so here's how I work around it. 
However, if you can then please tell us all what job you do and how we can get it because if I could just stroll into work wrapped in my duvet I would be one happy lady. 

Jumper - Laura Ashley £70

Pencil skirt - Laura Ashley £65

I'll say it before and I'll say it again - pencil skirts are fantastic. Every girl looks crazy hot in one regardless of shape, they're perfect for a night out, dinner, brunch, shopping and work. I know jumpers can often be lumped in the 'casual' section of fashion, but I think if you can find a really beautiful, good quality jumper then there's nothing wrong with teaming it with a pair of heels for an occasion where casual definitely isn't on the dress code. I wear these both together with my favourite heeled boots and I'm ready for a day filled with styling at the dressing rooms and climbing up ladders to get that duck egg blue roll of wallpaper.

Add a bit of lipstick to brighten up the outfit and you're all good to go!

It's coming to that time of year again where I dream of the day I will be filthy rich and able to buy myself and others expensive gifts to let them know I appreciate them (and myself). 
But until then I can only look at pretty pictures of what I'd kill to get my hands on this year. If any of you are feeling kind I can give you my address so you can send it my way. Thank you.

Three Floor - £128

This, for me, is the most perfect dress for this time of year. The colours are what you see every Autumn/Winter - those deep purples and gorgeous burgundies, and would be beautiful for New Years celebrations. Teamed with a pair of black velvet heels, a simple black clutch, a quick swipe of a dark lipstick and you have yourself the most glamorous look anyone will have ever laid eyes on. 

Alexander McQueen - £150

I'm sure if you're a regular reader you'll known by now that I love all things skulls, so that obviously means I'm in love with all things McQueen - and this ring is no exception. It's such a simple way to add life and edge to a dull outfit. Especially for me as I tend to wear a lot of simple, dark outfits, so any accessory like this will do it me world of wonders. I'm not a huge fan of wearing a lot of jewelry all at once, which is why this ring is a good choice; it's quite a statement so I don't need to fuss over anything else.

Marc by Marc Jacbs - £279

I love all things rose gold. All things. I already have a plain, chunky rose gold watch which I wear every single day and couldn't possibly live without it. But it's always fantastic to have two watches. For those days that I feel I'd like to just change things up a little. I may not want to wear a plain rose gold watch, I may want to wear chunky grey watch with the most gorgeous rose gold detailing. I am dribbling whilst typing this; it is so perf. 

What would you KILL for this year?!
