BLACK SEQUIN DRESS FROM AX PARIS

























With winter fast approaching, I've found myself daydreaming about oversized coats, wooly scarves, chunky boots, and party dresses! Autumn and winter are my favourite times to dress; I love the darker colours and bigger silhouettes, and I feel like the colder seasons allow you to get a little more glamorous on your evenings out to.... with winter come sequins!

AX Paris were kind enough to send me this sparkly little delight - be sure to head over to their website  to check out their party dress selection for yourself! I'm always a little dubious of sequined garments as most are badly made and start looking tatty really quickly, but I love the shape of this dress, the skirt is really voluminous and swishes when I walk.... maybe I'll wear it nearer to Christmas, it's very festive!       










































Dress: AX Paris (BUY ME)
Socks: Primark
Shoes: Kurt Geiger


Due to the dark evenings and bad weather, I'm afraid the quality of my images may decrease a little throughout winter, as I'm having to use my smaller camera and photograph my outfits inside with very poor lighting. I hope you don't mind, I will try to get nice, natural, outdoorsy shots for you when I can! (Oh, I know you've all seen my new Kurt Geiger shoes but I couldn't help but post another close up of them!)


























A quick update, my new job is going very well. I get given lots of interesting tasks to do on a daily basis like photo researching and cutting and sticking....amongst many other things! It's so fascinating seeing all of the work that goes into the final catalog - I'm learning so much and I feel so privileged to be working at Boden, they're such a lovely company!

I can finally see a bright future ahead of me now; I still have quite a few personal traits to work on, my lack of ability to communicate like a normal human being around new people for example, and my tendency to forget peoples names literally fives seconds after they've said it, but I see this job as my first step towards bigger, better things, and a HUGE opportunity.... exciting huh!? Despite all of these positives in my life right now however, I do wish that the trains and underground weren't so busy in the mornings!

  8. Your dress is soooo lovely! I definitely prefer autumn and winter in terms of colours, I'm just not one to really wear bright colours - I'd much rather wear their more muted friends ;) glad to hear the job's going well! x

  12. The dress is really amazing. Geez, love that its sequin, love that its poufy, and love the sheer illusion upper.

    The brogues works great, but I could never pull that off. Fab on you though.

  13. I'm not really a fan of sequins either on me they usually look tacky as but the shape of this dress and styling it with socks and the sequin shoes really works!
