It feels like ages since I blogged last and I guess it has been in comparison to when I was blogging several times a week. I needed to take some time out and concentrate on other aspects of my life. My son started high school this september and my little girl proper big school too. Big changes and some big tears…all mine I gotta add. Big mummy tears having to let go.. not too much-just a little. Anyway back to fashion and clothes and all things bloggy. I love this maxi dress. Bought it a few weeks from topshop. I’m definitely enjoying wearing skirts this season.. I’ve started adding a few to my wardrobe. This dress is especially one I like. Sheer panels and splits. Great for holidays. I’ve enjoyed wearing it here in Dubai. Perfect for strolling around the malls and dinners out. It’s been wonderful enjoying the late sun. If you been following me on here you’ll know that I have a fear of anything winter …yucky wet weather is a no no for me. Hope you’re all having a wonderful week..see you back here soon !!!! Dawn xx
Lots of beautiful ‘things‘ to wish for and drool over this christmas. If your still looking for a little gift inspo then try these few treats. There’s Make up, toiletries and everything else to make eyes light up. It’s difficult to buy so close to xmas when you know lots of it will be in the sales within a few days. Good ways to guarantee it won’t be in the sale is buying from the new season. Hopefully online shops give you the heads up by listing items as just that. The sales have started very early this year so you do have a good chance of getting a late bargain. I’ve listed lots of online shops below who have already gone into sale to give you a little head start. Happy shopping Dawn xx
I headed to London this past weekend to celebrate mine and my sisters birthday. We started with afternoon tea at the Corinthea hotel. Such a pretty place. A stones throw from downing street and the embankment, where buildings stand handsomely above the tiny people and streets below. You can’t help be a little impressed by our heritage, and by those who came before us to of given so much.
Inside the hotel was just as impressive, twinkling lights and delicate decorations are everywhere. A magnificent chandelier commandeers the main room where we sat for tea. Lots of lovely cakes and sandwiches served with glasses of champagne. How can you not love the grandeur of it all. Think I ate far too much and took several hours to recover before heading out for birthday drinks and dancing.
Another treat of the day was getting full makeup done at the Charlotte Tilbury counter in selfridges. I love her make-up and really wanted to try out some of the pieces I had read about. I wasn’t disappointed. Loved every product they used. You can see my look on instagram here. I bought a couple of pieces but will have to stop self gifting and hope santa brings me a few more next week.
I went with full length coat high heels and jeans for my outing. Doubled up on warmth with a poncho underneath and a lace cami for the finer details.
Love this silver foil t-shirt dress. It’s from the topshop collection with Kate Bosworth. Been meaning to post it up on here but things have been realLy busy lately at the boutique, and it’s only today, I’ve had the time to post about it.
A crisp shiny dress is perfect for brightening winter days. I’ve added a chunky knit to dress it down. The slouchy boots also give it a relaxed feel. doing it this way means I get to wear the dress for both day and night.
Hope you all had a fab weekend. As you can see the sun shone a little with me- unfortunately it hasn’t lasted and I’m back here on a wet monday morning.

I was recently talking about wearing bare legs in winter. I like the trend and as long as its not completely freezing it’s perfectly acceptable. It’s also fine if its teamed with something that covers you up- possibly a big coat thats oversized and fluffy. For me this peachy faux fur seemed the perfect solution. I wore it with this gorgeous floral alice + olivia mini skirt.It was love at first sight. It’s shiny luxe appeal drew me in insantly. An Extravagant addition to my winter wardrobe. I will also be wearing my skirts with tights and boots for deeper winter but for now I’ll take full advantage of glowing autumn days and brave it out in bare legs.
