Post Christmas Glitz - Amy

Sequin Kimono c/o Motel Rocks, Topshop Velvet Fringe Tunic, Boohoo Wide Rim Hat, Primark Pink Fur Stole, Topshop Anchor Cut Put Boots

What's the best way to cheer up this dreary month? I know it's easy to want to hide away at home in old sweatshirts revelling in despair about tighter waist lines and suffering bank balances but injecting a little glitter into your January will leave you feeling goddam fabulous and this kimono is pretty much perfect for banishing both of those post-Christmas blues.

When the gorgeous people at Motel offered us a piece for the festive season, I was days away from giving birth so my usual go-to bodycon dress was a definite no-no, as I had no idea what state my tum would be in by the time I'd get around to wearing it so this incredible sequin kimono seemed the perfect option - all the show stopping glitz I needed for Christmas without being self conscious and if anything it was a distraction from what was underneath it! So if one too many cheese boards/mince pies/buckets of baileys were consumed, no one would ever know! Even better, this incredible piece is now half price over at Motelrocks.com

Velvet seemed perfect for mixing up the textures so this beautiful Topshop dress (also in the sale!) was an ideal match for an easily done, 'Wow' outfit. I finished off with a big rim hat and fur for a more sophisticated look.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas day and you are making the most of the leftovers and Christmas films on TV! With New Years fast approaching I hope you have got your glitzy going out pieces ready so I thought this was post was fitting for the lead up to new year.

Motel Rocks is everyone's first stop for sequin dresses and I am totally won over by this one! I usually steer clear of bodycon but love the Motel ones- they are such good quality and really sparkle! The long sleeves are great for winter and they can be really dressed up or down depending on your style. 

I wore mine with oversized studded leather which toughens the sequins up and my chunky holographic Argo boots. I went for a more dressed down look and opted for a black beanie and silver chain but this dress also looks great dressed up with heels and a clutch! 

Enjoy the rest of the Christmas festivities- eat, drink and be merry! 

Naomi's Week In Style

A well overdue week in style post from me, but one that's definitely worth the wait! At the moment I am heavily buying into anything textured and embellished ready for Christmas!! I can't believe it's just round the corner (I am so not ready!) maybe this post will help for Christmas Day or New Years outfits- I no I plan on looking like a human glitterball while eating my Christmas dinner this year!

1. Topshop Oriental Sequin Kimono

I brought the evening dress in this (as wore to the Company party) in a previous post and I absolutely LOVE the washed out Palm prints and sequin detailing! The kimono came in store earlier this week and I absolutely love it! Kimonos are great to throw on over an outfit and look great- they also look amazing with a big fur stole! 

2. Virgos Lounge Sequin Dress ASOS

I posted the maxi skirt in a previous week in style and I just absolutely love the heavy gold sequins which a perfect for the party season! This dress is super cute and I love the sexy little cut out detailing! A great Christmas piece for any girls wardrobe.

3. Rat & Boa Crochet Top

Anything Rat & Boa makes me drool- the detailing, the prints, the AMAZING models on the website! It makes me want everything! The only problem is you have to be super quick as it sells out so quickly. This top has been sold out for a while but I couldn't resist sharing it with you- let's hope it comes back online so we can spend our Christmas money on it! 

4. ASOS Mesh Insert Top 

A simple top with gorgeous mesh detailing that's great to team with high waisted shorts or a skirt for a night out! Accessorise with heavy or statement necklace and be good to go! 

5. ASOS Monochrome Fur Coat

How amazing is this coat of dreams! The unusual monochrome stripes and detailing is definitely the one to stand out from the crowd this winter! I just can't help but imagine it skating at Somerset House! 

6. Shoop Floor Whore Holographic Turban

If you have seen my Instagram recently you will have seen my latest obsession with my turban! I love them and do want one in every colour possible! I thought why not combine my love for turbans and holographicness and get this beauty from website Shoop Floor Whore. 

7. ASOS Fur Trim Jumper

I saw someone wear this at the ASOS Christmas party and fell in love with it! It's so cute and playful and perfect for the Christmas season with a little tartan skirt or trousers. It's also reduced so grab it while you can! 

8. Rat & Boa Leaopard Twin Set

Amazing leopard two piece from Rat & Boa which I can't wait to wear with a kimono and loads of jewellery! At £42 aswell this is cheap yet statement and perfect for all year round.

9. ASOS Headchain 

I love any type of head chain/ head wear and this one is perfect for Christmas wear! Team with a dress, kimono and fur for the ultimate Christmas style!

Naomi's Week In Style

Shopping around on Oxford street this week has been lethal! There is so much amazing product hitting down for Christmas that my wantlist could go on and on! Topshop has really stepped up with statement sparkly and embellished pieces and it makes me want it to be Christmas Day everyday! 

1. Topshop Silver Sequin Skirt

This is the perfect skirt to dress up or down. I think it will look amazing with a chunky knit jumper and a killer pair of boots for the day or fur and heels for night. Either way it's perfect to add some sparkle to the festive season.

2. Topshop Pink Fringe Dress

I brought the white white version of this a few years ago and have worn it lots. The pink is bang on trend and it looks great with a leather jacket over it. A simple dress with gorgeous texture and at £50 it's a style steal! 

3. Nasty Gal Black Fringe Cardigan 

Could I really have anymore texture in my wardrobe? YES!! Texture is more important than print this season so really layer up to create dramatic and head turning outfits.

4. Topshop Frill Bralet

This is gorgeous for the party season team it with a statement sequin, embellished or PVC skirt and fur coat, the perfect work Christmas party get up! 

5. Topshop Embellished Skirt

Another amazing skirt from Topshop and perfect for Christmas time. Again sequin trophy skirts are meant to be worn like style icon Alexa Chung with an oversized chunky knit perfect for that casual/dressy balance. 

6. Nasty Gal Fur Jacket

I'm a sucker for a coloured fur jacket, infact if I could have a wardrobe full of rainbow fur I would! This one is gorgeous and really unusual colours, you can always rely on Nasty Gal for unique pieces!

7. Topshop Layered Necklace

Statement necklace are great to throw on with a jumper and still sparkle. This is perfect being both edgy with the silver chains and sparkly with the diamonds. Nothing's better than diamonds and fur!

8. ASOS Fur Bag

Fur bags are all over the high street at the moment, head to River Island and Topshop for a good variety. Although ASOS won over my heart with this quirky, bright fluffy bag which if perfect to add a statement and some fun to any winter outfit. 

9. ASOS Cracked Effect Top

I think this is such a great piece and it looks so high end! At £35 it's a definite investment piece, oh ASOS you do spoil us with your wonderful product! 

Amy's Week In Style (36 Weeks)

Today was my second baby shower (spoilt!) - a 'sophisticated' brunch in Henley with all things pink to celebrate the imminent arrival of baby girl, so it made sense to have a wishlist to fit the theme!  

Zara Houndstooth Coat

Houndstooth is one of my favourite patterns for AW and to me, the bigger and bolder the better! Favourite pattern in favourite style of coat combined? A gorgeous classic investment yet statement too

Asos Pink Fur Stole

I really want a candy coloured fur stole this winter and the colour and shape of this is perfect

Topshop Boutique Monochrome Sweat

The ever growing boutique wishlist continues - so easy to wear and looks so sleek yet cuddly for the colder months

Topshop Pyjama Style Playsuit

It's been a long time since I've set sights on an item and fallen completely in love with it! I love the colour, the silk detail, the shape.. Just everything. Might have to be a post baby treat!

Topshop Pink Sequin Crop

Holiday season is well and truly approaching - I'd love to say I'd be wearing this out with a high waisted, black PVC pencil skirt and chunky knit cardigan

Cos Sheer Front Dress

A t-shirt dress from cos? It's no surprise this has made it onto my wishlist! But the sheer detailing and pink sneaking through is a more grow up take on my favourite shape

Topshop Mixed Textured Jumper

A little different to your usual winter jumper but equally as versatile!

Topshop Striped Crop Top

It's always good to stock up on basics and the darker stripes make this perfect for layering 

Amy's Week In Style (35 Weeks)

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last couple of weeks! Whilst Naomi's been tanning herself in The Gambia I have been finishing work, packing up my London life and have moved back to the cosy retreats of rural Oxfordshire to nest before the little one arrives! Once we're both back in the same country, expect some amazing new trends and of course my favourite, festive fashion :) to kick start that, here's what I have been lusting after this week! 

Topshop Check Coat 

I mentioned this beauty in the last WIS post and I hope it's been worth the wait! I am still even more in love with this coat and will definitely be clashing other checks underneath it. The tweedy texture makes this jacket even more wonderful and perfect to wear out on chilly shopping trips, being flatteringly lightweight and easy to layer with cute collars and thick knits

Boohoo Clarey Sequin Dress

Have you seen Boohoo's #dressmas campaign yet? We were gutted to not be at the event last week but it hasn't stopped us lusting after all the stunning and affordable party wear thats launched on site! It's never too early to start searching for that perfect dress and why not buy one for each occasion when they are only £20 or so?! This show stopping t-shirt dress is definitely my fave but there is literally something for everyone :) 

Topshop Berry Crepe Shirt Dress

Oh, sometimes I hate myself for buying into items that literally everyone has but there's obviously a reason the whole world wants one of these crepe t-shirt dresses and I've finally given in and accepted i want one too! These come in every colour from black to acid yellow but this berry coloured one is perfectly sophisticated enough for a coffee or dinner out before adding jazzy tights and heeled boots for a night out on the town! I can't stop wearing mine already!

Topshop Velvet Lips

Topshop's latest make up collection 'the damned' fits in perfectly with my make up preferences and I cannot wait to try some of the new products and colours, this being at the top of the list as I've heard amazing things! 

Topshop Neoprene Holdall

A sleek and less obvious take on the sportier side of fashion, this bag seems perfect to carry all those presents you'll be buying in, and still have room for some 'to me, from me' gifts too

Topshop Tartan Gloves

I love these (surprised?) but now I've committed to a check berry coat, these red tartan gloves are so wrong! It doesn't stop me gazing at them though, I need to get over this tartan addiction!

Topshop Anny Boots

A combination of my favourite Chelsea boots and Astrix boots, these bargain beauties (£42!!!) would be perfect for when I can wear heels again! And are most definitely at the top of my Santa List :)

All That Glitters - Amy

Primark Sequin Jumper, Topshop Sequin Blouse, Primark Tube Skirt, Topshop Glitter Ankle Socks, Topshop Artist Velvet Lace Up Boot 

Mid autumn - dark mornings, dark evening, glitzy wardrobe. It's always this time of year where we start to see the festive sparkle start to hit the high street and what better than a sequin or two to lighten up your life 

It is however getting colder so it seemed perfect to get my glitz out in the form of knitwear and layering. This bargain jumper from primarni is the perfect autumn item without feeling too festive too early and mixing this stunning sequin collar and cuff blouse with a knit makes it feel a lot less dressy 

I matched the purple skirt with the colours of sequin on the jumper, the same with the blue in the shoes but the velvet adds that extra little bit of rich texture. I finished off with some little glittery ankle socks
