The Races

Finally, I have the pictures from the races to share with you. The dress I am wearing is from Zara. I decided on this dress mainly due to the colour and the cut around the arms, which is the same front and back. Although I tend not to stick to rules when it comes to what you should, and shouldn't wear, because this was a more formal event I thought I would wear a higher neckline. To accessorize, I wore just a simple necklace, gold watch and my Raybans. The clutch is also from Zara, I chose this to add some contrast in colour and texture with bright yellow and snakeskin. Finally, my shoes are simple black heels from Kurt Geiger. I decided against a hat for two reasons; 1. I didn't want to wear a hat (probably the best reason) and 2. It wasn't ladies day, so you aren't technically obliged to wear one. I feel very grown up in this outfit and it made me feel very womanly as it created curves with the cut. When I bought the dress I was a bit saddened by the fact that there is going to be very few places I will be able to wear it. However, due to the cut I think I'm going to try and style it with a military jacket and some ankle boots and see if that works (I will keep you posted). I'm going to the new Leeds Topshop tomorrow to visit their new flagship store... god help my bank balance :P.
P.S The girl in the pictures with me is one of my besties, Stacey, her dress is from Topshop and comes in loads of colours. I think the colour she has chosen looks amazing with her red hair. 
Enjoy you weekends and the pics.

White & Wooden

I annoy myself sometimes, my poses are very wooden. I'm just left with no choice most of the time, as I take all the pictures myself! Unless my tripod springs arms, legs and suddenly starts requesting I call it Mario Testino, they are going to have to do for now! Sorry guys:(. If you blog, is this a problem you encounter? On a more positive note, it's Friday and its Paris Fashion week (my favourite) With instagram, I really feel like I am in the front row! Tomorrow I'm going to be at the races, which is exciting as it is my first time. Luckily, my friend had the foresight to book a box! Flash floods and heels don't mix!! I will try and take as many pictures as I can or bore my poor friends and ask them to take pictures of me (egotistical). 
Are you doing anything fun this weekend?

Enjoy the pics
