Red dress

Tuesday’s work outfit. A tomato red dress, gold-heeled leopard print boots and a leather biker jacket are brave choices for a financial services institution but I think I got away with it. *checks mailbox for P45*

Floaty

Love this floaty summer dress from Zara. Wouldn’t wear it in the UK but would wear it loads on holiday:

Raincoat

This raincoat purchase from a couple of weeks back has been justified by yet another wet weekend. I really like the classic cut and colour of the coat:

My memory isn’t what it used to be but I’m pretty sure there should be a few months between April and September when a coat isn’t a necessity. :S

Coat: Topshop / Jeans: Cheap Monday @ Urban Outfitters / Boots: Dune

Gold leaf

I made this jacket myself out of black cotton and gold Quality Street wrappers*:

*The jacket’s actually from Zara.

Leather jacket rediscovered

I’ve been so in love with my biker jacket lately that I’d almost forgotten about this collarless leather jacket from Zara. It’s definitely a more office friendly style than the biker (badass marketer vibe):

Heart matters

Weddings can cost an absolute fortune and in many ways it seems crazy to spend a lot of money on a dress that will (hopefully!) only be worn once.

Good news then that the British Heart Foundation have launched a collection of new and nearly new designer wedding gowns and bridesmaids’ dresses in both vintage and modern styles.

The collection will be available to view and purchase on Saturday 25th May and Sunday 26th May at The Corn Exchange, High Street, Peebles. You can also arrange a dress fitting at an alternative time by calling Karen or Susan at the Peebles BHF store on 01721 723751.

Favourite dress

The National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh is currently showing an exhibition about Annie Lennox. They’ve got a few of her most famous outfits on display. My favourite is the sequin and tulle dress she wore to perform with David Bowie at the Concert for Life Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992.

A mix of gothic and glam. This to me is the perfect dress.
