Sheer & Black.

Sheer black maxi: H&M (Similar).  Textured crop: New Look.  Textured midi skater skirt: Topshop (Similar).  Lilac satchel: New Look.  Cut-out lace up heels: New Look, Sold out (Similar) and (Similar).

There's something about an all black outfit that makes you feel like you're rather sassy indeed.

I saw this sheer maxi in H&M and it pretty much had my name on it. It's a lovely lightweight shirt, which would be perfect for a night out or even as a cover up on holiday. As i'm not blessed in the height department, it's a tad too long, but once I throw on some heels, we're good to go!

The current cut-out/lace-up shoes are the shoes of the season and they are dreamy indeed. 

Are you a fan, or are you a fan? I love them!

Valentines.

Faux fur scarf:  Missguided.  Jumper: Tu Sainsbury's.  Culottes: eBay.  Heels: Dorothy Perkins.

Culottes,

Glitter,

Faux Fur

and

Polka-dots.

In no particular order.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Summer, come at me!

Dress - Primark.  Scarf - eBay. Tights - Primark.  Shoes - Shellys Rangers.  

So, whose bored of this brutally cold weather? You are as well, thought so!

This weather is totally pants, however, I have a theory that i'm going to share with you.. I believe that if we start to dress 'summery' then the sun will have no choice but to float into the sky. 

Now, I know this theory is practically impossible, but hey, indulge me!

The summer child in me has always had a love for colour and there are a couple of combos that make me weak at the knees.. Black and white, chocolate and tan, yellow and green!

I feel as if this floaty floral number was simply made to be paired with yellow accesories. I heart yellow. This outfit makes a lovely daytime look, but for an evening, I would simply swap the shoes for heels and the scarf for a mustard clutch.

What's your fave colour combinations?

Tweeds.

Coat: Topshop.  Swing Dress: Missguided.  Horse necklace: ASOS.  Mules: New Look.

I've been attempting to de-clutter my wardrobe and in doing so, came across this little beaut of a coat. It's a Topshop number that I bought from eBay a while ago and at a steal of a price (you'll get to know that I have a keen eye for bargains!).

I decided to shoot this outfit in the garden when I saw the sun peeking out.. Forgetting momentarily that it was winter, hello pale, ever-so slightly blue legs. Didn't take me long to realise that perhaps a pair of trusty black tights and boots, might have to be the order of the day! 

That coat.

Can we just ignore the gap on my top.. Clearly trying to be sassy.

Ralphy likes to get involved.

Coat: H&M.  Shirt: H&M.  Jeans: New Look.  Necklace: River Island.  Sandals: Florence & Fred. (Tesco).

I'm sure many would have seen this coat on the blogging scene previously. An absolute treat from H&M which sold out (probably thanks to the price of £24.99.. *happy face*). Oversized, simple and classic.. What more could you want from a coat? As soon as I clocked this beaut I thought 'You're coming home with me!'.

The lining is a gorgeous light finish which adds a delightful detail.

Coats have recently become 'my thing' and due to the colour, this number can be paired with pretty much anything. And so that is what I do!

Hey girl hey.

Well hello there, my name is Vanessa Sarah Dione James (mouthful, I know!) and here is my little corner of the inter webs. This is a fashion and lifestyle blog littered with my ramblings.

Bit about me you ask? Well..

I am a fashion obsessive with a slight (liar) BIG spending addiction. I'm also a foodie (mmm.. What's for dinner?!), music lover and partial to a bit of trashy television (Admit it, so are you!). The love of my life is my chocolate and tan chihuahua.. Ralph Oakley Emerson James (I have four names, so it was only fair he did to) and i'm sure he'll crop up in a few posts. I will try to limit my endless rants about how amazing he is though, don't worry.

I look forward to embracing the blogging community wholeheartedly and hopefully (for once) sticking with something!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Oh, and this is me..
