Laced Up


At the matchbox height of 5ft 1’’ I have never really ventured into the world of midi length skirts and dresses, I had this misconception I would look even shorter, but after wearing that Aztec midi in Spain I loved the way it complimented my shape, with a little heel I realised I didn’t look as short as I imagined I would. I wore this lace and leopard combo in the city on the weekend; we went to go see Stomp (hands down the best theatrical performance I have seen in London).
I very rarely wear white (mainly because I can never keep it clean) but this midi was one of my exceptions, beautiful lace in a classic cut. The cropped top lace is much finer, very fitted with a sheer back panel; I really liked the scalloped edge on the waistline too.
I do love a monochrome outfit and the automatic chicness it exudes, I would love to have the dedication to narrow my wardrobe down to black white and grey but I’m too fickle the second I see a vibrant colour I’m drawn to it. Maybe I can work towards a monochrome wardrobe with accent colours. That sound like a happy medium I can commit to!

Customising a classic

After seeing the new Mango DIY competition, I decided to raid my craft supplies and see what I could whip up. I love customising; making something personal and unique.

1) I always like to keep my options open, so having a variety of different gems and sequins is a bonus. Have a little play around with your design and see what arrangement works best.

2) Copydex is a very strong craft adhesive, ideal for securing the larger gems. Apply a small amount to the back and place onto garment where desired, hold for 30 seconds to make sure it is pressed on firmly.

3) After attaching the gems I decided to break up the pink and stitched on an outline with blue sequins. Tie up any loose ends on the reverse side and et voila – customising a classic is complete.
