little black dress

Had a successful shopping day! One of my finds was this plain jersey dress from French Connection. I really like the cut, which is very simple and minimalistic. The slight shoulder padding works great for my petite shoulders and the keyhole button fastening at the back is a nice subtle detail to the dress! I can see this piece being very versatile and worn over and over in so many different ways.

the 4 inch voluptuous heel

Wore these Boutique 9 Meredith heels from Nine West to my sister's birthday party last night. Love the thick heel, the simple shoe shape is pure elegance. Wore this with a full black ensemble; black high waisted silk pants, a suede belt and a plain shirt. Remarkably, they are incredibly comfortable and I managed to wear them all night without an ache or a whine!

This is what was in the bag.

A new addition to my shoe collection are these simple suede Stepout heels in taupe from Nine West. A great simple and comfy pair of shoes that I can use for work.

Some inspiring pictures for the next season.  I know it's hard to even imagine having bare legs when the weather is this cold right now.  This spring, again, we're seeing a lot of bright colour blocking and bold pieces.  My favourite piece, the YSL clutch!
