Fatshion Faceoff - Patent Shoes

Hello to my fabulous readers

So so sorry that this weeks fatshion faceoff post is a little late, on wednesday i thought it was still tuesday and they yesterday was just insane with one thing and another, so I thought I would show my favourite Patent Heels and also a fabulous dress from simply be as a treat.

I am including this one here as I have already posted a little sneak peek of how I wore it to work earlier in the week, and thought I would show how I would dress it up for a night on the town in my sexy shoes!

My shoes are a very old pair rom Dorothy Perkins that I bought for a Job interview, but they are fabulously comfortable!
The dress is from the Anna Scholz at Simply Be collection and is amazing!


This dress is such a vibrant colour, but as soon as I put it on I feel fabulous.

This is how happy the little pocket type section makes me!

All ready for a date with the husband!

Here is the picture from Instagram of me wearing it for work.

Sorry it is a bit grainy mirror shots are not the best :)



The shoes are no longer available at DP so here are a couple of pairs of patent one I am lusting after right now from Schuh



Now head on over and see the other gorgeous girls as they look stunning as always!!

Dea London Visit

Dea London is a designer office wear brand who will be coming to join us at Plus North, I recently had the pleasure of visiting there studio with Becky and Toni who are wearing an outfit designed by them and Dea during the day at Plus North.

The amazing Jelena, who is the designer behind Dea London, invited the girls and myself to the studio to do the fitting, it is based in a fabulous warren of a building which rents spaces to all sorts of creative types, I loved it in there!

I took lots of photos of her working with Becky and toni on there designs and measuring them up for the finished garments.

Enjoy.

Far more relaxed now :)

 The studio made me happy, I loved the sewing machines and the feel of the room, it makes me realise how much I want to learn to make clothes, I need to get myself booked onto some courses this september.

I loved this, I know thats silly, but when I manage to get my office sorted I am having a sewing desk, and I will be making myself one of these!

Also need to sort myself out an inspiration board

Trade press coverage

Sewing machines

Overlocker I think??? Just loved how it looked.

If you havent already seen the clothing Dea London offer head over to the website for the full range, below are a few of the items I loved!

If I am honest they are out of my current price range but I know some of my readers are in good well paid jobs and like to dress in fabulous clothing, I know i would definitely buy some items if I was working as I love how different and sexy they are!

This dress is amazing, the details are awesome, and I want it to be mine, you know when you find a dress/outfit, that you know you could rock would get you that job you really want, this dress is that for me, it feels beautiful and i just know i would feel amazing in it!




I love how it looks on the model.

I need this dress for my interviews!


This dress is also gorgeous in person, on the hanger it is easy to dismiss it, but on the model it looks fab again!


The next dress has a nifty little scarf feature which I love, you pop one around your neck and have an end peeking out of the pocket on the chest, I love the versatility of it, could change your scarf every week depending on mood! 

This is it on its own with out the scarf.


on the model.

I love the sexy sheep part of this dress, I would prefer the top to be more black than it is as the sheen isn't for me, but it love the shape and silhouette so much!

Thats just some of the items I love and the website has so much more to see, Jelena will be at Plus North asking for our opinions on her clothing and asking what we would like to see, so say hello while you are there.

A huge thank you again to Jelena for allowing me to gatecrash her fitting session and being so lovely! xx

I now need to find a fabulous job just to wear these gorgeous items, but first i need to save up for the first dress to guarantee I get the job!
