Santa Baby... Please Bring These Two Beauties To Me...

Santa Baby....
Santa Baby.... 

At first glance this probably looks like the worst effort at an outfit post ever.  In fact its simply my two biggest lust have items for Christmas in a last effort attempt to check if a) Mr Puggy (or Santa) read my blog and b) if they do whether they would buy me a dress that costs over a a thousand dollars....

I have an obsession with Issa - which is where this gown is from.  Their garments are exquisite, 100% silk and oh so flattering.  And I am in love with this gown.  And admit it, she really does not need anything else other than a lovely clutch.

The Jimmy Choos are a genuine investment piece.  Nude pumps in a sensible heel height of high quality really are worth the price tag.  So Santa Baby, how about you leave these under the tree for me?

So I ended up with mostly imports in this outfit - whoops.  The good news is Accessorize/Monsoon are doing free worldwide shipping at the moment, ASOS always does and Miss Selfridge is free shipping when you spend over 60 quid.  By the way, does anyone know how to do the pound sign in blogger?  I have NFI, which is why I said quid instead...

Remember Me?  The Alannah Hill Hairbow also featured in Christmas with Alannah.

Jewel of The Eighties

Jewel Of The Eighties

This outfit takes some inspiration from the eighties without being terrifying!  Black leggings, tunics and flats with the gold jewellery make for a distinctly retro yet sophisticated (and comfortable) look.  The pièce de résistance?  The gorgeous purple quilted bag that I beleive I need to own!  

Oh and yes I am well aware its over 35 degrees today.  This is my way of rebelling against summer!

Featuring (price low to high):

Investment Piece: Yes they are pricey, but fabulous footless tights are a bit of a staple in my world and well worth the price!

I don't pretend to absolutely love every outfit I create.  I like to challenge myself and try to put together things that I would generally not be drawn to.  This outfit however is oh so me to the point I am seriously considering buying at least the dress and the cardigan.  And probably the bag and shoes as well to be honest!

Featuring (price low to high):

Remember Me?  The Florsheim Pumps have been featured previously here and here.

Budget Buys: Pretty in Pink/Nice in Navy

Budget Buys: Pretty In Pink and Nice in Navy

Budget Buys: Pretty In Pink and Nice in Navy

Excuse the sickly sweet name, but the good thing is this little set features equally as sweet prices with nothing breaking the $25.00 barrier.  I have just discovered the Max Range by Coles - which apparently makes me about three years behind the rest of the world.  Regardless, the prices are great so I made yet another budget buy post!

Featuring (price low to high):

Remember Me?  The Hudson Barrel Bag was also featured in this post.

One Store Shopping: Christmas With Alannah

Christmas With Alannah

Christmas With Alannah

This is without a doubt a bit of a cheat outfit, but then the green and red are super Christmasy and its very clear I am a big Alannah Hill fan by reading either of my blogs.  Put it this way, I would wear and rock this outfit!  With the polka dots and two bold colours, well it does not need much more than a pair of festive earrings!

Featuring (price low to high):

All items available from Alannah Hill.

Budget Buys: Corporate Cheap

Budget Buys: Corporate Cheap

Dressing 9 - 5 appropriate depends a lot on your workplace, and also on your budget.  This little ensemble might not be appropriate for all workplaces, but the price is right at less than $20.00 a piece!  Some of these items are on sale, all were available when I created the outfit, no promises as to their continued availability!  

Featuring (price low to high):

What I Own - the midi skirt (in another colour), a thin fabric but a good staple (with heels if you are under 5'3" is a necessity!)  And the ruched tee in about three colours, mostly for casual wear.
