Style Note: I recently went for a major shopping spree in the New Look store and picked up some more winter appropriate occasion wear. I really wanted to go with trousers & boots combos during the colder months and team them with some lovely tops.

This look felt festive and ticked the smart casual at its best. The metallic ankle boots make this look super on trend and fashionable, the leather look trousers keep it sexy and the casual top knot and hoop earrings together create a street wise but sassy fashionista image. Forgive me in advance as I have a feeling these boots are going to become a regular fixture on my blog! FYI I had soooo many compliments on my little hand held chain mini bag. New Looks bag collection is on “fire” lately, make sure you pop into store and check it out!

Style Note: Boohoo knocked it out the park recently with some of their more premiums additions in the run up to the festive season. This dress is the perfect shade of green (My fav colour by the way!) it’s also the perfect amount of sexy with a sheer panel across the cleavage and also the perfect length for making your legs (in my case extra short legs) look longer. The mix of textures make the dress look uber expensive too which is always a bonus when it retails for just £30.00. I paired this dress with an elegant plain black heel and a black tassel skinny Dip bag with gold chain.

Halloween Evil Queen….

Halloween for me is always a last minute dash to the party shop in Bromley where I generally proceed to have big ideas of what I want to go as (Insert this year’s big ideas of Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad), I then discover that everything in my size is out of stock and whatever is left is ridiculously expensive and not at all what I wanted.

Finally this year with more than enough notice on my side, I knew that I had a fancy dress party to attend so I decided to be uncharacteristically more organised.

Well kind of…. To be honest this consisted of me attempting to online shop an outfit one week before the party and relying heavily on my friend to look for my costume as well as her own Lol! But success was on the horizon when she order me a sexy skeleton catsuit and I also managed to order myself a sexy BeetleJuice costume. Then the worst happened… my supposedly size small BeetleJuice costume arrived and was so big that the corset entirely exposed my lady lumps and the leggings were subjecting me to serious baggy crotch… did i say sexy? I meant stupid!

But no problem I have a backup right? Ermmmm NOPE! I should be so lucky, on calling my friend for the emergency back up skeleton costume she then informs me that three other girls she know are going in the identical bloody costume! Hows my luck right?

So with less than 24 hours until the party I had to come up with another option pronto!

Luckily for me I had just received an order from BooHoo and within that order was a stunning emerald green velvet plunge neck maxi dress with thigh high split, the colour was suitable for halloween so at least I had a little something to work with. Next stop… I had to be some serious levels of make up inspiration if this thrown together costume was going to be any more impressive than me showing up in a bin liner.

There is only one woman to turn to for halloween make up inspo and that is the wonderfully talented Anna Lingis (http://www.annalingis.com/). I checked out her Instagram tutorials and photos and settled on one of her looks to imitate with my own green themed spin on it. As it turns out ‘Girl did good’ I had so many ladies at the party compliment me on my makeup and my dress and when people asked me what I had come as I winged it and said I was an evil green queen! No one batted an eyelid at that made up by Shanie character so I think I pulled it off!
