I mentioned the other day that I had done my early Boxing Day shopping. As you know from my New Years Eve post my pre-Christmas purchase from ASOS.com have arrived. I thought you might like to see what I found so difficult to resist, although as everything was 75% off when I bought it, that alone would be hard to resist! These items and many more great things are still 50% if you were given some money for Christmas and are in need of a fashion fix.
Silver skirt for New Years Eve
New Years Eve Skirt: It looks pretty average here. Almost like a sheet of foil. Have a look at how I wore it to attend a New Years Eve party with some friends here. Promise it looks much nicer on!
Oxblood Sequined Bomber Jacket
Oxblood Sequined Bomber Jacket: You’ll definitely be seeing this styled and on when I attend the L’Oreal Fashion Festival in March. I’m not 100% sure how I will style it but I am sure that I will be wearing to one of the nights. Any thought from you all on how you would style it if you were heading to a fashion event?
Trench Coat – Dress
Trench Coat – Dress: Officially it is a trench coat. But in my mind it will be perfect as a coat dress when the weather cools. Then when it get really cold, I can layer it with a skirt, tights, top and boots. I have been looking for the perfect trench coat style dress and couldn’t find one. When I saw this one, I had to have it. Plus I love the metallic grey colour and the purple together. With a great pair of heels it will look very secret spy!
How gorgeous are these colours?!
I’ve changed my mind about the wedding
Evil Step-monster Dress: You may recall I found a great colour block dress when we were in Spain that I thought might be perfect for my eldest step-daughters summer wedding in February. However, this dress from ASOS.com was so beautiful I’m thinking it may be the one to wear. It’s VERY bod-con but would look fantastic with my navy satin heels. I just need to drop a couple kilos so I’m not so self-conscious in this dress! Otherwise, it’ll be the colour block dress. Such tough decisions! I guess I could get through the reception without eating…or drinking…or sitting…
There you have it. My pre-Christmas purchases from ASOS.com. What do you think? How would you style them?

Oh, what a fab skirt… you can get away with wearing that, right? 😉 .. would like to write to you later my outline and see what you think. I think it would be very cool to introduce you, as time goes by, as fashion vista from across the ocean !!

Wow, such amazing finds.
The oxblood sequinned top is my favourite, it’s a bit different to the classic silver, black and gold 🙂

That’s exactly why I had to have it Karen!
I loved that it wasn’t the standard black that I had seen a million times.
