Thrift Inspiration, Vogue Style-The Skinny Belt

I was lucky to find this Mulberry tan skinny belt a few weeks ago in the Haven Hospice charity shop:

Skinny belts are still very much in trend and the most popular way of wearing them this season is over a winter coat, as you can see here by Chloe for their Winter collection:

Check out this article by Vogue on their take on wearing skinny belts, very inspirational for how the Designers are working this look this season.

I will definitely be wearing this belt with my cashmere camel coat and also my brown shearling jacket. Will you be wearing a skinny belt with your next outfit?

Thrift Inspiration, Halston Style

I finally watched Sex and the City 2 on DVD one evening last week and I just adored all the Halston Heritage dresses, here is their cocktail pleated dress:

Farfetch.com, £259

Of course, Carries purple one is just lovely and an ideal summer dress:

I was pleased to find this vintage Radley pleated cocktail dress, which is very similar to the Halston Heritage version above, my one is a midi length and has a gold rose detail to the hemline.

It was only £7 in the RSPCA charity shop and if I don't get much wear from it over the Christmas and New Year season, I will wear it a lot as a summer evening dress next year, so a very versatile buy and another piece of vintage, very Studio 54 inspired.

What style of dresses are inspiring you for Summer 2011?

My Christmas Day

Hi everyone!! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, we all had a fabulous day and were fortunate to receive some lovely presents too.

Amongst my gifts received was a tan leather handbag, Opium by YSL perfume gift set, Prada Amber perfume gift set and as you can see below, a black and white diamond half eternity ring, chosen by me from hubby as a timely Christmas present bought on Christmas Eve whilst out randomly buying last minute things for Christmas.

My Christmas outfit differed from what I had planned, I wore my newly thrifted Topshop black sweater with silver sequins, black leather skirt, lacy tights and leopardprint ballet pumps.

My gift from hubby, black and white diamond half eternity ring

Hubby prepared and made Christmas dinner, which was totally delicious!!

Thanks dear, he loves cooking so much but hates washing up, thats my job!!

So Christmas is over for another year, but it is a perfect time for eating too much, watching too much TV and DVDs and generally just chilling out with family and friends-only another 364 days to go, lol!!

Happy Christmas to You All

Best Wishes from Candy and MyStyle-Wishing you all a Fabulous Festive Christmas and hope Santa has brought you all those presents you wanted!!

Dressing For Christmas

Although I have lots in my wardrobe, I still felt like treating myself to a) something for Christmas and b) something in the sale.

On my travels this week, I managed to get this lovely unstructured velvet blazer, reduced from £49.99 to £20.00 from River Island-its also available online in black, beige, pink and red too:

Depending on my mood, I'll either wear it with my newly acquired vintage 80s Radley cocktail dress in black and gold, which I got this week at the RSPCA charity shop for £7, or some black leggings and a top.

What are you wearing for Christmas?
