Midi Dresses Are For All Year Round - NOT Just For Summer.

The weather is getting a little colder - depending on where in the word you are right now, you may have already packed away your sandals... but whatever you do, leave your midi dresses alone. They certainly do not need to be should not be stashed under your bed for the next six months. Whoever told you not to wear midi dresses in the winter was quite frankly, without trying to be rude - full of crap. 

So to prove my point that you can wear midi dresses come winter - I decided to make a couple of outfit ideas ... remember these are only a few suggestions. Layering works best when you play around with what you've got. Think like a kid when you dress yourself - to an extent: layering looks good when you throw a bunch of stuff together that have something in common - colour for example. 

These are my two favourite looks for Winter 2011. Just love the head wear! The dress is the same in both looks - and also just £11 in Primark!

Crochet Squares - Fashions Next BIG Thing.

Every season, there are a few designers who above all want strike the fashion front with a bit of frivolity - and although some collections may seem a little robust, they are never greeted with anything less  than a huge round of applause from the audiences that are sat on the edge of their seats throughout the show. Frivolous fashion was once ridiculed, now however the more 'outside the box' the better. Think of Lady Gaga for example... okay, so I would never get away with wearing half the things she does (probably because I have quite a few more lady lumps than she does) ... but although once ridiculed, she stuck to her guns and is now hailed in all her glory when it comes to best dressed in fashion events. Lets face it - people always remember her outfits... she does make an impact. 

This season, one of the many design houses who thought outside the box were those at the HOUSE OF HOLLAND. Its granted that his collection wont have been to everyone's taste, but I love it. I crotchet myself and have decided to make it my aim (much to my boyfriends dismay) to make myself a jumper / tube skirt or jacket to allow myself to become part of this edgy trend.

 

One of my favourite style icons of the moment - Nicola Roberts has recently been spotted in a HOUSE OF HOLLAND maxi dress - proving that crochet squares are not just for grannies! 

If you watch this video a few times... you too will see how easy it actually is, and will soon join me in getting your crochet freak - on.
