CHRISTMAS PARTY OUTFIT - JOE BROWNS

Hi lovelies. I have put together a great outfit from the partywear selection at Joe Browns which I am hoping will give you some inspiration this festive season.

BAROQUE VELOUR DRESS

This rich blue shade with beautifully embroidered pale gold detailing is perfect for dinner, drinks and dancing too. The skirt shows the perfect amount of leg for modern modesty while the off the shoulder styling offers a little sexiness.

STUNNING EMBOSSED VELVET BOOTEES

I love pairing feminine dresses with ankle bootees and these velvet embossed ones have amazing style. They are a great height for dancing and will save you painting your toenails!

BEADED SHRUG

Why not go all out and add more sparkle with this limited edition hand-embellished sequin and beaded shrug.

PRETTY LACE CLUTCH BAG

This is a perfect size for those essentials ladies. Pretty lace and a charming bow are the perfect combination to accessorise this outfit. The chain is concealable too.

Why not share your favourite Joe Browns PARTYWEAR picks in the comments below.

Love to you all

HOUSE OF TRENDELLA WISH LIST

Hey everyone. It's almost the weekend so yay for that. After meeting loads of great brands recently at the BLOGGERS LOVE LFW GIFTING LOUNGE I of course checked them all out and discovered a great site that hosts lots of great brands and pieces all under one fashion roof. Welcome to HOUSE OF TRENDELLA.

HOT BASICS BLACK SWEATSHIRT WITH FLORAL EMBROIDERY PATTERN

Combing warmth and pretty floral features on a black background. A very different way of adding winter florals to your wardrobe with this great transitional piece. It kind of reminds me of the skull candy designs that I love too.

SUGARHILL BOUTIQUE UNICORN SWEATSHIRT

I don't actually own any unicorn items as yet which I am surprised at. I love this grown up take on the trend as most unicorn fashion I have seen is very bright and colourful. The dipped hem gives it that something more too. I would love layering this over a white shirt with jeans.

HOT BASICS GREEN SEQUIN OPEN BACK BODYCON DRESS

I saw this piece at the Bloggers Love event and fell in love with it instantly. The HOT site says it can be worn in many ways. It's great for those who want a 2 in 1 dress as it has a plunging v neck on the back. Shown above it's fab as there is so much sparkle, but for full on glamour I would reverse it adding a statement neck piece that doesn't come lower than the v.

HOT BASICS LOGO GALAXY SWEATSHIRT

One last casual piece for you. White is also a great colour to wear in winter I think as it reminds me of snowy scenes. I again do not own any galaxy print items. Where have I been? This is a nice way to wear the galaxy theme in a more relaxed way while sporting the House Of Trendella brand.

I hope you found at least one item here that you favour as much as I do. Don't forget that there are many other great pieces that you need to check out on HOUSE OF TRENDELLA!

CLOTHES FOR CAUSES LAUNCH

Hi everyone and Happy Sunday. I have an exciting post for you about a new store that opened yesterday aptly named 'Clothes For Causes'. This is a charity shop, but with a very modern and enticing atmosphere. With donations including a mixture of designer, high street and vintage fashion, home ware, toys and more this store is bursting at the seams with vibrancy. With a team that is more like a family ready to greet you and welcome you in your shopping experience will be one that you walk away happy from. Their stock rooms are literally overflowing so get down there and grab a bargain or few. Money raised goes towards helping local causes.

Shop owner Veronique served customers between cupcakes and bubbly.

Veronique also made all of these scented candles.

Fabulously cheeky decor.

Mirror mirror on the wall ........

Window shopping

Denim dreams

Beautiful storage

Metallic and lace embroidery trends done!

So cute

Happy shoppers

There was a photo booth at the shop opening which many customers and staff had fun with. This was my favourite photo with my Mum although I could not get her to look at the lens, ha ha.

This store can be found in Eltham High Street, SE9 (opposite Prezzo).

Opening times:

Mon - Sun, 10am - 6pm.

Other Clothes For Causes stores opening soon will be in East Dulwich, Forest Hill and Catford.

My Mum is a part of the team working in the Eltham store and her name is Irene. Let her know I sent you to the store when you see her :)
