Jewelled Collar / Embellished Pencil Skirt - Obligatory Snow Post!

Hello all! 

I'm currently trapped inside due to the heavy snow and feeling like a caged animal. Unable to get to work or even leave the house in any sensible capacity (walking the poodle parade in the snow doesn't count.) I feel that perhaps I'm becoming an ill-tempered old grump, as this is the first year that the prospect (and consequent arrival) of snow has not excited me in the least. 

The only thing I can say for it, is that it makes for quite atmospheric pictures, but only when it's more of a romantic sprinkling than a blizzard. So, I thought I'd make the most of my house-boundedness by photographing this beautiful Dahlia shirt with it's jewelled, icicle-esque collar detail whilst the snow was still falling (and before it turns into horrible grey slush!)

Hello all!

I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas & New Year! As you can tell (and I do apologise for my longer-than-usual absence) I took the last 12 days or so to celebrate and spend time with friends and family. 

I feel like I've returned from a truly happy 12 days with quite a depressing, despondent colour palette - so I'd like to make sure you all know I am not trying to reflect any repressed emotions with my recent monocrhomical (is that a word?) outfits - I'm still as jolly as ever, despite this being a pointy white collar that Wednesday Addams or Karl Lagerfeld would be proud of. 

In regards to this outfit, I'm definitely developing quite a fetish for mixing velvet with almost anything, so when I spotted these black, manishly-tapered velvet trousers in Zara on my birthday I was sure they would go with a multitude of my pre-existing outfits. 

Finally, please share some links with me to any outfits you have been wearing over the festive season, I would absolutely love to see! 

 (and if you laughed at the word 'fetish' I am ashamed of you but secretly I laughed too.)
