Winter White (& #Passion4Fashion linkup!)

 I am really loving whites, creams and camel colours this winter. Usually by this time in the festive season i am all about the reds and tartans, but taking a small break from everything christmas decoration coloured and trying out some winter nuetrals.
I had my eye on this dress for weeks and finally caved and bought it for myself as a birthday treat at the beginning of the month. I've worn it every week since as its just so damn comfy. good news is its gone on sale, which is a definte bummer for me seeing as i paid full bloomin' price! But hey, i've enjoyed it and will continue to do so.
A good day dress in winter is one of my favourite pieces to style. The creamy hue of this fine knit dress will lend itself well to so many other colours which in my remixing book makes it a great piece regardless of price (justification for myself right there..) I love the contrast of the white and black but i may have some rather lovely tan boots for Christmas that would work equally well and and chunky brown cardigan also.

In other news.. how do you like my rather snazzy, simplistic new blog design?
I love it! Its simple, clean and exactly what i was looking for (thanks Catherine for the recommendation sweetie!) If you scroll to the bottom my IG feed is there, which i love, plus a new shop link at the top which will take you to Yosa.
It also has social share buttons at the bottom of each post, which i had been asked for by some lovely readers. i am now fully shareable and all my Youtube/IG/FB icons are just to the left, you know.. just in-case you loose me.. Plenty of places you can now find me :D

So yes. Nearly a new year, and a lovely new fresh blog design. Happy days!

Knitted Dresses (A girls best friend in winter)

Ladies, knit dresses are a girls best friend for winter. Well they're most certainly this girls best friend. But honestly, i can't recommend them enough.
So easy to wear and cosy and warm. like you've just rolled yourself in your duvet and called it an outfit.
I picked this khaki number up in Primark last week and its just the easiest thing to throw on and go.
Because of the length and its actually quite thick( for Primark)  i didn't wear tights, just some nice thick socks and my gorgeous new Steve Madden Biker Boots from Cloggs (which i looovvee by the way, be prepared to see them a whole lot, they're just perfect for going from dog walks to lunch to the school run!), meant i was toasty warm all day.
I was a little unsure about how clingy and figure hugging it would be on, which isn't really my thing- too many lumps and bumps need hiding.
If you're like me and like to hide a multitude of sins under your clothes (food babies, love handles, non-exercised limbs, you get the point) my advice regarding knit dresses is go for a chunky knit. The fine knit close fit dresses can be... well, clingy.
For me the chunkier knit the better the fit.

There are some fantastic options on the market this season, ranging in lengths and a plethora of gorgeous hues.  I'm in love with this one, colour, shape and length look fantastic.

I've been doing some knit dress research:
Take a gander at some of the most wonderful knitted dresses on the market:

I styled mine the simplest but most effective way i knew: Biker jacket, simple jewellery and a dash of leopard print! My favourite!

Speaking of leopard print, these Awesome leopard print bags are now on sale in the store here. I think i've found the perfect size leopard print bag. Plenty big enough for all my crap i carry around each day but can also be an oversized clutch too for a night out. 

Multifunctional bags are quite simply, the best. I have a real thing for nice handbags this year and this is going up there in my top 3!
