As you've seen, most of my looks tend to be either casual or dressed up. I don't work (as I'm a full time athlete and study part time), so I don't own many clothes that could be considered 'work attire'. But if I did, this is probably along the lines of how I'd dress. Forever New have some great dresses at the moment in prints similar to this one that are perfect if you're trying to steer away from black in your work wardrobe. They're relaxed and colourful, yet still professional for the workplace. Just be sure to wear simple accessories so you don't overdo it! 

Dresses like this are also perfect for daytime occasions that require getting more dressed up than usual. I wore this to a baptism and also to an event where I was a guest speaker. You can't really go wrong with a nice printed dress. While black is great and works for most of us, there is nothing wrong with injecting a bit of colour every now and then to keep things bright and interesting.

Samantha Wills: La Boheme Chasseresse

Samantha Wills' latest jewellery collection is yet another series of perfectly crafted bohemian inspired pieces. Samantha Wills is my favourite jewellery label and I love that each piece can be worn either on its own or layered with may others from the current or past collections. Here are my favourite lust-worthy pieces at the moment: 

Black, Gold & Brocade

Aje dress | Jess Rizzuti bag | Zu heels  

I haven't done an outfit post for a while but I'm back and this time collaborating with New York label Jess Rizzuti for a style post featuring this gorgeous mini baguette bag.

I've had a growing obsession with brocade lately and I can't get enough of all things in this pattern. I recently bought two pairs of J brand brocade jeans (on sale!), one in blue denim and one in gold denim. I can now add this beauty of a bag to my collection. It's perfect for adding some texture to a LBD for a night out. I'd use it during the day too because it would be a shame not to wear it as often as I could get away with.

The LBD is a wardrobe staple. My problem is that I have too many though! The laced sleeves and cut out make this dress unique and great when it comes to trans-seasonal dressing. 

Black and gold have been a frequent combination in my outfit choices these past few weeks. Something about wearing the two together is so elegant. Add to that romantic lace and soft silk details and you've got yourself a black and gold party. Heels are a given!
