Wearing: Meadham Kirchhoff X Topshop dress, vintage petticoat, DIY crown, Nicholas Kirkwood X Meadham Kirchhoff platform shoes.
Just when you thought the silly season had come to an end New Year's Eve rears its ugly head, and I say that as a pessimist and in protest of New Year's resolutions. Ringing in the New Year has never really appealed to me because I've never been invited to any awesome parties or had the opportunity to dress for the occasion. This year isn't any different but my mentality has changed entirely in that I no longer feel overdressed but am content to dress as a means of self-expression. I want the outside to reflect how I feel on the inside so a vibrant and colourful start to 2015 almost felt essential. I really wanted to wear a tacky party hat with this outfit but not only did I not have one on standby in my house I didn't have the right materials to make one either. So instead I'm wearing this DIY crown I made yonks ago but it doesn't feel the same. Someone should make me a party hat so this terrible tragedy doesn't ever happen OK?
Invaluable, are an online marketplace for rings and watches, antiques and collectibles who also ran a style campaign which I was apart of. The challenge was to create the ultimate party outfit inspired by one of their rings. Of course half the fun was scanning through their online catalog to find the perfect ring and source of inspiration for my outfit and I was not disappointed with their selection and wide variety of ring styles and price ranges. In the end I settled on a sparkly pink tourmaline, surrounded by diamonds in white gold. This outfit was also inspired in part by Molly Goddard's most recent collection but I think it is suitably party themed and I'm ready to ring in the New Year. See you all in 2015!
