Suit Up.


If you watch How I Met Your Mother, you'll get the title of my post. Anyway here is what I wore last weekend to the wedding reception that gave me the worst hangover of my life.

Despite my love of fashion and makeup I am far from a girly girl, I would rather go watch a football match or do some sort of climbing activity than spend a day at a spa, so when it comes to weddings or formal events I sometimes find choosing an outfit hard as I don't particularly like wearing "girly" or "pretty" dresses, I would much rather wear something trendy with an element of sexiness.

Once again this isn't the greatest photo, it was very dark outside, I was using my iPhone and we was rushing to leave, but I love this outfit and got so many compliments on how nice and different it was that I of course wanted to share it with you all.

I was so comfortable in these trousers the other week I decided I wanted to wear them again, then I thought to my self why not make it a suit, so out came my trusty Primark blazer. Now that's two dark pieces of clothing that are both loose fitted so I needed to add something bright and what is brighter than white. Also the top needed to be tight in order to give me some shape, so I got out this lovely little Miss Selfridges racer back crop top. Now, I don't usually wear crop tops unless I'm wearing them with something high waisted, luckily these trousers are fairly high waisted and the crop top is rather long.

I glammed up my top with this gorgeous statement necklace from Primark that adds a nice touch of sparkle to my outfit, plus the grey colours work brilliantly with the black and white.

Keeping with the monochrome theme I chose to wear my white Carvella block heeled sandals to keep my outfit from looking to officey and my white Stressed But Well Dressed Zara clutch.

Lights. Camera. Dresses.


Freddie Wears: ASOS Suit & Tie.
I Wear: TFNC Dress & ASOS Shoes.

The party season may be over but that can mean only one thing, it's nearly wedding season and if you're like me you'll already be on the search for that perfect day to evening dress. Plus you'll be after getting the best snaps of you looking hot to trot, and of course the beautiful bride.

When I started this blog there were a few reasons behind my decision to do so, my love for writing, my ever growing list of hobbies and of course the fact I love all things fashion and photography, so my friends glamorous birthday bash gave me the perfect opportunity to write about both of these. 

So first of all a little bit about my camera, the Samsung DV150F. With dual LCD screens, perfect for selfies, this pocket size camera is great for taking with you to any occasion, no matter how small the clutch bag! I love the fact it has wifi, meaning I can upload my pictures to fb at the touch of a button, you can also activate multishare so that any snaps you take go straight to your phone. The photo quality is great and so is the zoom, the only downside to this camera is that when it comes to taking photos in dull or dark lighting it can be a bit temperamental if the flash in inactive, something which I must say I have experienced with a lot of cameras. Now I don't want to bore you with all the specs, half of which I don't understand, so if you would like to read more about this camera here is a link to PCmag. However, I think there review is a bit harsh.

Time for the fashion. For this Hollywood themed night I bought this gorgeous Grecian style TFNC Dress from Topshop. The style of the dress shows off just the right amount of flesh and the wrap allows for a bit of over indulgence on the party food, which after this Christmas and New Year I definitely needed. The beading and fabric on this dress is simply stunning but be warned, due to the style, on some photos this dress may make your bum look huge as it did mine! 

Now for me, an all day wedding requires an elegant yet fun dress to take you from day to night, something that I think this particular dress does well. The length, colour and beading keeps it all very classy and sophisticated but the split gives it that element of sexiness and fun.

Finding the perfect dress is no easy job so I thought I'd start it off for you.

Fitted Dresses.


Floaty Dresses.


Wrap & Peplum Waist Dresses.




Those are just a few of my favourites.. I hope you like them.
