What We Would Wear Tuesday

This weeks' addition of What We Would Wear is a definite dream outfit....the only feasible item aside from the Lindsey Fascinator is the Topshop bed jacket...this is actually much more glamorous in real life (you'd think an institution like Topshop would hire good photographers, wouldn't you...) and as I got paid a little extra for the wedding I photographed at the weekend, I might just have to add this to my wardrobe. I absolutely love the idea of a bed jacket, especially when its' rocked up with some Current/Elliot jeans and an Alexander McQueen skull clutch, and this is just the perfect one, I can see it becoming a real wardrobe staple that will transcend seasons. It will take me right through autumn winter, and is in my opion quite reasonable for Topshop at £35.

The Lindsey fascinator I featured at the weekend...but didn't get to wear it! Sob! I was struck down with a nasty tummy bug (or concussion....who knows!) on Sunday and thus had to miss out on the leaving party. If my bank account was endless, I would definitely be buying myself the above outfit to make up for it.

I'm actually waiting on the components for a headband version of the Lindsey fascinator, so watch this space!

I've got that Friday Feeling

This coming weekend is a particularly exciting one for me, so I thought I'd show you a couple of the outfits I'll be wearing. On Saturday a dear friend of mine is getting married, and I am incredibly honoured to be photographing the occasion. I'm also a little scared truth told, as it'll be the first wedding I've ever photographed and it seems an awful lot of trust to have in me! As I'm also a guest, I've been planning my outfit since, about forever, and actually made this Floral Fascinator especially for the occasion. The dress is from ASOS, and is unfortunately no longer in stock, but it's been a firm staple of mine when I need to look a little more polished than usual. I'll be wearing my Wallpaper Rose camera necklace (in case anyone forgets what I'm there for!), accessorised with my Canon camera bag and fabulous shoes ;)

Next week, myself and Mr Crown&Glory are moving to the green pastures of Cornwall, from smelly old Newport (if we don't kill each other first). Of course this means, a leaving party! I blogged a few days ago about the *amazing* DIY MiuMiu esque tights from cocorosa and couldn't wait to apply to procedure to a piece of headware. I created this Lindsey Fascinator (named after the model who was shot in the original S/S10 campaign, natch) from a dusky pink felt fascinator base, felt and handpainted swallows and Swarovski crystal embellishment. There is no real theme to this outfit, other than that I bought these a-mazing shoes in the New Look sale for a bargainous £7, and formed the rest of the outfit around the fascinator and shoes. Unfortunately I don't own this wonderful necklace by Wallpaper Rose, but if I did I would be wearing it on Sunday! In fact, I don't think my outfit is going to feel complete now *sob*.
