Tattoo Transfer - Elsie & Fred

Here is one of my favourite outfit posts to kick off Autumn. A confusing session I always feel, so there is nothing better than a new LBD and some fur to start it off. 

I love this black shift dress from Forever 21 and I recently picked it up in the sale for just £8. It goes down at the back too with delicate thin straps. Perfect for both the day and night.

Then I decided to add some fur, this piece was actually an old Primark favourite of mine that has been hiding away in my wardrobe since I was at university when my style consisted of all things vintage. To mix it up a bit, I have on some gold jewellery for detailing, some nike sport socks (desperately still clinging onto the sports luxe trend) and my new patent platformed brogues from Primark.

My followers on instagram wanted to know about my new tattoo transfer.. I got sent this amazing kit from Elsie & Fred and even though I have 8 real tattoos of my own, it's nice to change it up and have something different that isn't permanent (click the description above for more detail)

WHITE / GOLD

For those who follow my instagram.. you will have seen most of these pictures already and heard all about my latest Primark haul! Here is the £13 dress I was telling you about!!! I went shopping with my mum yesterday and had been meaning to pop into the Primark in town for this dress. The fabric is great quality for what it is, soft to touch and looks really expensive. The collar is made well and I'm wearing my size, a size 8 and it's still got so much room in it. This amazing white sheer number cost me just £13 and I don't care what anyone says about Primark, I love nothing more than finding a bargain and if you buy the right thing from there, it's really rewarding to have special pieces that you haven't had to break the bank for. Zara has a similar style jumper dress but its £30 and Topshop are also showcasing a love of sheer panelling fashion. So this was a perfect opportunity to show my readers and my followers why I love affordable fashion and with the right styling.. you can make even a Primark dress a success.

I have matched it up with some black croc lace up boots, keeping in theme with the monochrome look and another bargain of the day, was this roll over crisp white clutch from Internacionale, they have recently gone into administration and everything has gone into sale stock. I thought I would take a look and maybe get a great deal on some leggings or jersey tops, but then I ended up spotting this little dream. What do you think? ...

I also have on, all gold accessories, my gold Michael Kors watch, gold midi rings I recently purchased from Topshop from their mid-season sale and also gold earrings. I NEVER wear earrings, so this was a massive change for me and felt quite strange but I'm inclined to give it another go soon. I also have in a new gold nose ring, so I felt I was rocking some gypsy/nomadic vibes.

I have also styled this amazing dress for the daytime on my instagram.. so head over to http://instagram.com/glitterandgrimes and let me know what you think.

COAT FROM HEAVEN

I haven't got round to wearing this coat as much as I should. I got this amazing off white coat in the sale not long after Christmas for just £40. It's a heavenly colour and just a key over sized piece. I have it on with a simple white tee and my favourite black skinny jeans. When I'm wearing a great coat, I feel the need to put on my best Michael Kors rose gold watch. This watch never gets old and I still love to wear it after having it so long. 

I recently set up a Depop guys!! My username is stonerags, so be sure to follow me on it as I'm selling sooo many of my clothes this weekend for some extra cash. Will keep people posted on instagram of what I'm actually selling. I have some amazing things, but I just don't have the room for all my clothes.

Welcome to a new fresh look to Velvet Writer.. more clean styling and fresher outfit posts. I am hiding away my bright clothes and edgy ways, for more modern, cutting edge, monochrome trends this month. You will be seeing a fimilar style in most of the posts that follow. I see this as the evolution of my blog and how I see my style and taste changing from when I first started.

I have white on white, both Topshop Boutique pieces. I regret not showing off how amazing this shirt dress underneath and how much structural detail it offers, but I wanted to wear an oversized jumper and accentuate how the dress is slightly londer and curved at the back. 

I think this jumper looks so rich, Topshop in Liverpool no longer sell this jumper anymore, only in black.. but you can still catch this beauty online and on eBay. Mine is quite a big size, as I purposely wanted it over sized, I think it's a size 14. 

Hope you liked it guys!
