Work Hard - Play Hard

Worst case  scenario...Finish work at 6.30 and have to be at a party at 7! There's no way you can make it home to change and get to the party on time! So I've come up with an outfit that with the change of shoes, outerwear and accessories goes from work wear to play wear! The dress can be found at Simply Be for a bargain price of £42...

Running around a busy office all day is no place for heels for me, so I've gone for a comfy pair of flats and a big tote bag that will fit all my work things in. I've also chosen a laid back cardigan and elegant pearl earrings and a silver necklace, it's smart but still fairly casual.

Cardigan - Next - £16 / Bag - Accessorize - £32 / Shoes - John Lewis - £49 / Earrings - Juliet & Company - £10.80 / Necklace - Accessorize - £12

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the party, a quick change into this snazzy blazer, big statement necklace, hoop earrings and white heels and I'm ready for a party! I'm in love with this pearl clutch bag, it's just big enough to fit in all my essentials! I also think this would make a lovely summer wedding outfit, it's so soft and romantic, love it!

Blazer - New Look - £22.99 / Bag - Coast - £60 / Shoes - New Look - £24.99 / Earrings - Oliver Bonas - £22 / Necklace - M&S - £15

A spritz of hair spray, touch up of make and perfume and you'll be ready to hit the cocktail bar while people comment on how well made up you look. Little do they know...

You can find this dress and more at Simply Be...I need these in my wardrobe now!

Happy shopping/partying!

We're both so excited that Asos have started their epic sale! I've spend the last hour filling my basket with gorgeous clothes! So I thought I'd share some of my finds with you...

Happy shopping!

Lau does...Leather

Recently, I've found myself drawn to everything leather! Although it's not perhaps the comfiest during hot weather, (not that we have to be worrying about that recently!) it definitely makes a statement! The dress above is the perfect combo of leather and other materials, and gives a more daring look to a fairly regular LBWD...

So how can you incorporate leather into your every day wardrobe? Easily, wet look/pleather leggings can look gorgeous layered up with a white top, blazer and chunky heels, or team a leather skirt with a crisp white shirt for an edgy day in the office. For a cocktail party, a leather panel dress would look gorgeous with killer heels and a bright coloured clutch bag. If you're running late and don't have time to plan out an outfit, a pair of jeans, a cute top, heels and a leather jacket is always a classy look!

If you're looking for something really leathery, but don't fancy wearing a whole cow, a dress like this from Asos Curve is a brilliant option. High impact but still classy with the lace and shapely black panels...so gorgeous!

It's a bold move....but if done well, it's a winner!

Happy shopping, Lau xox

Lau does... Prints

Cooie! First post... so here goes!

Patterns are all the rage this summer. Floral, Vintage and crazy geometric prints are everywhere, and it seems no one can go wrong with a statement print dress. Asos Curve have a fab collection of gorgeous clothes in amazing prints, I can't wait to get my hands on some of them! 

Personally, my favourite dress has to be this one... 

I'd wear it with a navy blazer and heels to dress it up, or wear it with strappy sandals and a cardi to go to lunch with friends. There's no end to the ways you can wear these pieces, they're the perfect base for any occasion!

Asos also have some gorgeous patterned trousers that would look amazing teamed with a plain vest, or clashed with a patterned blazer if you're feeling daring! You can get your hands on one of these pieces for as little as £18! An absolute bargain, there's really no excuse to not treat yourselves to a little slice of patterned perfection this summer!

Millie does... Monochrome

// MONOCHROME

Hello lovely people. This is my first ever post! Eek. Here goes... Since we've been at our new office I have been trying (somewhat in vain) to dress a little smarter than I usually do. It's Summer, sort of, so I feel like I should be covering myself in floral patterns and brightly coloured accessories, but black and white is just so darn classic. Not to mention powerful. And pretty hot. I feel like I mean serious business when I'm monochromed up. Here is a collection of some of this season's hottest monochrome beauties.

// ASOS Curve | Culottes | Size 18-26 | 12.00 GBP // ASOS Curve | Swing Dress | Size 18-26 | 24.00 GBP

// New Look Inspire |  Midi Dress | Size 18-28 | 14.99 GBP // Forever 21 + |  Lace Shorts  | Size 18-24 | 16.75 GBP

// Pretty Polly Curve | Tights | One Size | 10.00 GBP // Evans | Heart Cut Belt | 8.00 GBP // Accessorize | Selection of bags | From 25.00 GBP // New Look | Cut Out Sandals | Wide Fit | 22.99 GBP

Black and white is everywhere at the moment, this is just a teeny tiny selection of what's out there. Let us know if you find anything fabulous, I have zero doubt that you will!

Happy shopping.
