Autumn Style

As its getting colder and the time to wrap up has arrived, I have decided to choose my favourite two items for this Autumn and share them with you all.

I have seen a lot of plaid in shops recently and I think its a great pattern to wear this time of year and looks great with tights, Chelsea boots and a Parker or Duffel coat. 

I bought this dress from Forever 21 but I can no longer find it on their website, trust me if you look around the high street enough you will find one! You will be looking at between £15-£25 for a dress depending on where you buy it. 

My next choice is a must have for this season and with them coming out with a new range soon, there will be a lot of choice of fantastically designed street wear. I lived in this beanie hat from Rubies & Poison last year, it looks great and is really cosy!

The beanies currently available on their website are £9.99, keep an eye open for their new range coming out for A/W14 https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rubies-And-Poison

Record of the month...Shuggie Otis - Hurricane

This months Record of the month is Shuggie Otis - Hurricane.

After being told by someone at work to buy an Shuggie Otis greatest hits, I have been in love with this track! Its a great up beat soul song, a good song to dance to. 

The other stand out tracks on the 69-74 greatest hits are; Strawberry Letter 23 (you may remember it from an advert), One room country shack & me and my woman. 

'HEY! Baby don't you know, your looking good and I love you so'

Please do let me know what you think of this track, I personally think it's a gooden! 

Get the look....Megan Draper

Everyone loves the fashion in Mad Men, most women dream of having a wardrobe like Betty, Megan or Joan. With fantastic looking outfits, hairstyles and general beautifulness, Mad Men looks fabulous as well as having an addictive story line and some of the best looking actors and actresses in Hollywood. 

I love all of the outfits in Mad Men but I like Megan Drapers the most, I would have worn the same clothes as her if I was lucky enough to be around in the 60s. Megan has great looks all the way through the series, with jumper and capri duos and some fantastic looking dresses, that I would kill to own!

She is seen wearing mini shift dresses with flared sleeves a lot of the time, loud patterns splashed with colour.  

For this blog post I have chosen to focus on Dollybird Clothing, a great on-line clothing store that sell fantastic vintage and 60's inspired dresses. Wearing these dresses you will look like you have stepped out of an episode of Mad Men. Fabulously hand picked, looking at both patterns and colours, they have superbly brought the 60's to 2014.

All these items have been re founded and hand picked by Dollybird Clothing to sell to their much loved audience, I suggest you have a look at their Facebook page and see the full range of beauty available to purchase.
