"You can say what you like about long dresses, but they cover a multitude of shins." ~ Mae West.

Rubi Shoes Snuggle Scarf - Boutique Leather Jacket - Nightcap Clothing Black Maxi

So I'm a massive idiot and didn't get any proper photos of what I thought was a perfect ensemble. It really doesn't get much better than a snood (SNOOD), leather jacket and a maxi dress on the first day of Winter. Instead, these photos are a freak display of me looking like I have no hair, on account of my favourite scarf being hung at all angles on my head, and pretty minimal visibility of anything I'm wearing due to the freak contrast in lighting.

That's right. Freak.

So I promise I'll wear this again :) So you can see the awesomeness in my new love of maxi dresses in winter (I own a grand total of two - this should probably change... fast)

And now the moment of truth: the winner of my first blog birthday giveaway is...


Thank you all for entering, and don't you worry - there will be more giveaways in the not-too-distant future!

P.S. So many of you agreed that I should put yesterday's post into practice, that I've decided... well, yes I shall :) But first, I need to find this TOPSHOP corset top in black, so if anyone can help me out, drop me a line! What do we all think about the blue, though?

*love*
