Party season outfit
Fash n Chips turns FIVE today! And so today should be a good day to kinda kick off "party season". I'm hardly a party person myself but that doesn't mean I don't know what I would wear to a party if I were to attend one. So here's my current pick: while a dress like this could easily be worn with bare legs as well, I personally really like wearing it over a pair of cropped trousers. And so my ideal "party outfit" at the moment would actually be quite simple, one that could also be worn on any other day of the year, but I would glitz it up with some festive accessories.. Alexander McQueen cropped pants, Burberry Beauty eye palette, Ganni dress, Topshop earrings, Monica Vinader ring, Elizabeth and James bracelet, ASOS velvet ankle boots, & Other Stories leather bag and Stila eye pencil[show_shopthepost_widget id="1168560"]

December '13
Hope you've all had a lovely and peaceful Christmas!? I know the month is not over yet but so far this one must have been my favourite of 2013 - although, to be fair, December is pretty much my favourite month of any year. This year I made sure I finished all my work on time so that after I came back from London I could have some proper days of (well deserved, imo) laziness as well. This free time I spent having a LOTR marathon and catching up on series and sleep and I've enjoyed every minute of it.
