Outfit Post - Wrapping up warm in Scotland

Scotland was COLD! lol! Lots of ice and snow, and some seriously bitter winds. So that meant layering was needed! So this is the little outfit I put together for our day in Edinburgh.  

Dress: Heine c/o Kaleidoscope 

Jumper: Peacocks

Boots: c/o Barretts

Bag: via eBay

Tights: Random

The outfit was topped with my Debenhams Full Length Wool Coat, a Wool Cloche Hat and Furry Gloves. And believe me I needed every layer of that!

I had never thought of layering a jumper over this dress before but I thought the grey and white colours would work well together and the collar of the jumper was just right to layer with the cowl neck of the dress. 

Outfit Post - My Kaleidoscope Newspaper Print Dress

So for the John Lewis event I wore my nice warm and cozy Kaleidoscope Newspaper Print Dress. The event wasn't overly dressy so I didn't want to wear some sort of party dress but I still wanted to look a little dressy and a bit smart. I love this dress as it is so different and it is nice and warm for this time of year!

Dress: c/o Kaleidoscope

Boots: Random Shop at home

Tights: Primark

Necklace: Vintage

Bangle: Both gifts

 Hope you like!

And I hope your all having a nice week!

Outfit Post - My Heine Print Dress and New Hair

Hello! So I said I would show you my new hair a few days ago and I finally got around to taking some pictures this week after seeing Cirque Eloize at the Wales Millenium Centre, which by the way was brilliant!

So without further a do, here is the new hair!

What do you think? I've been wanting to dip dye my hair for ages and I finally took the plunge 2 weeks ago. It was done by Yana at CF24 Salon on Albany Road, but she had a real hard time bleaching my natural colour first. I was there for over 4 hours as the bleaching took 2 and a half! Mad! The colour is holding really well though so I haven't even had to re-dye it yet! I was just going to ombre it but I thought blue would be more fun!

Now on to the outfit: What do you think of my great new dress courtesy of Kaleidoscope? This Heine Print dress just called to me when I was scrolling through the site. I don't know whether it was the journalist in me that was attracted to that newspaper print sections or just the fact that the dress looked different to anything else I have seen on the high street recently.

I have had it about 3 weeks now and have been wearing it quite a lot. The jersey fabric is just so soft and cozy (and washes really well, in case your interested!) so I have thrown it on on a number of occasions and I always end up feeling smart and well dressed, without quite so much effort.

On this occasion I wore it with my big thick afghan coat (as it is freezing down the bay at the moment), thick tights and my beloved brogues! A perfect monochrome outfit!

Coat: Kit

Dress: c/o Kaleidoscope

Shoes: New Look

I've also tried wearing this with a waist cinched sequinned belt, blazer and heels, so cute and great for an evening out.

Kaleidoscope often has the connotations of being a middle aged catalogue but I was very surprised to find so many interesting pieces and many on trend items. They have tons of well prices occasion wear dresses for women of all ages and a great accessories range. Definitely worth a look next time you are doing some online shopping.

This is my current favourite item on the site.

Apart Blouse £55

I am having a total blouse thing at the moment, and am crushing on this sexy silky number
