My Style: Middle Mouse

What does one wear to Lords when one is faced with a dress code do's and don't list from hell??? Eek! Well rules are meant to be broken so I largely stuck to the strict cricket rules but added my own twist hoping no one would notice. I'm happy to report all turned out A-OK!


So here's a run down of my Lords assemble...




Pencil skirt
So I opted for the newly promoted tight fitted pencil skirt. For many seasons now it's all been about floaty maxi styles, girly lines that make you want to twirl in circles. The likes of Marc Jacobs and Jonathan Saunders have bought the pencil skirt up to date with eye-catching prints and bold colours. I've actually had this River Island pencil for a few months now but i'm happy to report it's still in-store. It's the perfect combo of comfy and cool so snap it up now. 


Top
From the good old trusty Topshop Boutique range. I always head to this section in Toppers when i'm looking for smart/chic staples. They do everything for cashmere vests to silk cami dresses in an array of colours to suit every look. Made from silk and big enough to house mini and biggy mouse! Perfect loose and billowing or for a more fitted look, cinch in at the waist with a vinatge belt. 


Shoulder bag
One of my mum's vintage finds back in the day. This little beauty is actually from Spain. I love the studded detail and the combination of leather and suede on the front section. It goes with pretty much everything and is just the right size for a trip to the cricket!


Necklace
A statement piece from Reiss. I love chunky Mawi type necklaces that transform an outfit and I feel this piece does just that. It instantly gives any look a modern lift even if it does give me neck ache! 


Wedges
These Deena & Ozzy peep toe wedges from Urban Outfitters I can confidently say are pain-free shoes sent from heaven! They really are so so comfy and go with pretty much everything which is always a bonus, remember cost per wear! Love the basket weave wedge and the silver buckle detail.

Shades
You can't go wrong with Ray-Ban in my opinion, I have a few pairs but these ones are my fav. The majority of Londoners own a pair of the aviator style it has to be said but these rounded wayfarer ones are a little more vintage inspired. Perfect for summer outings - come back sun!!!

Mice Advice... Bridesmaid Dresses

The mice to the rescue on another fashion dilemma and this time we're on the subject of bridesmaid dresses. Last week we were tasked with the job of finding the lovely Jessica Ansell some fabulously spectacular bridesmaid dresses for her wedding coming up in October. 

Right ladies, we all know it can take hours and hours to find the perfect dress for a big occasion that's just the right style, just the right colour at just the right price and a bride-to-be has enough on her plate in the run up to the best day of her life to be stressed about what her best girls will be wearing when they walk down the aisle behind her.  So Jess, you'll be pleased to hear that the mice have come up with a shortlist of fashion forward suggestions.  A bridesmaid dress should be subtle in style and design (no one wants to overshadow the bride). The colour should complement the bride perhaps in an ice-cream pink / nude or contrast totally adding a pop of colour so perhaps a plum or a jewel toned dress.   Well we have both bases covered.  Without further ado, countdown please for our top picks... 3, 2, 1... 

Elegant and simple, this Aqua design is classic with a modern neckline in the form of a knotted twist. The perfect dress from a bridesmaids point of view because they can easily wear it again - nothing worse than a bridesmaid dress that you would never in a million years wear out of choice. WIN WIN! 

Aqua, £85


This Coast number is the perfect combination of romantic and girly. It's floaty hem and nudey hue whispers fairytale wedding. It also comes in a sassy azure and a classic navy.

Coast, £170

Add a touch of sparkle with this embellished Ted Baker style. Block colour brights always make for stunning wedding snaps and this cobalt blue suits practically everyone. Keep accessories to a minimum so as not to take away from the pretty jewel detailing.

Ted Baker, £249 


Modern and bold, this Reiss dress will definitely not leave your bridesmaids looking like over the top meringues. This jade drape style will really come into its own paired with a chic top knot bun - less fuss the better and all for under £100 too!

Reiss, £99



This Ted Baker stunning silk maxi features a detailed pleated bust in a stunning coral. Timeless in style, this gown will have your bridesmaids looking picture perfect on the day and complement an ivory or white wedding dress perfectly.

Ted Baker, £229
