Gold and burgundy...

A couple of weekends ago my grandparents threw a mini party (read cake and ice-cream) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their engagement. You know I take any excuse to dress up and this burgundy dress was ideal for the chilly weather. Burgundy is one of my favourite colours to wear and it feels really decadent (especially when paired with faux fur and gold accessories) It was massively windy when Mark was taking this pictures so they look pretty silly but they were also quite fun, it's impossible to take yourself too seriously when the wind is threatening to blow you over! 

Coat: Topshop, dress: Tesco, necklace: Accessorize, shoes: Topshop
This dress is such a lovely fit and it was so nice to style it up in a more fun way than I would usually would. It is a work staple but usually black tights and a cardigan are as exciting as it gets so bare legs and gold accessories are much more interesting! I'm not sure why I look so grumpy in these pictures, I was actually grinning my head off when we took these pictures!


I picked up these gold sparkly shoes in the Topshop sale a few weeks ago for a mere £7 and they are my favourite shoes at the moment (no word of a lie, I am seriously tempted to get the monochrome pair too!) There's nothing like a pair of gold sparkly shoes to cheer you up!

Loving those shoes, they were a total bargain, but by the time I saw them my size was sold out - typical, eh!

Such a yummy colour on you! AS IF those shoes were £7. I really like the sweet ankle strap. :)

Braver than your average! Especially in these weathers we've been having. Ah nice, I need more excuses to dress up a bit.

You look really great in burgundy! I have a dress in the exact same shade too and I love it! Love the shoes also, very girly and it goes so well with the outfit! Hope you weren't too cold though haha :) Happy anniversary to your grandparents! xxx

You're a vision in red Maria! And those shoes look perfect for dancing, they're just what I'd be looking for for wedding shoes! <3 Claire @ Jazzpad

Oh my word, you legs! I wouldn't be hiding mine inside tights if they looked that good. Congratulations to your grandparents too!
