What's On My Christmas List - Style

[This post contains affiliate links]

It's the second in my seasonal roundup / lust list/ 'things I just reyt like' posts. This time on my favourite topic of THINGS THAT I CAN PUT ON MY BODY aka STYLE. 
I mean, you can put anything on your body if you want; wafer thin ham, twenty terrapins, an egg. But these are things specific to me and if you want to talk about those things, do your own post ok?

What's On My Christmas List - Beauty

[This post contains affiliate links]

It hit me today that I LOVE roundup posts but I never do them. Partly because I'm lazy and partly also because I am lazy. So I've taken the decision to use the festive season as an excuse to summarise the products I've loved throughout the year, items I've had my eye on and just generally lovely things I'd like to tell you about, and where better to start than with Beauty?

My plans for the next week are to do the following:
Eat,
Drink,
Be massively merry.

I would also just like to take a moment here to acknowledge that this time of year can be incredibly difficult for so many of us. Below is a list of organisations and helplines compiled by Lovely Kellie from Big Fashionista and displayed so beautifully by Lottie L'Amour.

IT'S CHRISTMAS with Joanie clothing

I've been desperate to share this Joanie Clothing dress with you all but a bit like with Christmas decorations, I didn't want to share it too soon and for it to lose any sparkle!

Odette Cocktail Dress - Joanie Clothing
Shoes - New Look (Old) 
As you may know, I was extremely lucky earlier this year in that I modeled some of the Christmas range for Joanie, meaning that I not only got a sneak peak but also got to wear it.  Which is where I fell for the Odette...

The epitome of 1950s cocktail dress fom the scalloped neckline to the full skirt, this dress is an item which I am genuinely excited to have in my wardrobe. Just look at that print (CAN YOU TELL I'M IN LOVE?)

Bag - Vintage Gift 
There is also an utterly stunning cocktail skirt in the Cocktail print (The Noelle) which I am the proud owner of and have already worn on three separate occasions - It really is gorgeous. With both the dress and the skirt, the volume comes from the cut - This means that there is no need for an underskirt to achieve the beautiful 50's silhouette which brings me such joy. 

As with most of the fitted items from Joanie, I have sized up half a size with the Odette meaning that this dress is an 18. There is plenty of room around the bust and hips and it sits beautifully close around the waist.

I honestly could not ask for a more beautiful dress for the festive season, it is total perfection. For me, Joanie Clothing have been instrumental in brightening up what has otherwise been a pretty grim year and I'm hugely enjoying seeing them go from strength to strength. If you like brands who care about style, elegance and most importantly their customers; Joanie clothing are the guys for you.
