SGT. DOLLBABY

At the end of February, I shared my stand out favourites from the La Belle Heroine range and then quickly followed this with a full review of more items from that range, but there was one stand out item that was not in my hands in time for that review, and I waited ever so impatiently for it to arrive - The Sgt. Dollbaby Cardigan!

When I was told about the new range the phrase that stuck out most is that it would be 'full of Teer-style items' and when I got the previews I was blown away with all of the military style, figure hugging items.

Sgt. Dollbaby Cardigan - $155.00

The one item that blew me away was this stunning military inspired cardigan with all the trimmings. Made from super stretchy black knit adorned with gold buttons, embroided stars and gold piping this cardigan is the perfect mix of strong military styling with feminine figure hugging shapes. One of my favourite features has to be the stand up collar which is unique to the W&DB range of knitwear. 

Now if you follow all of my Wheels & Dollbaby reviews you will know that I can wear anything from a size 10 to a 16. But for this item I went for a 16 so that there would be no pull on the buttons and extra room for my large bust. It's a perfect fit all over yet a little roomy on the lower half of the 3/4 length sleeve which I assume is due to the piping feature. 

The Sgt. Dollbaby cardi has now become a wardrobe staple for me as the weather gets chilly and looks amazing with everything from wiggle skirts to full swing styles and pairs wonderfully with high waisted black skinny jeans. My only accessory on this shoot was a simple black beret but I'm dying to get my hands on some vintage military caps to pair with this look. So if you are sitting on the fence with this new style cardigan I urge you to get this ASAP! I could have sized down if I wanted to wear this open as it's super stretchy and there are still 14's in stock via the online store.

Leopard Day Dress  - $310.00

While shooting this amazing cardigan, I had to sneak in my new favourite dress for Autumn/Winter which is the Leopard Day Dress. I was searching high and low for a super cute dress to wear to my Hucks (hens/bucks) day/evening and this little leopard number ticked all the boxes. 

Made from a plush stretch leopard jersey that fits like a second skin, the day dress is a almost like the Dita Cardigan in dress form. With the iconic peter pan collar and velvet bow tie combination this style falter both small and large sized bust. I'm wearing this dress in a size 14 and I was blow away by the fit! For this photo shoot I chose to show a little cleavage but this dress also buttons up with no issues over my GG chest which is usually unheard of. So if you have a large bust there are so many options to choose from at Wheels & Dollbaby. My favourite way of styling this dress is to pair it with stunning black stockings, berets and leather driving gloves and it works both day and night.

 

Many thanks to the always brilliant and super fun to work with Rom Anthonis for collaborating with me for this shoot and I can't wait to work with you again!

Winter Shoe Lust List

As we near the tail end of Autumn I'm sitting her on my laptop, nursing a cup of tea and hunting across the internet and globe for some winter shoes to add to my collection. With patterns, unique styles and warming boots in mine I've found some brilliantly fancy footwear and created my latest lust list.

Pencil Me In Flat from Modcloth - $99.99

I'm a sucker for a bright, unique and kitchy style accessory and these awesome flats from Mod Cloth have stolen my heart. JC has created a pencil shoe that is funky and absolutely adorable. I can see these paired with skinny jeans or with tights and skater dresses as the weather cools.

Becca Boot in Black - $79.99

While searching I came across Union Jack Boots, the mecca for all Dr Marten footwear and fell for the Becca Boot. A black calf high winter boot with everything a girl needs. In my teens I adored my 8 up Dr Martens and I like this style as a more grown up take of the boot. The silver buckle details and small heel make this perfect for work of casual outfits.

Truffle Collection Alma Blue Court Shoes - $47.44

In winter I tend to wear a lot of darker colours so the main pop of colour seen will be my accessories. I'm smitten with this electric blue hue on the Alma Blue Court Shoe and want them on my feet asap. The stunning bright colour pairs perfectly with a matching clutch and complimenting colours. I can see these worn with black disco pants and a fitted black blazer or moto jacket.

Jeffrey Campbell Lita in Grey - $160

For the last few years the JC Lita boot has been my go to style for winter and to pair with skinny jeans. These babies may look tall but the platform to heel ratio makes these the most comfortable shoe on earth. Over the years I've had suede, plaid, spiked and patterned but I think this season calls for a more earthy tone and I love this shade of grey. These will look amazing with black of charcoal skinnies.

BETTIE-22 Black White Patent - $86.00

Then lastly what I hope to be my new work hees are the Bettie-22 from Shoe Me Gorgeous. I've always had a soft spot for a t-bar shoe and this bold white and black pump has to be on my lust list. The great thing about this style is that you can pair it with both retro and modern styles and it suits both. This style also comes in a matte brown and black version and is just as stunning.

What's on your winter lust list for footwear? What boots are you lusting over the season?
