I recently picked up this dress in my local Primark and I have completely fallen in love with it, so much so that I also got the dark red version of it too, both for the bargain price of £30. The red dress is pretty much a dupe of the Saint Laurent Collared dress except this one is less than a percentage of the price! I wore mine with some cosy knit tights and biker style ankle boots to toughen the look up. This is a look that will become an autumn/winter staple of mine as it's just so easy to put together.
I've also teamed the look with my new Rebecca Minkoff Mini Affair bag in Navy which I picked up in at the beautiful Henri Bendall's store in New York (which you can read about here.) I've wanted one of her bags for a while and always thought I'd get a Mini Mac after seeing YouTubers such as Miss Glamorazzi and Fleur De Force rave about them! However I saw this online just before I went, and knew this was the one I had to get and I'm very excited to have my first designer handbag. I know it's one that I'll use for years as it's such a classic style.
What do you think of this look? What's on your handbag wishlist? Check out a few of mine here.
Here's what I wore:

It's coming up to the exam period for us university students as I'm sure most of you are all too aware. Although I don't have any exams my big hand in date is quickly approaching. I did another photoshoot with a friend of mine as part of this hand in - I'm looking for male models if any of you know any for my next photoshoot. Again with these photos the theme is 90s, I hope this comes across in the styling and editing as I've had a nightmare editing some of these!
I'd love to know what you think, whether its good or bad feedback (it helps me out either way), leave me a comment below! After the big hand in I should be back to blogging as usual - and if you didn't see it already I interviewed Lily Vanilli, which was an exciting and interesting experience... check it out here.
I know in my last blogpost I said that I was meant to be being good and saving my money but I've made a few cheeky purchases recently, so I thought I would share them with you and let you know about some of the bargains I've picked up, I got 4 things for under £25!
Everyone seems to be loving frilly socks at the moment and I do too, I have a few pairs from Topshop but I spotted these in my local Primark and I had to pick them up, at only £1.50 a pair (I wished they had a few more colours!) I'll think they will look great with my next purchase...
New look brought out shoes very similar to these as part of their limited range last year and I fell in love with them but couldn't find them in store anywhere. So I had to forget about my dream shoes until I came across this pair on New Look via ASOS last week, they were having 25% student discount too so I think I got them for around £19! They fit like a dream and I can tell I'll be getting a lot of wear out of these.
(Please excuse how creased this top is, I literally took the photo as soon as I got home from the shops)
Lastly I picked up this boyfriend style cropped t-shirt from Primark for only £3, It'll be great for the warmer months and I reckon It'll go with quite a few things I have in my wardrobe. Although the top is boyfriend style they all looked massive when I held them up to myself so I would recommend going down a size.
I also brought a few beauty bits so look out for that post too! Also If you haven't already, please nominate me (iamdaisyalice.blogspot.co.uk) for Company's Blog awards under the category Best Personal Style Newcomer Blog here - It would mean the world to me!
