Store Spotlight: House of Fraser

A few months ago I found the most beautiful sweater dress at ASOS, but unfortunately the color and size I wanted was not available. I searched around the internet and found the same dress at a store called the House of Fraser - it's a UK-based store and it is worth a look! Here's some of my recent finds there...I quite like the range of brands they sell including East, NW3, Ted Baker...

Lace and Crochet Dresses

It would be nice to find a pretty lace or crochet dress. It's a difficult search though, as I find many stores (e.g. H & M) use really cheap lace, and I imagine it wouldn't make it through one wash - and I'm not really into dry cleaning. Those that are made of a bit better material are a million dollars (well not a million, but $300 for a dress is ridiculous). Anyway, here are a few of the dresses I've been browsing.


Anthropologie Dress $295





Bebe Dress $199




Asos Dress $108




Asos Dress $90.35




Zara trf Lace Dress $59.90




Topshop 48 pounds




Topshop Lace Dress 45 Pounds

New Aran Sweater Dress

Here's a look at my new custom-made aran sweater dress. I bought it from Lynda at momentum designs on Etsy - she makes many beautiful sweaters! I am looking forward to colder weather!

Winter 2011 Want: Aran Sweater (Dress)

I have wanted an Aran sweater dress for a long, long time. My mom knit me a beautiful celtic cardigan in beige, but I want something I can wear with leggings and boots this winter. I am not sure what color to buy...I think my favorite colors are charcoal grey, dark heather green, maybe brown or pumpkin. I don't know if I would go for the traditional cream color - I like it, but I'm afraid I'll spend $200 and end up staining it :). Look how gorgeous these are! I like the first one best!

Find it here. $250

Find it here. $146

Find it here. $89

I also saw this celtic cowl scarf - so pretty!

More Fall Cravings

I had a little look at what ASOS has to offer for the fall - these are some of my favorites. If I had a few hundred dollars sitting around, I might be tempted, but for now I'll just have to gaze longingly.

I love these rusty brown colors and the tails on winter jackets. I'd definitely get this if it was just a little less pricey. The fur hat is neat too - fur is definitely going to be big this winter.

Find the jacket here. 120 pounds. The hat is here. 20 pounds

I hope this is a sign that there are going to be great heels out there that are at more reasonable heights!

Find it here. 45 pounds

Find it here. 5 pounds

Find it here. 15 pounds - on sale

I want something like this - but more of an antique white, cream or ivory color - hopefully with just a plain collar - rather than a high neck.

Find it here. 21 pounds

Love these greens!

Find it here. 35 pounds

Cravings for Fall

As I begin to see more of my favourite stores offerings for fall, I have been looking for a few things, but still am not sure what I will really obsess about this season.

Bright Colours

Oranges, Fuchsias, Greens - I would probably wear neutrals like browns and blacks with these.

J Crew Pants

Asos Top

J Crew Blouse

J Crew Pants

A little Fur?

Asos Fur Cuffs

That's all for now - though I have been trying to find some chunky jewellery. David Yurman being my most wanted for necklaces.

All Things Druzy

Druzy Jewelry

When I was searching for labradorite jewelry, I came across druzy slice jewelry. Druzy is another term for the inner cavity of a geode and it seems to be becoming population in places like etsy. Here are some of the examples I've been eying...

Store Spotlight: Zazzle Vintage

So for those of you who don't know, Zazzle is kind of like etsy...People make and sell a variety of products, but they are generally customizable. On my searches for graphic sneakers I came across this store: Zazzle Vintage. I love their graphic sneakers, but they also make quite a few nice t-shirts and other products - take a look!
