Happy New Year!
Well, my first post of a brand spanking new year and I thought I’d share my outfit New Year outfit from New Years Day. No point looking back to the old year and my New Years Eve outfit (mostly because I didn’t take a photo), but onwards to 2013.
⤠Beret – eBay ⤠Cats Eye Sunglasses c/o Sunglasses Shop ⤠Dress & Belt – Vintage â¤
⤠Tights – Hepburn & Leigh ⤠Shoes – Clarks* ⤠Bag – Zatchel â¤
The tights are ones I wrote about back in 2011, never bought, and then discovered they were still on sale now and snaffled a pair. They’ve got a back seam detail that looks like ribbon, and a print that looks like buttons on the sides.
The Zatchel was a Christmas present from Mummy & Daddy Chick to replace all my other bags that are falling apart because I insist on carrying half a chemist shop, make up counter and stationers round with me every day “just in case”. Hopefully this will prove more sturdy. Hopefully.
The cats eye sunglasses were sent to me by one of my sponsors the Sunglasses Shop. “How seasonal” I thought when they arrived in the post, and put them in a cupboard to await the Summer. So when I awoke on New Years Day to clear bright skies, and that slightly irritating winter sunshine that really blinds you, I thought “woo hoo!” and put them on. I do like the opportunity to pair a beret with sunglasses as it makes me feel like a spy.
New Years Day calls for a low key Besame Dusty Rose lipstick, and you might also notice my hair is now much blonder! After stripping the red in May, 2 hair cuts and 2 applications of uber blonde dye I am finally *nearly* rid of the stained orange parts, Hurrah! New Year, new hair!
I hope you are enjoying your 2013 so far.
Because I kind of do like looking back occasionally I shall leave you with 2012 – A year in frocks (and occasionally trousers)

Such gorgeous outfits! I particularly love January and especially the shoes.
Those shoes were about £2 from a charity shop! It’s always worth hunting!
I really love your hair this colour, but then I liked it before too.
Pumpkin hat will always be the best thing you own as far as I’m concern. I want that hat!
Thanks! I still need to get rid of some orange before I’m completely sure, and I am currently so tempted to dye it candyfloss pink!
You have such an excellent dress collection! Happy new year!
Happy New Year dollface!
Love the purple!xx
Very glam! Happy New Year 🙂
I choose August as the most gorgeous outfit, possibly because your hair is up and I love the dress but I swear you are 8 years younger there, maybe 9… Now, that is really saying something since in November you are wearing my trousers and looking very french and gorgeous, but August still wins. Happy New Year Miss Chick
Ive got your dress on in March as well!
Fabulous…. I want all of those dresses! 🙂
Happy New Year
I’ve not that long ago found your blog, but I think it’s fabulous and very interesting.

Fantastic post!
Love it, such a great style!!
Ace oufits as always Gemma! I think I commented back on that dress you wore in August back at the time, but it really is sensational! Love it : ) x
Eeeee, really nice outfits there. Looking forward to seeing more in 2013 I hadn’t realised Besame did quieter shades of lippie; that shade is lovely.
It’s a tough choice but I think August is my fave. Closely followed by October and December.
