Pure Gold From Zalando.co.uk!

Tuesday 4 December 2012

I'm struggling to accept that Christmas is in exactly 3 weeks. This year has just flown by and I can't stop thinking about Christmas parties and giving presents - it's so exciting! At the moment I'm crazy for everything velvet. I don't own any velvet leggings (yet) but after spotting this MinkPink dress on Zalando.co.uk, I've started my very own velvet dress collection.

MinkPink dress (£63) - Zatchels Metallic Barrel (£40) - Ji Ji Kiki Ring (£8.50) - M&S Bowler (£19.50) - Zara Taylor necklace

I'm MinkPink obsessed and fell in love with this baby while scouring the women's clothing section. I can imagine this colour working well in the Aussie summer but I also think it's great for our Winter. There are so many black velvet dresses around, it's nice to wear something a little different!


It fits really well but I'd like it to be a tad longer, I'm not sure I'd wear it without tights unless I was Australia of course (duh!). My necklace is an old one from Zara Taylor (as seen on Fearne Cotton), I don't think they sell it anymore which is a shame because it's cuuute.


Last but not least, my first ever Zatchels (£40)! This brand has such a huge hype around it so it was nice to finally get my paws on something of theirs. I thought this little barrel would work well with my dress so ordered it from Zalando at the same time. It's really well made and comes with a  little dustbag for safe keeping. I'd love to buy one of their satchels so I could compare it's competitors. Maybe Santa will bring me one?

  6. I really am in need of velvet things. But I have no money left in my broke student wallet :( But your dress, and the way you wore it is so perfect, I'm tempted to go into debt just to get some velvet into my closet!

  14. Ahhh everything about this dress makes me feel so happy, especially the colour. And I didn't know Zalando stocked Minkpink.. it's been added to my list of "check every day for new-in Minkpink" along with ASOS & UO.. Sad & obsessed. Sigh.
