Of course I have been madly shopping for Christmas presents for the family at the moment – but hey – I am only human so a few goodies are sneaking into the bag just for me!!   This little number I think would be perfect for a Christmas day celebration.   The Katie Broderie Dress it is not too fitted – which will allow for expansion around the waistline after eating far too much food, it is off shoulder – which as you know is completely on trend at the moment, and of course the best bit – it has pockets!!   Everyone knows how much I love pockets….      On top of all that it was reasonably priced and I purchased it through a Melbourne based online business called Feather & Noise

FEATHER & NOISE was born in early 2013 by Alison Long and is focused on practical, easy, staple, timeless pieces for all women.  I was very impressed with the website and the services offered and would encourage you to check it out.

Of course the shoes are my favourite from Willow – they are so comfortable it is unbelievable and they also seem to magically go with every outfit I wear.   They dress up jeans and cargo pants, yet make dresses a little less girly and did I mention just how comfortable they are?!?!?  Seriously I could walk a marathon in these shoes.

One final note is the sunglasses – these are from Tiffany and were my much loved Christmas present from last year.   You just can’t go past a classic pair of sunnies so if in doubt spend the money and invest in a timeless pair that you can wear all year round.
