How is your week going so far? Half way to the weekend! The weather has turned pretty cold since Sunday and I’ve desperately been rooting around for something warm to wear.
So far I’ve rocked a jumper dress with tartan tights, and today my old faithful Zara Harem pants with a cropped faux leather jacket.
Dressing for cold weather is so much harder than when it’s warm don’t you think?
(kitty kisses from a doddery old Flash)
For the second part of this post I want to introduce you to the band Richard Parker
“Richard Parker is a four piece instrumental band from Leeds, united kingdom. we’re currently playing as many shows as we can and constantly working on new material so keep checking back for dates and new music. love.”
Based in Leeds these guys are pretty damn awesome. They are currently gigging a lot and need your support, so if your a Leeds local why not pop along and give them a listen?
Their facebook page gives information of all up-coming gigs as well as further developments from the band, it also links to their tumblr page and myspace account where you can listen to their music yourself.
I’m a fan, I’d love to hear what you guys think though (and I know the chaps would appreciate it too)
I’d love to hear what you think.
((and don’t forget you have till Saturday to enter my giveaway))
I love those black baggy pants. 🙂

I think it’s really difficult to dress at any time of the year in this country – you never know what it’s going to do!!
I LOVE Flash – look at his/her lovely stripes!!!
I love both outfits! But of course I love your tights. Summer is def more easier to dress for.
shot with the kitten is so adorable 🙂
you look really fierce in that second outfit dear! is that a bow tie? amazing!
here is still warm and i wish it was like there! so i could wear coats and knits! 🙂
that kitty kissis photo is plain adorable! LOVE.
Definitely agree that dressing for cold weather is harder than when it’s warm. I’ve never been very good at layering.
I heart you jacket from the last picture! and wow you’re looking so well :)))
I read your tweets on twitter, love it!
I love those tartan tights. I wish my cat would be willing to be photographed x
I love your second outfit! And look at it this way, at least you have different weathers to dress for:) Summer all year long isn’t fun, winter layering sounds good to me!
xoxo
wow, both those outfits are stunning!
i actually prefer dressing for cooler weather, because big knit sweaters (jumpers) and smart coats and jackets are my thing! i very much dislike summer clothing… i’m way too self-conscious. i’ve been known to wear full-length trousers and jeans in the hottest temps, so it’s a relief when it cools off enough to be comfortable 🙂
(stupid body dislike… when will i ever learn that it doesn’t matter? sigh…)
anyway i’m obsessed with glinty brooches and my fall and winter coats always get the royal treatment! and i love matching them up with smart scarves, tuques and mittens!
am i weird? totally! and embracing it 🙂
LOVE the harems with the leather jacket. You look great. I agree, dressing for winter is tough, its difficult to stay warm but look stylish. You have defs mastered it though by the looks of things!
Thanks for the lovley comment 🙂
Talk soon,
Cheri xxx
Love the harems and the tartan tights but most of all I love that picture of you and Flash! Isn’t his coat beautiful?
Richard Parker? Someone’s been reading The Life of Pi! xxx
Great outfit love the second one!
I loved both outfits!! Really, your style is perfect! But i must confess I really prefer cold weather and clothes to summer ^^ Well, we can’t always like the same things 😀
I’m also very curious about this Richard Parker project! I’ll try to hear their music, it sound very interesting`***
I like both outfits especially the first one with those tartan tights. I definitely agree that its much harder dressing for cold weather and I am so happy it is summer soon here because I have been terrible a creating outfits this winter. Its so much easier just to put on a pretty summer dress.
Love that jumper dress 🙂 and mega awww to the kitty 🙂
Following you now xx
You look lovely as always Laura!

I love both outfits! I am having this weird obsession for oversized jumpers lately, and it’s summer here in Brazil! lol
Your cat is cute! =)
xoxo
I love your second outfit c’est tres chic! i always end up looking like a bag lady in winter I never know what to wear and end up throwing a thousand layers on to keep me warm LoL!
hey your blog design is very nice, clean and fresh and with updated content, make people feel peace and I always like browsing your site.
– Thomas
The second outfit is classy 🙂
I’m struggling this week – 20 degrees on Monday and 6 degrees today!! What’s a girl to do?
Looking good, girl! Way sexy, and those harem pants on you? Look fantastic!
So much cuteness!
I’m a new follower of your blog and would love it if you’d take a look at mine. 🙂

Loving both looks – esp the hareem pants and leather jacket! you look drop dead gorgeous!
Second outfit rocks hun love the untied bow tie finishes the look off perfectly xoxo
I agree – I find it harder to dress for winter too, I never know what to wear to keep warm and toasty!
I tagged you for an award: http://pinkpoppolkadot.blogspot.com/2010/10/tuesday-treat.html xx
Love the dress! Amazing blog!

hello dear <3 i've missed you!
you look so beautiful. i love the tux/bowtie ensemble!
sending lovveee
You look so adorable in both outfits and I am completely in love with your tights!
It is starting to get cold here too… I love it for a little while, but I agree it is totally easier to get dressed when its warm out.
Hope all is well, hun!

I have the opposite problem to you, I love wrapping up for winter, and suffer so much when we get the 2 weeks of heat in the UK!
I’m such a creature of habit. In the summer, it’s sundress and shoes. In the winter, it’s boots and dresses or jeans and boots.
I like those tights..and I think all dresses should have pockets!
I actually kind of like dressing for the winter…I can wear more.
xx:)
i love your pants 😉
I love that big knit, very autumnal – you have got the best tights collection!

I really like the second look with that fantastic jacket.
Those tartan tights are amazing, but that second outfit, wow, you look amazing. The undone bow tie just finishes it off perfectly!
I love the pretty tights!
That’s such a great dress. I remember seeing you wearing it last winter but you look so much better in it now. Will check out the band. xx

Love both of these outfits 🙂 You look great dear!
Great looks! I’m in love with the tartan tights; but the faux leather jacket is beautiful as well.
Both wonderful outfits.
i absolutely love that second outfit, and personally i actually prefer dressing for winter because of my knitwear obsession 😀 x
Love that tux…very YSL!
You always look so great. I think it’s easiest to dress for fall. It’s not so hot that you don’t want to wear anything, but it’s not so cold that you just want to wear snowpants.
oh lovely, you look fabulous! I think you look your best now ever since I have known you- I hope you don’t mind me saying that 🙂
lots of love, xxx
lovely oufit and blog 🙂
cute boots! and the leather jacket is really great:)))
check out my blog http://rayabo.blogspot.com/
I myself prefer design for cold weather, I only have only a little problem with dresses sometimes…
Love your outfits!

I love dressing for winter – its my favourite fashion season! Those tartan tights are fab!
i love those tartans, you tights queen! but i absolutely love it when it goes cold and crisp like this, i like whacking on a micture of prints and textured layers to keep me warm. x
Love the outfits, esp the tights! and I’d have to agree that it’s definitely harder to choose outfits in autumn/winter but i love layered looks so i always enjoy it!
Love the pic of the cat – it’s a big cutie 🙂

I love dressing for warm weather and not having to show so much skin, hehe.
LOVE what you did with that bow tie. Such a freaking cool look!
I love every single pair of shoes you wear!
Happy Thursday!
Those tights are super fun!
I’m definitely caught off guard by the cold weather. I gotta dig out my winter clothes!
Love both outfits, especially the first one! I’ll definitely check out Richard Parker too!
you look so cool, i really like the leather jacket on you so edgy!!
Lovely cat <3

You look rad! I love the second look so much, Harems are rad, but so hard to pull off… Great look! Love your blog, and thanks for the ultra sweet comment! Just did a new post too, if you were interested. Thanks again! panda xo
i love the drop crotch pants with the undone bow tie outfit… sweet! i personally think it is easier to dress when it’s warm too. i’m always amazed at all the people that can’t wait til it gets cold so they can layer. not me! hope you are doing well sweet thing.
