Easily Suede with TTYA x Long Tall Sally
Jumper & Skirt: c/o TTYA x Long Tall Sally new collection | Fringed Boots: Quiz
Tall ladies, you really must check out the collection if you’re after some serious style this season that won’t leave you flashing your knickers to the world (it happens to me far too often, true story). There’s a stunning suede shift dress and some seriously snazzy chevron prints just landed…you can check it out here!
This outfit was also the perfect excuse to pop on my new ankle boots from Quiz which work wonderfully with this outfit. I recently won a styling competition with Quiz and the second I saw these fringed boots on the site I knew they were mine…did I need ANOTHER pair of ankle boots? Well, no, not really but they do work exceptionally well with this look.
Anyway, back to the brand of the moment…Long Tall Sally just get better and better in my eyes. Over the last few years they’ve become more fashion focused and my go-to place for investment pieces. If I’m going to splurge above Primark prices on clothes I want something that is designed to fit right as well as look good! Have you bought from the TTYA collaborations yet? I dare you to resist this one…

Introducing Gray & Willow at House of Fraser
I especially love the cocoon coat and the leather skirt both of which are perfect investment pieces and made for teaming up with the oh-so-soft looking knitwear available.
I’m really excited to see more from Gray & Willow, if this debut collection is anything to go by then we are in for treat upon treat in seasons to come.
