Valentines Day is a brilliant day to dress up in your finest, whether your celebrating with your other half, your family or your friends
Choker - Regal Rose

Ankle Boots - Asos
I spent Valentines Day at the boyfriend's in Essex, and we had a lovely, relaxed day that consisted of going to the cinema (no we did not go and see 50 Shades of Grey, I'd rather bathe in my own vomit) and then out for a lovely meal at The Rose in Brentwood where Kurtis had booked a table.
It was very chilled but very romantic and it was lovely to spend some quality time togethe.
For a Valentines Day such as this, I didn't want to be too overdressed, but still wanted to look like I'd made an effort, so this combo was perfect.
I've has the bardot top since Summer, and even though it's nothing special on its own, it can add a formal, elegant twist to an outfit. There's something about having the decolletage on show that I think is actually quite sexy. I obviously had to grunge things up a bit with my Regal Rose choker.
Where to begin with the skirt! I was lazily scanning the H&M sale one evening when this gem showed up. It was the only thing in the sale worth a second glance and it had to be mine. The word 'mermaid' has been thrown around on a few occasions in reference to my hair, so I thought it was apt that I owned this skirt, reminiscent of a mermaid's tail. There's more colour in this skirt than all the 'colourful' things I own put together.
After finding the holy grail of sale items, I'd caught the bug and was on the hunt for the perfect pair of shoes to go with it. My lucky streak was not yet over, because I soon came across these beastly boots. The subtle crocodile skin texture contrasts brilliantly with the skirt, whilst continuing the reptilian theme.
These two items only came to £33, which is an absolute bargain when you consider I've got a whole new outfit out of them. I can't wait to play around with this skirt some more. I'm thinking some fishnet tights next.
To finish the whole look off, I found this Barry M nail varnish that matched the skirt brilliantly. You can't tell in the pictures, but it's actually quite iridescent, even though it does have a matte finish. This is from Barry M's Silk Nail Effects collection in Forest.
