This Wednesday sees the start of my Nine West x Pose ’Style Challenge’, Blog Reader!
Each Wednesday for nine weeks I will be creating a different outfit around the same pair of shoes – the MsFabulous sandal. You can check out my outfits on the Nine West Pose page (be sure to sign up and follow!) where I will be competing against another ‘poser’ each week.
Click on the image below to link to Pose (also available as an app for Iphone and Android). Pose is a platform to discover fashion, where posers can upload outfits and tag items in their ensemble (a category of clothing or a brand) and share their style within the community. (I’m a little bit addicted, I confess…)
You can vote for your favourite style (all votes pour moi will be very much appreciated if you should like my outfit!) and this action automatically enters you into a competition for a chance of winning the shoes for yourself.
For my first outfit I chose a style I am quite comfortable with (and I am sure you all are familiar with this now, Blog Reader, ‘the dress’.) A short while ago I introduced you to Three Floor Fashion and this Hidden Gems Midi Dress is a true diamond from their current summer collection. I think the shoes compliment the pleats and nude/lace front panel perfectly.
My Bordelle Leather ‘O’ Bracelet completes the outfit. Let the challenge commence!
Wearing: Leather ‘O’ bracelet from Bordelle; Hidden Gems Dress from Three Floor Fashion and MsFabulous heels from Nine West.
Special thank you for the wonderful Lydia Hudgens for the photography.
Nine West approached me to take part in this challenge and are sponsoring my stylish efforts. I decided to take on this challenge as I am a fan of Nine West, having purchased several of their styles in the past. You’ve likely seen me wearing Nine West before, for example here and here. For this challenge however Nine West supplied me with these shoes free of charge and I’m sharing this with you because it’s a little different to my usual features. And so now, let the styling fun commence!
PS Please note my deep red nails on this shoot. My very first manicure after years of nail biting (Merci Anne who treated me!) Or at least: Mum please note my deep red nails on this shoot – yes I am finally all grown up

I’ll vote for you! I love that dress btw, very interesting chest piece!
But, how do we find you on there?
Hello and thank you so much for your comments! It’s easy if you are using the phone app. You can do a search for NineWest (@ninewest) and find me there later today x
The shoes are great, what a fun challenge! Oh and the dress…it is fantastic on you. Of course I love how you are using color (in the dress and the nails!) and the shape of your dress is great for you.
I’m a little short waisted I think and I loved how the waist and the pleats were situated with this dress. I’m glad you’re enjoying all my colour Lissy – you were indeed part of the inspiration for it!
The dress, shoes, and manicure are all STUNNING!! Best of luck with the challenge my friend, you dominate all things Pose with aplomb. I just love the color mixed with the snake print, inspired outfit and perfect for you.
The lady @Ritournelleblog was a perfect manicure partner too. I’m back to French nails for the time being but I can see a bit of experimentation with colour very soon….!
You have my vote for sure – this dress is all kinds of amazing on you & yay for your first manicure…it suits you well!
Yay indeed. I’ve been looking out for you on pose too – great to see you there!
love the lace detailing!!

It’s a gorgeous panel across the front. Very bold but the nude panel protects my modesty. I think it’s a great design all round – thanks so much for stopping by!
You look gorgeous honey! I have my eye on a pair of Nine West silver heeled sandals but they didn’t go in the sale!
I own several pairs of Nine West shoes so I was really pleased to be asked to take part in this challenge! I have a gold pair that have lasted for years. Which silver sandals are you thinking of?
um, i am in LOVE LOVE LOVE with that dress! and the shoes are fantastic! i have pose as an app on my iphone but i’ve yet to use it!!! now i may have to give it a try! & vote for you, of course!

Thank you Jen! xx
I LOVE the shoes – and even better that you’ve paired it with Three Floor. xx
South Molton St Style
I would have to say, I would have never thought of pairing a snake print shoe with this dress but I LOVE combination!!
Let’s just say there were a lot of clothes thrown around my room trying out different styles
Thanks for visiting the blog! x
That dress is amazing! The lace in the front…. to die for.

I adore that front panel. Super design – do you know of Three Floor Fashion?
I love the snake print heels with this look! I adore the lace and the pleats on the skirt, so sweet and fun too!
Good luck with the challenge!

Thanks Christy!
Of course it’s no secret how much I love this dress – the last time you posted about 3 Floor Fashion, I filled an imaginary online cart with half of their collection (this dress included!) Since the contents of the cart weren’t exactly in my current non-existent budget, I’m so glad that I can live vicariously through you as you wear this absolute gem. It looks even more lovely on you than it did on the model, you somehow breathe a new life into it! And I love that even though it’s such a unique piece, you paired it with a unique shoe, as well. I’m very intrigued by Pose – must investigate. Of course you already know you’ll have my vote
xox,
Cee
PS: It really is a shame we don’t live closer to each other – when I’m not rewatching Yes Minister, I’m usually catching up on Keeping Up Appearances and and As Time Goes By. Although I was raised in Canada, I come from a long line of Brits and a few things (quirks?) have been passed down through the generations
Cee I think you would like Pose so you’ll have to let me know if you register for the site. I remember your comments on Three Floor before, it’s a very feminine, dreamy collection this summer and I think this style appeals to us both. I don’t know if they run sales but if they do I’ll be sure to tell you about any I hear of.
So, video night at mine in the future, yes?
Gorgeous dress piece. I definitely love the chest design. Good luck and I will check out Pose to vote for you. BTW, how awesome is it that Nine West approached you directly. I would definitely be honored as I am sure you are as well.
I was and the fact that this challenge is a lot of fun is great. I’m slightly worried I will run out of ideas mind you so watch this space! Thank you for stopping by, I love to read all the comments and hear from new visitors and blogs… hope you stop by again soon!
Good lord this is stunning. This silhouette on you is perfection. Attention women everywhere: The bar has officially been raised 10 pegs.
Why thank you kindly my style crush Mr Harrington! Enjoyed reading your replies to your style feature, I want you back here again soon of course!
that dress is just amazing .. love the pleated pattern and the color combination is beautiful… looking stunning as always.. oh, and love the length of this dress! best of luck! Voting right now! xo
Cam I read your lovely comment as well as your vote – thanks so much! xx
LOVE this dress! Three Floor has the most amazing dresses
Faith – I couldn’t agree more!
I absolutely adore this dress!!!!!!!
Hi Shira – isn’t it great? There are a few styles in the summer collection I was attracted to but the lace panel at the front made this very unique. Did you have a favourite from the label?
this is definitely my favorite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow that dress is gorgeous! The lace, pleats and flowiness are wonderful.
Those heels are so versatile. I can see them being featured in a lot of your outfit posts.
And congratulations on your very first manicure
Keep it up, SOTC. I will get Anne to report to me if anything should… happen lol.
I think Anne is pretty much keeping my nails in check! Right now I have a french manicure but I’m thinking a little more colour will be nice to experiment with. I shall have to go back to your blog for ideas too. x
You are just breathtaking in this dress! Good luck with the challenge!
PS: Love the red nails. So feminine.
Hey V! I love it when you stop by…. how was Australia? The photos looked amazing. It’s so great to have nails again finally. I can see a whole series of manicure posts lol! xo
