Party season is nearly upon us and I've been thinking about what to wear, with Halloween celebrations, a couple of birthdays then of course Christmas and New Year I need something that is versatile , comfortable and my style!

Que the 'Angelique Purple Twin Set'* from Lindy Bop, this is a dress I can style for any celebration, occasion or event. The team at Lindy Bop kindly sent me this dress to style up and wear during the upcoming party season. Lindy Bop are a vintage style clothing brand who mainly stock vintage inspired dresses but they also have; skirts, trousers, shirts, bags and accessories. If you like the vintage or retro look then I'm sure you'll find something you love at Lindy Bop.


The Angelique twin set is made of a beautiful brocade fabric in my favourite colour, purple and is simple yet screams vintage style. The full swing skirt flows outwards without a petticoat but one can be worn for a full skirt look; I'd wear a petticoat for an evening event with this dress. With a matching crop jacket I don't have to think about what to match the dress with although the dress looks awesome without the jacket also but the colder months mean we need a cover up.


With my other Lindy dresses I found the fits to be true to size but I always check the size guides as some dress styles are different to others, with this Angelique I found it to be quite roomy so it's super comfortable to wear. The fastening is an easy back zip that lets you get in and out of the dress easily then the crop jackets has a press stud fastening with a feature button on the front.


For my styled look I wanted to bring a little bit of my favourite time of year... Halloween into the outfit. I decided to style the dress for a Halloween party but with a little elegance too. Adding a pair of my Iron Fist Boots with the bat wings and this gorgeous headband that came from Kiss Products as a gift; adding a pair of black tights for warmth and I'm ready for the Halloween celebrations.


Next month I have a Birthday party to attend so I could add some sparkly heels and a clutch to complete the look and bring a little more party to the outfit. I particularly like that I can wear the dress without the jacket as I think it looks great without it, the bow detail in middle really keeps the dress looking cute and retro.


I wanted my shoot location to show the autumn weather and nature which I think we captured here at Haigh Hall. I also had the idea of making the photos look a little old as if they were shot on film, I believe this adds to the vintage feel of the dress and the overall look.
