1 – what do you love about this dress?
“I think this is the prettiest dress I have ever worn! I felt like a (sexy) princess wearing it! It’s a very flattering shape and the sequins really make it stand out.”
2 – what is your top styling tip for the season?
“The cold weather is the perfect opportunity to wear tights! The possibilities are infinite: colorful, with patterns, with lace…
They’ll keep you warm whilst giving you a very feminine look. So choose a pretty dress, skirt or shorts and show your beautiful legs to the world.”
3 – why did you start a fashion blog and what do you love about blogging?
“One of my favorite activities is reading fashion blogs. One day I thought “why not be a fashion blogger too? I think I can do it.”
So it was kind of a personal challenge, I wanted to prove to myself I could do it. And now I have been blogging for a few months and I love it! I love to share bits of my personal life with my readers and it’s very pleasant to know they like my style and my clothing choices. I find all the positive feedback i receive from them very rewarding. “
We love the LBD at jones + jones!
This Sunday celebrates legendary French Fashion Designer Coco Chanel’s 130th Birthday and here at jones + jones HQ we plan to pay homage to the Little Black Dress icon this weekend! The LBD was originally made popular in the 1920′s by Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel and has since gone on to become the epitome of fashion. Of course black dresses existed long before this time but until it wasn’t until Chanel introduced black as a fashion colour that it became popular (before this black was typically seen as a sign of mourning!) Chanel intended for the LBD to be versatile, long lasting and accessible to the widest possible audience; she believed any woman could wear one regardless of her social status or size!
Not only is a LBD flattering on all woman it can also take you from function to function whilst keeping you looking effortlessly chic! Here at jones + jones we stock a variety of LBD’s and we have one for all occasions. Our newest LBD is the oh-so-sophistacted Valerie dress, with luxurious couture lace, a scalloped hem, nipped in waist and fitted pencil skirt, this dress ensures a chic silhouette and is the perfect dress to take you from Autumnal days to evenings.
If the Valerie dress doesn’t take your fancy then why not try the gorgeous new Vivienne Dress…with a sweetheart bodice, a full and flirty skirt and a daring deep ‘V’ back this dress is perfect for the party season upon us!
We also have the stunning new Laura dress which features matt sequins, a sheer fitted bodice and cap sleeves. This dress has the perfect amount of glitz!
Coco Chanel once said: “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” Once you’ve found the perfect LBD for you, you’ll certainly feel both classy and fabulous! The jones + jones team plan to celebrate Chanel’s birthday in style and what better way to do so than wearing our favourite little black jones + jones dresses this weekend..
With love, jones + jones team x

For something a little more girly and flirty take inspiration from actress Ginnifer Goodwin who wore this gorgeous white lace fit and flare dress with half sleeves to a red carpet event recently.

Steal their style in the stunning new Stephanie Dress!…
Prepare to turn heads this summer in the neckline of the season… the daring plunging deep V! This statement style has been spotted on our office style crush Rihanna, who looked stunning in a black, risqué, slashed to the navel gown at the 2012 Grammy awards. While Jennifer Lopez approached the trend with a more demure look in a long sleeved peach Grecian gown at the LA premiere of her new film What To Expect When You’re Expecting. Both ladies kept their accessories minimal and let the statement neckline do the talking…
Steal their sizzling summer style with the new jones + jones Stephanie dress! Combining a slashed neckline, fitted waistband and sequin body con skirt, this dress is perfect for taking you from day to night this season. Available in both black and soft peach, this dress has the whole office lusting after it!…
For a gorgeous finishing touch, we recommend adding a shimmering metallic box clutch and we love this gold one from Karen Millen, which is not only oh-so-stylish but versatile too with it’s detachable strap…

jones + jones in the DCU Fashion Show!…x
We were so excited to be part of the amazing DCU Fashion Show for the second year running last Tuesday! The event, sponsored by Diet Coke amongst others, showcased modelling and design talent from across Ireland as well as collections from top high street brands ranging from Zara to H&M, Jack & Jones to jones + jones!…
The theme of the show was ‘High Tech Heritage’, which chairperson of DCU Style Society, Susan Gorman, described as a celebration of ’…our fast-changing, internet and media rich world merged with the rebirth of vintage clothing’. From the sparkling sequins on the Julia Dress to the edgy structuring of the Nicky Dress, the full and flirty forties and fifties inspired skirts to the on-trend textural florals, we think that the gorgeous selection of garments showcased from our S/S 2012 collection perfectly encapsulated the theme alongside the projections and social media used.
A huge thank you to all of the stunning models and a special thank you to Aoife Fitzgerald and our fantastic Concession Managers in Dublin, Aimee Harden and Zara Andrews! You can find all the stunning dresses on our website here and in our amazing concessions in select Topshop stores including Topshop in the Jervis Shopping Centre and in St Stephens Green in Dublin!

A stunning Aintree Races outfit idea by our guest blogger from We Shoot Down The Stars For Our Enjoyment!
Last but definitely not least of our week of fabulous guest bloggers, we have one of the members of our amazing Topshop concession team in Liverpool, Sophie, who is also a blogger at We Shoot Down The Stars For Our Enjoyment, letting us know her idea for a perfect Aintree Races outfit!…
Name: Sophie Harry
My Blog: We Shoot Down The Stars For Our Enjoyment http://weshootdownthestarsforourenjoyment.blogspot.co.uk/
I’ve been blogging since… October 2010
My favourite thing about blogging is… it allows anyone no matter what fashion background they’re from to have an opinion in such a huge industry.
Three words that describe my style are… eclectic creative experimental
If I had a pair of dazzling Cinderella Rocked Her Fella Swarovski Court Shoes I would pair them with… the gorgeous jones + jones Julia dress for Ladies’ Day at Aintree Races!
I wanted to create a look inspired by Blair Waldorf meets Carrie Bradshaw. Jones and Jones dresses are statement pieces in themselves so its easy to accessorise them. I chose nude shades to emphasise the colours in the dress and bring out the sparkle in the shoes. I love the headband as it helps to bring together a girly yet glamorous outfit without trying too hard.
A huge thank you to Sophie for her oh-so-pretty Aintree Races outfit idea! You can find the jones + jones Julia Dress in patchwork sequins on our website here and in our concessions in select Topshop stores including the L1 Shopping Centre in Liverpool, the chic clutch is available on ASOS here and click here for the gorgeous ‘Vintage Jewel Headband’ from ‘Her Curious Nature’!
Sophie’s gorgeous outfit idea rounds up a week full-to-the-brim with couture hats to visors, pastels to glitter and of course crystal encrusted courts and full and flirty dresses! Thank you to all of our amazing guest bloggers for their inspiring outfit ideas for Ladies’ Day at Aintree Races!
We hope you have a fabulous weekend!
With love, jones + jones and We Shoot Down The Stars For Our Enjoyment xx
