Boutique Pick of the Week
In keeping with a trend of Autumn/Winter 2009 is this jumpsuit by Love Cole. Although we're approaching the colder months there's no reason not to carry on looking glamorous on your nights out; and this backless jumpsuit is exactly that. You'll be guaranteed to be noticed in this outfit. Also the metallic bow tie at the back is in keeping with the gladiator gold colour trend which is going around at the moment. At £75 this is a steal and a nice addition to your wardrobes.
Until next time, have a great week
