Havren has to be one of my favourite labels that I discovered this year……
You may remember when I sported that gorgeous sequined jumper earlier in the year here
Today I’m sharing with you this gorgeous fit and flare dress called Delilah which is such an easy dress to wear, and gives a very flattering shape. I love the deep rich wine coloured flowers laying on a base of black, but with hints of white that brings the dress to life.
I have chosen to wear a plain long sleeved rollneck to wear underneath. A bit of a copy really because this is how it’s worn on the website, and I thought it looked really good.
But how easy will it be to turn this from a day to night dress ? Or even wear to the office? A smart shirt underneath would be perfect, and loose the top underneath put on some sparklies ( I’m thinking a large statement necklace to sit in that V-shaped neckline ) and some evening shoes, you’re good to go partying or a dinner!
I decided to showcase beauty of a dress at Chiswick park today. I have teamed the outfit with classic black court shoes and added a little glam with my Bronze coloured clutch. It’s so beautiful here in the park and eerily quiet. In summer, this park is heaving with walkers, and it’s strange to feel like I have the park nearly to myself.
I love how the dress flares from the waist, the large pleating detail sits beautifly. There is a jacket on the website that pairs up with the dress here which has just gone into sale, so grab a bargain ladies !
That jacket will go with so much!
How beautiful are all the autumn colours?
I just managed to get this shot outside of Chiswick house. Then it started to pour down ! I was hoping to show you more but I got a proper soaking!
Please do take a look at the Havren site. There are some beautiful items on there for the party season, and it’s so nice to find something a little different. The dress is available in blue too as seen below
I look forward to hearing what you think of the dress, I love to recieve a comment and here from you. Or if yo wish you can subscribe to get every post sent to your inbox

Given I've got no waistline at the moment owing to being pregnant I'd love to be able to wear a dress like this! #bestandworst

Thank you Stephanie. I just got really lucky with some fabulous brands this year x
I really love the cut of the dress. The skirt lays so nicely and it's very flattering. I love the pattern and can see it go from the office to dinner quite easily. A statement necklace would look great in the v-neck of the dress.
Thank you Nikki. A statement necklace will look fab in the summer I agree x

Thank you Anna. This will be a hard worker ! So easy to wear too xx
My, my, my, Delilah, you truly are a temptress of a dress 🙂 I can see how this could be worn in a myriad of ways, Laurie, and I love it. Love love love.
On the blog today, I'm talking about the hush-hush topic of self-love. Yup. Me, myself and I. I'd love for you to come over and weigh in, and share your thoughts. It's interesting to note that despite it being the 21st century, and we're preaching confidence and empowerment, the subject still remains somewhat risque.

Nice look, Laurie, and it brightens up what became a rainy day. Great choice of location, though, but just how did you manage to walk on that grass in those lovely heels? Did you get wedged in?!
Ha ha! Thank you Mary ! I was waiting for that question! A great deal of balance I have to say! I'm used to it though, I only ever wear heels because I am short. Been wearing them since I was thirteen, so Iv'e had a lot of practice. x
Havren dresses are a bit of an undiscovered gem – very flattering. Love the berry shades on you. The backdrop is stunning!
Thank you Gail. They are a bit of a hidden gem I agree. And their sales are fantastic. It's really good quality too x
The dress is gorgeous and I do like the sound of the office version styling with a white shirt. I haven't heard of the brand but just looked at the jacket online. A bargain in the sale.
Isn't it Anna. It's really good quality clothing too. I have loved everything from the brand so far x
Love this dress on you & this shape on almost everyone! Looks fantastic

What a beautiful dress! So very elegant and feminine! And those shoes are stylish! Also love that park. England has got many beautiful parks and gardens!
Thank you Nancy! I really should make use of more of the gorgeous parks in London I have to say x
That's a really pretty dress, in both colours! Also I can visualize it in my mind if worn with white or black blouse. Have to mention, I love the deep wine colour!
Yes I agree. It will look great with white silk I think . Thank you x
It's a gorgeous dress, Laurie and you look stunning in it! The photos are to die for… especially the one just before you got soaked. One classy lady!

Thank you Jacqui. I am loving the Wine colours out there at the moment x
I really like how you've added the shirt under this dress Laurie (even if it is copying)…it makes me perfectly winterized! I hadn't heard of this company, but I'll be checking them out now!
The scenery you picked is quite gorgeous—sorry for the rain though! 🙂
