In the interests of full disclosure, I should probably admit that I wore this NW3 Military Dress (£149) for Afternoon Tea with the girls at The Petersham today. I absolutely adore every single element of this dress, from the incredibly right shade of emerald green to its amazing feminine shape (making it perfect if you want to accentuate those va-va-va-voom curves). I especially love the little flare on the skirt, and the bow around the waist, which means you can cinch it in to accentuate your shape. Plus, it's incredibly soft, making it feel more like you're wearing a hug than a dress. Teamed with bright red lipstick and a killer pair of heels, it's definitely the thing to wear if you're looking to make a (very) stylish statement.
Back to NW3, I love it's heritage. The name comes from Hampstead's post code, NW3 - the location of Hobbs' first store. The NW3 branding, namely a gold coin, is based on the original currency used in Hampstead a few centuries ago.The idea was to have regionalised currency so people would have to buy local and stay local..makes sense! The attention to detail is impressive, the NW3 coin is cleverly woven throughout dresses and jackets, into lining and stamped on buttons. I absolutely love this brand!
