I was in Paris recently and made a trip into a store called Jay Ahr. I'd never heard of the designer before but they had some amazing dresses in stock, one of which I recognised as a design Cheryl Cole (or Fernandez-Virsini following her recent marriage) had worn at the X Factor 2014 Manchester auditions.

For those looking for an unusual dress I'd definitely consider giving Jay Ahr a look, although be prepared to spend some money as most were priced at around €900.

A few of my favourite designs are featured below and you can view the full collection at www.jayahr.com. I must admit I was very tempted as I have quite a few events coming up, but on this occasion I (just) managed to refrain!
