OOTD

This outfit was from last week, but i felt really unconfident at the time, I was modelling some of my sisters jewellery for her, and wore my yellow shoes to photograph them ready to sell.

But after a few days I have taken a look back at them and I like how i look, and love the dress, which I snapped up in the New Look sale for £12.

This dress is so comfy, the big store in stevenage still has them in the sale so snap one up if you can.

No Idea what I am looking at, but the picture made me smile. 

My fabulous sister has just made me a cuff similar to this one but in silver with green beads, it is divine and I will wear it with an outfit this week to show it off, I am still so so proud of her. xx

OOTD

Just a quick outfit post from this weekend, Had a crazy day yesterday, clearing the garden, and tidying up the house, so spent the whole day in joggers and t-shirts (High Fashion I know).

But I thought I would show you how I looked on saturday in the ridiculously popular swallow dress from New Look, it has taken the blogging world by storm, I picked mine up in the sale last week, and I have to say it is ridiculously comfortable, I teamed it with black tights and coral coloured flats also from the sale.

My other half chopped my head off, whoops :)

I liked this photo!

Dress - Newlook (sold out)

Coral Flats - Newlook £6

I hadn't planned on buying the dress, as so many had already blogged it, but for £12 i just couldn't say no, and I am glad i didn't.

What did you all get up to this weekend, was it as exciting as my dump runs and cleaning?

Simply Be Review 2

Zandra Rhodes Vintage Print Dress.

This is the second item sent to me by Simply Be for review, I chose this dress, as I fell instantly in love with the colour! Anything green or purple and I am hooked!

On the model the sleeves hit her half way between wrist and elbow, but on me the hit me on my wrist which I wasn't keen on, but as I always have a cardigan on even in summer, this isn't a problem for me, just be aware of it, if you are short like me.

Dress - Zandra Rhodes Vintage Print Dress for Simply Be

Cardigan - Marks and Spencer (very old)

Tights - 100Denier Tesco

Boots - Wide Fit Next

I chose to wear it for a day out christmas shopping and having some lunch with my other half, so I wore my old Marks and Spencer wrap cardigan, my Evans belt, thick tights and my biker boots. 

The dress comes with a separate green slip as the material is very sheer and it has adjustable straps, my husband laughed at how excited this made me, but I have very short shoulders and straps on dresses always need to be tied or shortened.

The pattern looks very red in the pictures but it is very dark almost purple/red, I originally wore it with dark plum coloured tights from Evans but as they fell apart in less than 2 hours I went back to my trusty  Tesco 100 Denier Tights!

I felt really pretty and relaxed all day in the dress I also tried it with my black polo neck jumper under and it looked good with it too, so has lots of options for both winter and summer wear.

I also love that It can easily be dressed up with some heels for a night out.

As my only negative with this dress was the length and looseness of the sleeves at the wrist, which I can easily fix with a bit of creativity I would recommend this dress as the colour is so so pretty!

You will get to see me all dressed up next week with make up and nice hair for my wedding anniversary, and my final review piece for Simply Be.

Tights Glorious Tights!

Autumn is her and I can feel winter on its way! This makes me ridiculously happy.

Winter has always been my favourite time of the year, I love to be warm in layers of clothing and boots, and and the lovely @katyme on twitter asked me to do a blog about tights.

I am just starting to look for some gorgeous tights for my winter wardrobe so I can still wear my skirts and dresses through the winter months without freezing to death!

These are a few of my favourites that I have found so far.

Yours Clothing are offering some gorgeous fashionable tights at the moment, I love these Black Sheer Side Slash Look tights and at £8 I think they are a fab addition to my wardrobe. 

These Suspender Tights are a fabulous plus size alternative to the house of holland tights, I cant wait to get these on!

Evans Purple Pointelle Tights, They are purple what more can I say!

This pair of Floral Lace Tights from Evans could make a simple pencil skirt look amazing.

As could these Paisley Net Patterned Tights.

Again from yours these Black Studded Tights are gorgeous, make me think of rock chic or a little nod to the fetish trend this year.

Now for coloured tights the best place seems to be WE Love Colours, So many bloggers have raved about them that I will be making an order as soon as I can, they have 51 colours to chose from in the plus range and they also do stripped, patterned and leggings, go take a look the choices and brilliant.

My search for fabulous tights will continue and if I find more I will pass on the information.
