I am going out on Friday for my best friend Laura's birthday, and I have been looking in my wardrobe for the last week trying to decide what to wear. After checking my bank balance and finding it a bit healthier than i expected (how often does that happen) I decided to go look for a dress. Above is what I ended up buying.

My hair is shiny and new and I'm looking forward to letting my hair down. I don't know if I will wear the shoes by they were half price from F&F. At only £5 I decided to buy them anyway as I thought they are pretty cute. I found the Dress in Peacocks It was originally £22 but it had £5 off so I only ended up paying £17. It is a pretty tight fit but I love the floaty bottom/skirt as it will hide my fat. The detail on the top of the dress is pretty and as it is so close to Christmas this dress will also be good for any other parties or events that happen.

The red top I found in a charity shop before the dress, Its simple and pretty and I figured that if I could not find a dress I could at least wear something new at only £3  its a bargain. I needed a new bra and This one from Asda was £8 (i think) and though its pretty steep for a single bra I love the detail and it fits my large boobs well!

I also found this pink Jewelry/trinket box in the charity shop, its only £2 but I fell in love with it and will be putting all my bits in it tonight. The last pic is of a new christmas bauble I found in asda, I picked up 2, they are £2 each, but just cute and with the stars inside the ball, they are fun but pretty at the same time.

Bank balance back to normal now, so will enjoy my buys as they will prob be the last big spend I am able to give myself for a while :(

LK Bennett - Jazz Sequin Evening dress in Gold £325
LK Bennett - Louise Lace Sleeves dress in Black £245
Reiss - Tali Sparkle dress in Sage Green £189
River Island - Dusty Pink & Grey Fish Tale dress £120
River Island - Cream Belted dress in White £60


I have looked at these dresses with some lust and while the last one is quite a reasonable price the rest are beyond my means, but this does not mean that I can not dream of them. Ive never been a huge dress person, but in later years my tastes have started to change.

The first one is from LK Bennett and is also available in black, but whereas I would normally prefer the black on this occasion the gold one is the winner for me, I can just see it perfectly at a cocktail function or party especally around the Christmas period, not too revealing but form fitting and a beautiful addition to my imaginary wardrobe!

My next choice is also a LK Bennett dress, this one is more for black tie events or even *god forbid* funerals, its simple and classic but the neck line and lace sleeves give this a bit more of a fresh fell to  a little black dress number.

My third dress is from Reiss and for some random reason I love it, I normally hate green and also I normally hate abstract lines, but for some reason on this dress it just adds to it. The angular lines and cuts on the hem makes this a dress that I could imagine wearing to a friends party or even to events such as christening and wedding as it is unconventional and yet simple and stunning.

I love this fish tale dusky pink number from River Island, it reminds me of 1920s style and almost reminscent of a flapper dress without the irritating fringe and tassles. I think it would cover a multitude of sins on the legs and look great at pretty much any occasion. I could see it teamed with a white shrug and some cream mary jane shoes, and for me I like the fact that I can picture a whole outfit.

Finally another River Island choice and this is a White dress with a diamante belt, that helps to break up the dress and draw the eye. I would love to own a white dress, however as I am an accident prone boob (sorry there is no other description for me) it would be dirty or ruined in a matter of minutes. I always look for a simple white dress that could rival the little black dress and I think this one is classy and simple, and the long arms make it elegant and yet not too plain.

If I had the money (and the body) I feel that I would have a stylish wardrobe, alas for now, I shall put away my dreams for more important things, such as food.

So I already mentioned the amazing John Lewis Press event, and this is part of the same event but I have decided to dedicate it on its own. I have to say that I loved the shoes, for anyone who reads this and knows me they know that I love glitter and shoes, so when those two things combine they make my day!

The fashion choices were stunning and most of all I loved the Black figure hugging dress with silver glitter (yes glitter again) over bust and shoulder area. I also really liked the pink, silk almost wrap around style dress that was elegant and beautiful.

The best bit was certain items in hanging balls (I only have a pic of a shoe) that just added a real element of fun to the whole section. It was really nice that the mannequins were placed so that I could walk right the way around them and get a good overall view.

Once again John Lewis has not disappointed, and If I was thin enough to wear these clothes then I would break out my credit card and buy them tomorrow.

1. A pair of skin colored tights with a almost floral motif and gold spackles.
2. A pair of black sparkly peep toe stilettoes.
3. Beautiful Eye make up, that follows the sparkly theme of the shoes in a glitter purple & blue.
4. 1993 Dior bracelet, I adore this and would kill to own it.
5. Pierre Balmain, 1950 style dress, with feathers beads and in a stunning color.
6. Ciate nail varnish in either the black or while, it has deep sparkles.
7. 2010 Prada bag, Its a see-through black bag that is just adorable.
8. Topshop, bootshoe stilettoes with swirl pattern and pink glitter frosting.

Okay, so above is a set of pictures of things that if I had enough money I would buy. To be truthful, I'm not exactly fashion savvy, but It doesn't stop me finding things that I can drool over. Lack of technical terms and colors aside, I put in as much as I could about the above Items that I will have dreams about. I love to look at fashion, and I am partial to more vintage items at the moment, especially dresses, however when it comes to shoes I generally like modern.

As you can tell I like shiny and glittery things, If I was ever reincarnated I do believe I would come back as a magpie! I'm not personally into lots of color, hence why my choices are more safe, blacks, whites, beige. When I like color I like it on my eyes or on my shoes even in a handbag. If you looked in my wardrobe you would mostly find this theme, very few bright tops & lots of sparkles.
