A worthy cause

A while ago the lovely Chloe of Life's Big Canvas started up an indiegogo project to raise funds to make one of her cat sketches into a necklace.

There were several different contributions you could give to help Chloe get to her goal and depending on what you were able to give she was kind enough to give you a perk.
I really loved the design and couldn't wait for it to be made into a necklace so i was more than happy to contribute and the perk for me was that i would get a finished necklace.
Chloe met her goal and the necklaces where sent out last week along with a very sweet thank you card!
Here is the necklace i love it so much.

How cute is the necklace ?! Its the perfect length for me and i can see me wearing it with everything!

If you want to get your hands on one of these beauties click here yours for £12.

Chloe has tweeted a sneak peek of her next design and i for one can't wait to get my hands on one!

You can see Chloe's next design here.

The one where i have to cheat

Its time for the out of my comfort zone challenge this week and todays challenge had 3 elements,jeans,orange and floral. Its probably no great surprise that i had to emit the jeans from the challenge as i don't own any but i did find orange and floral in one dress!

The jeans were supposed to be full jeans no shorts i could have bent the rules and worn my denim shorts but i wore those for the last omcz challenge so i didn't just want to be wearing the same thing for a second challenge running. So i decided to take the jeans part out and wore my lovely Clements Ribiero dress which i got a while ago in the sale at Evans i have blogged about it before here.

I wore this out to dinner with friends and it was really comfy to wear i haven't worn it in so long so I'm glad the challenge came up and it finally got a second outing.

I wore it with black tights and my New Look cardigan  as it was quite chilly out and a belt i got with some other dress.

Here's my who's the girl who couldn't fulfil the challenge face

This dress i got in the sale and bought the only size that was left so without a belt it is far too big but i like to loose look when its belted.

I also wore the lovely necklace which the lovely Lucy sent me i love snow white and this has all seven dwarfs on it! i love it so much a big thank you to Lucy :)

Check out the other ladies who I'm sure have been more successful in this challenge.

I hope your all having a lovely week thanks as always for stopping by to read :)

Leopard body con

I have developed a serious thing for body con dresses recently, they are like wearing a giant hug. I love the way they hug your body and your shape and i think they look great on.

While i was browsing asos late night i came across this leopard print body con dress it was only available in a size 20 and i wasn't sure that it would fit but i added it to my basket then consulted twitter to see if i could get away with a size smaller than my usual. After some positive feedback on the fit and the dress i decided to go ahead and buy it.

It was £22 in the sale, it came a few days later and i fell in love. The size 20 fit although i guess my usual size would have been perfect this was a nice fit so i decided to keep it.
The leopard print fades down to black at the bottom of the sleeves and the dress which makes it a bit different to my usual all leopard print dresses.

Some people may not be confident with body con as it does cling to your body so it shows off my vbo(visible belly outline) but i have a belly which i happen to think is pretty cute so why hide it ?
So how do you feel about body con love or hate them?

Maxi stripes

I have wanted a striped maxi for ages but i haven't been able to find one. While i was shopping last week with Lolly and Lisa i spotted a striped maxi dress at the edge of the Inspire section in New Look i  picked it up and saw it was a size 18 which would usually be way to small for me but it wasn't from inspire it was from the maternity section!

I decided to try it on anyway and it fit with loads of room so i bought it. The dress is online here i got the 18 but i think that depending on how fitted you wanted it you could get away with this dress up to a size 24/26. The only problem with this dress is the belt loops are really low on the dress i assume because your "bump" should be there but I'm just going to tie the belt higher and snip off the loops.

I wore this dress to go out for breakfast and do some shopping with the hubby, it was really comfy and light to wear. I can tell its going to be perfect for the summer.

I added my black cardigan as it was a little chilly out and a pair of Primark pumps which you can't see as I'm a shorty so the dress goes right to the floor.

The hubby was looking very cute in his outfit so i snapped a picture of him too. 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

XOXO

Just a quickie

Kissy Kiss

I was having a look through eBay a week or so ago and i spotted this cute lips pint dress from asos curve but at a bargain price of £7.99!
I didn't buy it straight away as i was unsure if i really loved it but then i remembered that the lovely Lolly had blogged about it and looked soo cute so i decided to go ahead and buy it.

It was only available in a size 24 so i got it in that size and hoped that it would fit. It was a little big but i added a belt that i got from another dress and i think it looked great.
I really love the print on this dress the pink lips and polkadots go so well together. The dress is made from a thin jersey material so it will be great for the summer.

I wore this outfit to work last week, i added some tights and my Tesco cardigan and the black belt to give the dress some shape as its a little big.

I have been doing some spring cleaning in my dressing room and have a few bits for sale on my sale blog so check it out here.

I love this dress its amazing have you got any eBay bargain recently?

XOXO

90's vibe

I went shopping on good Friday with my hubby to Doncaster i had been back in January with the girls and found lots of great shops and sales so i thought I'd try my luck again. It didn't disappoint!
I popped into New Look and found 2 pairs of shorts in the sale in a size 24 so i quickly hurried to the changing room to try them on.
Here is one pair i got for £9 in the sale in a size 24. I real love these shorts and they remind me of the coloured jeans you used to see in the 90's.

These shorts are stretch denim with one button and zip to fasten them, they are really comfy too.

I wore these the day after i bought them to go and see my mum as i couldn't wait to get them on.

I paired the shorts with my sheer shirt which i got from the fat swap and a Primark cami underneath. It was windy out so i wore my New Look cardigan and Tesco tights to keep me warm. I adore these shorts and can't wait till the weather gets better so i can wear them all them time.

I'm so in love with shorts at the minute i actually now have 7 pairs and one on its way to me! If your lucky enough to be off work today i hope you have a fabulous bank holiday :)

XOXO
