A Smile & A Ribbon




Dress - H&M / Hairbow - Astrid & Miyu / Necklace - Gogo Philip / Ring - Primark / Bracelet - Topshop

I was planning to wear this for Chloe's birthday but that was the one day that everything was covered in snow. So both our pretty dresses were substituted for jumpers & leggings. Its a bit warmer today so I figured I would just wear it today instead. I've seen this dress from H&M doing the rounds on loads of blogs but its with good reason because its so flattering. I couldn't resist buying the black version as well. H&M is definitely my shop of choice at the moment. I ended up buying two pairs of shorts from there because all I could find in Topshop were high waisted hotpants. I know they're 'on trend' but they really aren't the most flattering shape for my hips. Plus the H&M ones were half the price of the ones in Topshop!

My hair is still nicely pinkified, mainly because I remembered to add a bit of dye to my conditioner again. I dyed my hair lilac last summer but it only lasted one wash so this time round I'm gonna get an empty bottle and fill it with premixed dye & conditioner to keep my hair looking vibrant. Since I dyed it pink I've been wearing lots more hair accessories. Today I'm wearing this absolutely gorgeous satin hairbow that I was sent by Astrid & Miyu. I don't think I've seen a girlier or prettier bow out there, this one is so perfect. I love how it matches my hair colour too.

I'm just about to pop out to Asda now for some food shopping. I saw that they've reduced their Cadbury's chocolate eggs to 50p! But I will be avoiding them like the plague. I've decided that I now hate Easter because people just keeping throwing chocolate at you from left, right & centre. Its started to make my teeth hurt so I binned half the stuff we had in the cupboards. Its a sad day when chocolate no longer makes you happy!
