Putting On The Glitz

Dress - Motel / Ring - Me & Zena
Every year I find it a struggle to decide on the perfect Christmas party dress. My search has come to an end thanks to Motel sending me this beautiful sequin dress. Anything sparkly or velvet normally goes right to the top of my list and this dress ticks both of those boxes. I sometimes have to avoid sequined clothes because they make me itch but this dress has such a thick lining it feels really comfortable and warm. It slightly makes me feel like I could be a member of The Supremes, which is never a bad thing. I love the low back on this dress, I think it looks dead sexy and it stops at exactly the right point so you don't end up flashing your bra. As well as the black dress it also comes in gold and charcoal. I think I'm probably gonna wear this to the Illamasqua event in Leeds on Thursday. I heard that Drew from My Transsexual Summer has got a job there so it would be really awesome to meet her!

Motel have also given me a discount code for all of you to use! If you enter SEQUIN15 at the checkout you will get 15% off anything on the website. This code will be valid until Sunday 11th December leaving you just enough time to get something fabulous for a Christmas party or present.

This is what I wore today to pick up some stuff from the Post Office depot. Its so annoying, they slipped the 'you were out' card through our letterbox yesterday when we were all in and awake. They don't even bother to take half the parcels they're supposed to with them. Lazy money grabbing sods, it happens all the time! Lol enough of ranting about Royal Mail, I'm like an old woman! On the way back I stopped off at H&M and New Look to buy some new stuff for me and Chloe. And a massive chav said I was 'gaaaaaawgeous', what a compliment eh?

I got this dress in the Motel sale. I'd wanted it for ages so when I saw it was half price I bought it straight away. It fits like a dream so I'm really happy I got it. I bought this belt from New Look a few years ago. It was really tight at the time but now even on the first hole its really loose. I think it finishes off the outfit though. When my boyfriend saw me this morning, he said I looked like Kat Slater from Eastenders! What?! I think its just because he hates leopard print. This always makes me want to wear head-to-toe leopard print just to piss him off. We got back together the other day, hes still being a bit of a knob but aren't most men?

And some exciting news: we're moving! We've lived in this shitty one bed flat since December 2009 and it has been absolute hell. Its been good living right next to the shops cos we don't have a car but Kirkgate is quite possibly the shittiest street in Leeds. Theres loads of tramps and we live opposite a drugs cafe. All our stuff is piled up because theres no room in here and you can hear everything happening out on the street. My boyfriend's estranged dad has a house in Huddersfield that he doesn't use so hes letting us live there rent free! I have no idea what Huddersfield is like, I've only visited there briefly, so does anyone know if theres any good shops, restaurants, gyms round there? Theres already a tenant there but he doesn't pay any rent either and hopefully he'll be leaving in the next couple of months. We're moving some stuff over tomorrow. I really hope this will a nice new start for us because I've been so unhappy here. Can't wait to move :D

How nice are the clothes by Motel right now? Seriously love most of their stuff. I got this pearly dress from their last sale. It is so gorgeous and comfy too. Its a bit short to actually wear as a dress (and I'm only 5'4"!) so I rolled it up underneath and wore it as a top.

I also really love Galibardy jewellery. I bought this stag necklace a couple of months ago and I wear it all the time. I used to be known as the girl who always wore interesting necklaces but I've mainly been wearing my silver heart necklace for pretty much the last two years. My boyfriend got me it for our first Valentine's Day together and I've not really taken it off since! I miss wearing all my cool jewellery though so I'm gonna make more of an effort with it.

This is what I wore to make a horrible trip to the post office. I decided to sell my corset on ebay (whatever made me think that an expensive corset was a must-buy item, I'll never know...) and I managed to get 40 quid for it. Some man bought it and I got slightly freaked out that he might be a perv but wotevz, I'm getting money for it haha!
