Twenty Seven





Dress - Vero Moda* / Shoes - Topshop / Bag - Zara / Watch - Michael Kors

As I mentioned in my last post I recently had my 27th birthday. I honestly still feel like I'm a teenager & not a real grown up! Does that feeling ever go away? I decided to wear something quite simple as we were spending the day in Blackpool & I wanted to be comfortable. It might seem odd that I'm wearing tights in August but last time we went I made the mistake of not wearing any & it was so windy that I couldn't walk two steps without my dress blowing up! Anyway this gorgeous Vero Moda dress caught my eye on the House Of Fraser website. I love the floral pattern & I thought the colours looked really pretty together. My obsession with skater dresses is still going strong but this one looks slightly more mature than some of the others in my wardrobe. I've gotten to the stage where I feel that most of my dresses & skirts are way too short for me now so I really appreciate the longer length of this dress! The pattern of the dress is quite bold so I decided not to wear many accessories. I just put on my Michael Kors watch & trusty old Zara handbag. I still absolutely adore these shoes from Topshop. I bought them a few years ago but I wear them all the time. I have a thing for white shoes & they're the perfect T-bar Mary Jane style.

I liked this outfit so much that I also wore it for my birthday meal in York with the rest of my family. Our train was a nightmare as the York races were going on & somehow their train from London was delayed by over two hours! By the time we all met up we were starving. We'd never been to Bill's before so we decided to eat there & the food was incredible! I had a huge burger with sweet potato fries & onion rings followed by pecan pie. Luckily the cut of this dress is super flattering & skims over my stomach so my food baby was kept perfectly concealed!

Lipstick On Your Collar



Dress - Vero Moda / Coat - H&M / Necklace - Urban Outfitters
Rings - H&M, Wired Jewellery, Love Hearts & Crosses / Nails - Illamasqua Stance

Back in November last year I was lucky enough to win a £50 Republic voucher at the Leeds blogger meetup. I waited for ages to find something that I really liked & last week I finally ordered this Vero Moda dress with it. You might've seen it in the campaign images that Alexa Chung did for them. Obviously it looks nowhere near as good on me as it does on her but the pointed collar was something that made this dress irresistible to me. I'd never bought any clothes from Vero Moda before but this dress is really lovely & good quality too. Its a bit longer than the stuff I usually wear but I still like it. I wore this today for a trip to the park & a cheeky visit to the KFC drive through. Sometimes its nice having a boyfriend who works in retail, you get to do fun stuff during the week when its quiet rather than during the busy weekend.
