Dresses @ onestopplus.co.uk

Following on from my earlier shoe post - I thought I'd hunt out some summer dresses. But where to look? There are so many choices out there.

Well, after a bit of a hunt, I stumbled across a website I hadn't heard of before; onestopplus. It has fashion in sizes 14 - 36, so something for everyone, yes?

With my curiosity piqued, I thought I'd have a rummage through their dresses and find out for myself. These six are my favourite finds.

Draping Voile Dress  £35.00

Bamboo Viscose Jersey Dress  £24.50

Taillissime colour-blocked style dress  £49.00

Ellos dress  £18.00

Taillissime Maxi dress  £69.00

Tallissime Flouced Voile Dress  £55.00

Well, after my rummage, I think that yes, they do have something for everyone. What do you think?



My Favourite Five Shoes @ New Look

While mooching around New Look's website I thought I'd take a look at the shoes.

I've never really taken much notice of their shoes before, I don't know why, because I found loads that were really gorgous.

In no particular order, these are my favourite five from their current collection.
Which ones do you like?

First up are these gorgeous pink wedges. Super cute and super fun. What's not to love about these?

Pink Bow Detail Platform Wedges £27.99 

Next up are these super sexy black lace courts. Pretty, feminine and perfect for a night out. They also come in pale pink.

Black Lace Pointed Court Shoe £24.99

And here we have a wedge - a great summer shoe. The print on these is quirky and fun, but will easily work well with jeans or a summer dress. They're also available in Navy and Coral. 

Monochrome Cork Wedges  £15.99

Next up are these super cute black and white polker-dot wedges, by Rocket Dog. They remind me of Minnie Mouse. In a word, they're adorable.

Rocket Dog 'Coleen' Polker Dot Wedge £44.99

Lastly, but by no means least, a simply beautiful, dusky pink, peep-toe wedge with front flower corsage. I love them!

Moda in Pelle Pink Flower Peep-Toe Wedge £59.99

I seriously want to go out right now and buy all of these... which would be very naughty.

Oh well, looks like I have to go hide my purse somewhere. :)

Umbrella love!

You know how it is; lazy night in, feet up, mug of tea within reach, and you're happily flicking through ebay when you find something that you weren't even looking for. And it is so cute!

Well, that's me tonight, and of course I had to share.
Isn't this adorable? Makes me want to go out in the rain, well... almost. :P

Here's the link for those that suddenly find they need a new brolly. ;)

Lulu Guinness 'Birdcage' umbrella

It's a girl thing

The Boyfriend thinks I'm returning to my childhood because instead of buying a practical, grown up make up bag, I bought a Hello Kitty make up bag.

Why did I buy it? Good question. In fact The Boyfriend asked me the same thing. And I'll tell you what I told him.

Because it is sooo cute.

He gave me the look. There might have even been a shake of the head and the hint of a raised eyebrow.

*sigh*

I can't help it if he doesn't understand the 'cute'.
It's a girl thing - whatever age we are.

Anyway, this little one is the one I bought to throw in my bag as I dash out the door.

And this larger version is the one I'm quietly lusting after, even though I don't need a larger make up bag.

And if The Boyfriend asks why am I lusting after it, I'll just have to tell him the truth.

Because it's sooo cute! :P

Torn between two lovers... I mean bags

I'm on the look out for a neutral coloured bag for this summer - as amazingly I don't have one. It seems that I have almost every colour except a nude/neutral.
I can't imagine how that happened, but I am going to fix it. :)

I'm rather taken with two bags from Accessorize, but I can't decided between them. As I've only seen them on the Accessorize website I'm going to take a look in-store tomorrow and see them 'in the flesh', so to speak. I think that will give me a better idea of which one is the winner - if either.

Here they are in case you're wondering.

Chelsea Strappy Tote

£32.00

Slouchy Contrast Bucket Tote

£38.00

I loves them both! How can I choose? :/

Shoes glorious shoes!

To cut a long story short, a few years ago I was in a car accident, and due to broken bones and metal screws, I can't wear high heels any more. It's just too painful.

But that does not stop me lusting after them. I can look... just as long as I don't buy them. *whimpers*

Somehow, for me, flat shoes just don't have the lust-inducing properties that heels do. Yes, I'm a good girl (for the most part) and buy flat - or flatish - shoes. But I can still press my nose to the window of a shoe shop and gaze longingly at the six inch pretties that I have no hope of ever walking in.

No one can take that away from me!

I don't even have to go out to ogle shoes; I can sit on my settee and clickety click my way through websites full of shoes and... I do. Often.

Like tonight, for instance. There I was, skipping merrily through the interwebs and off to one corner of the screen, something caught my eye and my heart skipped a beat. It was love.

So, I thought I'd share the pretty.

 Aren't they gorgeous?

They're from thelightinthebox.com and as of right now that site is having a sale.
The beautiful shoes that have my heart, are 80% off! As are lots more.

What are you waiting for? Go buy shoes with heels!  :)

Rain and chicken curry

It's one of those nights. You know the ones; it feels like a Sunday but it's actually a Monday and yes, you're back to work tomorrow. Yup, the Great British Bank Holiday.

And it's raining.

But that's a given.

Actually all it's done for the last week is rain. Arks are on special in B&Q. I'd buy one if I had a driveway. You really need a driveway for an Ark. No, really you do. Park one in the road and see what kind of fine you'll get in the post. A big one, I'm betting. But then again why worry, I'm sure money isn't an issue with people who buy Arks. Let's hope so for their sake, or they're going to have a rather interesting meeting with their bank manager come the next dry spell.

Oh, I'm digressing. I do that. Arks aren't really on special in B&Q - garden furniture is. Apparently they have 15% off 'Outdoor Living'. Although to my mind, people who live outdoors don't need deck chairs, they need warm clothes, and in this weather, an umbrella.

Ugh... I'm doing it again. Sorry. You really need to keep me in check. Throw one of those virtual sheep at me or something.

Anywhoo... here I am setting up a blog while I wait for my microwave chicken curry to finish cooking. Which, I suppose is what one does on a Sunday night that is actually a Monday. Although maybe the chicken curry isn't mandatory. You can microwave alot of things these days. Just, you know... be careful in the kitchen kiddies, and be sure you get a grown up to help you.

Truth be told I'd rather have pizza. But sometimes 11 minutes is about all you can be bothered to wait. And tonight is one of those times. Plus, the lack of washing up is a bonus.

Since I'm at work tomorrow I suppose I should really have an early night, but I suspect I will stay up until midnight as I am prone to do. And in the morning my phone will wake me (zombie-like) at 5.15am and my day will begin whether I like it or not.

I wonder if it will have stopped raining by then.

People, I just heard a ping from the kitchen. I guess that means dinners ready.
