Candy Girl

I know this dress has been done to by half a million other fatshion Bloggers, but I do love this dress designed by the lovely Lauren at Pocket Rocket as Part of the Bloggers Collection last Summer.  In fact it is so good I bought it twice as my first one went a bit bobbly, so I found this one on E bay for a steal.  It's a size too big but that's ok.

I chose my ice cream dress to celebrate my new sweet wrapper coloured crop, as belts sort of scare me I teamed it with my new leopard print bow belt from Primark, I'm not too sure I would bother again as I am not convinced it work but I am trying to push my style.

As it is still winter I teamed it with my very old but much loved Monsoon cardigan, black leggings and some ballet flats.  As my other accessory I chose a Dolly Cool necklace with a Zombie Cocktail in it!  If you haven't ever heard of Dolly Cool do check out her website as she has lots of lovely bits and they are really reasonably priced.

What I love about this dress is I think it suits everyone as I have seen loads of bloggers wear it and they all look good, this is certainly my dress of choice when I feel a bit, meh as the ice creams and pink never fail to cheer me up and it is really comfy!  I teamed it with my new Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in Showy

Swansea Shopping Haul

So as I said I went shopping yesterday, as it was in Swansea it was mainly a Primark Haul.  I was impressed with Primark there are loads of cool T-shirts at the moment, even though I am a bit miffed they had sold out of the Barbie T-shirts in my size, but there were loads of retro style T-shirts available and I would have loved more really especially the grey Nirvana T-shirt.

So my choices were the retro Jurassic Park T Shirt, the Bart Simpson T, which I would love to style with some Blackheart Creatives round earrings in pink or green saying WOW! The Ariel T shirt cos who doesn't love The Little Mermaid? and a black vest cos you can never have too many and I always lose them like other people lose socks.  The fit of these T shirts were good and quite roomy and I would say could fit up to a size 24.

A My little Pony sweatshirt a bargain at a tenner, not much to say apart from I can't wait to style that Bad Boy up!

I also hit the accessories and bought a couple of belts as I am trying to accessorise more and belts scare me a bit, and some blingtastic earrings.  Again there were loads of good and cheap accessories in there but as I had bought so many tops I thought I best go easy.  Although I had to pop into a fancy dress shop and saw retro pink cats eye sunnies and thought these are coming home with me, probably because I never got over wanting to be a Pink Lady.

Finally I went to Boots, cos this brown barnet has to go and I want/need a lipstick and have been lusitng after the matte balm Revlon ones.  Even though it said the hair and make up offer were different offers (the 3 for 2 was on) when I got to the counter they said I could have a third item free so I got a nice pastel green nail varnish as I don't have enough pastels.

So that was my haul. there was a lot of lovely stuff I did fall rather hard for a floral Kimono that was meant as a beach cover up, but alas it was too long for me to style with Jeans like I'd want to, but it might work for someone taller.

But that is it for now, I can't wait to do some outfit of the days using these clothes!
