Well, and then I got a bit into a shopping frenzy!
|

These dresses are just gorgeous. The colours actually are much more vibrant than shown on the pictures.
They create a beautiful waist as they are tied at the back what makes them very comfy as well. The hemline is nicely below the knees. I tried the green one and unfortunately it was not for me because I can't fill the top front. So this is not a dress for a flat chested lady.
Thanks to the cut and the pattern, it hides nicely the one or the other bit of padding. A gorgeous dress for a 'real' woman, and for something around £80 quid a brilliant deal (I think they are even machine washable)

I'm very sorry, but if you would decide to buy those two you will have to put up with the fact that I'm wearing them as well.
However, I'm not going out that often, and I will mostly wear them dressed down for work.
Although that will be a bit of an abuse as they are brilliant for party and even occasion. Just add the right pair of shoes, jewellery and/or bag.
What makes them so fabulous is the lushness of material and the swing.
They are tailored with finesse and although very light to wear they look like a heavy swing.

The size is hard to tell as every tailor measures a bit differently - however, I'm usually a 6-8 in the top as long as it doesn't have sleeves - just to give you an idea. For that size it fits nicely around the waist - not adjustable those two - and houses a B-cup beautifully.
Thus those are not for big chested ladies. The price is in the same range as above.
There was another gorgeous one, of which I forgot to take a photo - similar cut and size proportions - grey with white lace, looked great on pale skin like mine - do you believe it?

As I said before: Trust Nicky's judgement and try it on! It was a tiny bit too tight for me. Well, I got lucky there as it was somewhat more expensive, and after I had tried it, Nicky found the brown one for me.
The little blue wrap cardigan is from Sue's HollyBlue end of the boutique. It is the same brand as the dress. It will serve me well during colder days and goes brilliantly with a lot of other things from my wardrobe.
Next I indulged a bit more in belts. I had found one last time already and this time I broke down again. So this time it is this beauty I couldn't resist.
Well, I just like it chunky.
These well shaped belts come in all colours, styles and types of leather. They are - despite some chunkiness - extremely soft and the attention to detail is just great.

And then spring is on.
Huge fashionable shades in all colours and shapes. Wear the pink ones in the middle with a bright pink shirt and you easily could join the love parade, wear them with something white like below and they become elegant and sophisticated.
I have to say: It's a shame that I have to wear glasses - unfortunately they are not for me.

I really have to apologise to all of you who are not into green. There was a whole rail - actually two of them - with blue and blue/white clothes. All in a similar style and quality.
It's just my blind spot for blue as it usually doesn't suit me. I promise to do better in further updates.
This knitted cardigan is gorgeous. Again, the colour is a bit more vibrant than in the picture, without biting the eye, though. A beautiful fresh outfit for spring and summer.
And last but not least I found a new little purse for occasions. I love these little sequined things and last time I shot a white one. This time it is red!
It has a thin golden chain to wear it on.
Look at those details!
Ahh...
