Red Wine Floral Dress from Dorothy Perkins

Zee here...

Wedding receptions can be quite tricky to dress for as you don't want to look majorly formal but at the same time you don't want to look like you're off clubbing. When I was invited to my boss's wedding I was really struggling with what to wear. After going through my whole wardrobe I decided I needed something new. And what better timing when Dorothy Perkins email me about their 30% off event!

I stumbled across this lovely maroon floral dress, it was supposed to be £18 which is cheap anyway but due to the promotional event it only cost £15!! 

I loved wearing this dress, I felt very comfortable and I received loads of compliments! I struggle with my weight but the style of this dress is perfect for a curvier figure as it only comes in at the waist and the pattern distracts from the stomach area! Another great thing about this dress is the length - as I'm fairly tall I struggle with finding dresses that are an appropriate length but this was perfect. I didn't have to worry at all about keeping myself covered, it was still above the knee but well below my bum. I accessorised my outfit with nude heels which dressed it up without looking formal. 

I have also been able to wear this dress at work as it looks smart but as it's a jersey material it doesn't look over the top (perfect for my office!). 

This is a lovely dress and it's such great value for money - what's the best thing? That it comes in so many more colours!! I'm already ordering the one black, white and grey floral design!

Sass and Belle Biscuit Cushions

B here...

I am loving these Sass and Belle biscuit cushions!! 

As a biscuit lover, can't really have any other cushions right?!

Sass and Belle have a party ring cushion, custard cream and jam biscuit cushion. 

On their website, they are £17.45 each, but I bought mine off eBay for £32 for the party ring and custard cream ones.

From the images, they look like a decent size and cute as ever. Can't wait till they arrive!

House of Holland Thorn In My Side by Elegant Touch

B here...

After trying House of Holland's Sweet Tooth nails, I went on the hunt for some other patterns. There is so much choice that I really had to control myself and just buy one pack.

I went for Thorn In My Side which has these amazing 3D roses stuck on some of the nails.

Here is what they look like stuck on. I use Elegant Touch nail glue which is really good and they stay stuck on for well over a week for me. 

I love the thorn and rose pattern! 

After a week or so, I carefully removed them so that I could use them again soon.

These were £7.99, which I think is reasonable and even more reasonable if you able to keep the intact when you remove them.

House of Holland Sweet Tooth by Elegant Touch

B here...

I went into Boots the other day to pick up some more foundation and obviously I had a look around too. I saw these super cute House of a Holland ice cream nails and thought I had to try them. I wear false nails as it is but usually just a solid colour. I loved the ice cream pattern and stiletto shape. 

Here's what they look like once they're on and I love them! They were easy to apply and I was able to find a size that fits each nail. 

These were £8.99, which is a little bit more expensive than the other patterns but they are so cute, so it's worth it to me! :)

House of Holland have so many other patterns that I will definitely be trying!

Have you tried any stick on nails like this?

Body Shop Mango Mini's

Zee here...

Check out my latest purchases, a mango body whip and a mango lip butter. I don't know if it's just me but I find miniature items really cute and have to buy them. I have the normal large body lotion already but in a different scent however when I saw this one I thought it would be perfect for on my desk at work! As I walk to and from work I often find myself needing hand cream or lip balm in the colder months so these will come in handy. I'm prepared for winter already, no dry hands or sore lips for me! 

These weren't too badly priced - the body whip was £3 and the lip butter £4 but they were on a deal where you get one half price so it only cost me £5.50 in total! They both smell lovely and the lip butter tastes okay too, I always worry it will taste chemically! Well worth the buy!

Rose Gold Michael Kors Watch

Zee here...

I finally got round to using the money that I got for my 21st birthday last year and bought myself a beautiful Michael Kors watch! From the start I knew I wanted to use the money for a watch as it seemed like a lovely keepsake but I also wanted to make sure it was the right one. It didn't take long for me to set my heart on a Michael Kors watch as all the collection are stunning. 

I loved this watch when I saw it and I can't get enough of the colour rose gold now! At first though I was a little worried as all of my expensive jewellery is silver so I was concerned this wouldn't match. However rose gold seems to go perfectly with both silver and gold! I feel like the colour helps make the watch stand out and look more stylish too. The watch has a bit of weight to it which shows that's it's made from good quality material but because it's a perfect fit you can't feel the weight at all when wearing it, it's actually very comfortable! 

I was lucky enough to purchase my watch while on holiday in Florida. I knew I wanted to buy my watch out there so it became my mission to find a Michael Kors store (turned out to be very easy). We found one in an outlet shopping district in Estero. The photo below shows the outside of the store, the inside was beautiful! Surrounded by stunning bags, purses and jewellery it was hard to focus but I knew what I came for. The staff were so lovely and welcoming, even offering advice on what we should do in the area, I really didn't expect it from such a high end store! I was throroughly impressed and left with a big smile on my face. And the best part? My watch only cost $250 which is the equivalent of around £160 - sooo much cheaper than in the UK! I love my watch and had a great time buying it in the Michael Kors store.
