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!

The Kardashian's Dash Store in Miami

Zee here...

As soon as I knew I was visiting Miami it was a given that I'd have to hunt down the Kardashian store called Dash! After asking for some directions I managed to find it, located around Mac, Vidal Sassoon and other higher end stores. I wasn't allowed to take any pictures inside but here is the store front which looked nice and elegant, matching the simplistic style to the other stores on that street.

I regularly watch the show so I was excited to go and potentially buy something from the store. After seeing them work on the launch of their make up line on their show this is what I'd been hoping to buy but sadly it seems the Miami store literally only stocked lip gloss. I was extremely disappointed by the lack of stock in this small store, especially since that was probably my only chance to ever visit the store. On a sign it said there were nail files for $8 which I thought was a perfect souvenir for everyone at home but sadly they didn't actually stock them. 

One thing I did love was their candles - the scents were incredible but they were too heavy for me to buy and carry back in my case and were $40. The clothes in the store were also lovely but the tops tended to start at $200 which is understandable as a designer brand but was out of my price range sadly.

Overall the store was nice and elegant but I was a little disappointed by the range of stock it had.

Primark Summer Floaty Hat

Zee here...

When I was in Primark I came across this large floppy summer hat and when I saw it was a bargain £4 I had to have it! I've never been brave enough to buy a summer hat before but have always admired them in every celeb magazine. I thought for £4 why not try it? 

I feel so glamorous when I have this hat on and the colour means I can wear it with a wide range of outfits. I haven't been brave enough to wear it outside in England yet but I will be wearing it when I'm on holiday in 3 weeks time! I will update this post with any holiday snaps of this hat once I get back.
