A Peachy Perfect Day!

It was a beautiful day on Saturday and My beloved and I were attending a friends Wedding.
Here I am at the reception at Clearwaters Golf Club. A very stunning place and was particularly picturesque thanks to the weather. I decided the Wedding was a good time to wear a vintage dress I had purchased a while back, but only just got hemmed (I'm a bit silly like that!) I loved the peachy colour as it complimented my pale skin and hair well, and I'm a total girl when it comes to full length gowns, I felt just like a princess!!



I decided to go without make-up other than my beloved red lipstick,and a few lashings of mascara, so I could feel fresh the whole day and night. (Lipstick- Dior in Rouge)

This dress honestly was so soft and lovely to wear as the beautiful satin fabric drapes so nicely. Was a perfect fit around the bodice as well, which was lovely up until dinner time!!!

I really love the pleating as well, it just gives it a little somethin' extra!

My babies! I adore these shoes as they are a beautiful buttery cream, which goes well with my skin tone. They are super soft leather upper and lined too, so were a dream to wear all day and night. I love the buckles on the side too. I didn't want to appear too costumy in the dress, so I thought thse shoes gave it a modern edge. I topped them off with OPI's Give Me the Moon Polish on my fingers and toes, it's a really pretty purply silver tone . Being a girl is so much fun!!!! xxxxxxxxxxx

P:S: Thankyou for your lovely comments, I truly look forward to reading them and getting warm fuzzies!!! xxxxxxxxx

A TUNIC AFTERNOON!

I was off to a friends Hens party on Saturday afternoon, and I wanted something that was dressy, but casual enough to distinguish between my night and day wear, and I love this tunic for this purpose. It's very floaty and soft to wear, and I love layering it up with t-shirts, singlet tops and my beloved blazer, and leggings. Add some patent leather heels and away we go!!

And since I went without my red lipstick, I had to add something red in there(I'm absolutely in love with the colour red! I guess that's why it's the symbolic colour for love :):):) xxxx ) so I toted this wee satin clutch from Peter Alexander. Hope you like!! xxxx

I love these wee bracelets that I picked up on Friday, they are super cute and lots of fun!! I generally tend to wear the same jewellery; my pearl earrings, pearl necklace and my engagement ring, pictured above(which I shall do a wee blog on next week!!!) so I like to play around with quirky wee pieces like this! Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

A VINTAGE FRIDAY NIGHT!

I love love love this dress.... My lovely sister found it in a Salvation Army store, and immediately grabbed it for me :) It has a beautiful full skirt and lining so it poofs out like a true 50's dress should. I always feel like a true girls' girls in it which I love. Even Bob and Toto love it!!!! I always have to finish it off with my favourite red lipstick.... (Dior in 'Rouge' .... not the most original name for a red lipstick!!! It has lovely blue undertones which compliment my pale skin. Ahhh isn't it grand being a girl ...... xxxxxxxxxxxx

P.S Thankyou for your lovely comments, they truly make my day xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

THURSDAY OUTFIT COMPLETE WITH MY BABY!

I'm an absolute sucker for wearing black black black! It's such a great colour for days when colours just feel a bit too much, and it makes me feel very french chic when I add these black and white brogue style heels (my favourite heels from this season)and favourite siren red lipstick. And Toto matches me like a dream! Got to love black and white xxxxx

They are made with kid leather (super super soft) and have beautiful leather lining and leather soles, and even cute leather laces, so they are dreamily comfortable to wear. I have completed the look with Max Factor nailfinity polish in see through ivory, my fave polish at the moment. xxxxxx
