Lookbook /Chictopia

I'm a massive Addams Family fan! Recreating Wednesdays look is something I've wanted to do for ages. Then when i saw lily do it i thought I'd give it a go too. I'm rocking the peter pan dress i got on Saturday, but I've added a lace collar to give it a bit more effect. I loved doing this, i thought it was brilliant to being out my inner goth!

I've been to the doctors this afternoon, i needed a check up. I've found out I've lost over a stone, and my BMI has dropped 3 points. From someone who's never been happy with how i look, i can finally say I'm so very proud and i have a lot more confidence. So i just want to say that if there's anyone wanting to do something about their weight/size take me for an example. In 3 months I've lost over a stone, just by eating less and better. If i can do it, so can you!

I've got Uni tomorrow, and i really can't be bothered. I'm so used to being inside my little warm bubble doing my own thing. I work so much better at home.

Oh before i go, everyone should check out this post from Gem. It's amazing, and I'm so glad to see someone finally address the issues. I can relate to everything she's said and it's really interesting to hear other people feel the same. She's a lovely lady too!

  5. I was Wednesday Adams for Halloween and loved it! I think it looks best with your hair down but your dress and lace combo is great either way :)

  6. Love that lipstick colour. I'm exactly the same at the moment. I had to drag myself to uni earlier (I haven't been to a lecture since last week), and actually ended up leaving early. x

  7. I've already congratulated you on the weight loss but I'll say it again, well done! I bet you feel much more energetic and better about yourself :-) A stone in three months is pretty mad, you must have worked really hard. You do look great for it, though!

    I absolutely love this look, you pull it off so well. You look absolutely stunning in dark make-up and clothes! I actually really, really love the lipstick. I'm envious of you girls who can pull a look like this off! I don't know what's up with my face but I look like a complete muppet when I try something 'gothy' or dark. The lace collar you added pulls the whole thing together, I absolutely love this! xx

  33. Oh my gosh, Victoria you look amazing! I love Wednesday and you have totally aced channeling the look perfectly. I love the little lace collar you've added to. It breaks it up nicely. Congrats on your check up and weight loss! You should be proud. I went to my check up tonight and I've put on a couple of pounds so I'm very chuffed. I'm hoping to get myself out of the underweight bracket by the new year. Have a lovely week sweet.

  65. Haha - I've seen a few wednesday addams looks around lately, largely due to halloween I guess. It must be one of the defining film of our generation. And why wouldn't it be :P
    Congrats on loosing a stone. Sincve moving from college I've tried to make healthy meals, although lately it's lagged a little. Now summer has started I've been enjoying eating interesting salads :D
    In winter minestrone soup, cream of mushroom and cream of asparagus soups are awesome. But I usually put half the cream in because it's not essential! Or dhal... mmm delicous!
