WHAT I WORE



Lookbook | Chictopia
Blazer: Thrifted in Canada
Dress: Vero Moda @ Zalando
Shoes/Bag: Primark

I absolutely adore this dress, unfortunately you can't see it that well~ in my pictures but if you click the link up there ^ you'll see it better. I think it's going to be such a lovely dress for Summer because it's so floaty and light. I haven't worn this outfit today, it's obviously a little too dressy for daily life and the fact it's freezing outside. But I’m planning on wearing it this Saturday night as I’m off for a meal with Matt to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary. How has it been that long?!

I mentioned the other day about sorting the mass of clothes i own, well after I’ve cleared my wardrobe out I’m going to do either a blog sale or stick it all on eBay. I have a lot of unused/barely warn items which I’d like to see go to a good home but I’m sure I’ll tweet all about that when I’ve finally go round to taking the photos.

My parents are coming up this weekend to bring the Christmas presents up that we couldn't carry on the train, so I’m looking forward to seeing them! We're also going to Ikea as we need a new unit for the living room and I’d like to get some more storage boxes for my forever over flowing wardrobe. Ikea has the best food ever too so I’m ready to indulge before my diet starts on Monday. I must resist the urge to go home with them, after the crappy day i've had I could quite happily 'give up' everything in Leeds and just go back home.

Thank you all for your blog birthday tweets and comments, you have no idea how much they've made me smile and brightened up my day!

  2. This dress looks so pretty and so nice with the Blazer, and I love that the dress is high waisted, if you know what I mean when the waist belt is just below the chest area, I prefer dresses like that :) You look stunning, they are such lovely photographs!

  19. Oh wow! Began to follow your blog a couple of days ago and just realised you live in Leeds too! Funny. I am currently staying in Stockholm for a month or two before I jump back so it was a surprise to realise that.

  27. Love the dress! =) Happy late Birthday! I don't comment much and I started following you only a few months ago, but I wanted to say;
    I saw your tweets about people finding you by looking up something bad, I wont even say it. Please please please don't let it get to you, you are gorgeous, not even big and you've got nice curves. Don't listen to what others say or do, they're probably SO fat they can't get off their computer so they say those things to you to make you feel bad because they are jealous. I know everyone blames these things on jealousy, but seriously it's true. Jealousy is love and hate at the same time, they love you, your life and your success yet they hate it because you have all of this and they don't. So- please know you have followers who don't care if you were even bigger than you are now because we love your personality and awesomeness-yes you have a nice body, but thats not all you are.
    So smile. You're alive, a successful blogger with thousands that love you (which does sadly mean that some hate you-but EVERYONE is hated by someone eventually in their lives) don't let them know they get to you. Enjoy your life, friends, boyfriend, family, etc. because in the end you won't look back on the bad things people said but those highs you got from the amazing people you got to know through your blog. Those comments you received that brought a smile to your face, the people you met through this experience, etc.
    SMILE- you have a really pretty smile, so let everyone around you see it.
    My dad recently told me to smile more, and it made me realize that we just walk around looking bored or even angry instead of smiling at everything. It can instantly change your mood so do it!
    Sorry for the SUPER long comment....
