The Big V is right around the corner. Though I'm not one to believe in one day being any more important to indulge in romantics, I am also not one to shy away from any excuse to give a heartfelt card and grab a beautiful meal with the one you love.
It was Friday afternoon when my pay had finally landed in my account that I took to trawling through my various Wish List baskets. I picked this Red Off The Shoulder Dress from Missguided for, as the title suggests, £6.99! The quality of this dress is amazing for the price. I love the weight in the material and the fullness in the skirt gives such flow to the outfit.
The décolletage is such a ladylike area to show off on any body shape and I feel it just adds a real elegance to this outfit. I picked this up in a Size 12 which I think is relatively true to size, though right now I'm back on the 10/12 border (woohoo!). Throughout January I have been trying to eat healthier and I've been going to Boxcercise two times a week with Ballet class on a Wednesday. Four weeks in and I'm feeling my body shape starting to change for the better. (Watch this space for a post on my new found love of cardio!)
I was lucky enough to receive a couple of pieces of coveted Chanel makeup at Christmas from my Mom. Though I've lovingly been using Chanel Les Beiges everyday (yes it really is as good as they say), my Chanel Dragon Lipstick has sat on my dressing table for a special occasion. Valentines is such an occasion I think. The formula is outstanding. Buttery, glossy, moisturising and well the most perfect red in my collection.
What are you planning for Valentines Day? Have you found any amazing pieces online that make Primark look overpriced? Whatever you end up doing this Valentine's I hope you have a lovely time!

Thanks so much poppet you too! Followed back! Hoping to see that Primark Haul too! I'm a woman obsessed haha xxx
DeleteI will be knocking one out tomorrow hopefully, just gotta take a few pictures of me in the clothes I bought :D Also, this is going to sound kind of stupid, but I was wondering if you had any advice on how to get more followers/viewers? I saw you started blogging kind of around the same time as me but I only have 5 followers, so was wondering if you had any tips? xxx
DeleteAwesome I'll make sure I check it out! Not stupid at all! I honestly have no idea?! I really like your blog :) I mean I think with my blog I wanted it to include all of my own favourite bits of other blogs I read. Like the big photos, the variety of posts, not too text heavy but also chatty enough? I tweet using #bbloggers, #fbloggers and #lbloggers when I post my posts too? Also my friend is a blogger and has given me pointers :) she's actually called Bright Town Girl so very similar to your name ! xxx
DeleteThis is a really lovely dress Lily, I can't believe it is only £6.99! I do love missguided clothes. Hope you have a fantastic valentines day! :)
