Dresses to brighten a dull day ……...




Hi Lovelies,

Well, I have spent the morning putting away all of my big thick jumpers and coats for the year. 
Remind me why do we even buy big chunky jumpers? I always get lured by the idea of feeling snugly and warm but the reality is that we never actually get cold enough in the UK to warrant them - one jumper I bring out every year and it still never gets a look in, so it has finally made the charity pile.

I still have far too many pieces of black for spring / summer - what can I tell you - I'm with Angelina Jolie on this - but I have added some colour - we just need some lovely sunshine now - here are a few things that I have picked up to make me feel like Spring is really here!

I love this little dress

 
Embroidered Dress - Zara £39.99

This one just totally reminds me of a 70's Gucci vibe
Its a really cool dress AND it has pockets!

Printed Front Pleat Dress - Zara £59.99

I rarely do flats (I need all the help I can get in the height department - but I got these for Dubai and they are unbelievably comfortable)

Leather Platform Sandals with wooden soles - Zara £49.99

Overlay Sundress (also available in white) Topshop £36

I haven't purchased the two below, but I really like them ….

Off Shoulder Broiderie Dress - £60

and afternoon tea is sorted with this cutie ………..
Daisy Print Bardot Prom Dress - ASOS £75

and every outfit will look more summery with this stunning bag.
It's sooooooo pretty

Valentino The Rockstud colour block Trapeze Bag £1675

or an LV Neverfull  - decisions, decisions!

Neverfull Damier Azur MM Size - Louis Vuitton £710 - this will work with everything

Hope I have made you feel a little bit spring-like - I'm jumping around like a lamb ….!

Thanks for looking x

Dubai Dreaming ……..



Hi Lovelies,

Thanks so much for the messages asking about my Dubai pictures - we just had the most beautiful time there, and got to experience some really amazing things. I adored our time there and would definitely go back. The temperature was perfect too ……


our very beautiful hotel



we booked an evening trip to visit the Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world)




Unlike Tom - we didn't go quite to the tip!




We had booked afternoon tea at the Burj Al Arab, billed as the most luxurious hotel in the world - it has 7 stars and serious security to get in ……..


The Lobby View


the cake stands & sugar are modelled on the Sail shape of the hotel





Red Rose displays are everywhere!


The Escalator backdrops are giant aquariums


Cutest Restrooms ever - I kept visiting just to stand in there!


Cocktails in the Skybar as we watched the sun set over the city





I am now as pink as my chair


Cannot wait to go back ………….
