Double Vision: NYE

Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

Hey my lovelies,

It’s Double Vision time again! In this challenge my amazing friend Dani and I are choosing a theme, item, movie character.. whatever we come up with basically, and style those our own way and post at the same time, more about the challenge here. This week’s theme was chosen by Dani, and she suggested that we’d show our ideal New Year’s Eve outfits.

Well, it’s NYE today, and Dani and me are both sick and not going to parties. But if I was going, this outfit would definitely be an ideal choice for me. I’m absolutely in love with this dress, I wore it to our office Christmas party a few week’s ago, and I felt so pretty in it. I have wanted a tutu-dress for ages, and when I saw this at Becky‘s blogsale, I knew I had to have it. It fits like a dream and I feel like a princess in it :))).

2012 Recap

Hey my lovelies,

My blog is exactly 11 months old today, and it has had a great first year :). I’m so thankful for the amazing friends I have gained since starting blogging, for the readers, all the comments and tweets, the great brands that I have been lucky to work with, the people who have entered my giveaways.. yes, 2012 has been great for my blog and me. THANK YOU <3.

I was going through my posts to find my favourite outfits, and my early posts really make me cringe. There’s a big part of me who wants to delete all of those and hide them forever, the outfits are quite bad and the photos themselves are dreadful. BUT the other part of me wants to keep them so that I (and my readers) can see how far I’ve come in such a short time. I think my first outfit posts were about ‘I don’t care that I’m fat, I wear whatever I want’, but now my style has been developed and I truly like what I see in the mirror when I’ve dressed myself. I didn’t use to wear jewellery at all, but now I’ve got lots of necklaces with spikes and jewels and all kinds of stuff.. haha. Going through my pics was truly an eye-opening experience, seeing how blogging has changed me and my way of dressing – and for the better :).

So, I’m saying HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all with my fave outfits of 2012, and here’s for an even better 2013!!! (Pics are links to the original posts.)

MSM Secret Santa: My gift

Tags: ,

Hey my lovelies,

A few weeks ago I posted about Money Supermarket‘s Secret Santa challenge for bloggers, if you didn’t see my previous post, please click here to read it. I was paired with the lovely Cat from Take Courage, and she sent me this cute pom pom wreath, which will surely find its way to my Christmas decorations next year (sadly didn’t have time this year because of my travels). Thank you Cat :)!

MSM Secret Santa

If you are curious to see what I got for Cat, see her blog post about it here :). Thanks to Money Supermarket for sponsoring this challenge and including me in it, it was really fun!

Fatshion Faceoff: Pussy bow top

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hello my lovelies,

Happy Boxing Day to everyone who celebrates Christmas :). But today is also Wednesday, and I’m sure you know it’s Fatshion Faceoff time! If you’re new to the blog, please see here what Fatshion Faceoff is about :). This week’s item was chosen by Olivia, and she chose a pussy bow top.

I got this blouse ages ago from Primark, it was another reduced bargain find. I teamed it up with my metallic pleather skirt in this outfit, and I think it works well. The blouse has a hi-lo hem, but it looks like a normal shirt when it’s under the skirt. Like you’ve seen lately I’ve become somewhat obsessed with sheer tops, so I really love this one too.
