Style | The Perfect Party Dress

Hi,

"Its the most wonderful time of the year, there'll be parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting and carolling out in the snow"

Christmas already, I know it's a cliché to say this but, it most certainly has come around quickly this year. One minute I was rocking around in summer dresses and now here I am planning my party, Christmas day and New Years eve outfits!

Now, back to the main focus of this post, this beautiful dress from Lovedrobe!




I wore this dress for my first Christmas lunch, it was an afternoon affair but, as it's the festive season I decided to get a little bit dressed up!




This dress is from the Lovedrobe Luxe collection*, they have so many beautiful dresses it was really hard to pick one.  

The dress is a gorgeous charcoal grey colour with some intricate detailing around the neckline. The outer layer is quite a thin material, which feels similar to crepe, it hangs nicely once on thanks to a thick layer of lining underneath, this also prevents any clinging to legs or tights so it's super comfortable to wear. It is a little shorter than I would normally go for but I added a thick pair of tights underneath. I also added some heels, which were so uncomfortable, when I wear it again it will definitely be with a pair of cute sparkly flats!


Dress - Lovedrobe*
Bag - Kate Spade
Watch - DKNY
Shoes - Primark

Pretty in red

Hi! We paid a visit to the lovely town of Cirencester a few weeks ago. Whilst we were there we had a quick wonder around and also managed to pop into a shop or two! I haven't had much luck with charity shop finds this year, every time I see something nice it's never in my size..bah! Anyway I saw a British Heart Foundation and thought I would have a quick look in. The first thing I saw was this gorgeous top, it was originally from M&S and still had the tags on. I didn't try it on as I thought it looked big enough and at £3.99 I had to snap it up! I paired it with this pretty skirt I bought from the New Look sale a few weeks ago. This was going to be my Plus North day outfit but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to wear it. I forgot I had a white bra on! Do you ever shop in charity shops? Much Love N x

Food | Breakfast Time!

Hi, A good weekend for me starts with a good breakfast, not just a bowl of cereal but creamy eggs on toast, juice and maybe a pastry or two! If you follow me on Instagram you will see that most weekends I post stories of Mr C and I at our favourite breakfast spot, The Batch Café. We first discovered the Batch back in 2017 after spotting it on Instagram. I said to Mr C that we had to add it to our list of places to try. Our first visit was late one Saturday morning so it was more brunch than breakfast. Mr C opted for a ploughman's lunch and I went with my favourite, scrambled eggs on toast. I'm super fussy when it comes to scrambled eggs, I love fresh eggs with a bit of salt and pepper, they have to be creamy but not too runny and piping hot. I have been to many places where I have left my eggs, if I can't tick all of the above then I won't eat them. As soon as I tried the ones at the Batch I told Mr C we would be coming back. The eggs were perfectly cook

Flash the flesh!

When a group of bloggers join together for a chat you know that the final result has to be super! So this happened once more when a few days ago we were talking about our prefences between mini and maxi and Becky thought that it would be great to create a challenge where the goal was to show a little but more skin and our body(but with style and no vulgarity) showing proudly our curves. And so 'flash the flesh' was born! I went outside because a few weeks ago I went out in a dress with tights and some random man decided to shout out that I had fat legs! Since then I have been feeling slightly self conscious about my legs so when the idea of flash the flash came up I thought why not step outside, flash my little 'fat' legs and get my confidence back! It was quite difficult today as it was so windy but here are my pics (and please excuse my wind swept hair!) and I had to put my jacket on after coming out because it was a little chilly! Here are the links to the oth
