Dressed to Kill

Last week I placed an order with ASOS, as they kindly gave me a VIP preview of their sale! I picked up some truly gorgeous dresses that I'm really excited to share with you!

This Vera Moda maxi is one of my favourite dresses already! It was a steal at £15 in the sale, and it's so perfect for warm Spring days in the park with a denim shirt over the top! I was stopped several times when I wore this out by people asking me where I got it from! Linky

You probably saw this dress in the post below about The Shoes! £22 in the sale, its made from a lush jersey material and I love the cut as it sits really nicely on my hips! As I'm quite pale in my complexion I'm often wary of shades like this one, but I think it compliments my skin tone more than anything else! How cute is the pearl detail peter pan collar?! Linky

This photo does not do this bodycon cobalt blue dress any justice at ALL! £20 from ASOS, it's made from a lovely clingy material but doesn't cling in an unflattering way, instead it just compliments your silhouette. I plan on wearing this dress to a proper 'club' night, complete with killer black heels & a cute clutch! Linky

Last but definitely not least is this little stunner! I'd lusted after this dress on the ASOS website for WEEKS and was over the moon when it went into the sale! I think it's absolutely divine and it fits me like a glove! Plus it's always nice when you're forced to return a dress for an exchange in a smaller size! Linky

The colours compliment each other perfectly and I adore how the polka dots are a light dusty pink rather than the traditional and perhaps less complimentary white! Only £20 I can't wait to have an occasion to wear this to! I'm thinking nude heels & understated accessories to allow the dress to speak for itself! If only my crush would ask me on a date...

The Shoes

I couldn't wait any longer to introduce you to the new love of my life.... these INCREDIBLE wedges!

I fell in love with them around 6 weeks ago on the H&M website, they were £39.99 which I thought was wayyy out of my price range but I loved how designer they look, and how original they were!

I then subscribed to the H&M newsletter and nabbed myself a nifty 20% off one item ordered online... but I decided to wait and see if they had them in store before ordering, to save myself some postage.

They didn't have them in any of the H&Ms I visited on Oxford St, so it was with a heavy heart I returned home & looked them up online, only to find they'd sold out in my size!!!!

Some days later they FINALLY came back into stock, I ordered them & they were delivered on a Saturday while I was out at work (luckily my flatmate was around to receive the delivery) - nicest thing to come home to in the history of the world? I think so!

And here comes the happily ever after part of this love story! They fit a treat, were ridiculously comfy despite probably being the highest shoes I own, and I even managed to wear them out on the first night out I went on after they arrived! I had to dress down so the shoes could stand out and make the outfit all on their own!

Voila! The happiest union there ever was!

Couple of Cute Spring Finds!

Just a quick Sunday afternoon post! Whilst on Monday's pilgrimage to Oxford St I picked up a couple of cute bits worth mentioning..

 This lovely floral maxi skirt was £9.99 (ish, maybe £12.99) from H&M. I love love love how much fabric you get for your money! The blue background is a gorgeous shade and the little pink/white/blue flowers in the floral pattern are ideal for wearing with a top/blazer of the same shade!

It's hard to photograph because it's so long, but it has an elasticated waist and sits beautifully just above the hips, making the fabric flow fabulously down to your feet. I already have 2 jersey maxi dresses and 1 denim maxi skirt but none of them are quite like this one - its really cute & easy to wear!

However it is quite long - I'm 5'6 and it's almost too long for me so beware if you're any shorter as you might have to wear it with wedges!

These super-cute shorts, also from H&M (absolutely BARGAIN at £12.99) may be the new LOVE OF MY LIFE! Not only do I adore the colour (same as a high waisted skirt I bought a few weeks ago, see earlier post) and the pattern (dinky little doves) but the way they fit me is perfect, almost as if they were made for me! They're high waisted & have a tie also around the waist which you can do into a little bow to add extra cute factor to your outfit! Not too short to wear during the day either!

I've already worn these out with 10 denier tights, a white vest top, rust blazer & cream brogues and got lots of comments! I'm also keen to wear them on a night out, maybe to an indie club with bare legs & a white boob tube? (I tried this on and it really reminded me of Katy Perry in the Gym Class Heroes vid for Cupid's Chokehold/Breakfast in America - and I LOVE her style!)

What do you think? Have you bought any amazing shorts for spring? Do you love/hate Katy P? Comment away!
