The perfect LBD's- House of Fraser!



I absolutely love House of Fraser and I'm sure you all do too right? I was shopping in their yesterday, well more window shopping actually as I'm a typical skint teenager at the moment but the LBD's they have in stock at the moment are gorgeous! I then found out that HOF currently have dresses all over the store targeted more at the younger generation, so like older teenagers and early 20's! Now EVERYONE needs a LBD in their wardrobe so i have chosen my 5 favourites, each one for a slightly different occasion, and with the right accessories they will look fab on you all!


We all know 'Peplum' is a masive trend this season so what better that a LBD with a peplum! I love the fact this dress has been made for the cold winter months with the sheer top and sleeves! The lengh of the dress is great for petites too(just like me) as its not going to cover any extra leg that we NEED to make us girls look taller! The dress would be perfect for Christmas dinner or a family evening out so if your still looking for that perfect dress; its right here and at £39.99 not bad, not bad! 


Warehouse- Sequin Velvet Bodycon Dress
I actually love this dress, all the detailing on the front and the little cap sleeves are soooo cute! They have it in a size 6 as well, yayyy! If you open the link you can get a better image of what it looks like on, which i think looks so much better than just in the plain photo! I think the sequins are very 'special occasion'/ 'Christmas time' and also for all year round :-)
At £60 this dress isn't bad!











Yumi- Lace and Bead bodycon! 

I choose this dress as i think it's a lot more casual as the material isn't as structured and fitted as the other 2. The Lace and Bead detailing on the front though is gorgeous! I think this dress could be worn with thick tights, some winter boots and a lovely big winter coat, you know for those long cute romantic walks in the autumn leaves- which never actually happen! Hahahaha! Still though, even if these walks never actually happen, it can be worn for many outings just like this and at £55 its a bargain- well almost.







Karen Millen- Lace sleeve Collection dress! 
Now i decided to choose this one becasue i think its slightly more formal than the others. The lengh is much longer making it slightly less 'party' and more like 'work do' kind of thing! The velvet pattern around the top though makes this dress look so expensive and the lengh- coming just past the knee, is pretty much like a Devil wears prada dress, maybe one of the outfits from Paris Fashion Week or when all the fashion experts are having dinner together or even a Victoria Beckham fitted dress.










Another masterpiece from 'Yumi'! I had actually never heard of this brand before until i was browsing the HOF sight and found out they had some really nice pieces! I think this dress definitely spells out P-A-R-T-Y! Although it it very simple the shape is amazing and definitely there to bring out your body shape! The length is great too, another one for us petite girls to make our legs look longer yaay!










So thats my 5 top dresses for 2012/2013! Which one is your favourite? :-)

breathing in london air..

Hi guys! Hope you're all not to sad about being back at school/college or where ever :( For the half term holidays i was busy shopping in london with my Aunty and i loved it! London is just like my favourite place ever and I'm in a constant good mood whilst there; not like in cold,wet and windy Sheffield :( I wanted to tell you all what i bought whilst there as some of the things were such bargains!!




 
 
 
 
So the first thing i bought was this 'BOY LONDON' jumper which i am now obsessed with! I am so glad i bought it cause I'm always freezing when i go out because i haven't got many winter clothes yet but this goes perfectly with everything, and it was only £11! I then got this oxford uni jumper which i also love!!! I practically live in it at home because its all fluffy inside and again that was a bargain at £15! In camden i also got my lovely little baker street keyring which i adore.
We the got on the tube and off to oxford circus we went! Now lets get things straight.. THE TOPSHOP IS HUGGGEEEE! There was a map as soon as you walked in just so you could find your way around and it has 3 floors and the petite section is amazing and there is soo much make up and gifts which were so cute! I was walking round for ages picking up things i wanted to try on and in the end i got this gorgeous little tee dress in dark green with little speckles in the fabric, i love this dress i think its great for winter with tights and a leather jacket! I also got a new winter coat which I'm so in love with, i much prefer this one because of the checks on the back and it also has a black jersey hood.. I'm glad i got this one instead of the all karki green one because not many people have it.. YET! I also picked up a halloween coloured nail varnish!
The next day we went to Westfield Shopping at Stratford and i ended up getting a gorgeous LBD from Zara which i will be wearing to the killers tomorrow.. SO EXCITED! I also got the new Vaseline 'pink bubbly'. Although i cant exactly taste the pink bubbly as it just tastes and smells pretty much like normal Vaseline the tin is just so cute so i had to buy it.. of course!
And now that's everything.. all my purchases from london, which ones your fave?;)
