DRESS CHALLENGE UPDATE

a couple of weeks ago i posted about my aqua couture dress which didn't fit when it was delivered....well after just over two weeks of running, squeezing, prodding and pulling i managed to get into it and wear it for my friend's birthday party! i got so many compliments on the dress and i felt amazing - well worth the investment!

PARK LIFE

i've been living in dissertation hell for the last few weeks so to take my mind off it i went on a little road trip with my housemate, Elli. We ventured to a place called Hamworthy Park, just outside of Poole which is a cute little park with a beach and also the coolest (i'm easily amused) playground which was like a gym but for children! We had a little play on that, then fed the ducks and ate 99 ice creams by the sea...honestly was one of the nicest days i've had in a long while!

WIWT

i might be a little bit late to the party, but i've just discovered outfit sharing website What I Wore Today! It's a great site (almost a social networking site) inspired by Poppy Dinsey's blog where users upload photos of their outfits to share with other users who can give 'kudos' and users are encouraged to 'tag' their clothing to allow others to shop their look! I really like the concept of the site and feel that it is a lot less intimidating than similar websites like Lookbook where all the users seem to be stunningly attractive and amazing at photography!

I've been posting a couple of outfits over the last few days and i must be doing something right as i've been increasing in Kudos and was featured as an 'editors choice' on the home-page! The thing i like most about the site is that you get to see different styles and get inspiration for your own outfits, i've included a couple of my favourite looks below!

THE 16 DAY DRESS CHALLENGE

My friend's 21st birthday is coming up on the 18th February and i ordered a gorgeous new dress from Aqua Couture to wear which i excitedly opened this morning upon delivery by the postman....but to my dismay it's too small! i've checked the website and it isn't avaliable in a bigger size so.....i've set myself the 16 DAY DRESS CHALLENGE.

There is no exciting 'lose-weight FAST' plan that i've found, just the sheer desire to wear the dress which is going to hopefully motivate me to get my lazy self down the gym. i'm not even sure that this can be done but i am going to give it my best shot and hopefully in 17 days i will sharing a photo of me wearing this bloody dress! Wish me luck! 

DONE OUT IN DECO

thought i'd embrace the pastels trend at the moment & coat my nails in my favourite OPI shade Done out in Deco. I usually have Shellac gels on my nails so it's not often that i get a chance to put a polish on so thought i'd have a double OPI hit by applying Rainbow Connection on top!
