Pretty in pink

Pink hasn't always been a favourite of mine. I always feel too girly when I wear pink, it doesn't suit my personality as much as the colour green and blue does. However, this beauty was from Missguided, and I knew it had to come away with me as soon as I laid eyes on it. The baby pink colour is absolutely beautiful, and it wasn't too much either. The dress itself is very light considering it’s a ribbed body con. I've always preferred ribbed details for when it comes to wearing tight dresses; they don’t seem to show as many flaws due to their thicker material. I normally take a size 6 in clothing; however, size 6 was out of stock so I ended up getting an 8, which I’m really happy about. The bigger size gave me space to move, and I didn't feel as bad when I bloated after the amazing meal I had in the evening. I basically lived of seafood paella when I was away, and who wouldn't? Spanish food is my favourite (other than Italian, Italian always wins). The sunset was amazing again that night, and I had the loveliest evening with my other half.  

I paired the dress up with my amazing tie up beauties from Public Desire. Oh my, these shoes are heaven. I not only have them in nude, I also have them in black. They go with everything, ultimate tie up shoe porn. I wore minimum makeup again, and had my hair slung to the side (I was in the pool that day and didn't wash my hair after which was a massive mistake, but I made do). I didn't bother with jewellery other than earrings because a dress like this doesn't need anything added, it’s beautiful on its own.

Unluckily, you can’t purchase this dress at the moment because it’s out of stock. However, due to popular demands, I’m sure it’ll be back on the website soon. The shoes are still available on the Public Desire website to buy, go get em’ girls!

Is everyone ready for this weekend? I know I’m not; juggling too jobs can be a nightmare at times. However, I found the perfect dress for my birthday so I’m buzzing my head off. I've had a lovely week, even though I've worked loads, I've managed to fit some of my favourite people into my life, and I've also indulged in some amazing healthy foods (sticking to my health craze at the moment, doing well considering all I want to do is shovel the fattiest lasagne I can find into my mouth). I suppose spending time with the people you love most is what life is all about isn't it? I need to remember that always, I’m such a workaholic when I want to be. I'm looking forward to a nice Monday off though, let's hope it's a sunny one!

Every Cinderella has her midnight

'Even miracles take a little time' - The Fairy god mother

Over 60 years have gone by since Disney first introduced iconic princesses to the world, however Cinderella is getting a reboot. With the release of Cinderella this week, Disney fans both old and new have an official invitation to the princes royal ball. I couldn't resist writing a quick post about my favourite Disney princess of all time.

When you think Cinderella, you automatically picture images of glass slippers, pumpkin coaches and an annoying clock that strikes at midnight, ruining the whole perfect happily ever after. However, for me.. it's all about that dreamy blue gown she wears to the ball and the ultimate fetish shoe (the glass slipper). We've only ever had the cartoon version, however, with the new release, we now have the real thing, and I for one am definitely not disappointed.

The gown is breath-taking, it looks so dream-like with all the sparkles and shines. Imagine wearing this dress?! I would probably never take it off.

Can we just take a minute to appreciate these dresses please? I can't stop swooning. Despite the Fairy Godmothers talent with a wand, Sandy Powell is the women to thank for both these creations. 

I immediately wish I could have both of these dresses in my wardrobe (I probably don't own a wardrobe big enough to store them in... but hey ho, a girls gotta' do what a girl's gotta' do). Unluckily... I have no Fairy God Mother so that dream will never come true. I particularly adore the delicate, flowery detail on the second dress, which is in fact Cinderella's wedding dress in the film (swoon swoon swoon).

The blue ball gown is the most impressive out of the two, boasting hundreds of fabric layers, each a different shade of purple and blue (two of my favourite colours mixed together... perfect), as well as 10,000 crystals. However, as if the gown wasn't spectacular enough,  have you seen the shoes!? I was lucky enough to see them being displayed in the Liverpool Odeon cinema. The butterfly crystal slippers sparkled all the way down the hallway, I couldn't take my eyes away. Cinderella is proof that a pair of shoes can change your life.

I can't wait to go see this film myself, I'm a complete softy for a good love story... but isn't every girl? I've had dreams since I was a youngster about wearing dresses like these and having that perfect 'happily ever after' story of my own, and like the name of my post "Every Cinderella has her midnight".
