The Cold Shoulder Dress

Many a time you have known me to proclaim undying love regarding a dress.

And i'm about to do it again.

I picked this little number up last week when Grazia had a voucher for 25% off at River Island.

I have been loving RI again lately (you may have noticed), they really have something there for everyone right now(not like it used to be when it was very much only for young-trendy-super-hip kids wearing the latest transparent pvc type thing :p), from smart trousers to super lovely frocks, a la this one! I stumbled across the 'Cold Shoulder' style by accident but am very happy i have. This particular dress is the most comfy, fun and easy-going dress. I actually have this one in my virtual cart also as they are just so easy to wear. Hubby loves it too which is a win win in my books..

Lately i have worn this out for lunch, shopping and playing football on the weekend with the family. The light tshirt like fabric makes it cool and airy and the fall of the dress makes it swooshy and twirly..

Deee-lightful!!

It's also really great at hiding the fact that i may have had a few too many ice creams lately!

I've paired it with my coral heels here for a dressier look, but have also worn it with black wedges and flat sandals. Its just so easy. I would imagine it would look pretty great with some ankle boots too!

Flowy cold shoulder dress, i just can not fault you!

Perfect Polkadot Dress

Sometimes a polkadot dress is just the perfect mood lifter. This beauty is Debbie's from f&f for our little #frockswapuk. So far Debbie and Erica have styled it and now me, and each of us have fallen hopelessly in love with it.
This dress is the best twirling floaty feel good dress i have worn in a long time. Hubs loved it and was gutted i had to forward it on to Donna. But i can't wait to see how she also styles it and if she loves it as much as the rest of the frock swappers.
I was surprised by how this dress could be dressed up or down. I thought this outfit with the coral and heels would be perfect for a summer date or even a causal wedding. Then in summer, some gorgeous gold sandals would look beautiful too.. It's dress love people! Plus when Neo (my son) saw me he said;
"Mummy you look like Elsa" I mean it's nothing like Elsa from Frozen but i think in 3 year old talk that means "wow mummy you look pretty in that dress" haha! bless him!!
