Alex got me this galaxy-esque dress from ASOS for christmas and I love it sooo much I have barely stopped wearing it! It's getting a bit gross, really. It's got a really lovely purple, blue and black tie-dye effect on it, so isn't 'in your face' galaxy print.
It's one of those 'smock' shapes that hide all manner of festive sins, but on the flip side could easily pass as maternity wear so either way you still kind of look a bit preggo. But I heart it. And only £25! (The gift was part of a wider ASOS haul, I don't just have the cheapest boyf of all time...)
Dress - ASOS
Pleather jacket - Topshop
Necklace - Me & Zena*
Boots - Jeffrey Campbell at Sarenza*
This is a snap of me from the Company Blogging Forum on Monday night, wear I was on the panel talking about bloggy things.
Speaking of bloggy things, Alex and I are FINALLY moving to London. In under two weeks! We're moving to Angel to a fab flat in a divine location (not gonna lie, I burst into tears o' joy after viewing the flat... It had been a long day!) SO without the commute I'll have 4 hours of extra time in my day and can finally resume my blogging activities. I can't wait!
So if any readers are still hanging on in there, firstly - YOU WIN, never liked those other readers anyway xxx, and secondly prepare to hear a lot more about my new life. It's gonna be fun-filled, action-packed and very foodie.
Stay tuned. And wish me luck with my millionth house-move... Eurggghhh. *Stay focused on the pretty new flat*...

Yes! Us tenacious readers are the best! Love the print on your dress. Hope the move goes well, I have to move soon too, am tempted to just throw away everything I own. Xx
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask how the house-things were going... Two weeks! How exciting! Very pleased that you've found a place and am looking forward to the forthcoming blogginess.
ReplyDeleteAlso- love that galaxy print dress and, weirdly enough, I've just written a post and am wearing one of those smock-types from Toppers and had just thought to to myself 'oh dear, I'm looking a bit chunky around the middle in this... oh well.'
Hopef see you before you move, or maybe we could meet in LDN when I'm on one of my Google visits, although I'm not sure how many more of those I'll have :-/ xx
