Clearly the computer fixing people don’t share the same sense of urgency as I do, because my laptop is STILL not back,
but with a lot of patience I am able to update the blog, and even comment on a few…but not as many as I’d like, because this beast tends to crash every couple of sites.
Well, it’s Saturday again, weekends are coming around way too fast for my liking; I mean, it’s pretty much almost Christmas. Fear.
Life has started to pick up it’s pace a bit around here which is great. I’ve had a fairly hectic week and loved every second of it. Yesterday was the best day, by far. Shopping in the morning followed by a trip to the theatre with my Best Friend to see Beauty and the Beast in the evening. If you get a chance, go and see it…so much fun (though the songs WILL be stuck in your head for days!)
A crisis of confidence (and lack of suitable bra) meant I didn’t wear my dress kindly sent by Vera Moda as planned, I opted for my black and white Anna Sui instead that I got for a steal in the outnet birthday sale earlier this year. I did however snap a few pictures of the dress, and jeans that I was sent. And expect to see them feature in up-coming posts.
The dress is the perfect mix of fabric and leather and has the most amazing back detail that makes me think of a tuxedo for some reason.
The jeans are also fabulous, although a tad too small at the moment, but given a few months, when things have settled they should be perfect!
Don’t forget Vera Moda are opening their London flagship store next Thursday (the 4th). Follow them on twitter and head on down to Oxford Street for you chance to win amazing prizes.
Tabio also very kindly sent me a thank you package this week…check out the haul!
Other new things this week include some wedge heel ankle boots and an awful lot of Nail Polish.
Welcome to broke-dom Laura. Congratulations.
And finally, here is an outfit I wore this week. I bought this dress back in the summer in a fit of online shopping to make up for not being able to visit the shops. Luckily it still fits and can be adapted for winter just fine!
Sorry for the epic post!
I hope your having an awesome weekend…what are your Halloween plans? Mine; staying in, watching x-factor and scaring the trick or treaters when they dare knock on our door.
Aren’t I just lovely?!

The dress is stunning, I’m sure you’ll get another wear out of it soon!
Love your outfit! It’s just perfect and those shoes are awesome! 🙂
Shame you didn’t feel confident enough to wear the Vero Moda dress but hopefully that’ll change 🙂
Have fun scaring the trick or treaters =)
I love the dresses in this post! you’re looking so amazing nowadays:D xx
unfortunately, no halloween party for me. but ive got an alternative plan that’s bound to be quite good as well. but enough about that, let’s talk about the GORGEOUS vera moda dress! i love, love the back and the silhouette suits you perfectly!
i havent been shopping much, which is sad, but i intend to get a new pair of black boots. as soon as i find a pair that i like. ive become ever so picky.

Love the white dress, and the black dress come to think of it! You always look fab and can’t wait to see how you style up all of the Tabio stuff! I got the garter tights too…
Oh that black dress is gorgeous! Love the unusual cut at the back.
Sounds like you’ve been having a great weekend 🙂 I’m working tomorrow, DOOM! Today is a quiet day – housework and suchlike to be done.
You are so lovely! I wish you would have worn the new dress, but I understand the confidence (and lack of bra lol) issues. I think we all have those times (just remember that beauty and confidence really come from within). btw, I love seeing shows!! I haven’t been to one is way too long though. For Halloween I’m going to dress as a ballerina and go to a few parties with friends, but I’d love to stay in and scare trick-or-treaters too 🙂
what a stunning, classic dress. cute jeans too! I love the bird pattern on the last dress too!
Thank you SO much for your comment, it meant a lot, you know it 🙂
Loved this post and the dress. It indeed resembles a tuxedo and it’s very very elegant*
I’m glad to see your happy feelings and thoughts through this post***
that dress is gorgeous, what unique detailing and it does resemble a tuxedo in some way, it’s fab! lucky girl! also, the light dress is very pretty and delicate.
