The Magic Dress!

Ah it's been such a long time again! I am still surviving... only just mind you! Life has been a bit on the crappy side lately(as has my internet connection!) in fact things have been stressful and bleigh since plus London :-( ...and that's a long time to be in life limbo. Anyway there is now a little light at the end of the tunnel but before that we are about to enter a month or so of hell! I need you lovely people to keep your fingers, toes and everything crossed for me!

Before I launch into content I have to apologise I can't go to Big Beach Bums :-( I was looking forward to going to Brighton too but life has thrown up some major accommodation issues lately and it's just too tricky :-(

Anyway onto the content I promised, this is a Wendy fashion blog afterall!

I will start with the headliner of the magic dress...

I am so so proud of this outfit! I bought this dress (if you're quick they still have size 22- which is what i'm wearing incidentally) in Monsoon and although it was expensive but it was such a smart buy, here it's dressed down for daytime but it could be so easily dressed up for evening wear (with a red or bright coral or even pink!) which I intend to do very soon!

It's Magic isn't it? I think it's some sort of chevron based optical illusion that shrinks my waist! Here are some more pics:

The Shoes are from New look and they are fantastic to wear but so cheapass that they are pretty much ruined (and I bought them three/four weeks ago grr!) The photo 'shoot'(lol!) was in the grounds of Bleinheim palace, at the moment we live close by (alas not for very long at all!)

On to other things, I have bought a few bits and bobs lately, because its sort of summer I bought a couple of summer hats:

I bought this top from Evans: (although this is a size 26! the lady in the shop said that other people have complained that it comes up small and it does!) This is not a great Picture but hey ho never mind!

The last outfit I have to show you is from my 30th(urgh! 30) birthday weekend in Brighton, Here I'm doing a Brighton wordsearch on the window of a bookshop! This top is from TK Maxx (alas good things are hard to come by there! But I go in occasionally for a rumage!) I think its a bit 50's in its crazy fruit print! The Jeans are from Evans, they are flares and I am realy impressed with them, they have a little stretch but are not baggy, Sadly I don't have a better photo of them. I am wearing a 22 here.

Once again I'm sorry for the blog blackout, I shall be back soon hopefully to show you my new Ruby Rocks Purchase! Eek hope I like it and it fits! (again fingers crossed!) I bought on of the new dresses from style 369 I'll let you ponder on which one! I hope you are all happy in life and the world is treating you well, if not I know how you feel and there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
