WARDROBE 1 | The Sparkle Edition

If I know anything, it's that I absolutely love getting dressed up ready to go out! And what better way is there to dress up than with sparkles and glitter?!  
Today, I'd like to share with you my top 3 favourite dresses that have been jazzed up with sparkles, sequins, and sparkling sequinney (not even sure if that's a word, but it is now!) patterns!  

                     DRESS 1                                        DRESS 2                                         DRESS 3

Dress 1 - Topshop

I purchased this bodycon silver glitter dress for £30 in the January sales. When I first saw it on the hanger I wasn't sure if I would like it on, but I was very wrong! Its so comfortable and fits perfectly. The dress is quite simple but with the addition of sparkles and the cutting detail at the bottom, I feel that not much more is needed! It is very short so I do have to be careful when bending over, but other than that I'm really pleased with this little bargain.

Dress 2 - ASOS 

This dress is one of my absolute favourites! My sister bought me this dress as a Christmas gift in 2013. Its COVERED in red sequins and is perfect for the Christmas season!

 The skater style is so flattering; it sits in at the waist and flows out at towards the bottom. I don't usually like skater style dresses as I have quite big hips and I just feel its not as flattering, but I take it back with this dress! 

This dress has a scooped back meaning that a bra will be seen if worn, but because it fits so well around the chest area (not too tight, not too loose) I can get away with not wearing one! 

Dress 3 - Topshop

I bought this dress my Works Christmas do in 2013 and I've loved it and worn it many times ever since! Its a bodycon dress - a style I tend to wear a lot of as I feel its most flattering towards my body shape - and it has the most beautiful pattern printed all over it. It's very much like a leaf pattern and has the colours red, pink and gold that merge together, and of course it has glitter all over it too!

This dress also has a scooped back, but slightly higher up compared to Dress 2. 

3 different styled dresses all made up with glitter and sparkles! Which one is your favourite?! Do you have a dress in your wardrobe that makes you feel like a diamond when you wear it?!

Do you have any pets?

Favourite Perfume?

Daisy Eau so Fresh by Marc Jacobs. For Christmas I got La Vie Est Belle by LANCOME which I am also really liking at the moment.

Favourite Holiday?

When I was little myself and my family used to go to Suffolk every year in the Summer to see our family. Its so peaceful and tranquil in Suffolk, there's hardly any street lights around the Countryside so at night the Stars shone so bright! We still try and go to Suffolk but not every year. By far my favourite holiday, so many good memories.

Are you married?
No.

Have you been out of the country, if so how many times?
Yes I have. I live right on the boarder between England and Wales so I couldn't tell you the exact amount of times! The furthest I've been out of my country was to Paris on a school trip when I was in High School.

Do you speak any other language?
Not fluently, no. I learnt French and Welsh in School but what I can remember is very little.

How many siblings do you have?
2. I have a younger brother who is 15, and an older sister. She is 28.

What is your favourite shop?
Topshop all the way, I practically live there. I also LOVE the bath and cosmetics shop LUSH.

Favourite Restaurant?
I think my favourite place to eat is Chiquitos. I love most of the food they serve, I have been there quite a lot over the past few months.

When was the last time you cried?
Yesterday, please don't laugh at the reason why! On Saturday and the early hours of Sunday morning, I had been watching the first two Hobbit films as I was seeing the final film on the Sunday afternoon. The last film was so sad in some parts, I may have shed a few tears... Yes, I will admit I get very emotional at sad films!

Favourite Blog?
I love Amy Valentine's blog. 

Favourite Movie?

Favourite TV Show?
I'm OBSESSED with The Big Bang Theory! Best TV Show out there in my opinion!

I've always been used to using PC's but when I was studying Art and Design in college I used a Mac computer and I loved it. I've recently invested in a Mac Book and its winning me over very quickly.

What phone do you have?
