Burning Desire For You Baby.

Dress: c/o Desire Clothing. Belt: Primark. Leggings: Matalan.

The lovely ladie(s) over at Desire Clothing sent me this dress what feels like forever ago now but I've finally caught my breath and managed to take a few snaps for you! i have to admit I had briefly heard about Desire Clothing and just assumed it was a store very similar to places such as Misguided and Daisy street but I was certainly surprised when they contacted me for this as so many items on the Curve section of there site side are fab! Check out the site as they often have new bits and bobs in and I just had a look and want everything!

I utterly adore the lace detailing of the fabric around the neckline and how lovely it looks on the back as well. I've worn this pretty dressed down really, you could easily wear it for a formal occasion! I also love the fact the lining is shorter than the outer skirt of the dress! Meaning if it does shrink slightly it won't end up with the lining being longer which is a pet hate of mine and completely ruins a dress for me!

The only slight downside to this if it's even one is that the sizing is extremely generous I originally ordered my usual size 20 as in the past I've had pieces from KoKo by Koko ( which is the label on this dress) and had to size up but this time I sized down 2 sizes and I'm pretty certain a size 14 wouldn't of felt tight either. So if any of you are size 28+ I'm almost certain you'd all fit in this dress! Shock horror I'm baring my arms, I do realise they are the colour similar to a milk bottle but I don't care as I wanted to show of the back and how nice the dress is without ruining the line of the dress by throwing over a grim old cardigan! I just finished with a little gold shimmer on my eyelid, a slick of liner and my go to red lip! And finally I thought I'd just throw my hair up a little differently for a change, would you like me to pop some of my really naff hairstyle as it's something I can sit and do for ages!

All I know is we said "Hello".

 I have a love/hate relationship with Taylor Swift... I can dance around to a number of her songs (and even sing them word for word) but theirs something about her that really annoys me too... Probably that she's got around a large number of attractive men who I'd quite fancy my chances with!

anyway this video hardly has her in hence why I probably like it so much! I daren't confess to you HOW many times I've actually watched this (well into double figures) but what I will say is I may of had a little cry, because I'm over emotional and it basically shows to me to kids discovering friendship and maybe more? Just so you know for future reference the adorable ginger boy is how my children, If I have any will be like. I'm sure you all know I kind of think Ed Sheeran's alright.... and you can certainly tell he was heavily involved with the song and I'm partly guessing the video too, as he generally only has himself in a video as a minor part not the main focus which for all of Taylor's other videos she is. In my opinion it's beautifully done even if I didn't like both artists I'd probably still adore the video and song.

May I finally point out the end shot with the little ginger kid and Ed actually kills me. Genuinely hope I'm not the only one...


P.S I think I purely watch it for eds arms and face at the end as well.....

Victoria Baths.

 

 

Top: M&Co. Jeggings: New Look Inspire. Shoes: Primark. Bag: Vintage-Thrifted. Necklaces: Primark/ASOS.

Last Sunday my folks and I popped to Victoria Baths in Manchester for the Vintage Home Show they have there every now and then. Of course I fell in love with too many things but somehow restrained myself from buying EVERYTHING I would of liked and instead just picked up a few little pieces to add to my dressing table and a beautiful compact mirror, I even managed to barter on a few of them! These snaps are a mixture of my iPhone and digital camera as it's an old swimming baths There is a lot of light and sometimes my camera goes a little crazy there. This is honestly one of my favourite places and I'd really love to take some proper photo shoot like photographs here as it can make a beautiful backdrop. Victoria Baths also plays host to some truly wonderful stained glass windows. For the first time ever I didn't get chance to snap my favourite one but the window above is just in one of the changing stalls.

I just got my mum to snap the full length of shots me while we were in a quieter pool, though a few people did suddenly walk in which is probably why I look a little awkward! It was pretty warm so I wore something comfortable as I was feeling less than perky anyway. I picked up this top in the M&Co sale, they don't show up well in the pictures but the stripes are all done as adorable scalloped edging. The jeggings you saw in my last post too, sorry I seem to have worn them a fair bit lately the only downside being they fall down A LOT so I have to do the comedy wiggly to pull them back up! I kept my make up it's usual self which is concealer and powder with some form of red lip, I was wearing my beloved Revlon just bitten lip stain as it's easy to wear and reapply without feeling very when it's warm. All in all a lovely day and I even got ice cream at the end!
