Aloha Sprinklerinos,
Every once in a while, you find something special. An article of clothing so magnificent that you can't bare to put it in your wardrobe and so lovely that every time you walk by you cant help but trace your fingers over the fabric.
Last month whilst we were shopping in Liverpool, Zoe and I spotted the new Ted Baker line and almost physically swooned.
Rather insanely, Zoe bought me one of the (crazy expensive!) dresses as my early birthday present. She is far, far too good. It was a little snug when I tried it on so it's a huge motivation to loose half a stone so I can look b-e-a-utiful in it. I think if I'd have bought it myself I wouldn't have felt so obliged but since someone else spent their pennies on me, it's a lot easier to choose soup over pizza!
My aim is to wear this dress for our meet-up at PlayList Live in Florida, which is about 2 weeks away, so hopefully I will have a successful OOTD for you by then.
Until then, I hope you enjoyed the sneak peaks. If you are tempted by this dress (and who wouldn't be?), mine was bought from John Lewis but weirdly, they don't seem to have it on their site. You can however buy it HERE, directly from Ted Baker. The sunglasses seemed to fit well with the 50's style dress and were bought from River Island a little while a go.
What do you think? The most amazing thing you've ever seen? Thought so ;)
Toodlepip!

ReplyDeleteWow, that dress looks super pretty. It'll make a great dress for Easter as well. It was nice of Zoe to splurge like that for you. My best friend bought my birthday present, but she can't give it to me until she wraps it. The thing is, my birthday was three months ago...

Love the dress!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I wouldn't recomend for you to try and lose half a stone in the short period of 2 weeks. Just take it slow, otherwise there is a higher chance of a weight rebound. Love you Louise xx
Woah she is generous, what a fabulous friend! I can definitely see you in this dress, mint with flowers, what could be more you?! haha :D
