Goodness it’s been a mighty ol’ while since I have done one of these posts, I feel I have so much to share – especially in terms of what’s hot in the shops!

In fact I have so much I’m going to do my best to create a pretty list and as many images as I can muster…..

Girly Dresses

Now you may or may not know but as much as I love looking at and can often be found admiring a super cute dress I don’t really wear them.

Why?

Because I feel a bit of a pilok in a frock to be honest.

I am very much “me” in a pair of jeans, a funky T-shirt and a blazer and that’s how I feel most comfortable, the amount of dresses I have purchased and ended up not wearing/taking back is verging on the completely ridiculous.

Until I met Rebecca that is.

Rebecca is very much a girly girl, all skirts and Mary Jane shoes and frilly bits…. looks fancy schmancy without even trying and actually made me want to invest in a few more permanent lovely-lady-like wardrobe items.

So I have.

At French Connection.

When I first saw the Meadow Jersey Dress on the hanger I was a bit “Oh looks a bit….dull?” but let me tell you it is anything but – slinky, ULTRA flattering, bust enhancing and thrown on with a pair of black tights, killer heels and a long cardigan you can do that whole winter floral fashionista/sexy librarian thing.

The Sahara Stripe Dress was my “work” purchase, again looks great with black tights ( Am a big fan of Wolford Matt effect and more recently Topshop 120 denier – genius legwear at only £8), majorly comfortable and has great swishiness…. ( No clue if that is a word but I kind of like it)

See I can do a bit of a frill, even if it is only a sleeve

The T-Time Dress is a bargain at £35 and as well as black comes in a delicious plum and prom pink….colour me beautiful.

The Big 3 -0

Yep that’s right folks in the not too distant future I will be turning 30. And I won’t lie – I have been pretty fed up with the whole thing for a good few months now.

But do you know what?

To hell with it – I am going to celebrate turning 30 years YOUNG and in true O’Shea style am throwing a last minute birthday party complete with live band, D.I.Y photo booth and a full on “Cool Britannia” theme.

I actually took inspiration for my birthday bash from a Rock My Wedding mood board would you believe:

Have a look at the entire post here if you fancy something similar for your rehearsal dinner/engagement party/any bl*ody excuse to have a good time.

Next to consider of course for such a significant coming of age is what I actually want as a gift, not necessarily from anyone else either. Maybe just a treat to myself from myself…. why not.

Happy Birthday me.

And on the wish list?

Well I have to say I am having somewhat of a Lady Luxe moment folks:

The Datya leather jacket from All Saints, tried it on in the Birmingham store… BIG MISTAKE.

Because now I am in love with it.

Crystal Snowflake earrings by Erickson Beamon are simply to-die-for beautiful. If you are a winter bride – heck ANY bride please please consider these beauties.

The over-sized Alexa bag by Mulberry. No I could never be as cool as Madam Cheung and frankly the waiting list is apparently as long as the nile but still – I wouldn’t mind a piece of her arm candy.

Valentines Day

I hope everyone had a great one and enjoyed our “Get Sexy” week.

I received a card from my husband that simply said “You Rock My World” on the front.

He in return got one that just read “I Love You”

Sometimes you don’t need to say a lot to mean a lot.

Big Wifey Love
