I was blown away when I first saw this dress and couldn't wait till it hit the stores. It had the perfect colours, the perfect pattern and the perfect design. I'm talking about Em's Blogger Takeover dress from Simply Be.

I have had this dress since it first came out, but I have only worn it three times. Don't ask me why cause everytime I put it on I feel amazing.

I wore it to the office today and like before when I have worn it I get so many compliments about how flattering this dress is and how nicely it shows off my figure. And I can't do anything else than agree. As soon as I put it on I feel amazing and I automatically changes attitude and posture. It just makes me look 2 stone slimmer! Even if the dress shows off my belly which I normally hate, I don't mind it because the ruching across my tummy that kind of distracts from the fact that I have a big round belly and makes it flattering to have one. I bought this dress in size 22 and that is perfect. It fits so well over my boobs and at the same time it is not too baggy over my tummy or my hips which lots of other dresses does which makes me have to wear a belt with them.

Like I said I wore this dress to the office and wore patent black wedges with it, while in the pictures I'm at IKEA and I am wearing my trusted black flats that I have been wearing all summer. Couldn't imagine walking around at IKEA in wedges.. I think everyone that ever has been to IKEA know that when you go there your feet will get tired! :) I still think it looks really pretty.

I know this dress will be really good to wear in the winter since it is quite heavy. Instead of my bare legs I will wear it with tights or leggings and a cool leather jacket and boots of course.

A big thank you to Em for designing this dress and I really hope there will be more dresses like this.

I'm wearing my lovely silver bracelet that I made at arts and crafts in school when I was a teenager and it has followed me ever since. I will make a better post about it later as it probably is my most treasure item of jewelry. 

It was my birthday in July and as always
since I moved here to England my mother in law took us all out for a meal with the rest of the family. I choose to go to a Mexican restaurant in Guildford called Son of Sombrero. I love Mexican food so off course it world be a first choice. The food was delicious( We all shared nachos as a starter and then I had a lovely vegetarian Chimichanga) and most of us were wearing our sombreros that hung on our chairs when we arrived. After the meal I was surprised by the staff at the restaurant when they came playing with instruments and have me a glass filled with cream. The waiter said that is was a game cause I had to find the shot in the middle of the glass without using my hands, which meant that I had to dive in with my face. It was so much fun and I did find the shot and drank it all without using my hands. It was such a good laugh and I even signed the ceiling before I left:-P

 After the restaurant we all went home to ours for coffee and cakes and opening of presents I got a lot of nice stuff a you can see in the photos.

My favourite present I did get from my lovely husband. He have me this lovely heart shaped pendant from a local jewelry designer called Gemma J. It is such a timeless stunning piece of jewellery so I fell in love with it straight away.
He has good taste my husband. :)

All in all it was a great evening(although I think the very best present was when I spoke with my daughter on the phone. It was so good to hear her voice again. Miss her!)
