Mysterious and spooky, altogether ooky.

There are few things I want in life. The perfect red coat. The perfect red dress. The perfect pair of red leather ballet pumps. A big old wad of cash. Oh, and a dress that makes me look like Wednesday Addams.

I'm sure I'll get the rest, eventually (who knew I was so obsessed with red, huh?) but at least for now, I can tick the last one off the list. See, every black Peter Pan collared dress I've seen has been shift style. Which I just misspelled, aptly, because that's how I feel about shift style. I've seen some CRAZY pretty shift dresses, but I have to face it. They make me look pregnant. And I'm NOT pregnant. When I eventually AM pregnant, I will be rocking the shift dress, YOU MARK MY WORDS. But for now... NO. I have a waist, damnit, and I demand that it is seen!

Anyway, to summarise, then Boohoo brought out this dress and I bought it and now I have one although it is still slightly too high waisted for my liking and hey look at my pretty new boots (THEY WERE ELEVEN POUNDS).

Is it me, or do I look like an eight year old here? NEARLY THIRTY PEOPLE.
There are clouds on my nails but you can't really see them. If you followed me on Instagram, you would be feeling smug and knowledgeable by now. 

Dress - Boohoo
Boots & Necklace - New Look
Bag & Ring - Topshop
Belt - H&M

I wore this ensemble to the ZOMG Blogger Bash on Monday, organised by Zoe and ReeRee to launch their new lipstick collab. It was a fab night of catching up with lovely ladies and meeting some new ones, even though I did, predictably, spend most of the night gossiping in a corner with Amy and didn't take enough photos, really. BUT LOOK AT OUR COOL HATS.


Also, there was burlesque, which was AMAZING. I didn't get to try the lipstick out though, because I got there late, which was a shame as I keep hearing how good ReeRee's lipsticks are for pale girls. NEXT TIME.


Oh, btw, sorry FriFro is late this week. I mean, it's still FRIDAY, but, y'know, late. I have been working a LOT lately. But today my boss bought me sweets, Burger King AND a glass of wine before we went home, so I don't mind TOO much.

What are you doing this weekend? Mine will involve yet more wine... and probably powerpoint presentations. MAYBE TOGETHER. Probably not. BUT MAYBE.

I'm an idiot.
