You learn something new everyday...

I realise that I've not updated for ages and to my followers I apologise.

Wait, what's that? 

I have no followers other than my two flatmates?

Awkward...

Anyhoo, guess what I learned to do?! 



Yep, you guessed it, I learnt to look like a psychopath use the timer setting on my camera; meaning that now I am no longer limited to photographing myself in the mirror and looking like a chavvy idiot. Unless of course chavvy idiot happens to be all the rage in which case words must be eaten and Burberry knock-off's bought. Daniella Westbrook eat your heart out.

Back to the point... (I joke. This is a fashion blog and therefore without a point) In honour of my technical skills advancing from retard to mild retard I decided to photograph two new dresses that I got in the sales. The first dress being £25.00 from Miss Selfridge and kind of the dress version of a mullet... A pleasant description if ever there was one. Look:


Unfortunately at this stage in the outfit documenting the whole concept of a timer was unknown to me and so a chavvy photo was born. Anyhoo as you can see this dress is longer at the back that the front. Cool, no? It also came with a cute brown plaited belt that nips me in nicely at the waist; I'm all about the defined waist. 


Plus I'm a sucker for anything floral. 

'Oh, but Helen wherever did you wear this marvellous dress?' I hear you cry...Well it's funny that you should ask that as I actually wore it to the Manchester Mela. For those of you unfamiliar with what a Mela is, its an Asian festival which has lots of yummy food. Translation: I stuffed my face. 

The other dress that I got was from my beloved Zara; if I could marry a shop this would be it- just think how stylish yet weirdly conceived  our babies would be! And at a mere £15.99 this dress is an absolute bargain!


Retro dance moves are a speciality of mine.

Ideally I'd have the dresses waist on my actual waist so that I look less bulky but I just couldn't resist the easiness of this dress. Its ridiculously easy to throw on and go, so much so that I've practically lived in it these past few days. It's perfect for the days when you just don't know what to wear. I've even gone back to Zara and purchased an almost identical dress (still in the sale mind you) as I love it that much.


Oh, and did I mention that the pattern looks like bacteria reproducing? Man, I'm cool.

All in all I'm very pleased with these two dresses. In fact in celebration I think I'll give you a little treat, known as... drum roll please... PHOTO OUT-TAKES!!!

Enjoy...




I apologise on behalf of my eyebrows... And facial expressions in general...

Sorry. I couldn't help it. Honest.
