seven little number, baby I know yours by heart

 Dress - Topshop // Belt - Vintage // Lips - Brighton Rock (Topshop)

If you follow me on instagram you will know I was mentioned in COSMOPOLITAN magazine by the beautiful Estée from essiebutton I was so excited, I have now framed the page and it's hanging in my downstairs loo. I'm not one for new year resolutions but this year I am going to concentrate on making Blue Rinse a success, I have a passion for vintage fashion and I want to share my styling with you guys more often, I know we are still only in January but so far I'm keeping to my promise. I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it, the winter burgundy really compliments my hair colour and skin tone and best of all makes my waste look tiny! Since having my extensions I haven't really styled my hair like this, I've really missed it and I forgot how much I liked it.

In the last month I have put on half a stone and it's become really noticeable, it's time to get fit and motivated any diet suggestions welcomed, veggie of course.
Tomorrow I am recording my first ever youtube video, wish me luck!

The Modern Prom

A modern spin on the 1950's Prom dress. My figure doesn't usually suit this style as I am very busty but I found this at River Island, I know I never usually shop there but I was browsing and stumbled across this little gem. The detailing on the back is so pretty too. I am hoping to find a petty coat to accentuate the full skirt. 

The delicate pattern and light weight material make this perfect for a pleasant summers day, if we ever get one here in Wales.

This week has been so much fun, I have decided on not one but two summer holidays. I booked to visit my wonderful friends in Holland next month and then heading out to a yoga retreat in Morocco in late September, so I will definitely get a chance to wear this pretty dress at some point.

Do you have any Summer holidays planned?
