Today is a big day for one of my favourite stores, Lady Lucy Rules Ok, because it is seven years since they opened for business! To celebrate, they have released a special limited edition heart logo necklace, complete with a charm in the shape of their famous lipstick lightning bolt! It is super cute so try and snap one up while you can! Unfortunately, I am trying to save at the moment so I cannot justify one for myself, but I hope some of you are able to get one and enjoy it as much as I’m sure I would!
Also, the new collection will be launching soon so all of their current stock is on sale! There are some really gorgeous brooches, pins, necklaces and more so make sure you check them all out at their bargain prices. You can also get a Lucky Dip bag for £10 which contains 5 surprise items. The lucky dip bags are GREAT! I have had one before and everything I got in it was brilliant. As soon as the new collection launches, you can sure I’ll be writing about it!
Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I had two Uni assignments due in which took up all of my time. Yuck. However, I am back today and ready to tell you about some nautical themed dresses available to buy on the highstreet. I know its still freezing and hardly the time to want to be wearing a pretty striped spring/summer dress, but we can dream right? Well here are some of the ones I have been dreaming about anyway. Lets hope the weather picks up soon so they can be worn!
On the left is a jersey tunic dress from Joules. I actually bought this yesterday so of course it had to be included. One thing to be wary about with Joules clothing, is I often find their stuff comes up quite small. I bought this dress a size up than I normally wear. While it did look nice in my normal size, it was more fitted which I think would have been fine if I was only going to wear it as a top but as I’m intending to wear it as a dress I went a size up to get a loser fit. It was also slightly shorter in the smaller size. The dress on the left is from Miss Selfridge and is really cute. I have seen it in store a few times and have been very tempted to buy it but haven’t yet. Maybe in the sale if I’m lucky! But it really is cute!
On the left is a dress from River Island. I really like the bow detail on the one shoulder, but I am not too keen on dresses with only one sleeve etc. I’ll look out for it in store though to see what its like in real life. Lastly, the dress on the right is from BooHoo. Not much to say about it apart from its cute, it fits the nautical stripe theme, and its pretty cheap too! (Though I have never bought anything from them before so no idea if cheap price means cheap quality. Hope not!)
Emma Watson’s collection from People Tree has been launched and I wanted to do a post on it because, well, I think its lovely! Emma, as you all should know unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for years, is the young actress who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films. She has teamed up with People Tree to create a collection of clothing for young people that is made from organic materials and in adherence with fair trade principles. That means that the people who make the clothes are getting paid a good wage for it.
there are items for boys and girls (men and women 
) but of course, I am going to look at the girls stuff here. There was a lovely article in the Mail on Sunday’s You magazine about the collection featuring some lovely photos which I will use below to talk about the items I like the most.
In the image above (click to see it bigger) Emma is wearing the Loretto Button Dress. It comes in three colours; light grey, blue and red, but I think the light grey that Emma is wearing is the nicest. The only possible problem I can foresee with the dress is that it seems quite short so that might be something to be mindful of if you are a little conscious of showing your legs!
In the image above, Emma is wearing my favourite item from the collection which is the Do Not Panic Scoop Dress. I have been looking around for a nice t-shirt dress and this one is really nice so I think it might just need to be ordered! The Skinny Knit Scarf she is wearing is nice too but I can live without that.
Other items from the collection that are also worth a mention include the Daisy Chain Dress (though I prefer things with sleeves), the Kelly Contrast Trim Caridgan, and the Silver Sweetie Wrapper Jewellery (although annoyingly you have to buy it in and earrings and necklace set which is annoying and a waste for people like myself who don’t wear earrings).
