My name is Lisa and I am a denim nut.
There I said it I love jeans, there is nothing like a well fitting flattering pair of denims to make you feel like strutting your stuff all ova Town, hmmmm hm. Sorry. Anyway you now what I mean a good pair of jeans is essential in any woman’s wardrobe, it you don’t wear jeans then get outta town. All my life I have been a denim devotee, baggy ones, bootleg ones, straight legs ones, skinny ones, shorts and skirts you name it I’ve got it. Now my tastes are fickle and I change them as and when I see fit because it’s a woman’s prerogative to change their mind (wow for the feminists, not!). once upon a time I would of worn a bootleg jean now there is 89% no way I will wear bootleg jeans, just cause.
In fact now that I have started lets have a run down of my denim no goes, see if there is any you agree with.
- Bootleg jeans
- Jeans with and sort of diamante on them
- Three quarter length
- Very light stone wash
- Likewise brilliant matt blue jeans (teacher on a school outing stylee)
- Unflattering high wasted jeans (we’re talking camel territory here)
- Long or midi denim skirts, in fact I don’t think I would wear any denim skirts these days (Just cause I’m getting on a bit, well 24)
I think we’ll leave it there because there are just so many things I do like. My ideal jeans are a medium to dark blue wash, skinny so tight around the ankles, quite large plain back pockets (you now what I’m talking about!) and not high waisted but not quite hipster and of a nice textured denim (not too stretchy not too sturdy). Now I’m not asking for much!
Fear not my friends because I have happened upon a pair of such described, coveted denim for……………….£20. I love my new pair of jean genies because they were just so damn reasonable in price. A new online store I have just recently rediscovered again is Awear they have an excellent selection of womens jeans for your delectation. Here’s a little pic of my new pair…
“It’s that time of year again, lots of presents, lots of fun lalalalalalalalalaaaaaaaaaa”
Well maybe not but the festive season is creeping up on us ready to delight and to bring much damage to one’s bank balance. Organisation anyone? Nah, that’s boring isn’t it, how many times have we said, “Right, I’m going to be ready this year.” I’m talking lists, saving and spreading the cost, how about a mad last minute dash?
Forgetting all that what’s the most important or rather best part of Christmas? Party dresses of course! When else is it acceptable to adorn oneself in diamante galore and perhaps if your boyfriends not looking the fabulously tacky faux fur coat, you know what I’m talking about! Usually you would not get me within a hundred foot of anything with a remotely sparkly nature, no diamante jewellery; sparkly is a no go for me. BUT, the festive time is somewhat of an exception to my aversion to the glittery side of life, I allow an indulgence in a bit of glitz.
This brings me to one of my purchases of the recent weeks my sparkly, in fact very sparkly cream body con dress from my new favourite. I absolutely adore this dress, it was in expensive is flattering and totally ideal for nights out and functions around this time of year. Now you did hear me correctly I did say body con as this is indeed a slinky number but with the assistance of some ‘shape control’ (read belly busting) underwear, we are all set to go.
My advice for choosing your perfect party dress for this festive season is to try TRY and find something you are relatively comfortable in. Now I don’t mean completely substitute substance for style but don’t buy something you are going to be fretting in all night, or yanking up or down all night; remember you want to have fun.
Plus I just had to add this in here, yesterday I found out about the existence of Swarovski toes a pedicure that covers your toes in Swarovski crystals, eh yes please?! Go just great with my favourite new peep toes platform wedge shoe boots!
I just love doing these posts it’s the grown up equivalent of cutting and sticking, I’ll be back with a review later in the week, with Revlon Colour Stay.
