Flirty 30's

 Ann Harvey dress number two! Again - a much shorter version than what you'll see on the website, but this time round the item is described as a 'tunic top' so I should have suspected that it wouldn't actually be knee-length!

Sorry about the not-so-auto-focused self timer pics! So the tunic. I love this print, and the length gave me a good excuse to wear my old knee-high socks (bought years ago from Ann Summers FYI - because I know I'll be asked about them!). I may be nearly 33 years old, but that won't stop me dressing like an extra from Clueless!

 The fabric is slinky and stretchy and very comfy. This is a size 22 and it's a perfect fit.

 The best thing about this tunic is the little pleat at the small of the back that gives more room for a big booty - and therefore a lovely shape! I wore this to the cinema tonight and was nice and comfy.

I think I'll get lots of wear out of this - I'm certain to wear it with trousers, but as I said, I like the print so I think this will be one to tuck into skirts too! As with the dress I posted yesterday, this tunic is in the sale and it's only £10.50! This is a great dress for anyone who likes mini's or is shorter than me, and a great top for tall gals (or anyone who likes to cover their bum but still wear something shapely!). Get it here! 

Thanks very much to Ann Harvey for sending me these pieces to review!

Cass meets Ann Harvey

I've never tried Ann Harvey before, so when I was offered the chance to review some clothes I jumped at the chance! Ann Harvey is now being sold through Bonmarche, so it's an easy online experience. I was kindly sent two items to review, so here is the first!

I have to mention the length because it will be the most obvious difference when you look at the pictures on the website - It's really quite short. I'm not sure if the Ann Harvey model on the site is quite short (I'm a bit taller than average, but I wouldn't be described as tall!) because both items I've been sent are considerably shorter in real life than in the pictures online! This dress is basically a mini on me, but I'm cool with that! It looks more like a mini in the picture of it off the model, so maybe pay attention to those shots when ordering - tip of the day!

 I don't often wear such short dresses, but this one REALLY spoke to my inner teenager - I would have KILLED for this outfit when I was younger.... a floral, fitted mini dress and knee-high boots?! It's like I'm finally allowed to dress like Blossom (If you're old like me you will know exactly what I'm talking about!).

 It's obvious to me that the Ann Harvey designers want to make flattering clothes - this dress is a soft and slinky stretch fabric that had the potential to cling to every lump and bump on my body, but the dress is lined with a stretch fabric that skims all my lumps, so everything looks smooth and lovely!

 I'm wearing the size 22 and it's great, I really like the fit and it's very comfy.

 You just pull this dress over your head so it's so easy to wear - I felt very cute in this outfit......

 ..... and it rather suits a golden booth don't you think?!

 I wore this outfit out on a casual date in which we went to Wahaca and drank Bloody Maria's and hibiscus cordial with lime......

And ate lots of the most delicious grub (plantain tacos TO DIE FOR!)

Happy Parsnip! The dress stretched with me and was just as comfortable when I was full of Mexican food as it was when we left the house, so that's a BIG thumbs up from me!

I'm loving this cute dress (an so is my boyfriend because it is both tight and short - two of his favourite things when it comes to my clothing!) and joy of joy, it's currently on sale... down from £40 to £12! What a ridiculous bargain! Get it here, and come back tomorrow for Ann Harvey outfit number two!

Wardrobe weekly

Left it a bit late again, but here is what I've been wearing in the build-up to my Christmas holidays!

Monday

 Sparkle for December!

 I've had this dress for ages, I forgot how much I like it! These are new wide-fit boots from Primark btw.

Tuesday

 God I adore this dress! It's so comfy, and flattering, and Christmassy and lush.

 Sexy ruched wrap detail that hides a turkey filled bulging tummy rather well!

 I wore this on Christmas day last year and I still love it. I'm extremely tempted to get the blue version for new year.... because blue velvet!

 Red dress red lips.

 I went for dinner with my 'wife' which is why I dressed all pretty! I have to take sneaky pictures of her because she is very private and doesn't want to be all over the tinternet. I'm allowed to put her up in silhouette though!

 We went to Covent garden because look.... Christmas joy!

 We ate at Wahaca (oh my god the plantain tacos - oh my god. Also, If you like bloody Mary's, their bloody Maria is a MUST!) but checked out all the lovely lights first!

 Charming!

 Lovely!

Wednesday

 I adore this vintage dress. I got it last year on ebay and it's totally ace.

 It's stretch and super synthetic, so it's one to wear in the colder months.

 There are many things I love about this dress. For one thing it's some sort of odd party dress, but the high neck makes it a bit rock and roll!

 Also the v-shaped waist is awesome. Christmassy in shape!

The little squares are made from silver glitter!

 And last but not least it has a big old full skirt! I love this dress.

Thursday

 It was well cold on Thursday and I knew I needed to wrap up & wear wellies because me and the boyf were meeting friends at the Winter wonderland after work.

 I got this coat last year but it never got cold enough for me to actually wear it!

 I just cannot tell you how much I love it. It's so well structured, and comfy and warm.

 Oh and the rain just sits on top of the faux fur until you rub it off so I was dry as a bone underneath despite the inevitable downpour when we were in Hyde Park!

 Christmas joy!

 Singing along to some funky classics.

 Ummmm so many trees!

 Spinning round on a carousel whilst drinking... why?!

 Watching the mad people on the big drop ride thing. We drank too much. Mulled wine is dangerous!

Friday

 Please excuse the fact that I still had my t-shirt tucked in to my skirt (stops it riding up underneath my coat!) and how rough I am. So tired and slightly hungover. This was a very BLURGH day!

 I got Sam this Christmas pudding t-shirt and she looks freaking awesome in it!

 I went full-on fancy dress and decided to do a north pole outfit.

 I don't care if I looked insane (imagine this with the coat and hat from the day before!), it made me feel better about my banging head and nauseous stomach!).

Sunday

 The in-laws came to visit on Sunday, so I pulled out my new winter frock.

 This Queen of Holloway dress is so cute. This size 24 is actually quite tight on my bust so I think I'll let it out a bit with some fabric at the sides. It's great on my waist, but I always find high neck dresses like this to be super tight on the old boobies!

 I just couldn't resist this print, it's so cool!
