strawberry lace

Dress – New Look
Jacket – Primark (years ago!)
Glasses – Ray Ban Wayfarers in Dark Havana
I wore this dress to Matt’s Band’s Christmas gig last Saturday, it was a spur of the moment purchase and was hanging in New Look all alone, so I’m not entirely sure if it was old stock or something that was returned as it isn’t on the website anymore. Regardless, I love it. Its sleeveless, which will come in handy on my holidays, but I’m not one for parading my arms around (I lack Jennifer Aniston’s tone) so I threw on a jacket, (my trusty almost five year old Primark one that is in dire need of being replaced) and some Primark super cosy tights because apparently I am incapable of not wearing those at the moment.
I love how cherry red the dress is, it was really difficult to photograph the lace properly but its lovely, and the elasticated waist makes it super comfy but fun to wear, very festive at this time of year with tights but the nice bright red will make this lovely in Summer too. Perfect. I also realised I never wear my glasses in blog posts or videos really. I’ve got a killer headache today – I should wear them more than I do so being a good girl today!
If you feel so inclined, I’d love it if you could vote for Gemsmaquillage in the Marie Claire Blog and Twitter awards here in either the Fashion or Beauty categories.

    Love it! The lace is not quite lace either which makes it a bit different. Oh my god that jacket – why is it old? That means I can't buy it :(

    I wanted to leave this comment on your youtube Primark haul video but I don't have an account so I thought I'd tell you here. When nail polishes get gloopy you can revive them by adding thinner (it replaces the chemicals which have evaporated) the best I have found is called Seche Restore and is pretty easy to get from eBay. Scrangie has an amazing blogpost about thinning old nail polishes here: http://www.scrangie.com/2008/12/restoring-polish-quite-possibly-most.html, and with thinner you'll never need to throw another one away again because it's 'old'!

    HTH,
