These are a few of my favourite things....






    ASOS's new collection is the jam, right?
    So many lovely pieces for spring.
    The only thing about ASOS is sometimes its a bit of an effort sitting trawling through like 20 odd pages of clothes, i mean, its great there is so much choice but i always think you have really got to be in the mood its like epic online shopping
    So i thought i would eliminate that process for you and pick some of my Must-Haves from the new drop.
    Let me know what your favourite is
    and if you will be buying any of the goodies!

    1. Dress- £36.00
    2.  Jumpsuit- £32.00
    3.  Anchor ring- £6.00
    4.  Pink ring- £4.50 (This really reminds me of the YSL Arty ring for some reason?)
    5.  Peter Pan top
    6.  Leopard print cape-  £20.00Source URL: http://dressfashiongirls.blogspot.com/2011/01/

Lazy Sunday

    I've been a bad bad blogger (hearing Beyonce saying into my head: you've been a bad bad girl Gaga ;)) The exams were killing me, I don't think I've ever been studying so hard in my entire life. But now I'm back and I just realised how much I've missed blogging. These are the pictures of what I wore today, it was a casual lays Sunday spent hanging out with my friends. 


    Boots: Ugg, Jeans: Bershka, Bag: LV Speedy, Shirt: H&M, Cardigan: Dorothy Perkins, Jewelry: Topshop


    P.S.: Loving the clean lines at Céline spring 2011, Phoebe Philo really knows how to make simple chic!

    Love, Ana

Sunday Show and Tell...




    Like most of the country I bought Adele’s new album this week. I love it; her voice is just so stunning, right? She really does remind me of like an old soul legend, so many beautiful lyrics and songs on her new record.





    I heard this on Radio One’s live Lounge during the week and thought it was amazing. I am not a Cheryl Cole fan so it didn’t take a lot for me to think this was a much better version than her original.


    It actually sounds like a completely different song I think. I can’t stop listening to it!


    Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!




    Remember and send me your suggestions for next weeks Sunday Show and Tell post, it can be anything that you love and want to share, a video, a song, a blog or even just a really nice story of something lovely that happened to you during the week, anything....I want to hear, email me or leave a comment below and I will link to you if I use your suggestion!

review - Blotting Papers

    Olá gals!

    Vamos a mais uma review rápida e comparativa, hoje eu vou comarar duas marcas de lenços absorventes de oleosidade (ou blotting papers).



    A comparação vai ser entre o Fine Day da marca Kosé (que eu ganhei da Luciana *fofa*, por isso não sei o preço nem onde comprar) e o Facial Absorbent Paper da marca My Beauty Diary (comprei AQUI por 5 reais e frete grátis!).

    Os dois são fofos né? *-*


    Bom, o Facial Absorbent Paper vem nesse saquinho bonitinho e caixinha rosa, que eu não consigo abrir sem rasgar...rasguei 2 dessas na hora de abrir pela primeira vez, é complicado.
    O Fine day também tem uma embalagem super fofa, mas eu joguei o saquinho fora :~


    Aqui os dois por dentro...eu gosto mais da "cava" do Fine day pq não amassa a folhinha, embora não seja motivo pra não gostar do outro tipo de caixinha né...esse adesivinho oval do Facial Absorbent Paper é interessante pra folha não entrar em contato com a caixa...mas não é essencial, sabe.
    O Fine day tem 70 folhas e o Facial Absorbent Paper tem 65...diferença pequena :)


    Agora comprando as folhinhas...as duas são idênticas em cor, expessura e poder de absorção..a diferença fica por conta do tamanho mesmo, que, diga-se de passagem, nem é tão relevante.
    Os dois modelos cumprem super bem a função e absorvem bem a oleosidade da pele sem tirar a maquiagem.
    É um ótimo produto pra levar na bolsa, prático e eficiente...uma única folha já resolve o problema rapidinho, em qualquer lugar...depois que comecei a usar não vivo sem!

    Claro que você não precisa procurar várias marcas nem pagar absurdos para tem um bom blotting, muitas marcas daqui oferecem esse tipo de produto como a Natura na linha faces, a contém 1g e a Clean & Clear, que é queridinha nacional.

    E vocês, gals...usam lencinhos anti-brilho, blotting papers ou removedores de oleosidade? (isso tem tantos nomes, haha xD) ...Gostam do efeito e da praticidade do produto? Ou nunca usaram? Contem tudo pra gente nos comentários ;D

    XoXo

Cheers To The Freakin' Weekend...








    Wearing-Tee-Gap, Dress-A/Wear, Earrings- Topshop, Ring-Rock 'n' Rose

    The whole Black Swan (not that I've seen it, i think it looks quite terrifying!) ballerina craze has obviously affected me without my realising and influenced this outfit a little.
    I used to do ballet classes for a bit when i was really young and the thing i loved most about it were the clothes, the pink leotard with the satin ballet slippers and i used to have these cute little sweaters that i used to throw on after class had finished, which i was inspired by to put this loose stripy tee over my dress. 

    This is a sort of slouchy laid back version of that ballet look.
    I wanted to have really strong make-up to contrast the soft skirt and tee.
    So i used a really dark kinda purple lipstick, and made my brows really dark and strong looking.
    It's weird as I'm so not used to seeing myself with stronger lips/brows as i like to always keep my make-up soft and pastel coloured but its nice sometimes to change it up!

    I put my hair in a super high ponytail and added the 'right side of trashy' gold hoops to put my own little twist on the usual ballet look!

    Oh and excuse the pictures of me laughing (and i am not punching myself in the second last one even though that's what it looks like,Ha) I just got the giggles a little whilst getting these pictures taken and i just couldn't stop laughing!

    Hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday

Do You Sew? If Not, This Is For You!


    Lately I have been getting requests for some of my patterns to be altered so a non-seamstress can make clothes.

    If you DON'T sew, have you wondered why there aren't any (or many) patterns or instructions on how to make clothes without sewing? I mean, no sewing at all? It's definitely not very common but yet doable to make specific garments without sewing a stitch.

    I need your input on if you would like to know how to make clothes without sewing!

    I added a poll to cast your vote, it's right underneath my pink grab button on the right side.

    ALSO, please let's discuss this and leave a comment underneath this post about what your thoughts are and if you don't know how to sew!Source URL: http://dressfashiongirls.blogspot.com/2011/01/

    This is the new Spring 2011 Lookbook from the label
    Otis & Maclain
    I have posted about this label many times on my blog
    And i fall a little bit more in love with every new collection they release

    They just make the most perfect summer clothes. Seriously!
    The new collection is full of loose swing tops, chic shorts and flattering jumpsuits
    Not to mention the beautiful dresses...ah!

    For me when i look at these pieces i just see Ivy from 90210 (Gillian Zinser)and Zoe Kravitz
    I think they would look stunning in these clothes
    They are so perfect for their style!

    I just love the whole vibe of the collection especially that last Tee i would so wear that with everything coming into summer, It's so classic the shape of it, it looks like it would really flatter every body type.

    I really will have to get saving to get a my very own little piece of Otis & Maclain I really do think my wardrobe is crying out for some
    I hope they start to stock in the UK soon

    What do you guys think are you a fan of this label?
    Let me know your favourite pieces!
    Check out the site here, to order yourself some goodies!
