The Portia Dress by Chi Chi Clothing

This year I was asked to be a bridesmaid by a very special couple...a very special woman who I met five years ago when our paths crossed in unfortunate circumstances (unfortunate at the time) which turned out to be a fortunate circumstance as I made a friend, a best friend for life. Not only was I completely honoured to be asked I was also sooo excited to know what dress would be chosen for the bridesmaids... I LOVE occasions and dressing up so you can imagine I was in my element. Luckily for me the dress chosen was the Portia dress by Chi Chi (Chichiclothing.com). The wedding took place in Santorini... Yes the most beautiful Greek island where everything was white and Blue.. The dress couldn't be anymore apt for the occasion. I usually take a UK size 8/ 10  and in this style the 8 fitted perfectly. I absolutely loved the Bardot style as I find it very complementary for my figure, with the colour being bold it adds elegance and a girly touch to the look. There is a zip...

Saturday night and I had a birthday to attend And i couldn't wait...I do love an occasion. I love when groups of friends or family are brought together to celebrate. This time I had pre planned and I knew exactly what I wanted to wear. This particular birthday celebration was being held in a pub close to where I live and it's a smart / casual pub. When I think of smart/ casual, I always think of a pair of jeans with a dressy top and understated shoes/ boots. I recently won a competition with Next where I could choose a few free items of clothing and one of the pieces I chose was this top. I literally couldn't wait to wear it once it arrived and my friends birthday was a great excuse. This style is currently on trend and you will see a lot of different types of this style sweeping the high street and taking over many of our wardrobes. The style being quite boho will be great for summer evening, trips to the city and can even be rocked at festivals. It's so versa...
