White Floral Skater Dress

I recently purchased a dress from the Jolie Moi range at Dorothy Perkins. I used to be a total dressaholic and would buy a new dress for every occasion but as I'm trying to save I have reined myself in a bit. A night out for my boyfriends birthday is a good excuse for a new frock though  :) This is the one I choose

This dress with the black and white flowers is perfect for the summer season and the black mesh details smartened it up.  I also love that it's quite 50s inspired. 

We have had beautiful sunshine in beautiful Pembrokeshire today I  so I got a chance to model it in the garden.

As the dress is monochrome I wanted to inject a bit of colour into the outfit so will be wearing my coral shoes from peacocks 

I really love this dress, the material doesn't feel cheap which I have found with other dresses of the same style.  I did have to team it with a plain black belt as due to the "outy" style of the skirt  it can make you look bigger than you are so the belt helps to cinche in the waist.

It is also a bit on the short side. I'm 5'2 and always have to get my dresses shorted but this was fine without any altering but not sure how it would be on a taller girl.

I can't wait to put this on again for Saturday night :) 

The dress retails at £29 a great price for a very pretty, good quality dress.

I purchased this with my own money and am not being sponsored for this post. 

Graze Breakfast Club Review

Good Evening, I write to you whilst enjoying a lovely bowl of porridge. I know it's traditionally a breakfast food but I'mnot much of a breakfast girl. 

As you will see from my previous post I am a big fan of the Graze snack box so when I got a email asking if I wanted to try their new breakfast boxes (for free no less) - that was a easy yes. It is a new breakfast range they have launched which consists of 8 different porridges.  The concept is the same as the graze snack boxes were you can rate the punnets "yes please" or "no thanks" 

Out of the 8 flavours I only rejected one which was fig and blueberry only because I dislike figs but I was so excited to see what would come in my box.

Tonight's porridge was Hazelnut and Flame Raisin. It was so easy to make, they recommend using a punnet and a half of milk which made the perfect consistency for me - when I've made porridge before I've been too lazy to measure and its been a bit hit and miss so the simplicity of this was great. 

Taste wise I did think it was a bit bland at first but that seemed to improve by the end. Hazelnut is one of my favourite flavours so I was a little bit disappointed that the taste was quite discreet but the flame raisins were amazing and I don't usually like raisins. Liking it so far Graze! I want to try the next one in the morning so I can test how well it keeps morning hunger at bay. 

So it is now the next day and I've decided to go mad and try the porridge in the morning. I've gone for blueberry and lingonberry today.

I was a bit disappointed in this one, as with yesterday's porridge it did have quite a bland taste at the start but it didn't seem to improve on this one. My next two punnets come with honey so I'm hoping for an improvement with those ones and then I will know to add honey to all for an improved taste. It did keep hunger at bay until lunchtime though :) 

It is a couple of days later and I've woken up early enough for breakfast for once and opted for the apple and cinnamon today

I did complain that the other porridges were a bit bland but this one came with honey and totally redeemed itself. The taste was great, loved the apple, cinnamon and honey taste explosion together. Without a doubt the best of the box so far and this would encourage me to get up early enough for  breakfast ;) 

It is a sad day today, the last of my porridges from my current graze breakfast box. The flavour today is blackcurrant and cranberry.

If you love berries you will love this porridge. Great strong taste and again with the added honey it was a win for me.

I'm impressed with the new range from graze, you may notice the portions look quite small but they are very filling. It's a good incentive for people like me that are poor at eating breakfast. I'm excited to see what graze will launch next :)
