A quick photo blog today, showcasing my latest Boohoo dress obsession.
It's this lovely Charlotte Smudge Print shirt dress, perfect for this wintery mood that we're in. It's only £15, such a bargain. It feels silky and super luxe, definitely more than the £15 price tag!

What I Wore: Boohoo Dress & Bunny Trainers
Aren't holidays the best?!?! Great weather, great company and a great chance to debut your summer wardrobe. Finally, the chance to wear ALLL those items which wouldn't last in English weather and ALLLL the makeup which only looks good with a tan.
Saying that, having just come back from a short Spanish break, I've realised that there are so many things which we're "supposed" to do on holiday which, IN REAL LIFE we don't end up doing because - let's face it - it's too hot or we can't be bothered.
Know what I mean? Read on.

Let's start with the hair.
The magazines constantly show beautiful long-haired models with impeccable beachy waves and soft golden highlights. Summer perfection right? Wrong.
REAL LIFE BEAUTY VERSION?

Replacing Holiday Rules With Real-Life Beauty Tips
A dark mood is upon me. Partly due to the come-down from the bank holiday weekend but mostly down to the fact that the rain has returned. Oh yeah, and Film4 has been showing Twilight films all weekend. That too.
I always find myself choosing clothes in line with my mood and today I've gone for some sort of "minimalist gothic grumpus". Yes, today HAS been a grumpy day - I've been walking to the tube every day this week in that type of rain which isn't enough to justify an umbrella but is enough to seriously get on my grill - weak rain is the despair of all glasses wearing girls out there!
I'm mourning the lack of summer sun but all over black can be quite severe. Today's dress has a flash of burgundy to help to break up the black and add a bit of shape to what is, essentially, a large sack. (albeit a very comfortable one)
Dress by New Look
Necklace: Primark
This long sleeved dress is a great choice for work because it covers up enough skin whilst still looking stylish. The shape is perfect for swishing around the office and still looks very smart with tights or bare legged.
The loose shape means that it's INCREDIBLY comfortable, but it still retains an expensive, modern edge because of the block colour and the crepe material. It's not normally something I'd go for but.... the price! THE PRICE!
How much was the dress?

What I Wore To Work: Block Colour Black & Burgundy
Hiya Face Value Friends! Today's What I Wore To Work Wednesday features two beautiful blue pieces from my favourite budget fashion brands - Forever 21 and Primark!
So, confession time, I went to Primark TWICE in 2 days. I think I may have a problem. Though, the first visit was a planned trip and the second was because my cousin was visiting from Australia and it would have been rude NOT to take her - Primark is basically a tourist attraction...right?
Blouse: Primark £8
Skirt: Forever 21 £7.99
Rings: New Look £6

What I Wore To Work: Beautiful Blues with Primark & Forever 21
So I'm a huge fan of Primark (who isn't?!) and I have found some absolute GEMS in there previously. You know - the kind of gems where everyone says "omgg where did you get that? Topshop? Urban Outfitters?" and you smugly reply "Primark actually!" I love it when that happens, don't you?
Anyway, one day I was dragging my overflowing basket round the beauty bit and I saw this little wonder. Primark perfume? I was dead certain it was either going to smell sickly sweet or ,a la Mean Girls, "like a baby prostitute".
But hey, I was in the market for a fragrance so I gave it a chance. One quick spray with the tester on my wrist and BOOOOOOM!
Just when I thought Primark couldn't surprise me anymore.....
This Primark Polka perfume is genuinely, really lovely. As soon as I smelt it, I was so surprised I even said "wow, that's ACTUALLY really nice!!
(Unfortunately a shop assistant heard me which was friggin mortifying, but she said that she'd heard that loadsa times before and people are constantly surprised once they try it. Phew, Zoe Dubs out of trouble!!)
But does it smell like a baby prostitute?

Amazing Primark Find: Primark Polka Perfume
2013 was definitely the year of the decorated nail. The basic shatter coat has evolved over the last few years, we've had the foil coat, the matte finish, 3D glitter and this year - the feather manicure, the leather-look polish, concrete effect, furry velvet, chalkboard nails and oh yeah- the caviar nail.
Now, the kit that normally comes to mind is the Ciate Caviar Manicure kit which has a base colour and a bottle of coloured pearls - a bit like the ones you use to decorate cupcakes except, well.. totally unedible.
Not having tried the caviar manicure before, I didn't want to splash £18 on the Ciate Caviar kit. But when I was in Primark the other day, I came across a replica kit for £2.50.
Obviously I snapped it up there and then (along with 20 million other things in Primark!)

How do I handle these balls?! Alright. I promise to restrain myself from all available puns going forward - do, carry on reading. I shall remain tasteful.

There's A Party On My Nails! Primark Caviar Manicure Kit
Yah, so I'm bringing some elegance to the office today. Today's little number is what I like to call my "Kate Middleton, Princess In The Office" look.
Knee-length demure blue dress meets leg lengthening nude heels. A ladylike formula that can't go wrong. If its good enough for the Duchess, it's good enough for me!
