For the first time in forever.

EMBELLISHED DRESS C/O ASOS | HEELS C/O MARKS AND SPENCER | EARRINGS C/O NEW LOOK

Last week I was selected for my second Access All ASOS campaign thus far, and had the very welcome opportunity to pick out an ASOS prom dress. I remember I spent a great deal of last summer lusting over a selection of dreamy, embellished numbers from ASOS, and judging by this dress it looks like this year is going to be no different! I just adore this piece - the sheer sleeves, the floaty fabric, the incredible embellishment... It almost reminds me of constellations in the night sky! Unfortunately I don't have any events lined up that I can wear this to thus far, but if anything does creep up over the next couple of months then this number will be first candidate.

The heels are from Marks and Spencer's SS14 collection, and you'll be seeing a lot more of them very soon. I've also got a few more stunning pieces from good old M&S, but you'll have to wait to see those! Admittedly it's not a shop I'd usually look to for new season goodies, however I can't deny that they have some wonderful items popping up, and I can't wait to share my choices!

Pink sequins and rose gold.

TOP AND SKIRT C/O LASHES OF LONDON | EARRINGS AND BRACELET C/O LOLA AND GRACE

CAT BAG FROM H&M | EMBELLISHED BLOCK HEELSS FROM ASOS

Welcoming March with a little bit of glitz! It's no secret that I love my glitter, sequins and metallics, but making a really shiny outfit work outside of party season can be tricky. Have I pulled this one off? I'll let you be the judge! When I first saw this pink sequin set on Lashes of London's Facebook page, I fell in love. The silhouette scared me slightly -anything body hugging does- but for the sake of so much shiny pink prettiness, I decided to risk it and give it a try. I know I'm by no means large, but I always worry that I'm a bit too squishy to pull off anything figure flaunting. There's a little more midriff on display than I'd usually like, but I think that's down to me being a fairly tall lady more than anything else! Aside from that, I love how true to size Lashes' clothes are. There aren't many companies I'd feel comfortable ordering something so form fitting from, however everything I've ever ordered from them has been the perfect size, so I trusted them completely. Sometimes they're a little short on us taller ladies, but in this case the 3/4 sleeves and modest pencil skirt balance things out.

I kept my accessories simple; some velvet mid heels from ASOS with an embellished heel, my H&M cat bag, and some delicate rose gold jewellery Lola and Grace popped over as a Valentines gift - the cuties! A splash of red lipstick and I was good to go. Next time I'm off on a night out or invited to a party, I know what I'll be wearing! Even if I do look a little like a human glitter ball...

Tomorrow my amazing husband Grant is running the Bath Half Marathon, and he's raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. He's been preparing for quite some time now, and I'm honestly so proud of him. It's a great cause, so if you have a few pounds spare any donations would be truly appreciated. I'll keep you all updated with his progress and fundraising on Twitter!
