Hello! I had a bit of a break over the Easter period from work and technology and I loved it! It's nice to get away from it all sometimes and I feel thorougly relaxed. I only work term time in the uni library so I will be working in the public libraries this week which I haven't done for ages. I can't wait to be surrounded by exciting books rather than text books.
I popped into Whitchurch today to do a little charity shopping and to meet the lovely ladies who run the Cancer Research Wales shop there. I'm going to be writing for their blog/website which is having a relaunch, it's all rather exciting. I will mention their fab shop and show you all my great charity shop finds in a later post.
This is what I wore for my afternoon out-
Dress: Peacocks by Design
Cardigan: Primark
Bag: Topshop
Shoes: River Island

I'm really happy with my Peacocks by Design dress, it feel much higher quality than Peacocks normal range, it fits nicely and it moves really well. It's a very 'swishy' dress, the fabric feels nice and heavy and all the rest of the new range were equally as nice too. It was £35 which I think is a great price because something in Topshop or Next would probably be about £50. The lovely Vicki at Magpie Girl styled one of the Peacocks dresses for the and she looks fab, I'm thinking of getting that dress for a wedding in the summer.
Have you got anything from the new Peacocks collection? Did you all have a nice Easter?

Love the dress especially the pretty peter collar. I adored the take ten dress too, trying to think of an occasion that I can buy it for haha! Not really got the money to be buying random things, if only I can justify it!

You're so cute Gem! Really like the colour of your bag with your cardigan. I've never shopped in Peacocks but after hearing so many good things about it recently I think I will venture in soon xx
ReplyDeletehey my dear!! love this dress on you and thanks so much for mentioning me and linking me! so very sweet of you. :) xo
ReplyDeletei never go to peacocks cause i never liked the quality, but that dress is so pretty might have to take a look xoxox
ReplyDeleteThat's really nice! Definitely looks as though it's from somewhere a bit more 'upmarket' than Peacocks, and it's light and summery without being too bright. :)
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty, and I love the colour of your nails. I've got a similar mint green colour too, it's perfect for the Springtime. Gorgeous photos. xxx
