SUGARED ALMOND ADDITION
You know what I love? Sugared almonds! That thick sugar shell and soft, sweet nut within - eat ten of them and your halfway to diabetes town, but I challenge you to just eat one. Not only are they delicious, but the look bloody lovely too - I would love a mini prom dress made out of sugared almonds, might be some bare flesh by the end of the day, having a little snack when I'm hungry.
All those lovely candy shells in pastel shades are so hot right now - you can't move through the highstreet without feeling the sugary vibes from all the sweet shades. Usually I am a fan of greys or bold and bright, but I think pastel shades have won me over, I have already bought a pair of mint jeans and once I have more than lint in my pockets I plan to buy more....most likely on the realistic side of things.

I love mint green at the moment. I'm wearing my mint green jeans to death.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the ultimate jacket but the rest is realistic. You can do my shopping.
I don't think I'd go for the ultimate, ever. The copies these days are so good, aren't they?. x
ReplyDeleteHaha, I would love to have a dress made out of potato chips, wouldn't last a day though :D
ReplyDeleteI look like a corpse with pastels, but I do like them on other people :D
I would never go for the ultimate even f I was rich as I don't think I could justify spending that much money on a single dress. That Ultimate dress does look gorgeous though x
ReplyDeleteThey're not THAT much different, but they are very much different in price! £3000 is just ridiculous, oh we can only dream cant we?! xx

I'm also not a fan of candy colours, but yes this year the aqua, turquoise and mint greens really convinced me! I've been watching a similar dress like the one on the left above on Ebay for quite some time now and it will be mine if I can win an auction or find it as "buy it now" :)
ReplyDeleteI love that J Brand jacket, I really want a pastel leather! The Warehouse dress is so pretty too x
