Chi Chi Florence Dress

I'm a girl that loves the colour pink. Pink lipstick, pink handbags - I even have a pink Macbook case. Part of me believes it was my childhood obsession with my pretty pink Barbie doll that sparked the passion for the colour and when I saw this dress from Chi Chi clothing I thought it looked like something a Barbie princess would wear and evoked memories of my favourite childhood dolls.

Pictured is the Chi Chi Florence dress with a lace bodice and mesh skirt. The skirt is fully lined and includes netting to add a vintage, swing dress vibe. The pastel pink is bang on trend and button up back adds pretty detailing and oozes femininity. Admittedly, I do find this dress a little bit too full on for the day time, but it makes a great cocktail or evening style outfit. The sizing on this particular Chi Chi dress comes up slightly small as I am usually a size 8 - 10 and the size 10 is a little bit tight. If you're self conscious about your dress size and don't want disappointment, I'd order a size or two bigger than you usually are and take note of the size guide. My motto is that I would rather be a size bigger and have the dress look fitted, than be a size smaller and look like I have squeezed into something. If an outfit fits right, it can often make you look smaller in the end anyway.

The dress is available from Chi Chi clothing* and retails at £49.99.

Vogue Fashion Night Out OOTN: Chi Chi Clothing

It has been three days since Vogue's Fashion Night Out, but I'm still talking about it like it was yesterday. I had so much fun and it was really the first time in quite awhile that I managed to network with some fellow bloggers. My dress seemed to catch quite a lot of attention on the night and the main question I was asked was:'Where did you get that dress?'

Firstly, I apologise for my 'selfie' photographs. My fiance is usually my photographer when it comes to outfit of the day, but we've been so busy with other work commitments that I had to do them myself.

Back to the dress, this wonderful ombre effect maxi is from the Chi Chi clothing range and it's called the 'Dionis'. I found the dress a delight to wear and not only is it beautiful, it's incredibly comfortable. Unfortunately when the dress arrived it was far too long on me, but it was quickly sorted by my mother and her sewing machine. If you're nearer five foot nothing, than six foot I'd definitely say be cautious when it comes to the length of this dress. There are many tailors around that would be happy to alter the dress for a small cost, but with this dress retailing at £40 it's an added cost to bear in mind. Nevertheless, I love this dress and now it's altered I can wear it effortlessly everyday if I desired.  The colouring is eye catching and you're bound to grab attention wearing it. The dress is bang on trend for autumn and I love how the orange reminds me of the autumn leaf colours.

Over all, I really think this is a fabulous quality dress. My first experience with Chi Chi clothing wasn't the best, but having had another opportunity to try them, they've definitely won back my appreciation for the brand.

Chi Chi Dress

Since I got back from Ibiza, I've been feeling pretty down. The sunshine isn't anything like being abroad over here and going away for a week or two always makes home seem rather bland. Luckily the sun has been shining and attempting to raise my spirits, giving me the chance to show off my new dress from Chi Chi clothing. I love the lace bodice and the cobalt blue skirt. It evokes a 1950s playful vibe and looks amazing whilst your sipping cocktails at all those garden parties.

If there has to be one criticism towards the dress, it's that the skirt feels too big to wear during the day. The skirt embodies a fully netted skirt that really flares out. For me personally, it felt a little bit too over the top for the average day to day skater dress, but I can see it looking amazing on a night out. 

One of my favourite aspects of the dress is the cute little bow finishing on the back. In this picture it's kinda go a little wonky, but nevertheless looks really pretty. The overall price for the dress is £49.99 and I think it's a great price for something that really is nice quality. Would I purchase again? Definitely.
