Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow?

Dress: bonprix

Boots: bonprix

Lipstick: No7 Stay Perfect Coral Rose

This bonprix dress is one of those guaranteed crowd pleasers that needs to be a wardrobe addition for everyone reading. Wearing it today it felt like summer was finally here, there's nothing like a white dress in the sun to make you feel great. I can see this being my go-to dress for the rest of the summer as it's the perfect length and is just so versatile.

On the list of things I thank God for, cowboy boots with bare legs is up quite high. They look fantastic but are also really practical; you can throw some serious mileage in to them and they stay in good condition and don't hurt your feet. I sound like such an old woman going on about comfy shoes but I've reached an age where I simply can't be arsed with limping about in heels just to try look sexy. If a man can't take me in cowboy boots then he's going to have a bad time as I seem to live in them and converse at the moment. I actually wept a small tear when these generously arrived from bonprix today, as my favourite (and very similar pair) had finally given up life a month or so back.

I had a great few hours taking these photos and wandering about the countryside. I took some comically awful photos, do you know how hard it is balancing a camera on a tree? As I was saying on twitter have you ever thought "this is exactly the sort of place I would find a dead body", well that's where I was. I couldn't check the photos because I had it in my head that I would see someone else in the background of the photo and when I looked up from the camera screen they would be right in front of me. I thought about running back to civilisation in utter paranoid terror but instead sat down and ate a picnic. Had a mouthful of BLT when I realised I was sat staring straight in to the sun and was now blinded, had thoughts about moving so I could see a possible killer approaching but I figured I could do with topping up my tan. Priorities. In fairness the sandwich was so delicious I could probably have traded it for my life.

P.S my eyebrows... I lost my wax strips (I can only imagine my housemate stole them to try be more metrosexual), so I bought a new pack. Then when I got home they were empty! Some twat had stolen the contents of the packet and put it back on the shelf. Who does that?! Pfft.

Meet my kitten:

For the past few years I've put off getting a kitten. Long story short, I'm in a great place so I felt now is finally the right time to get on with my adult life.

Meet Arya, my eight week old kitty friend.

I had no idea she would be this beautiful as the litter came with no pictures and a simple brief description. When the guy pulled her out the cat carrier I was completely blown away, she has bright striking green-blue eyes the colour of the North Sea.

She is honestly perfect, really friendly and confident and her markings are lovely. Even my housemate who hates cats is impressed by how sweet she is, he keeps trying to act cool but I caught them napping together today. And he couldn't help but smile when she climbed on him, even when her little claws accidentally dug in a little.

I've named her Arya after the Game of Thrones character.

She's settled in really well, I wasn't sure how she would sleep last night but she didn't cry once. She simply hopped up on my bed and went to sleep next to me, she woke up for food when I did at 6 this morning. When I stirred she licked my face, which was a big change from one of my parent's cats who savages your face if you disturb her sleep. But to be honest that cat is absolutely mental and not a fair example of felines.

She's currently sleeping alongside my leg and purring. :) yay for a nice life with Arya.
From now on my dating pool doesn't include men who don't like cats.

Model's Own Giveaway.

I was sent some Model's Own products from Littlewoods online to give away to you lovely people.

They are all really summery shades so I hope you like them. It took a lot of will power not to keep the Orange Sorbet for myself.

It is just a little giveaway to say thank you for being a reader of my blog so 5 people can win a polish each.

Shades with swatch links:

Peach Sherbet
Bubblegum
Orange Sorbet
Lilac Dream
Indian Ocean

If you fancy you can comment which polish you would most like and I can attempt to send you that one if you win. This has a very slim chance of all five people saying a different colour but whatever.

Let's drink Champagne and dance on the table:

Oh my, this was impossible to photograph accurately. My photos suggest a solid gold shade but in real life it's a really stunning colour that completely fits its name of Champagne. A silver/gold combination that looks really clean and classy. Here's a way more accurate photo.

It's absolutely gorgeous when the sun hits it. I wore as an accent nail with French polish for a few days and I couldn't stop staring. I was secretly hoping the eye catching ring finger would subconsciously convince men that I'm marriage material. So far no proposals have went down. I did get a good few compliments at work from women though.

The formula and coverage of Champagne is of the same quality you can expect from Models Own. It only needed one coat and dried quickly and streak free. I used two coats in the end as I had to cover French polish acrylics, really one would have done but I wanted to make sure none of the white tips could be seen. It's not normally a polish I would think of wearing in Spring or Summer but it comes to life in sunlight and is going to look really cute as a pedi with sandals.

Littlewoods online sent me a few Model's Own polishes to review and give away so look out for the giveaway going live some time today.

My favourite party dress is virtually the same colour as Champagne, I saw the polish and had to keep. I know matching nails to dress is properly old school trashy but I'm totally going to channel Ceeci from The Help next time I have the occasion.
