Wednesday Wants

Today is internet day! At long last.  It felt like my arm had been cut off and I have really missed twitter and you guys.  Only got it for a few days though as on Saturday I am off on my holidays to Derbyshire and will be without internet for another week.  Woe is me!

I love the detailing on this New Look dress although I am not sure how it will work with either a bra or the sun.  Dodgy tan lines ahoy!  Would look fab with an actual tan though.

Dress: New Look 

How pretty is this Miss Selfridge dress?!  I love everything about it apart from the fact it would look rubbish with black tights.  Not ready to go bare legged just yet.  Again this dress would look amazing with a tan and would look just as good dressed up with heels as it would dressed down with flats.

Dress: Miss Selfridge

I've been going gaga over this fruity little number from my favourite brand Sugarhill Boutique.  Yet another dress that would look best with a healthy glow (where are you sunshine?!) Just looking at it makes me want to be sipping cocktails at sunset somewhere very exotic. Sigh.

Dress: Sugarhill Boutique

These wedges would work with any of the above which means I must get them as I am defo going to end up with at least one of these dresses, right?!

Excess Baggage

I'm off on holiday on Saturday and although I am not hoping on a plane I am travelling by car so will be packing hand luggage of my own.  I've always wondered what others pack in their hand luggage, some people seem to take as much stuff as I pack in my hold suitcase!  I like to travel lightly so I can wonder round the airport with ease looking at all the duty free waiting to be snapped up!

This handbag from Next is gorgeous - my only requirements for a flight bag is it must have an across the body strap and do up, I don't want my belongings rolling down the aisle!

Bag

I said I like to travel lightly!  I only pack the absolute essentials plus a bikini in case anything happens to my suitcase (thanks for that paranoia Kate!!) 

In my hand luggage you will find:
My kindle, holidays are all about reading for me
My passport and tickets
A cherry chapstick
My point and shoot camera
A bikini

I will also have what can usually be found in my bag, my purse/phone/minimal make up. 

What do you put in your hand luggage?  Any essentials you think I am missing and should consider?

Check Mate

I did mean to post this on Friday but have been too busy, time has been racing by. I've posted a few instagram snaps today if you fancy a nose, my username is amilliondresses. We have almost finished the house, just a couple of things left to build, chairs to paint and then the big internet install which I cannot wait for! I know I've been lucky having an iPad with a 3G card but it really is not the same, I find it really hard to type on this damn thing!!

 

Anyways onto this outfit. I picked up this Topshop dress in the sale. I had been keeping a beady eye on it waiting for it to hit the sales rack. It's a fab colour and I love the simple pattern. It's jersey so really easy to wear. I know I always wear this cardi, I can't help it - I love it so much! The only days I don't wear it are if I am wearing a jumper or if it's in the wash! I am looking longingly at my nails, haven't worn falsies in over a week :( So looking forward to getting them back on next week, feel a bit naked without them.

 

Dress: Topshop

Cardigan: H&M

Court Shoes: Clarks @ Spartoo Shoes*

 

Hope you're having a fab weekend whatever you're doing :)
