I bought this dress off eBay a while ago, and cant for the life of me find the seller. I was probably searching for "lace black dress" or "long sleeve black dress" and seeing what popped up. I know it was from one of those Korean/China wholesale re-sellers so it was around £6 including shipping. Which is a absolute bargain in my opinion. The dress is black, despite it casting a little blue in some of the photos, I love the front lace panel and the sheer sleeves! Its not the best quality of clothing I own but its definitely wearable. Always a risk ordering from the sort of wholesale sellers on eBay, especially sizing wise but Im quite pleased with it! I'm a 10 and it fits me quite snug over my boobs, which are courtesy of Wonderbra Full Effect! Probably if I wasnt wearing my massive faux boob bra it would be a little less tight!
I really dont like Jeffrey Campbell Litas but Victoria linked me to this pair earlier and I actually really like them. I think I just like the contrast on the wooden heel with black, Im umming and aahing over buying a pair of these boots from eBay after my friend bought them the other dayy, I also have my eye on these boots from Sarenza for a while, which I think are gorgeous but a bit expensive for me! So tempted to splash out. I must fight the temptation to buy winter footwear before winter has even begun. I've been living in my Allegera's recently though, starting to look a bit battered unfortunatly!
I also posted on etcllymlrs about my day yesterday and a few pointers on the Look blogging competition.

I really love your nails !!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat ebay dress is a true beauty, and totally a steal of a deal!

ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of those Lita shoes either, I think they look a bit mmm... drag-queeny? (sorry sorry sorry to all that love them) lol.

does maybe someone else knows the name of the font? :D
ReplyDeleteI love that necklace Lily :) Great outfit x
ReplyDeleteI really like those clogs and I'm in the same situation with the boots. I bought some in Feb or March this year and they've already got holes in the bottom so when it rains I get wet feet! I really need to get some more, I'm thinking of getting some from office... i remember you posted some a while ago and I loved them!
ReplyDeletethe dress is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteyou look so cute in that dress and your nails my goodness I die! they are so so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteas for Jeffery Campbell shoes I don't love all of them there are only certain ones that I like and would wear.
:) xx
Love Allegras and Litas! Both amazing shoes. Gorgeous dress :)

This dress is lovely! :) I came across this blog because of someone on a forum suggesting it as a good place to go for style ideas. I much prefer blogs like this, rather than the ones that are just like a mood board for 'inspiration'. Well done on your Look interview too! :)
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Philley x
Love your dress and your nails! :)
ReplyDeletethis dress is so cute and a nice ebay steal. First time visiting your blog and just spent last 15 mins browsing!

You can get the Lita-alikes from wholesale-dress.net too;
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wholesale-dress.net/new-arrival-bandage-embellish-high-heeled-shoes-black-g1354074.html
I think they work out cheaper, even with faster shipping. Mind you, I'm still waiting on my orders from there so I can't comment on the quality or customer service.
The dress is gorgeous and I love your nails! X
ReplyDeleteAmaaaaziiiing! Pure perfectness, your dress and top are gorgeous!

£6? That really is a bargin! Your nails look great too. And thanks for the link to those Lita's! I've wanted a pair for ages about £150 is a bit too much for me, however £30 odd certainly isn't as bad and those ones looks pretty good!

This dress is actually kind of nice considering its from one of those ebay sellers. I've kept my eye on those before but have never actually bought one. I'm always nervous about the sizing, but I'm the same size as you, so perhaps I'll give it a go next time.
ReplyDeletei've already started shopping for winter clothes too, i can't resist!
ReplyDeletelove the bracelet and your nails
Your nails are amazing *-*
ReplyDeleteCute little bracelet!
ReplyDeleteGreat nails too.. I'm yet to try out leopard print :)
