A present...for me...how nice!

This weekend I, though I would get ahead of the game and set out to do some early Christmas shopping, it was not a success. I got totally distracted when I spotted this dress and scooped it up as a Christmas present for myself instead! I will wrap it and put it under our Christmas tree, the note on the present will read:

"Dear Chantel,
You are have such great taste, Merry Christmas
From Chantel!"

Hah!

I was so excited with my purchase and immediately hauled it out of its bag to showed my mom, the minute I arrived home...she laughed! Yes. She laughed. Apparently to her eye, my purchase resembles a nightie more than it does the ubber stylish dress that my eye sees! The nerve! Lucky for me, people’s opinions never really deter me from what I like. And I really like this one. She soon changed her tune when she saw these pics. She now approves.

I need me a Price & Kensington...or 5

Don't these just make you want to have a girly tea party and feed you face some cake? They do. Don't they? Especially the part about feeding your face some cake, the face can never get enough cake. Hee. These cutie pies are the creation of  UK based Price & Kensington, and this company has been making them since 1896. How rad is that?! Seriously, I want one in every single colour! 

I'm inspired to have a colourful tea party, where i would serve this...

oooh and these...

Blissful Bathers

I am a huge fan of summer and all the things that come with it, like eating ice cream, wearing fun little sundresses...and of course, trips to the beach. As much as I adore the beach, I must be honest and admit that the thought of sqeeshing my wobbly bits into a teeny weeny bikini does make me want to run back to winter and hide myself under an oversized coat. That was until I discovered the cute little bikini's that are on offer this season. Armed with these babies, no one will even notice the jingly jangly bits, they will be way too distracted by the awesomeness that the bits are covered in. These are my fave pics from the interweb. What will you guys be wearing to the beach this summer?

 I'm also in luurve with  vintage inspired swimwear, and this high waisted bikini from swimweargalore is  just the epitome of perfection...and the fact that it is perfect for hiding a post christmas paunch, has nothing to do with...well maybe just a little!

 

Love, me
