Blue Velvet.
DRESS – New Look
NECKLACE & CARDIGAN – Topshop
RING – h&m
BELT – Primark
LIPSTICK – Rimmel Shake Up Pink
I bought this dress last week, as you can tell I love anything velvet at the moment! This is one of those dresses that you either really love (which I do!) or really hate.
I’m planning on maybe sewing a lace collar on when I’m home in a couple of weeks, to make it look like the Topshop playsuit I want.
I started my blog a year ago this week, which is pretty exciting! I’m honestly so pleased with how far it’s come, so thank you to all my readers and followers – you are amazing! Hopefully this next year will bring even more exciting things. Happy birthday gh0stparties.com <3

I have this New Look dress in black and sewed white lace trim to the cuffs of the sleeves – was so easy to do, highly recommend you give yours a collar, will look great!
