Happy Birthday BLAB & Giveaway

Exactly one year ago today I gathered my favourite spring make up products, took a tonne of photos and then sat down to write the very first post on this blog. That’s right, BLAB is one year old today and I cannot believe how quickly the time as gone. I also can’t believe how many lovely people I’ve met a long the way and how many amazing blogs I’ve been introduced to because of it.

Writing a blog as a hobby is so much fun, I would recommend it to anyone and I’m sure you guys would say the same. I know that this blog has a small following but every follower and reader means so much to me. To know that you guys are interested in what I have to say and are willing to take the time to read posts and give feedback makes me so happy. So this post is to say THANK YOU to all of you.

To do this I am holding a giveaway where you could to win a bareMinerals Purifying Facial Cleanser and a nailsinc Feather Effect Nail Polish- quite spring appropriate I thought. This giveaway is open to UK residents only and you can enter by using the Rafflecopter widget below. The giveway will be open until Monday 28^th April so get entering while you can!

Feeling Dotty

I guess this is my first proper outfit post! Like i've said before, I am definitely no fashion expert and usually just wear what I think looks good. But I do enjoy clothes....a lot. I got this dress for my birthday last week from my mum. It's from ASOS and I believe it was then in the sale after she got it but I can't actually find it on the website anymore. They have so many similar styles and prints though so it's definitely worth taking a look. I did find this one that isn't in the sale but isn't expensive either. 

Skater style dresses are brilliant because if you are feeling a bit lazy you can just throw one on and you're pretty much good to go. I didn't even really bother with jewellery when I wore this because I thought the bold print said enough by itself. I don't know if you can see in the photo but I am wearing a gold above knuckle ring on my right hand, a bright red essie polish on my nails and Primark leopard print shoes to add a tiny bit of detail and colour.

I am so pleased with this dress! Sometimes ASOS own clothes can be a bit hit and miss and I really wasn't expecting the quality of this dress to be very good. But they surprised me and the material is actually really nice and feels like it will last.
