Danielle Vanier: Floral

White Blooms

Hello, my name is Danielle and I am one of the worlds messiest eaters. Everything I eat, no matter what it is ends up on my *ahem* shelf. This makes wearing white clothes a little tricky for me as I end up covered in stains. You would think that after 29 years on this planet, I would have mastered the art of eating like an adult; but I just can't do it. This is a shame as I love white clothes and white accessories...I'm not sure if I've mentioned my white shoe addiction before?

If you are like me and everything ends up down your front, may I recommend a white dress, covered in brightly coloured florals? If you spill stuff, no one will notice...it's a genius manoeuvre. Thank me later.

I picked this dress up in the ASOS sale, I sized up due to the fact it is a fitted style, with no stretch and as I mentioned in my previous post; I had to have it as it's made out of cotton so I knew it would keep me cool when I went out to party whilst on holiday.

A note about 'Chub Rub' - lots of people ask me about how I cope with the dreaded chub rub. It's a horrid thing that affects many of us ladies (big and small) and my all time fave method to stop any rubbing is to wear shorts. My fave shorts are from M&S and they are Light Control Invisible Shaping Thigh Slimmer's. They only go up to a UK 22 sadly but they are my favourites, I wear them all year round and they are so smooth you never see them underneath even the tightest outfits.

That Day | Longline Rose Print Shirt

I recently featured a mustard dress from That Day and it went down a storm with everyone I showed or wore it in front of. That Day is the latest edition to The Brand Edit at Evans and all three of the dress they sent are really very nice.

I have come down to Devon to have a bit of family time and I packed this longline shirt dress as I knew it wouldn't get all creased in my weekend bag and I was right. No matter how scrunched up it gets, it doesn't crease....this is a definite plus if you're like me and detest ironing! I sized up in this style as I normally struggle with shapes like this that have no stretch. I normally wear a 20 but went up to a 24 and this means that the dress doesn't gape open at the buttons and it doesn't cling on my belly - perfect!
I love the design details that make this longline shirt a little different from others. The panel at the back, round neckline and splits at the side make it feel like an expensive garment. I've rolled up the sleeves (like I do with most long sleeve items) but the sleeves are long and you can button them up.

I feel like being in the countryside this week has really inspired my look today! I wore my old tan brogues from Clarks, my mums clutch bag and an old zara necklace which I might just have to nab...do you think she'll notice if it goes missing?!

Lastly, I thought I'd tell you about my new lippy which in no. 512 and from Kiko. I recently popped into one of their stores and they were having a sale so I picked up a few new shades. I've wanted a rich, plummy red for a while and this one is perfect.
