HAUL | Frame your eyess



Dolce & Gabbana glasses


First of all, Happy easter! If you celebrate it, what are your plans for it? Going to have an Easter breakfast, brunch, dinner or all three? For me, it's just going to church and eat a lot of Indonesian sweets.

For those who see me walking down the street without glasses, most probably think why is she ignoring me, is she blind? The answer is yes.. I haven't treated my eyes properly, especially if you imagine me reading on my bed with almost no lights on and being on the computer almost 24/7 for school as for fun. So yeah, I do wear glasses, but only when I'm watching a movie, reading a book or am behind a computer, at least I try to.. (yes I'm wearing one right now). 


Anyway, these are my new glasses! I love the cat-eye shape to it, it almost makes me look like a librarian or a secretary but that's what makes it awesome. The glasses weren't cheap though, the frame is from Dolce & Gabbana and the glasses are some bulletproof made glasses (kidding.. I won't be able to catch a bullet with my eyes for you, but the glasses were expensive as well). I wouldn't be able to buy this without leasing it. So basically, you pay a little amount of money each month for over two years, with free insurance. That's ideal right? And if the two years are over, you can choose to pay it off, return the glasses (who would ever do that?) or choose another pair of glasses to lease.
I'm doing this at Iris Optiek, so look if they're in your neighbourhood!

Glitter Egg

As it was Easter Sunday this weekend, I thought a few drinky-poos were in order, well, it would be rude not too wouldn’t it? And this is what I wore:



Virgoslounge are a London based women’s brand, bringing a vintage feel to current fashion trends. They started following me on Twitter, so as you do, I had a little peek at their page, which followed on to their website, which followed on to a few cheeky purchases. Eep. I instantly fell in love with the brand and this dress, which retails at £49.99, and obviously the velvet leggings I’m wearing, costing £50.
I was so sad when the dress arrived, as it was just that little bit too big. I had ordered a size 8, as size 6 wasn’t supplied at that time. But size 6’s fear not!! They are going to be introducing this size in all future designs on this dress *phew*; so I’ll definitely be purchasing that when it’s released. (I hear new colour variations are expected too, ooh lala). I ordered my leggings in an S (this has now changed and are available in sizes 4,6 etc) they are super comfortable, the perrrrfect fit. Plus, they hug my bum, which is hard because my bum is pretty non-existent *sobs*.
Now, I know some of you may be saying, this is a wee bit pricey. And yes, I would agree, they are slightly more expensive than your standard purchase. However, it’s SO worth it! Plus, they are regularly promoting special offers (follow them on twitter to hear the latest, @VIRGOSLOUNGE); for example, I purchased my leggings & dress on a 30% off offer, costing me approx £70 for both, which I think is a bargain. Especially when you take in to consideration the quality of this stuff; all of the sequins on my leggings were hand sewn on, which would’ve taken an age. But they are wonderful and it means your own piece is completely unique! 
I will 100% be purchasing from these lovely ladies again and I’m so excited to see more of their new collections when they are released.
What do you think of Virgoslounge? Have you purchased from them before or do you think you will now?
