Sequins and lobster

Yesterday I took one of my oldest friend's ( old as in a friend I've known for years, since age 11 to be exact, after we bonded in school over Salt n pepa and athletics), out for a belated birthday lunch. We went to the refinery in Southwark and caught up over lobster, steak, fat chips, onion rings and prosecco. 





I wore my latest sequin purchase - a sequin kimono, that I picked up on a whim last month in Topshop. I was in Topshop with a friend as she was craving a bubble tea. We then went down stairs to browse the last bits of the sale which is when I spotted this beauty. I love me a sequin and I also have mad love for kimono's so stumbling across this, I guess I felt like the cat got cream ( as my American bestie would say).

Even more exciting was the price tag, which was a steal at  £20 from £95, yes really!

I would say that this sequin kimono is a piece that will take me smiling from spring into summer. A statement number for sure, which is why I teamed it with a simple white vest and grey lace shorts. As I don't really like to blend in and I have a great love affair with  bright lips, I dug out one of my fave Lippy 's; Fuchsia from Sleek makeup.

Kimono- tastic



I picked this Kimono up a few months ago, I wore  it for a few hours, then forgot about it. I only re discovered it the other day when I came across a picture I took of it for a potential blog post (due to the crazy price tag and the pure fabulosity of it). I didn't get round to writing it; don't ask me why as I don't even know.

So now that we have been reacquainted, allow me to introduce you to this lush kimono that I paid a whooping..... £3 for, yes £3, in the H&M sale. The funny thing is I bought this after I just had finished eating a overpriced but yummy lunch from Pret that costed me £6.

I am going to let you in on a secret, this kimono was hiding in the lingerie department, so it is really a lingerie type of kimono, but I won't tell anyone if you don't, deal? As I am Krazy about this Kimono.

So thoughts on the kimono?
