A Modcloth Stylish Surprise

I'm sure any long term reader of my blog will know by now that I have serious lust for Modcloth. They have some of the cutest and most adorable prints and I want all of their dresses. All of them. So when I saw they were doing their occasional 'stylish surprise' packages I just had to grab one! For $20 you can get a dress in your size, but you have absolutely no idea what dress you'll get. I've ummed and aahed a few times about doing it when I've gotten the newsletter emails about it, and finally decided to go for it this time. $20 keeps you under the limit for custom charges and isn't too huge of a risk if you get something you don't like. Plus, in the UK, Modcloth stuff is popular and in demand for selling second hand, so I went for it!

And this is the dress I got! Totally different to anything I would usually opt for because of the brown/tan colour tones, but actually, a really lovely piece. No sleeves, nipped in at the waist, cute pleats in the skirt, very me style. It's chiffon and fully lined, I think I snagged a real bargain here. I did a bit of googling of the print and found the original dress on Modcloth, it was originally $64.99, wow! It's the 'I Rest My Grace Dress in Feathers'.

The print is really fun, all feathers and random swirls in blues, oranges, greens, blacks and more. It almost has a hint of owl to it. I never wear brown, but because it has the touch of black in it I paired it with my trusty pleather jacket from Matalan and my favourite Demonia faux leather boots. I think it's going to be a good one for feeling a bit more dressed up in the summer because of the chiffon fabric.

While I lucked out and got something different and cute for my wardrobe, not everyone got so lucky. Several other plus size bloggers really didn't do so well! Becky of Very Hungry Faterpillar got sent a jumper instead of a dress which is a total no. Mookie hasn't blogged hers yet, but she got 2 and one was essentially a wedding dress, so keep an eye on her blog in case she shares. I would definitely give it another go because $20 isn't a huge risk and I love so much of what Modcloth do.

Have you given their stylish surprises a go? What did you get and what did you think?

Much love,

Watermelon Obsession

Lately, I am totally addicted to watermelon print. It is so cute and colourful, I want watermelon everything! I think it's the contrast of colours, watermelons are so bright and fun, and tasty!

The only thing I have right now that is watermelon is the adorable vest top. It's from New Look but is no longer available on their website, however ASOS do have it! New Look Inspire Watermelon Print Vest £8.99. My local New Look did have it in stock when I last popped in so you may get lucky.

ASOS Curve Bikini Pant in Watermelon Print £16

ASOS Curve 50's Halter Bikini Top in Watermelon Print £18

How ridiculously cute is this bikini? Totally perfect for a summer holiday, or even for just lounging in the garden. I'm a sucker for visible bra straps (classy, I know!) and am really tempted to get this bikini top to wear as a bra just so the print can be visible.

Green Watermelon Fruit Clutch from New Look £9.99

I just love this! I'm not much of one for clutch bags, I tend to find I forget I'm holding them and drop them, but this one has the cute wrist strap so might actually work for me. It zips up at the top rather than a popper so is nice and secure for keeping all your essentials safe.

Tasty Watermelon Necklace £22 by Little Miss Delicious

I literally squealed with delight when I saw this go on the LMD website. So cute, so colourful, and I love that happy little face. Perfect summer cuteness.

Watermelon Stripes iPhone Case £13 by Memeskins

I have a really cute Lumpy Space Princess iPhone case but it just started to crack....I think a watermelon case might have to be my replacement!

Watermelon Fruit Tie Dye/Dip Dye Cotton Tote Bag £10 by HannahDaviesTextiles

I love a good tote bag. Handy for shopping or for school, and so reasonably priced. This would be perfect for the beach.

Watermelon Necklace £20.37 by ILoveCrafty

There is so much adorable laser cut goodness in this shop. I love the cute bite marks, and that the watermelon skin is a separate piece, I think it adds really nice movement.

Modcloth Picnic Person Dress $54.99

I LOVE the subtle hint of watermelon in this dress. Most watermelon prints are very obvious, this is just that bit classier because it is a small slice of it ;) It's available in everything from an XS to a 4X.

Snifty Watermelon Scented Pen £2.95

Yeah. I think I need this for the office. I never have cute pens, and this is the cutest!

Mini Watermelon Bowl £14.38 by Vegetabowls

This store sells everything from these mini bowls up to giant serving bowls in watermelon print. I want them all! They are so kitschy and unusual.

There is SO much watermelon cuteness out there right now, though sadly plus size clothing does seem to be lacking in options so much. If you know of more, tell me, I want a watermelon skirt!

Much love,
