The hunt for the perfect dress
I remember when I was about 16, I never really wore dresses. I was a proper tomboy. My mum told me that I should wear dresses and that I’d look good. I just couldn’t see them ever suiting me. I preferred my jeans, cowboy boots and band t-shirts.
We bought two dresses on that first day shopping and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I am ever on the hunt for the perfect dress. My current dilemmas are a dress for a wedding and warm jumper dresses for all these outdoor events I keep going to. I can’t rely on the British weather to keep me warm!
I’m fairly tall and my biggest issue, with day dresses especially, is finding ones that come to my knees. My thighs are far too wobbly to be shown off in public, even in leggings.
This dress from Freeman’s (£65) is much more my style than some of the bum-skimmers from high street shops. this is knee length, pretty and has a flattering neckline.
This dress (£38) is very tempting for the wedding I have to go to in August, but generally I’m not sure this fitted shape suits me. I think I’d feel much more comfortable in something with a full skirt. However, the shape, texture and colour is just gorgeous.
Competition – Win Havaianas Rain Boots!
Havaianas has kindly offered to donate a pair of its new Rain Boots to this competition and all in time for festival season too. And, with the way the weather has been this last week, you'll be needing them. You may know Havaianas for making awesome flip flops. Well, in April they launched a range of wellies at Selfridges!
So, to enter the competition all you have to do is show me your festival outfit. Dress up and snap a picture of your style then send it jess@feelingstylish.co.uk.
The winner will receive a pair of the new Rain Boots so don't forget to send your shoe size with your picture!
If you don't want to snap a pic of yourself then why not style up a friend and send in a picture of them instead!
The competition ends on the June 31st. Any entries I receive after then will not be counted. I will announce the winner shortly after! Only one entry per person please!
The all new Rain Boots collection comes in 8 colours: Green, Black/Yellow, Pink/Light Blue, Purple Pink, Grey/Pink, Turquoise/White – and cool patterns, Always Summer and Elegance. They're priced between £45 – 50, colour-depending. They are only available for purchase on www.selfridges.com at the moment, but very soon you can get them on www.havaianas-store.co.uk – where you can enter your email and be the first to know when these beauties go on sale.
I love the pink and grey ones! Take a looks at the Selfridges site to see them all.
At Selfridges the Rain or Shine Festival was an indoor event. There was real grass, a showcase of the new wellies and plenty of celebrities including Daisy Lowe and Jamie Woon. The food on offer was all the festival greats including mini tacos, burgers and chips! Take a look below at some of the pics from the event!


The 500byGucci


Fiat has teamed up with Gucci to celebrate two special anniversaries. 150 years since the unification of Italy and Gucci’s 90th birthday!
Together the two Italian superbrands have produced the Fiat 500 by Gucci.
It’s a stunning little car at the best of times but with the design by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini, in partnership with Fiat’s Centro Stile, it’s going to look as beautiful as ever.
I own a Fiat Punto so I’m a huge fan of the brand. The sleek lines of the Italian cars are beautiful, they drive well and my little Punto has the ever-useful city drive. I’d be lost without it.
Every time I see a Fiat 500 I wonder if maybe I should trade in for something that zippy and cute. The 500byGucci will be available in the UK with two engine specification choices: the nimble yet economical 1.2 litre – which will cost £14,565 OTR – and the award-winning 0.9 litre TwinAir, priced at £15,765 OTR.
Generally I look for a little more zoom in cars (although my Punto is a 1.2l) but the 500byGucci is so small and light that even a 1.2 engine is going to give it some go!
Initially the new car will be available exclusively online, and is another example of Fiat’s use of e-commerce to sell vehicles, having already enjoyed success with cars such as the special edition Fiat 500 Pink and Fiat 500 Matt Black. The fully automated on-line sales scheme allows customers to pay a deposit, order it directly from the factory, track the car’s progress, make a final payment and even arrange special delivery of the car to their home. Customers will be able to visit www.fiat.co.uk/500bygucci when it goes live later this month.
The upside the it only be available online at first is the fact that you don’t have to spend hours sitting around a Fiat dealership to fill out paper work and to be up sold on stuff.

Look at those beautiful curves. I actually prefer the white. I just think it’s more… Gucci.
