Valentine's Day/Alannah Dress

Hello everyone. It is my final week of holidays and I absolutely cannot believe that I am returning to university next week. It is difficult to comprehend where the last three months has gone and I wish the time had not gone so fast. I think the transition between relaxation and holidays to full on study will be quite difficult for me next week. I am trying to enjoy the time I have left which is only a couple of days now. This semester I will be studying constitutional law, property law, company accounting and accounting and information systems. I can honestly say that I am not looking forward to any of them.

Now onto something more positive- a new dress! This dress was a gift that I receieved last weekend from Rydog's mum and it is by Alannah Hill. Alannah is my favourite designer ever and I think her collections are truly the most amazing out there. I love the designs because of the femininity, detailing and use of colours. The materials are beautiful and the clothes fit well. I adore the bows and florals and I think the collections are consistent with my style. I posted about her collection previously and you can view it here. Since Alannah clothes are quite expensive I certainly thought it would be a lot longer before I owned anything from there so I am very surprised and happy that I now own this perfect dress. I love it so much.



I am disapointed at how the pictures of my new dress turned out because they certainly don't do it justice and it is actually more pink than cream up close. Also it is the sort of dress that I would wear to a very special event so I hope I have the opportunity to take some pictures another time. For now I took some normal pictures to give you an idea.

I wore this dress on Valentine's Day. Unfortunately it was raining all weekend and Rydog and I had planned to spend the evening at the beach so we had to make alternative arrangements at the last minute. We ended up having a quiet and relaxed candle dinner and Rydog went to a lot of trouble to buy my favourite foods consisting of caesar salad, chips, chocolate mousse and vanilla coke. I much prefered it to going out for dinner and I'd love to do it again sometime. Rydog gave me this cute bear called Harrison. Mum also bought me some chocolates for Valentine's Day which was very lovely.
