I am absolutely head over heels for my new 'Clouds of Cotton Candy' dress - it sums up my style and personality perfectly. You know you’re on to a winner when your best friend, mother, fiancĂ© and 17 year old brother all comment on your outfit!

I've spent the last week recovering from the removal of two wisdom teeth - not much fun at all, so as soon as I started feeling better, I couldn't wait to get out into the sunshine and take some photos of my dream dress.

The attention to detail in this piece, from the satin-wrapped corset boning, to the whimsical layer upon layer of the softest, hand-dyed tulle is simply perfect - I think i'm in love!

I hope you are all enjoying the festive season. I am looking forward to spending some quality time with my family enjoying great food and even better company. I would love to wish all of my gorgeous readers a safe and very merry Christmas.

Dress: Ouma by Monique Martinez

  85. What a delectably sweet ensemble! The long braided hair is a great compliment for the sugary sweet pink dress. And if you don't have th luxury of lengthened locks, great synthetic wigs or which ever of the various women's wigs that you prefer will generally suffice to satiate your outfits thirst for complimentary attitude.
