.: A Christmas Miracle.

I think I may have found the best bargain, EVER.

I'm not even exaggerating!

If you read my blog, most likely you would have heard of me mentioning Newlife, the shop which sells discounted products from a variety of stores. My friends and I can spend hours rummaging over each rail searching for pieces, bargains, and as you can see below, certain showstoppers. We'll spend most the time guessing which brands they are which makes us feel better about the big savings we're usually making even though I guess, yes, we're still shopping and spending money, but at least it's less money!

To the A-Mazing dress.

I didn't intentionally go shopping for pretty much the most formal, beautiful and elegant dress I've ever had. I popped into Newlife just to have a 'browse' as us shopaholics do, a couple of times a week... But drawing closer to Christmas they magically find rail after rail of amazing garments. I could have been there for hours going through the vast range of colours, designs and styles but I as soon as I saw this one I really did love it. I'm one of those people who won't leave a shop until I've tried it on, so I did, which really was a mistake as I had no choice but to buy it and with someone who is pretty much skint right now, not the best option, but how could I not?!

I know it's black and I could really do with some colour in my life but, I don't care. The embellishments are enough to make this dress stand out in a crowd. Everything is so meticulously sewn and the design is just superb. The style also for me personally is perfect fit. I can't be doing with a strapless dress, I have to wear a bra due to my boobs so cap sleeves are fab; it covers up some of my horrible scar also thankfully! Not only that, the v neck and tapered waist do justice for my figure. A dress you feel comfortable in will make you feel a thousand times better than one which doesn't suit you. When you're constantly pulling it up or going to look in a mirror as you're self-concious, sometimes it's definitely worth the extra money.

As per usual I was tapping way on google while waiting in the queue to find out where it was from and if I was making any kind of saving. And oh my god, was it a saving! This dress is orginally from John Lewis and created by the designer Adrianna Papell. If that wasn't good enough, the dress is current season and is stil available on the John Lewis website at a whopping £270.00! And the price I got it for? £38.99!

I know, an early Christmas miracle!

I'm hoping it will make the perfect New Years Eve dress.

I'm pre-warning you about the amount of photo's, but I couldn't help myself!
