Finally…Friday. And finally, my velvet shorts from ASOS arrived! They took over two weeks in the end, and then, after all that I wasn’t sure I liked them…

Several trying on sessions later, and I do like them, perhaps even love them.

I played it safe with colours this time, as I wore this to work, prior to a couple of appointments
(a little short for work?! Perhaps, but they went down well)

I also picked up this long lusted after faux fur coat in New Look the other day. I happened upon it by chance, and it was reduced from £40 to £18!

What do you lovely people have planned for the weekend? I plan on mucho relaxing here! I have Laryngitis and lazy-itis and just want to slob around!

Stay tuned for a couple more giveaways!

This is just an interim post,
born out of curiosity over anything else.

With the new year and everything, I was wondering, what you would like to see from adaisychaindream in 2011?

All feedback will be considered and I may even implement some of it 😉

Have a good mid-week guys! This is a scheduled post because I have my mad day, normal posting will resume tomorrow.

It’s been a long time since I allowed myself to make New Year Resolutions, partially because it seemed pointless, but mainly because I was afraid of failure.
This year I’m ready to re-embrace, failure or not. Goals are good.

1. Keep fighting and winning against the eating disorder.

2. Get back in to jogging/running, building strength up slowly.

3. Take better care of my skin, I’ll be 24 this year, it’s about bloody time I developed a proper skincare routine.

4. Stop procrastinating or talking myself out of things…what is the worst that could happen? (exception; when death or serious injury is a likely outcome!)

5. Throw myself in to work and take whatever opportunity comes my way.

6. Cook more. The freezer is great, but nothing beats a fresh, nourishing and home cooked meal.

7. Make more time for baking. Try new recipes.

8. And socialising.

9. Try new things, be it a craft, a food, a social event or even a style of clothing.

10. Get back to learning to drive.

Happy New Year lovely readers,
I hope you celebrated in style, aren’t too hungover and are ready to embrace 2011!

Once again, thank you to each and every one of you for your support and encouragement. I’m hoping to try some new things with the blog this year so watch this space.

What are your resolutions?

You might remember a few weeks ago I did a post on the amazing band Richard Parker. These guys are ON FIRE and now have their first EP available for free download!

They’ve also been gigging around and I predict BIG things for these guys next year. To stalk them (and maybe pop along to a gig) you can follow them on Tumblr and facebook for all the latest!

(gold star for anyone who can guess which one is related to me!)

Miss Selfridge have collaborated with Sony Pictures to create a capsule collection of nine t-shirt designs celebrating the release of the most hotly anticipated film of the year “Burlesque”.
The film starring Cher and Christina Aguilera has inspired the collection which features a navy pearl effect vest, a white corset style tee with diamante detailing and burlesque dancer print tees in red, white and black featuring the drawings of Andrea Selby who sketched all the action from the film set. Miss Selfridge will also show you how to recreate the look from the film with their ‘get the look’ range in store featuring a stunning black beaded cape, a one shoulder feather detail black body con dress, plush velvet leggings and a fabulous pair of diamante detail shoe boots – perfect for making a statement during the Christmas
party season.

(from the Press Release)

Miss Selfridge were kind enough to share some photos of the range with me, which in turn I am sharing with you! I’m head of heels for these pieces, utterly beautiful and very unique!

I’m not usually a t-shirt girl at all, always attracted to dresses over anything else, but the t-shirts in this range are something else altogether! Don’t get me started on the divine dress though…I’m drooling.

All of the designs will be available online AND in-store from the 9th December and prices start from £22.

Burlesque comes to cinemas on the 17th of December, making it perfect for a Christmas night out. I’m not a film girl (noticing a patten here?) and usually resent paying high cinema prices for something I will fidget all the way though (it doesn’t matter how good the film is, I fidget!) but I’m thinking of taking my Mum to see this one as an additional Birthday treat.

Burlesque is the story of Ali (Christina Aguilera) who is a small-town girl with a big voice who follows her dreams to LA. After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess (Cher), the club’s proprietor and headliner. Burlesque’s outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture the young ingenue, who vows to perform there one day.

To view the trailer go to www.burlesque-movie.co.uk

What do you think? Will you be going to see this? And what has caught your eye from the collection so far? I’d love to see or hear about any purchases!

I’ll be showcasing the gorgeous tee I was sent by the lovely Rachel as soon as the weather warms up enough to wear it without getting frostbite!
