Birthday Treat Bonanza

Mini and I went on a birthday shopping spree yesterday to Selfridges. What an utter treat. It was all Mini's idea. What better gift to get me than a pretty dress. I mean I know I may have a wardrobe stocked full but I'd be mad to turn down another. Ooh the excitement - what would Mini choose?

First stop pink Miu Miu coat. Definitely Mini's favourite colour

William Vintage was Mini's idea of heaven. What could be better than a gold ball gown embroidered with silver thread and flowers. A dress Belle would be delighted to wear in Beauty and The Beast but where could i wear it out? School drop off?

Strapless Roksanda Illincic? With holographic beading? You can see a pattern emerging...

Finally a stop off at the queen of embellishment and evening wear Jenny Packham. A whole rail of feathers and tulle and sequins, perfect for the Oscars perhaps...

But it was off to the Stella McCartney changing room, the perfect place to base ourselves. Clever Stella, the whole wall was covered in interchangeable coloured perspex shapes and hooks, and it kept mini amused for quite some time whilst i happily tried on her selection.

Smile for our first pic Mini. Oops you can see she's been doing this way too long and is gaining quite an attitude! I'm loving this stretch jersey tomato red shift dress. Comfy and elegant. And Mini is showcasing her cousin Josie's Antik Batik silver printed coat to perfection.

Ah yes, the dress Gwynnie wore. Great choice. Loving the emerald and navy lace appliqué hearts and the side pockets

This is the one that won! Perfection from a little girl's perspective as well as a big girls. I love it! What could be better than a pale pink shift covered in sparkles, lipsticks and lips. Heaven.
