Pegasus Dress / Studded Collar (Mini Giveaway!)

Hello all! 
I'm very naughty having not posted for 8 days, but I have had a busy, busy week - please forgive me! My promised post yesterday evening did not come to fruition, as earlier that morning I was absolutely wild with joy after having received a phone call from Cosmopolitan Magazine, to tell me that I'm one of their 10 'Street Style Icon' finalists - which means I'll be going down to London for a photo shoot and interview very soon! So after that news, I just had to jump in my car and drive down to visit one of my best friends in Milton Keynes for celebratory coffee and dog-walking (who doesn't enjoy a good dog walk?) and didn't get home until about 10pm - hence no blog post! Anyway, back on topic, I was sent this dress by the lovely ladies at The Shortcut, which is a website that allows you to hire a dress for the weekend. Lets face it, a lot of us 'fashion conscious' ladies (cringe) don't particularly want to be seen in the same dress multiple times (although not all of us will readily admit it!) so The Shortcut is exactly that, a shortcut! Being someone who probably spends more of her student loan on clothes than anything else, I really think the premise of this website is fantastic. You get all the excitement of a new outfit, but at a fraction of the cost - perfect!

 Dress : Minkpink c/o The Shortcut.  Shirt worn under dress : c/o Miss Pap. Sunglasses : Urban Outfitters. Sunglass Chain : H&M. Boots : Topshop. Skull Bracelet : c/o Olena Jewellery.

In regards to the mini giveaway; courtesy of Olena Jewellery - if you'd like to win the skull bracelet I'm wearing in this post, simply leave a comment below (you don't have to say 'I want to enter' or anything) I'll automatically enter you :)
