CRY NO MORE - I'M BACK!!!

Helly my lovelies, have you missed me?!?!?  Now, I can imagine you have been waiting with baited breath for the next installment of my wonderful blog and was left with despair and confusion when 2 weeks ago nothing appeared, then the same again last week - I'm truly sorry, first there was an unexpected visit back home then a pesky virus took residence in my laptop - however, I'm now back with gusto, brace yourselves girls!!

So, what has been happening in the exciting world of Lucille Von Frock I hear you say, well lots....Firstly, I had the opportunity to attend the Next Models/Sony Music London Fashion Week Party (http://www.nextmodels.com/) and had a thoroughly splendid evening (what's not to love when the champagne is flowing?), for this momentous occasion I wore my famous 'glamoursuit' from my previous blog, and although I was surrounded by Glamazons I still felt a million dollars, nothing can keep the confidence of this 5' 3" firecracker down!!

Next was the press night for the Wizard Of Oz at the London Palladium (http://www.wizardofozthemusical.com/) and when I say it was PHENOMENAL I truly mean it, and if anyone tells you they saw me shed a tear when Dorothy sang 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' they're fibbing, totally fibbing, LVF does not cry, I had something in my eye....stop asking me about it OK!!!! Anyway, whilst enjoying the Wizard of Oz and NOT crying I was wearing the lovely black & taupe full skirt also previously mentioned on here a few weeks back, however, as it was a bit warm to wear the jumper, I opted for a 3/4 sleeve, scoop necked fitted 't-shirt' - it's actually 'shapewear' and is meant to be worn under clothes, but it looks too good not to be shown off!

Now, onto this weeks golden nugget...as mentioned previously, I've shown quite a few black outfits, and also as mentioned I HARDLY EVER WEAR BLACK! Which I understand must be hard to believe! So this week I'm going for a lovely turquoise pastel and cream/grey  prom dress from Betsey Johnson (http://www.betseyjohnson.com/). Now I'd first like to declare something, I'm a sucker for a Betsey Johnson dress, I just totally love her designs, there is always something a little frivolous about them, completely ME!

I've worn this dress on quite a few occasions and always feel like a princess when I wear it, as you'll see it's strapless with a sweetheart neckline, the bottom half being ra-ra style with layers of turqoise satin and cream lace.

 Now although I like to have my shoes and handbag being the same colour as something on the outfit on this occasion it was a bit of a no no, turquoise shoes anyone? No thanks! So I opted for a a pale grey suede peep to show with cute bow and pale grey clutch bag. With the pale grey being such a soft colour, I think creates the perfect down the middle balance between the turquoise and the cream, what do you think...?

As you'll see, the shoes are from Next (very reasonable, £35!) and are SO comfortable, I can literally walk miles in these shoes! The clutch was from TK Maxx about 6 years ago, I think it cost me about £3!

Once again, I've added the Vivienne Westwood pearl necklace and the pearl drop earrings which I've mentioned previously...

So, outfit complete and this is what I wore on Friday night at Proud Carbaret to celebrate my birthday! As you'll see make-up wise, as much as it pains me to go sans red lippy you'd have to be an imbecile to wear red with this outfit, so whilst the rest of the makeup was the same (pale skin, black cat eye liner, rosy cheeks) I opted for a pretty pastel pink lipstick to finish off the demure princess look!! Here is a picture of said lipstick enjoying getting up close and personal with some of that French fizzy pop....
