Have A Heart And Read To The End.x

Valentine is looming and maybe some of you non-singletons are making a mental list of the perfect gift you would hope to receive.

Well, think no more. I have THE perfect gift. But you will need to work fast with the heavy hints and longing sighs. In time for Valentine, Frock has made ten, limited edition, Bombshell dresses in a red and white, mini heart fabric. Ten of these will only EVER be available and we promise never to make this dress in the same fabric again.

 Why? I hear you ask....Well, there is a very good reason. These dresses have been made to support The British Heart Foundation. They cost £99.00 and £10 from every dress will go the the  BHF.So not only will you look super cute for your other half when you are enjoying that lovely meal you managed to wangle but you will also feel as pleased as punch  because you're wearing it for charidee, mate.




If Valentine is not a good enough excuse to buy one of these beauties then how about supporting the BHF's new campaign, National Wear Red Day which takes place on Fri 24th February.

You would stop a few hearts wearing this to work ( just make sure you check out this video before leaving the house!!)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILxjxfB4zNk&feature=player_embedded

If these are not good enough reasons then maybe this will help. I have personal reasons for supporting the BHF. My son, Billy, was born with a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallots. This meant  that he needed to have open heart surgery at the age of one. He also has a pemanent pacemaker fitted. I therefore have first hand experience of the amazing work the BHF do.

Discovering that there was something wrong with my baby was the most shocking, confusing, terrifying and  emotional experience  I have ever (and I hope) will ever experience. But my son is alive and well, thanks in part to the research and support of the BHF. Please watch the video made by my son which will give you a minute glimpse into that very hard part of our lives.
