Lace Trimming

Wearing floral slip dress from Zara · cardigan from Nasty Gal · Deandri Helga platforms · second hand pendant

Lace has been a big part of my wardrobe lately but in very subtle amounts. I find that this small panel of lace gives just the perfect touch of interest to an otherwise standard, floral dress. Wanting to draw out more black, I layered an oversized, bat-wing cardigan for warmth and slouch factor. What do you think? A very happy mother's day to all the mothers in the world!

Lace and Thrills

Wearing Jack Wills dress · H&M crop top · Deandri Helga platforms · second hand pendant

It's taken me a long 5 months to purge my wardrobe, something that's still in progress, and although most things are going straight to charity or for recycling, there are a few gems I wish I'd re-discovered sooner. Such as this red grid print dress from Jack Wills! I remember really splashing out on this in my pre-student loan/work days and when it arrived, I just didn't like it as much in real life as I did seeing it on my laptop screen. Seems all it takes is a fitted crop top and I'll be pulling this cute frill-lined dress out more often.

The Graphic Midi

Wearing ASOS skirt · F21 crop jumper · Zara clogs

You know me, I love a busy outfit, and unfailingly gravitate towards prints so trippy and fluorescent they'd make any set of eyes cross over. Rather ironically, as owner of a style blog, I've given up shopping for Lent and it's proving a challenging task. Please spare me a thought as I embark on the remaining 30 days trying to steer clear of all shops...

The Slip


Wearing slip dress from H&M · knit cardigan from New Look · second hand pendant | iPhone case c/o Iconemesis

Turning the provocative slip dress on its head and instead, I'm stomping around in this delicate asymmetrical slip from H&M with the epitome of a chunky knit plonked on top. All of that boudoir association gone in an instant. This is my favourite piece in my wardrobe at the moment purely because I love the challenge of bringing out the chill factor in something stereotypically flirtatious, although I must add, the slinkiness of this slip to instantly streamline the body wins my approval.
Also showing off my new phone case from Iconemesis which came just in the nick of time as my previous one snapped the day I received this! You guys know how much of a coffee lover (addict) I am, I chose this case for that exact reason, and because it's mega cute. They have hoards of quirky, cute, humorous designs so be sure to check them out.

In Floral

Wearing Helga platforms from Deandri · floral skirt from Forever 21 · second hand pendant

My brand new Deandri Helgas make their debut, I had been lusting over these shoes for well over a year now what with having to pay customs on top of shipping putting me off (the pain of living in the UK). 3 weeks ago, on Valentine's day coincidentally, I snapped, clicked through to checkout on the Deandri tab that had been living on my browser for a year, and now that I have them on my feet, well, I don't feel an ounce of regret. My first Valentine's day gift to myself and I am super super chuffed. Expect to see many an outfit post wearing these babies~
