    Outfit: Swallow Print Dress

    Swallow Print Dress c/o Warehouse // Milkman Bag, c/o Brit-Stitch // Denim Jacket, ASOS (2010)    I  am a complete sucker for a printed dress, let alone one with hundreds of birds on it. So when Warehouse asked if I’d like to review a dress from their collection, I of course saw and fell in love with this Swallow Print one. Swoonville. I have to say I was rather wary of it arriving in the post. My style is usually a…

    Bookmarked: 6 Floral Dresses for Weddings

    There are many things in my life that induce giddiness; bin bags with tie handles, a good British murder mystery, Kate Bush, a cake baking in the oven and a new floral dress. Yup, I am the coolest of the cool. I mentioned last week the gorgeous dress I bought from Reiss for two super-special weddings coming up (only 4 days till the OH’s little brother ties the knot!) and along the way I bookmarked these gorgeous floral print dresses…

    August Wish List: Seasalt, New Look and Datter Industries

    Style: Top 10 Dresses With Pockets

    Occasionally I live vicariously through this blog, which isn’t a bad thing. Simply blogging about a pretty polka dot skater dress and a pair of Oxford brogues can keep me sailing through the broke/unglamorous month of January happily – hence this post. All of my free time is currently made up of dog walking and staying indoors so I’ve been living my January days in leggings, baggy jumpers and walking boots – unkempt, shall we say? Therefore I believe it’s perfectly…

    Wedding Season

    I have two weddings to look forward to this year (both include hog roasts at the reception – oh my) therefore the dress hunt has begun. I have three options – working with what I already have (I do have a trip to Australia to save for), borrow from an obliging friend, or purchase a new dress (I have no shame and will happily wear the same dress at both weddings – accessorise darling!). If it is the latter, I’m…
