I saw this fashion story in Marie Claire and felt truly inspired to bouffant my hair and laze about in the country in pretty tea dresses.

Here is an outfit I have put together that I think captures the mood of the photo shoot. The shoes are the same as used in the magazine.

Dress from TopShop £45
Cardigan from Miss Selfridge £32
Tights from Monsoon £5
Shoes from Pedro GarcĂ­a approx £300

Prom dress from Freudian Slips Vintage £200
I think this might actually be the dress they used because it is the same website, the same price, the same colour - it has the same ruffles and everything!

Coat from Posh Girl Vintage approx £117
Earrings from Chanel £250

Lovely post! I've been wanting a leopard-print coat like that since forever.

Oh this is brilliant!
I need bouffant hair as well after seeing this, and a country manor!

Oh, this style is so glamorous! I can never figure out how to proper backcomb my hair though...I guess I just like being able to run my fingers through it too much.

I want a bouffant too, but I need the guts and the occasion first! Pretty shoot and great outfits.
