Phew! It feel like it's been forever since I last did a proper post! I have been so busy lately I just haven't found the time. As well as working in the shop, I am now the official blogger for Vivien of Holloway!! Woop! You can read the blog here.

I was buying a birthday gift for my mum earlier in the month and spied a lovely dress in TopShop that I had to get. I mostly love it for the print, which reminds me of tea parties, but it's also made from jersey which makes it super soft and so comfortable to wear. The weather was nice for a while but has been getting rubbish again lately so I have put myself in a more idyllic location!



I also spent a whopping £16 on magazines! Oops!! The first one was Lula, which is the first ever issue I have bought and I was not disappointed! It has the most beautiful photography I have ever seen.



And the second one was a magazine called Amelia's Magazine, and it said it was the last issue that they were ever going to publish so, of course, I had to have it! I flicked through and it looked really cool, with loads of illustrations:









So, how have you all been? Done anything exciting lately? xxx

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 García 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

For about a week know I have been moaning about the fact that this months Elle magazine hasn’t been delivered, until this morning when I discovered it amongst the ridiculously large pile of magazines on my bedroom floor. It has officially turned into an epidemic.


Oops!

I wore my (relatively) new grey ribbed tights today, and they are very warm. I have decided that I need them in as many colours as possible!
