Hello everyone, hope your week has started well! Today I brought myself an organizer and managed to tick a lot off my to do list. After a few months of being in bad health at the beginning of the year it has taken so long to get up to speed with life. That includes all my illustration work, sorting out and clearing my bedroom, and actually going out and enjoying a few drinks! So finally I feel ready to get my life on track, obviously things aren't perfect but I'm learning to get through it.

Lace waist dress - AXParis
Heels - Newlook
Sunglasses - Violet Eyes (Jodie's New Etsy Store)
Glitter Bow - Crown&Glory 

If there is something that cheers me up, it's getting a new pretty dress. That may seem shallow but I can't deny that pleased feeling I feel when twirling around in a new frock. This one in particular from AXParis is one my sister linked me, as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it! It's such a perfect little number for evening attire, especially if like me you prefer to wear black tights. The black lace waist band sits sweetly and is the reason black tights look lovely with it. I have stayed quite plain and stuck with black heels.

My friend Jodie launched an Etsy store today, selling accessories including headbands, brooches and sunglasses all hand made!! I love these she made me for my birthday, with perfect little heart beads and floral print. They are so fun and cute, a lot of her items resemble the same quality. go have a looksie!

Lacey Top - Awwdore
Skirt - Topshop (basement oxford circus)
Cardie - Primark


I am wearing another pretty top from Awwdore, if you haven't already then go take a look! They have so many pretty tops and blouses, making me want to add most of them to my wish list! This one is a perfect pretty lace number, that can be worn any day for any occasion! I love tops like this that are delicate and nice, that can be dressed up or down. Classically when I am having a normal, casual day I would go for an outfit like this. Floral skirt, lacey top and thick cardie! All topped off with simple accessories, a delicate necklace is perfect I would say.

For crafty occasions, there is nothing better than keeping your pins and handy bit&bobs somewhere safe. I got this gorgeous tub from Belle and Blue and it is so cute!! Perfect to go in my bedroom and for keeping my needles, pins and threads inside. They have a few different designs as well. 

On Wednesday my best friend Jodie came over to have a mini birthday and to make things. Like usual we drank lots of tea and started chatting about all the things we could do together as a team, we like so much of the same things and are always on the same level!! We had a great day and I was so spoilt with presents, all I could do to make it up to her was supply her with lots of yummy food during the day. 
One of the things she got me was this AMAZING Glitter necklace with my name on it from Chelsea Doll!! I have wanted one for months and when I finally got it I was so shocked and happy she remembered. I also got lots of other presents which was so lovely. Keeping on the topic of being crafty still, I made myself this pinafore dress. I had every intention of posting up a DIY post for you all but I forgot to take photos half way through! DOH! So I just have a snippet of how I did it and if you are good at sewing then please go make yourself one, they are so easy to do!!

Baby blue blouse with pearl beads - Awwdore
Dogtooth dress - DIY
Glitter necklace - Chelsea Doll

I teamed it with this pretty pastel blue blouse with pearl bead detail from Awwdore. they also had a lilac one in the same style but really loved this colour. Awwdore have such an amazing range of pretty tops and blouses and it was hard to choose out of them because they are all lovely. So glad I chose this one though because my new glittery necklace goes perfectly with it!! hope you like the look.

Floral dress & Silver accessories.

On a daily basis I love to browse different webstores for pretty clothes and accessories, always playing dress up in my head of what I would but if I had the money! So today was the same as many, however this time I just had to share my selection with you!! I never thought I would be considering buying silver shoes & bag, but when I saw Olivia (What Olivia Did) in a pair of silver disco style platforms last week I feel in love. I found this pare on Asos that sticks with the trend but also has a girly look about them, pretty much perfect for me. Asos also had this silver clutch bag which I thought would be a cute addition to the outfit.

The dress is from Avenue 32, a place I always keep an eye on but sadly cannot afford in my price range. That is not denying though the amount of beautiful items they have. I am lusting over so many currently, imagining owning them all (If I was a millionaire). this floral beauty in particular is one of my favorites, it has all the best parts of a highstreet style dress but with the quality of designer. the print is really pretty and I think it would be perfect for a summer wedding. the back has the lovely cross over detail which I love, and is overall a very sweet little number.

Any outfit in my eyes needs some headwear, and this time I headed over to Beauxoxo because I remembered seeing this navy wonder. What I love about it for this outfit in particular is the silver trim, it just makes it a bit more original and quirky! Any one want to buy me all these things please? I'll buy you a cookie in return :)

Floral Dress - Avenue 32
Silver shoes & Bag - Asos

Rainy days in my home town.

I always feel quite strange now doing a blog post simply showing an outfit! Back in the day that's all I used to do but lately I always seem to have more to say. It feels good though to get a post up purely showing an outfit I have worn. This was from yesterday, it was raining heavily most of the day and what seemed appropriate was keeping comfortable. I got this denim blouse from Awwdore, and it seemed perfect for lounging around it. I wouldn't be me though if I didn't style it in a girly way, therefore adding the velvet skirt and cardie. This head band from Roses and Clementines matched the colour scheme perfectly and just felt right to wear! Hopefully you like the look!
