topi tea dress: motel
fedora: topshop
selena bag: la moda
martie shoes: topshop
chunky silver band: kukee
some brands are just damn dangerous for my bank balance!
motel is one of those websites I go out of my way to avoid browsing due to the sheer amount of temptation on offer, I am however fatally weak (I guess some things are just too pretty to avoid goddamn it)
I finally ordered this dress after a few days of ummming and ahhhing and I'm so glad I did; it's the perfect little summer dress and really comfortable to wear (now I just have to resist the other three dresses I spotted...)
I also picked up this oversized selena bag from la moda which was a steal at £16 and could quite literally carry a small rhino (ok I exaggerate a little but it's amazingly roomy) I loved the padlock and tassel detail and I wanted a big white summer bag for holiday so it ticked all the boxes. they have some beauties in stock the minute and I'm seriously tempted to go back for another style as they're so darn affordable.
I best get off my laptop, the boy has been on a 100 mile bike ride today and is expecting a slap up meal, god help him (the contents of my fridge include butter, chocolate and a suspicious looking packet of ham... send help!)
back soon

It looks so pretty on you, especially with the hat, I love the hat. My favourite shop is Urban Outfitters, I adore everything!xx
ReplyDeleteOh Caroline! I watched a pair of those beautiful shoes on eBay all week and unfortunately the bidding ended whilst I was working. Seeing them in action, looking so gorgeous makes me even sadder I lost them!! Must have white t-bars ASAP. I love contrasting them with black tights :) xoxo

This dress is lovely. I saw something similar on RI website but it was sold out. I never thought to look at Motel for an alternative. It's really nice!

I thought the dress was the Primark one I got a while ago (link below), they're pretty identical! http://theshoegirldiaries.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/day-862-theres-no-use-chasing-after.html
ReplyDeleteI love how you've styled it, although I'd be constantly freaking that a gust of wind would reveal my pants to all!!

ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous in red! I've been tempted to buy a dress like this, but I have decided that I don't suit red! x
