Little Mistress




`Inspired by my monochrome nails I got a bit matchy matchy and thought it was a great time to show off this little number*. I must admit I did feel slightly Sister Act when I slipped this on but I really love the floral detail on the cuff, which has this chic white leather look. The sixties swing shape is super flattering and I can't help but float about in it pretending I'm Twiggy.

In other news, what do you think about the updates to my layout? Abby did an amazing job and I feel like it's a lot crisper.

they think they're from the sixties, but they were born in 1991



I know I keep harping on about how beautiful the weather has been, but it makes taking outfit snaps all the more fun. This post may be a bit photo hefty but Jon and I got a bit carried away taking pictures in the fields by my house. One downfall was the high pollen count, grrr hayfever is such a burden. My eyes kept watering and I was sneezing every five minutes, which made for some very dodgy looking outtake photo's let me tell you...


I start my internship at Gleam today which I couldn't be any more excited about. I've been counting down the days since my interview with them back in February. I'm looking forward to actually being productive again, and most of all being part of Team Gleam for as long as they will have me. Exciting times lie ahead. My dad is already chuckling at the thought of me commuting every day but it's not that far a trip and my kindle has been stock piled with good books to keep me occupied on the way home.


What do you think of my monochrome polka dot pinafore? I do love a pinafore, and this number from New Look is no exception.  It was a steal at £17 and I did feel very girly twirling around in it in the meadow. It would also be great to wear to work, so an all round winner!

Shift Style Faux Leather Peter Pan Collar Dress - Lily Lulu*

You know when you see that dress online or in a store and you just have to have it? That's what happened when I spotted this sixties inspired number by Lily Lulu Boutique. Bang on the monochrome trend, I opted for the dress in white instead of the black which would have been inside my comfort zone. I felt transported back to the times of Twiggy and Edie Sedgwick and I think come summer, mix this dress with a sultry smokey eye and you've got a winner.  
I'm always a worrier when it comes to white clothing as we've all had our too sheer moments where it can be a little too see through but this dress is made of thick polyester and the loose fit makes for very comfortable wearing, and lot's of swishing about...

Have you had a look at the Lily Lulu Boutique range? You can them on Asos Marketplace, so what are you waiting for?!

p.s. please excuse my squinty eyes and knobbly knees...
