DRESS: c/o Hello Holiday CLUTCH: c/o Luna on the Moon
SHOES: Forever 21 (old) FLOWER GARLAND:Beauxoxo

Happy New Year! Feeling incredibly optimistic looking towards 2015 - a blank slate was exactly what I needed! Feeling re-energized and busy making goals. I was also thinking about doing a 2014 highlights post - but apparently people don't like them? :C What do you think?

ANYHOO LEMME TALK ABOUT THIS GORGEOUS OUTFIT. Can we all just take a moment to gush over this stunning black with a sheer overlay number the babes at Hello Holiday sent me?!

This dress manages to incorporate so many of my favorite things - sheer elements, a Peter Pan collar, a fit and flare silhouette. The silhouette gives it a retro feel, but the use of sheer and wholly original take on the Peter Pan collar gives it a fresh spin! Truly a perfect dress, and you can take 20% off your order with the code "2015" on Hello Holiday now!

Moving onto accessories, I paired the dress with the cutest peppermint clutch! Handmade in London by Luna on the Moon, this clutch is completely covered in chunky glitter that seriously won't budge - beautifully made, appeals to my sweet tooth and it even arrived with pop rocks candy!

And finally, my darling flower garland was a gift from Georgie at Beauxoxo - I am lucky enough to own a couple pieces from Georgie's line and am forever impressed by the quality and sheer beauty! This one might just be my favorite, with delicate gold leaf and white roses - it looks so striking with my pink hair!

Hope you are having a good start to 2015 <3

DEAR CREATURES CARDIGAN:Hello Holiday BLOUSE: Forever 21
JEANS: Forever 21 SEYCHELLES WEDGES:Hello Holiday GLASSES:Hello Holiday

Good morning! A quick outfit post for you today - featuring pieces from one of my very favorite stores, Hello Holiday! They stock so many of my favorite brands, like Dear Creatures and Seychelles, and are run by two of the most inspirational babes I know, Megan and Sarah!

This Dear Creatures cardigan is so darling - I love the nautical color scheme and how easily it fits in with any season!

Meanwhile, THESE SHOES. Unbelievably glitzy and even more dazzling in person, they might just be my dream shoes. And, even though they are pretty towering, they actually aren't as difficult to walk in as one might think *__*

Snapshots

Wednesday, July 9, 2014

Summer is in full bloom, and with the beautiful sun and flowers comes allergies and melting from heat (no air conditioning ahhh!). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to create new blog posts in a while for you guys, so I thought a lil update was in order!

An incredibly talented artist, I've been head over heels in love with Sibylline Meynet's dreamy pieces since I first saw her Adventure Time illustrations circling tumblr months ago. Not only did Sibylline draw me (I almost cried when it popped up on my instagram feed...!), but she sent me the original drawing when I bought her darling pastel dolls pins and Adventure Time stickers! Truly one of the most magical parcels I've ever received - and Sibylline's drawing of me now hangs in my office framed - is that vain?! ;)

I've always loved film photography, but have been so intimidated by it to really pursue learning how to use film cameras - so I finally caved and bought a Fujifilm Instax Mini figuring it would be a good way to start experimenting! And I am absolutely in love - all of my pictures are digital, and being able to hold physical copies of your photos without printing them is such a luxury! There is a bit of a learning curve (I'm so spoiled with digital - taking a billion pictures at once until it's perfect hehe), but overall really easy to use! I can't wait to take more and hopefully get better *__*



July Fourth makeup! // Current uniform: f21 blouse, American Apparel tennis skirt, Modcloth purse & ASOS bag // Manicure of choice this summer: watermelons to match my shorts! // Being a busy bee and wearing these darling Hello Holiday glasses!

I have a bunch of exciting things up my sleeve - watch this space!

How's your summer so far? Have anything fun planned? <3
