ETSY FAVOURITES

LET THEM STARE

Dress* // Let Them Stare
Shoes // Carvela (mums)

Clutch* // Marc b
Necklace // Etsy (one off)
Bracelet // Thomas Sabo
Rings // Market, Mums, market, Thriftette*, Rachael Sudlow
Nail polish* // Northern Sky Nails

This is definitely one of the most flattering dresses I've worn in a while - I think the cut is so lovely and gives the illusion of a smaller waist where the pattern on the fabric slants..if you get what I mean.  What makes it even more amazing is that it was totally handmade by the lovely Anastasia, and she is mega talented because there is not one flaw in the design - I could never make a dress of this quality even if I tried!  I love the sheer back, and I find it's better for my body shape, as it's a well known fact that if you're 'breastically challenged' you can make up for it by showing off your back!  Moving on - I think these accessories were literally made for this dress - the dull nude shoes go perfectly with the hints of brown in the dress, and the Marc b bag matches almost spot on with the blue, it's also a lovely summer colour and can be used as a clutch or a purse!  For the purpose of these photos I actually stuffed it with some fluffy socks - little 'behind the scenes' fact for you there haha.  Hope you like the outfit!

PLAY CRACK THE SKY

Hat // Topshop
Jacket* // Boohoo
Tee* // P&Co
Shorts // DIY
Shoes // Deena & Ozzy
Earring // Etsy
Bracelet // Thomas Sabo
Necklace // Tiffany
Rings // Rachael Sudlow, Thriftette*, Native Feathers*, Lumafina, market, market

Okay so I may or may not be totally obsessed with this pork pie hat.  I actually bought it for my friend for her birthday but borrowed it and now do not want to ever give it back (sorry Polly).  I went for a 'wild west' look, however replacing a cowboy hat with a more..socially acceptable shape and disregarding dusty browns for mostly monochrome then to finish; a slick of red lipstick.  I adore the minimalistic print on this P&Co tee and find it so easy to wear with anything - and after seeing Leanne style this fringe jacket makes me want to wear mine with every outfit.  Apologies if this post doesn't make a lot of sense - I'm trying to type while watching my boyfriend play 'The Last Of Us' and it's such a scary game!

LIQUOR & LOVE LOST

Hat // Mums
Top // ASOS
Skirt* // BangGood
Shoes* // Choies
Earrings // Topshop
Necklace // Etsy (one off)
Bracelet* // OASAP
Rings // H&M, Brandy Melville, Galibardy

I actually got this skirt a while back but have been so busy photographing other clothes that I never got round to featuring it!  I received this top in the post yesterday in my ASOS order and I love how it looks but the quality isn't great, plus it's really annoying because it always rides up!  I think I might return it and buy one from Motel Rocks as they look better quality!  I do love this skirt too but it is a little on the short side, oh the problems of being tall.  However it's a great item for under £10!

THE RECKLESS & THE BRAVE

Dress* // BANK
Earrings // Topshop
Hand chain* // BANK
Necklace // Etsy (one off listing)
Bag* // Paul's Boutique
Sandals // River Island (old)

Apparently every time I do an outfit post I'm feeling quite summery.  I'm cutting down on the heels and busting out all the sandals I've forgotten about!  I know what you're thinking - Paul's Boutique..really?  Honestly I used to be the most anti-PB person you could find, so you can imagine what was running through my head when I received an email from them.  However; they've scrapped their old image and have brought out a whole new range of bags with a much more luxe and fashion-forward image, while still keeping the fun personality of the old designs, such as the removable keyring on this one which I think is actually pretty awesome, and would look cute dangling off a neutral clutch for a night out!  The holographic stripe is so unique and love how the colours of the dress pick out the different tones.  Because of the size it also means I can fit my laptop in it which, as a blogger, is so useful.
Anyway I've babbled on for far too long!  I hope you all like the outfit!  Going off on another tangent, the lovely Christina who runs a decoden phone case shop on Etsy called 'God it Feels So Good' has recently made me a custom iphone case and posted a video of herself making it which you can see here.  I just love it so much and can't wait to receive it, as I've wanted a decoden case for so long but haven't been able to justify paying nearly £30 which is what the majority of sellers charge.  However, Christina only charges a humble £10 for most cases, and is always adding new designs so check out her shop here!
