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!

I think this is as close to 'sports luxe' as I'll get!  I love the style and follow a ton of bloggers that do it perfectly, however I appear to be kind of incapable, and I'm not really a trainers person - which is one of the main elements in the whole sporty thing.  Anyway, I don't usually like elasticated shorts but these are so comfy and perfect for a casual summer day when denim shorts are a little too much, and the print on them is so rad!  It's a kind of grungy, textured tie dye effect so thought they'd go great with a top I picked up when I went to Manchester for a couple of days earlier this year.  Unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember what the shop I got it from was called as it was just a random discount shop, but there are loads of them around.  I'm a huge UNIF fan and some of their popular designs feature skeleton hands, so this was the perfect addition to my wardrobe, especially at just £5!
