It's my birthday tomorrow weeeee!  I'm weirdly excited but not at the same time - I always build up my birthday to be amazing only to get disappointed because I set my expectations too high.  I was just asked what I was doing on wednesday by my mum - got my hopes up because I thought she was organising a birthday meal only to have her ask me if I wanted to be booked in for the flu jab she's having, ah.  I'm seeing Alex so I'm sure it'll be nice, it just sucks that all my friends work full time or have gone to uni!

Anyway enough complaining - lets move onto the outfit!  Yet again I have nabbed an item from my mothers wardrobe (no way could I afford my own Lulu!) and I think it brings the outfit together really nicely as it's quite basic if you take away the print.  I can imagine Twiggy wearing a dress like this back in the 60s, it's such an awesome print and is so on trend at the moment as everyone's going crazy over monochrome.  Oh and how could I forget the shoes?  These babies are from Shellys London who have just launched a huge new collection and I think they have taken over as my favourite shoe brand!  I love the shape of these so much and they're so easy to walk in!

THAT LITTLE KISS YOU STOLE

Yes I'm wearing the same shoes twice in a row, no I'm not sorry.  I was so unsure about keeping them at first but now I absolutely adore them! I thought the dress looked a little plain on it's own so donned my patterned tights and overall love the look.  However I am pretty tall at nearly 5'11" so the dress is a bit too short for me (a problem I get all the time!) so I'm selling it on my blog shop here, hope you like the look!

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!

STICKS & STONES WON'T EVEN BREAK ME

Just a quick post before I get ready for work!  I love this P&Co printed tee, it's so soft and the colour print makes it perfect for summer!  They're actually having a sale on at the moment where all tees are £14 which is a great deal.  They're also running a pop-up shop on Kings Road in London for 4 weeks so if you're local I'd definitely recommend checking it out.  I wanted to go for a more casual look so paired it with some ombre lips, summery shorts and old greenflash trainers that I used to wear for PE when I was at school, nice to be out of heels in outfit photos for a change!
