I've been after the bird print tea dress that came out in H&M a couple of years ago for absolutely ages now. At the time I believe it retailed for £29.99 which I'm too cheap to fork out for so decided to wait until it went into the sale or at least on eBay. Well that didn't happen because that person from Glee wore it and BOOM everyone wanted my dress :( I've been periodically stalking it on eBay but it's always gone for ridiculous prices or been in the wrong size. Well finally it's mine. Nabbed for £6 something including P&P and it's sooo pretty!

Not the most flattering of angles (thanks boyfriend) but it shows the dress in it's beautiful glory. Also do note the safety pin, despite the nice fit, it has button fastenings all the way down the front which means that there was a little gap. Not brilliant when with your boyfriend's family but I'd forgotten to bring a camisole top with me and so I had to basically make do and mend :p
It has the mostly lovely puffed sleeves and I like the shape of the hem, not that you can see it here, but it kind of dips and curls. I felt that as the dress is such a statement piece it didn't need to be outdone with any accessories, so I didn't. Though if I was going out on a night I'd probably wear a cute necklace too. It's also a lovely length to go without tights.

It's All In The Details

I've been feeling a little bit experimental recently. Usually my style consists of wearing some form of dress, most notably of the patterned tea dress variety, with black tights and a long cardigan. I love the comfort and ease of this, but lately I've been adding a little more colour.

Tights: Primark, Dress: Primark, Cardigan: Primark, Leather jacket: Bershka, Brooch: Gift I love this gem of a dress. It was only £7 and is of a lovely lightweight fabric which will be perfect for summer days. Akin to this, it is slightly longer at the back, shorter at the front but being the perfect length to parade my milk bottle legs. I've had the cardigan for ages and ages just sitting in my wardrobe feeling somewhat unloved. I have no idea why it isn't a staple. For one, it actually fits nicely and secondly how gorgeous are the details?! Beautiful little gold rose buttons atop a bias binded edging to give more structure and support. It's so soft and very well made. It is however too cold to get the legs out and I'm not sure the world is ready to be blinded by my paleness just yet so I added my marl grey tights. Lovely.

On The First Day Of Spring...

...I decided to do an outfit post! I needed to leave the house anyway to pick up a prescription so thought it would be the perfect opportunity to do one.

The first day of spring was also the day I decided to go out the house without a coat feeling mildly comfortable though since having drafted this post, the weather has obviously decided to turn yet again and the feelings of true spring won't be happening for ages yet! Boo!
But yesterday was a good day.... I made my first Etsy sale to a stranger :D absolutely over the moon! It's given me the kick up the arse that I needed to create some more goodies. So I've even completed the cover that I used as a DIY in my post from last week, which you can now see over in my Etsy shop.

I hope she likes it!

Happy days :)

Birds On a Line

Thought I'd take some pictures of my new Yumi dress that the boyfriend got me for Christmas. Sadly, I only had about 5 minutes to take photos before I had to leave the house so my face looks stupid in a lot of them so enjoy an out take and a headless shot. Oh I treat you well don't I? XD
