The Daisybank Dress

Bloggers are funny creatures, we stop and photograph our food before we eat it, carry a camera around at all times and develop our own way of posing for outfit pictures. But what makes me laugh is that these kind of things seem to trend..remember when it was all about the head tilt, feet pointed inwards? (okay, I’m going back a few years now!) And while I’m still an advocate for the head tilt, it’s the “pretend you’re walking somewhere” that seems to have popularised recently. Bloggers striding across pavements with supposed intent. We’re all guilty of some cliché – guess where I went to eat after these pictures were taken?…Laduree for Macarons of course ; )

Anyway, enough making fun of myself. Let’s talk about the dress. My new favourite dress. If you’ve got a sharp eye, you may recognise it from the Aubin & Wills almanac that has been doing the rounds online. In the perfect orange, with the comfiest shape, the only downside to this pretty thing is that it creases easily, and I’ve hardly taken it off since I got it!

And thank goodness for the glorious weather we had at the weekend, it allowed me to show it off without a coat on top. As soon as the sun shows it’s face I have a smile on mine – I was struggling not to break in to a skip whilst going about my business…or “pretending to walk somewhere”!

Thank you Lucy for helping take my pictures! x

Comfy?

I’m back outside the Liberty Florists again! I knew I’d have outfit shots here before long, Lucy and I were wandering past…the light was going and we were inspired to take a few snaps.

My outfit looks super comfortable, right? You’d think so, it’s the cosy jumper that gives that impression (and cosy it is!), but it was the bottom half that let me down. I found these Opening Ceremony shoes on eBay for a bargainous price after admiring Sandra’s styling of them over the past year or so. And it seems I subliminally dressed with her as my inspiration too! What Sandra hadn’t mentioned is how uncomfortable they are! It’s a sad thing to find out a pair of shoes you’ve been lusting after are practically unwearable…after walking to the end of Oxford Street, my saviour Lucy offered to swap shoes. This gave my outfit an altogether different look, as I found myself in platform Converse-style trainers that were a size too big!

For the millionth time, I learnt my lesson; don’t wear heels! It’s never worth it! Next time I put these laced-up beauties on my feet, I’ll make sure it’s for sitting down and not wandering the streets of London. But then I also said I’d never drink again after it made me sick the first time around…oops.

Any tips for training your feet in to wearing heels, ladies?! x
