Galaxy Print

Hey everyone...

So I have been saving for this dress for a while now. Ever since I saw it on UO I knew that I couldn't live without it in my wardrobe. This is actually the first piece of galaxy print I own. I know shocker, especially considering galaxy print has been a big hit for so long now.

I was a little apprehensive about the length because being tall all dresses at the moment seem to be a bit on the short side. But it turned out ok although I do think most of the time I will be wearing leggings, especially if I need to do any bending!

I decided to pair this dress with my Dad's (a.k.a now mine) bowler hat and distressed working boots. I am such a MASSIVE fan of bowler hats at the moment, if I could I would own one in every colour imaginable. Also my Mum found this really cute gold vintage necklace in one of our many junk boxes, she decided to save it from one of the many charity shops our things go to and as it turned out it came in very handy, I thought it worked perfectly with all the colours of the dress.

Dress - UO
Hat - Dads
Boots - River Island

I especially love the back of the dress, it kind of reminds me of ballerina dresses.

Necklace - Vintage

Middle ring - Topshop
Thumb ring - small shop in Italy

So what do you guys think to galaxy print?

A few Italy snaps

Hello again everyone...

So I finally got around to downloading some of my holiday snaps and I thought I would share one of my favourite outfits with you, as well as showing you the beautiful Umbrian landscape.

I took these pictures in the last part of sunshine before a massive 4 day storm broke out. I had actually spent the best part of the day reading '50 shades of Grey' ( I know sadly I have fallen for the Mr Grey trap) in the sun and forgot to put on any sun cream, so I apologise for the slight reddish tint that my skin has, it turns out that I actually burnt myself quite badly and later on that day I ended up looking more like a lobster than a tanned goddess. Let's just say a lot of after sun was needed!

This dress was a fairly old purchase from urban outfitters and I have to say it has been one of the best purchases I have ever made. I have worn in with tights, on nights out and as you can see on holiday. I paired it with a brown studded belt and some plain gold sandals. A lot of the time I believe that keeping it simple is always best.

I purchased this ring from an Italian market in the nearby town of Cortona, one of the things I love about Italy are the markets as they have some of the best and cheapest jewellery I have ever found. This was no exception at 15 euros for pure Indian silver.

What would be your holiday staple outfit?

Indiana Jones in the making...

So a couple of days a go I stumbled across my dads massive hat collection that I never even knew existed. There were so many different kinds including the Indiana Jones lookalike pictured below and a very funky looking bowler hat which I think I will also be borrowing for a while.

I based my look around the hat and came up with what I feel is a laid back country girl type of outfit. I paired my new urban outfitter shorts with this baggy knitted top that was a recent purchase from Italy, I then accessorized with my multi-layered cross necklace and hey presto you have a perfect slouchy weekend outfit.

What do you guys think...?

Hat - borrowed/stolen from Dad
Knitted top - from Italy
Black vest - Topshop
Shorts - UO
Boots - River Island
Necklace - River Island

So now I am suited and booted I feel ready to start my next quest and become the next Indiana Jones :)
