Broderie and blue...

It's been a while since I have worn this Whistles broderie anglaise dress on the blog but I actually wear it fairly often 'offline'. It's funny which outfits actually make it into photos and online. I guess if you are having fun, taking a picture of yourself is the last thing on your mind! This dress is easy to jazz up (just add heels and a snazzy blazer) but I actually prefer the dressed down look - I can't be dealing with dresses where I have to wear heels all the time! I actually think this outfit would be perfect for a summer wedding, if it wasn't white... maybe a summer party instead?! I have been utterly in love with Whistles recently, keep an eye out for some more of my sale bargains appearing soon (including a very special birthday dress...)

Dress: Whistles, shoes: Betty London c/o Spartoo, watch: c/o Joshua James Jewellery
I have been loving peachy make-up recently (nothing new there!) and the Laura Mercier Foundation Primer I got in my Glamour Beauty Box is my new favourite. It makes my skin feel velvety smooth and my make-up stays looking flawless - it's true love! ♥ I have also managed to master a hair routine that takes no time at all too, which is ace. Anything that gives me more sleep is a winner in my book! I recently renewed my Glamour subscription and my free gift was this Alterna Caviar CC Cream. I must admit that I was dubious when it arrived but I have been using a 20p sized blob on my hair before I towel dry it and have been pleasantly surprised by the results: frizz free waves with minimal effort. Hopefully I won't have to repurchase either of these products any time soon though, they are not cheap! 


I usually wear this dress with some fun coloured shoes (my pink flats and yellow sandals look particularly ace) so these blue flats were ideal. I just need to get some similar pairs in every other colour under the rainbow, they are just so darned comfy!

ISn't it funny, I do this as well. I'll end up with no photos at all of an outfit I wore on a day out or something because it will never occur to me to take any photos.

Such a pretty dress. I really like wearing white dress - even if I am a messy eater, haha.
Really love how you added some colourful shoes too.

Love this dress! I have wanted a white dress for the last two summers and still haven't got round to buying one - guess it's one for spring 2015 now! x
