Love for One Shoulder Dresses & Stripes

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Zara had me at one shoulder and stripes, this dress is just the most perfect throw on dress. Whether you are going for a night out, or whether it is just a day of shopping. It can be dressed up or dressed down, which for me is the sign of a perfect dress. I always struggle with buying pieces that are too dressy, that I know I can’t adapt for daytime. I always try to adopt the 3 ways rule, which is where you only buy something if you can think about wearing it three different ways.

Of course I am going to tell you my three ways!! The first one is of course as above, styled for a night out with heels, my Gucci belt and clutch, the perfect effortless night time look for me. The second way in the day with material tie belt that the dress came with and either my Givenchy or furry black slides and a satchel bag, total different look, same dress!

Final look would be the dress layered over the top of a long sleeved fitted red top, I guess this needs to be seen to be believed! Don’t you worry I will be adding this to my Instagram soon, plus I copied this idea from a gorgeous blogger I have been following for years so I know it looks good….lol.

Pink Denim Pinafores and White Ruffles

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I genuinely think this pink pinafore is one of my most favourite recent purchases, if not of all time! This maybe due to my very obvious pink obsession that I seem to have at the minute. Honestly though, pink denim, in the form of a pinafore!!! Urban Outfitters have pulled this out of the bag for me! I have this in a size small and it’s perfect, can’t wait to wear it more casual; with a white tee and trainers.

I wore this pinafore in Italy with my white ruffle blouse Zara. I have this in a size small, I found the sizing quite weird in this, it’s fine when you have it on, but it’s not easy getting it on at all, I’ve nearly ripped it on a few occasions! However I cannot tell you how much I have worn this blouse, It especially looks great under pinafores or dungarees. Ironing this is not fun though. Nope not fun at all….Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Finally my Topshop silver sandals, unfortunately they are now sold out as I bought them in the sale just after Christmas, at a mere £15! I’ve actually not worn them until now, but they seem to be firmly on my feet at the minute. They are also crazy comfortable which is perfect for a heel.

A Romantic Dress for a Romantic Place

I have been waiting for what seems like months to wear this dress in the sunshine. Going to Italy on holiday meant that I could finally do this! Granted I could wear it with tights but I think it really wouldn’t have the same look and feel if I did that, so the wait was real! Dresses with ruffles…I know you know what I mean (lol), I literally cannot get enough.

This ruffle wrap around version is from Topshop, and is perfect for layering. Italy in March is beautiful, but it can be a little chilly in the morning and evening, so a sweater is definitely needed to keep out the cold. This version is from Zara and was an absolute bargain at £12.99, it often surprises me how much I have worn this staple little piece, but I now can’t imagine not having it as a go to item.

As blogged about in my last post we have the Givenchy slides, the most perfect slides in my opinion, I am pretty much obsessed with them! Lastly this cute little Kendall & Kylie backpack, it is the perfect side to fit in all of your essentials without it being too big or cumbersome.

Coloured Denim and Gingham in Florence Italy

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Soooooo excited to start sharing my pictures that were taken on my most recent trip to Tuscany, Italy. We stayed in a town called Lucca, which is unbelievably beautiful, and seemingly undiscovered by too many tourists. Every street is beautiful, with a restaurant or boutique on every corner. Lucca is conveniently located between the Italian cities of Pisa and Florence, these pictures are taken during a beautiful day in Florence. We walked up to the top of the Boboli gardens when the view over Florence is seriously stunning.

I wore this gingham dress from Boohoo via ASOS, and it was perfect for a warm day in Italy. The quality of the dress is not the best I have even seen, but to say it only cost me £15 I think it is a bargain nonetheless. I wore it with this yellow cropped denim jacket from Topshop, it is actually part of a co-ord, a denim skirt is also available (of course I have this too..lol). Its great to throw over an outfit when the mornings and nights are colder.

What outfit is complete without the shoes and bag? These slides are my pride and joy (sad I know). I have seen these Givenchy slides online for the last couple of years, and this year I thought it was time to take the plunge. Although they were pricey I know that I will be wearing them for years to come, plus they are crazy comfortable!

Red Dresses and Spring Sunshine

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Finally we have some sun here in the UK, and of course that means the legs actually get an airing! I am so crazy into layering at the minute, and as its not quite warm enough to wear the dress by itself, it means I get to bring this lovely winter staple into the spring season. I have blogged about this H&M jumper before and its a real beaut, I love the crazy long sleeves and how it keeps you so toasty warm!

Where do we start with this little red floral beauty from Topshop, I actually bought this way back before Christmas (luckily it is still in stock now, link down below) and worried about how summery it was, but I have literally worn it so much. This dress is going to be a spring/summer staple that I am sure of, and can’t wait to wear it with sandals when the weather gets warmer.

Finally my Public Desire sock boots are a very recent purchase and I am soooooo crazy happy with them. I love how they fit higher up the leg than most sock boots, almost mid calf, and are a kind of stretchy scuba material. If you haven’t checked out Public Desire before you really should, they offer really affordable shoes that are great quality.

My Obsession with Pinafores

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I have THE biggest obsession with dungarees and pinafores, enough to put how much I love dungarees in my Instagram bio (@gracesurguy – for further reference)…lol. I love the preppy look of a good pinafore and this beaut from H&M is so me. I love the big ruffle over the shoulder straps and the elasticated ruffle detail around the waist. I have this in a size 8 and it fits perfectly, the waist is quite stretchy which is mega comfy.

With summer around the corner I will be wearing this pinafore a lot, but I really do think it looks best with a plain white tee. This one is from COS and it is the perfect white t-shirt. If you have never been, COS do the best wardrobe staples, and the the fit is always great.

I know I’ve blogged these giant boots before, but if you want some height adding to you, then these are the Topshop bad boys that you need in your life, they are ginormous! They honestly do make your legs look amazing, and I love wearing them.

Star Print Dress and Not Looking Cold

fullsizerender-2

It’s still not warm here in the UK….and I am not built for this weather, I need warmth and lots of it! Lucky I am going away to Italy with my boyfriend and his family in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait to feel a little warmth on my skin, instead of pretty much icicles hanging off my nose (I get a really cold nose in the winter, kind of dog like). In the meantime I’m going to wear this love dress from Daisy Street with bare legs, and freeze my ass off!

fullsizerender-1

In all seriousness I love star prints at the minute on literally anything, especially dresses. This beaut was a mere steal at £25 from the brand Daisy Street, which I bought from ASOS. This is actually from the tall range however I am only 5 foot 6 inches and I think it is the perfect length on me. I also love anything with ruffles (a huge trend for spring/summer) so you are going to see way more of that on my blog.

Lastly my giant Topshop platform boots, I’m not going to make out that I wear them on a daily basis, I really don’t, because they are really tall and really high! But they make your legs look great, so well worth feeling like you are walking on stilts…lol. Let’s also not forget Ralph, he’s here for the picture too of course, because he’s possibly the coolest dog on the planet.
