Spring in your step


If i'm honest I spend most of my time looking at pretty dresses and wishing I had enough money to splash out on them all. Alas I do not

This knitted striped midi dress will hopefully be mine very soon. Well as soon as enough people buy my junk off ebay. It really is perfect for when it gets a little warmer and we can start venturing out with bare legs. Hopefully that's not too far in the distant future. I'd wear it with white TOMS (i've yet to invest) and my straw vintage bag. It's currently in the sale so what other excuse do I need to buy it?


This other asos beauty need to get on my body as soon as possible too. Look at the beautiful cut out waist?! But it doesn't come with a beautiful price oh no. It's a purse hurting £50. Still I may treat myself with next months wages as it would be ideal for my holiday (something I again need to invest in... see a theme?)

This floral Matalan midi dress would be absolutely perfect for work. Its just the right length and dressy enough for a day working in the city. It also comes in three other colours and for just £18 I admit I am tempted to buy them all.

This grey topshop dress isn't the most exciting dress but it's one that I can imagine i'll wear time and time again. It will look just as nice layered up for the winter months as it will in the summer with sandals and bare legs. Hopefully this will be in my hands next week when I hit Westfield to celebrate the joy that is payday. Just a shame I have to show some restraint and save most of my wages. Boo!

Finally Lavish Alice is a company that seems to be doing the rounds around blogs and they've caught my eye. Especially this fantastic flamingo print dress. To me it just screams vintage which is of course right up my street. At only £22 I think it's a complete bargain!

  1. I love the stripy dress and have been lusting over the grey Topshop one for a while now, but I can't justify spending £30 or so pounds on a thin piece of material. I would wear it again and again though, as you mention so...hmm. Am tempted now! xx
