Bring on Bali

Thought that I would just touch base to let you know about the incredibly exciting holiday that I am going on...tomorrow! I know! I am literally so excited that I might burst. And the reason I haven't mentioned anything until now is because it is actually a surprise for Jack (my boyfriend)'s dad 50th birthday. And up until now I have been so worried that me and my big mouth/forgetful brain would completely give the game away!

I can't wait to explore the island, swim in the ocean, feel the sun on my skin and chill with a good book. And hopefully see some elephants, my favourite animal ever (minus our dog Kiara!). I'm really against riding them as I think it's cruel, but I can't wait to be able to watch them play, especially if there are some little baby elephants!! So I'm going to spend the rest of this bank holiday evening planning some places that I would love to visit while we are out there. And maybe downloading a new series on Netflix to get me through the 18 hour flight!

 So expect to see me looking like one of the bohemian, tanned goddesses above sometime in the not so distant future! Well...a girl can dream!

Pretty In Paisley

My wardrobe is pretty full and to be perfectly honest I do not need new clothes...ever! But as a fashion student and someone who spends hours reading magazines and scrolling through Pinterest never shopping again isn't really an option! So my new rule is to only buy things that I absolutely love, and that bring my joy (within reason of course). So I wanted to share the latest edition to my wardrobe that I am totally obsessed with. So much so that it only arrived today I have already taken a load of photos to upload to Instagram and write a blogpost!

This dress is just everything. It's feminine and beautifully intricate but it's so unique and different to anything I have seen before. The colours are stunning, and that's saying something as I am not usually one to wear much colour. And it totally nails the oriental and brocade trend with the paisley print and mandarin style collar.

I love the fit and the shape and I can't wait to style this with little flat sandals and a cross body bag for daytime, and some strappy heels for the evening.

The dress is from a brand called Comino Couture which I recently found on ASOS. They sell some really beautiful occasion dresses, I'm also in love with the halter neck navy style.

The great thing about ASOS is finding unique little brands that you wouldn't have come across otherwise. I now have a list of brands that I love from ASOS which I check after having a look at New In! I think I might do a post on how I shop and navigate the ASOS website soon too. But for now I'm just going to be staring at my beautiful new dress!

Happy Sunday, and speak soon xx
