Outfit : Tie Dye Dress

So apparently the 90's called....and, uh, they want their look back.

I wasn't consciously aiming for that look, but I guess that's what happens when you wear tie dye and shirts. I wore this for an evening at the pub a few weeks ago when it was actually still summer! I Paired a tie dye maxi dress with a floral shirt, (which I tied at the waist and tucked in to make it cropped), and popped on some wooden beads over the top. 

This evening was also the evening I realised my hair was just about long enough to actually play with! So after lots of pulling and prodding I managed to tease it into a relaxed side plait. 

Dress: Charity Shop
Shirt: River Island
Beads: River Island
Satchel: Vintage

Are you a fan of the tie dye look?

Ana Cabaleiro

Discovered Ana Cabaleiro, a fantastically talented photographer from Spain, over at Daydream Lily. Ana has a real knack of catching moments, I love her dreamy, nature inspired shots. 

Take a look at her website for more info and images, here are a few of my favourites...

She also has a zine called 'We Walk the Young Earth'

 have added it to my wish-list already! Here's what it looks like......

Do you have any favourite photographers or photography blogs? I love discovering artists :)

Simply Breakfast

Hands up who skips the so-called most important meal of the day in favour of coffee and a cigarette? I never used to eat breakfast, I felt nauseous at the thought of it and got by on juice, before gorging on a big, (and usually fattening), lunch. But as I've gotten older I have become more and more reliant on breakfast, I simply cannot function without it anymore. I tend to go through phases of favourite breakfast foods, at the moment I'm loving Special K Strawberry Clusters or occasionally greek yoghurt with banana and honey. The best breakfast I've had in a while, however, was scrambled egg and chorizo on a toasted muffin at Giraffe, (I also highly recommend their blueberry pancakes). 

I think it's safe to say I've become somewhat of a breakfast enthusiast, so imagine my delight when I stumbled on Simply Breakfast- a blog that documents Jennifer Causey's morning meals with beautiful photography. It is food porn for the early risers. 

Take a look and get ready to kiss that coffee and cigarette routine goodbye... 

What did you have for breakfast today?

Outfit : Orange Shirt

I remember when I first became attracted to the sheer shirt look, it was right about the time they started popping up on every fashion blog I read. What can I say, occasionally I fall in line behind every other fashion sheep! So I was pleased when I spotted a few styles in my local Primark in various colours a couple of weeks later. I ended up going for the orange version as it's become one of my favourite colours to filter in between my otherwise neutral based wardrobe.

A couple of weeks ago I had a meeting planned with a local fashion photography studio and decided to don my orange shirt. I wore it over a black vest and teamed it with khaki trousers, black brogues and a long necklace....

Shirt: Primark
Vest: Topshop
Trousers: New Look
Brogues: Charity Shop
Necklace: Topshop

With rolled up sleeves and hair in a top-knot I was hoping to give a professional yet relaxed look.

What are your feelings towards the sheer shirt? Is it dying of over-exposure in blog land?

Necklace Storage

Remember a while ago in my post 'One woman's trash...' I was trying to figure out ways of storing my many necklaces? Well, after checking out some blogs I found inspiration! I wish I could remember who's blog it was on, (do give me a shout if it was you), but I saw someone had attached some plastic adhesive hooks onto the inside of her wardrobe doors to hang her necklaces on! Genius! Originally I had planned to get myself a cork board and use pins, but after looking at the sheer weight and volume of my collection, I realised this may not work quite so well. So instead I promptly went out and got myself a load of adhesive hooks and started to sort out my mammoth necklace collection on the inside of my wardrobe. 

It has made accessorising so much easier and has even revealed some previously forgotten, (or tangled!), pieces.

This is how it looks...

Now both doors are covered with my longest chains while my shorter ones remain on my stands.

Today I also gave my wardrobe a bit of a clear out and organise, so things are looking pretty neat in there right now. Does anyone else store their necklaces like this?

(p.s I got my hooks from Robert Dyas but apparently you can also get them in poundland!)

Objects d'love

I've found myself with a bit more spare time than usual lately, (thanks to one of my freelance jobs falling through), which means more time to trawl the internet for pretty things! Of course the downside is having a smaller paycheque to pay for those aforementioned pretty things with....but, hey, sometimes looking is half the fun.

Here are a few objects I'm loving this week...

I came across this chalkboard through another blog, isn't it genius? I love the idea of scribbling travel plans on this. This was found here.

This BEAUTIFUL compass necklace, found here.

Cute memory notebook, for noting down particularly lovely moments. Found here.

I would like this hanging over my bed please :) Found here.

LOVE. Found here.

What are you coveting this week?

Also wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for your sweet comments on my blog's birthday post and my latest outfit post, really made me smile :)
