Outfit: Leopard and Emerald

by - 11:31

I was going to go out today (Sunday, at the time of writing) but it's currently raining cats and dogs so I don't know if I will make it out after all. So far I have been doing some internet shopping (or rather, internet window shopping since I haven't actually bought anything) and debating having my hair cut short. It's pinned up here but I quite like the look of it.

Dress - Collectif | Shoes - Dorothy Perkins | Skull cap - Etsy
Jewellery - various

Don't mind me looking a bit cross-eyed, it just turned out that way. I am going to blame it on being tired from working hard recently!

I am away again this week at the LBA and then off again somewhere else after that so posting may be a bit sporadic (like it's ever very consistent...) but I will do my best not to abandon my blog completely!

      Thank you! I have quite a few things from there, they have such lovely designs.

      The fireplace is wonderful in winter, really cosy.

    Love your blog. Your hair looks adorable pinned up. Do you have any tips for perfecting the faux bob?

      I just make sure I have plenty of spare bobby pins so I can fix it if any bits come loose! I like to use two crossed bobby pins to fix each piece of hair in place and then give it a really good spray with a strong hairspray.

    So terrifically, timelessly pretty! There's something wildly appealing about the mix of pine green and leopard print to me. I must start planning an outfit with that comob myself for when the cooler weather returns here once more.

      I do love that combination... It's is the only outfit I own which rally includes it but I really must find some more things as it just seems to work so well!

      Thanks! I only wish it was autumn here too, sadly we've been having some pretty unseasonable weather even though its supposed to be the middle of summer!

    Really pretty dress and your hair looks awesome. I love Collectif dresses, I got the red regina dress and black regina doll in bengaline and they're my favourite clothes. It's sad I fall between sizes so I'm better off with very elastic fabrics, I already got one skirt that's too tiny for my waist, but I'll take it to seamstress since it's too pretty not to fix :)
