color mix



dress (worn as top)  vintage
skirt  vintage
shoes  anthropologie

I found this blue lace dress and red skirt on the same day, and it seemed to me that they were meant to be worn together. I love getting dolled up every day for no particular reason. All I did in this outfit was go to work and then have dinner at Delfina Pizzeria, but it made an ordinary day that much more fun. Those red heels are swiftly approaching their final days but I adore them so much, I hardly care anymore that they are scuffed and nicked beyond repair. Let's just pretend that this gives them a certain well-loved character!

Don't you just love that Beatrice works her way into as many shots as possible? If only dogs could blog...

Gorgeous outfit, as always. You know what I love about your photos? Yes, you wear beautiful, individual things, and you are very pretty, and the photos are really well taken... but what I love is that you are always smiling, and seem to be having such a good time. It makes me happy when people have fun with their clothes, rather than thinking it is all about pouting and posing like sour old models. Give Beatrice a cuddle for me (I am sadly petless in London) x

I really love how you mixed bold colors and fun patterns in this outfit. It can sometimes be a delicate line to tread but I adore this outfit!!

And those shoes are fabulous. It's definitely going to be tragic when they reach their final day. Until then milk it all you got!

I am in LOVE with these pictures, especially the ones with you on the stairs-the blue door and the red in the concrete match your outfit perfectly! Love your little doggy too :)

I love dressing up every day too! I dress up every day and when people see me, they're like what's the occasion? Do I need an occasion? Seriously? You are so bold, but so elegant at the same time. I truly admire your style and I'm so glad I found you via chictopia! Where were these photos taken? It looks like Twin Peaks?
