Animal Print A-line

I'll admit to you, I've worn this outfit twice now. Something about it makes me feel very Roman Holiday-esque. It's simple, pretty, & perfect for an evening meal out. The skirt is one of my treasured vintage pieces (you've seen it paired with stripes here), & the vintage bag I've been favouring quite a lot recently. The bold animal print works well with heather grey & I like the added element of lace cap sleeves. Classic Ray Ban wayfarer; Michael Kors ballet flats for comfort, et voila! 


Also - you can expect some changes to the blog over the next couple of weeks. I'm finally getting around to some long-overdue design tweaking, as well as creating a Facebook page for the blog. I'll be sure to share more info when it all happens :)

Playing With Print

Print blocking has been on my mind quite a bit lately (largely due to Miss Pandora & Man Repeller) & so today I decided to play with it a little. This vintage Mr. Jax animal print midi skirt was given to me by my Aunt about 8 years ago & I love it to pieces. I paired it with my striped Topshop tee which has a large bow detail on the shoulder, allowing for simplicity in other accessories (just left it at some rosette stud earrings & my Michael Kors ballet flats really).  When heading out to run some errands I just popped on my new black faux fur jacket (sadly not pictured here), for some added texture & warmth. Simple but fun; definitely something I'm going to play around with more... next time incorporating some more layering. What do you lovelies think? Yay or nay to the print blocking?

I'm headed out for the night, to attend a 'farewell party' for one of my friends. Hope you all have a lovely weekend! <3
