Summer days

Dress: GetTheLabel*// Shoes: Charity shop// Necklace: Car boot// Bag: Primark// Sunglasses: Lacoste

So hello again, it's been two, long, stressful weeks where, among other things, I've been working non-stop and my computer decided that, after all the long hours it put in over revision, that it didn't want to play ball. Thinking all was lost, I was ready to pop it into my local PC World, but after a couple of days' rest, it started up as normal. 

Finally, I'm back to blogging and yes, I STILL have some GetTheLabel goodies to share with you, including this gorgeous pastel-coloured dress by Glamorous. I love the backless sections of this dress, giving a more modern twist to a pretty classic piece. The light chiffony material is perfect for lunch in this hot weather and it's so easy to dress up and down - I have to confess, I've worn it a couple of times before this post was published, once on a night out with some UO heels and an envelope clutch. 

Here, I've styled the dress up with these raised-sole shoes which I got from the charity shop for £2 (bargain!) they're really comfy and are a similar style to SuperGa pumps (my favourite shoes!).  The bag was a bargain from Primark, although it looks like I picked it up from a vintage store. Wicker is great for summer and I never miss an opportunity to whap out one of my many wicker bags the minute there's any sun! 

With my yellowish complexion, a tan would make this look a whole lot better, so I'll be saving it until I'm on my hols/ have time to pop some fake tan on! 

Hope you've all been enjoying the beautiful weather! 

Refined psychedelia

Dress: Rare (GetTheLabel)*// Shoes: New Look// Bag: h&m// Fur Stole: Accessorize

Exams are over! I am so relieved that they're all done and dusted, but so sad that second year is coming to an end. I've been living in my student house since October and it honestly feels like ten minutes. After this year I can truly understand why people look back on student life wistfully, I don't think I ever want to leave! 

Anyhoo, as I mentioned in my last post, I was invited along to the Get The Label blogger party last month, the event was such a success and, as well as meeting some lovely new bloggers, Get The Label offered to send me a few of their new season pieces to review. I was immediately drawn to this gorgeous lace shift dress from Rare. I've been dying to find the perfect little black dress for summer - all of my current ones are body con and too hot for a night out in June! The dress is such good quality and comes with a brown belt which you can pop on for a look more suitable to daytime. 

I thought for a treat I'd get dressed up and paired it with my lovely 60's wedges from New Look, which I'm a little bit in love with, and this gorgeous oil-slick style envelope clutch from h&m which I snapped up in the sale over Easter. With all the sunshine we've been having, my fur collar is a tad unnecessary, but I finally got to see Gatsby on Friday night so I thought I'd add a little glamour to the look! (I think sans collar would more suitable for a student night in Lancaster, it's a little more MIC than LA1!) 

Over the next few weeks I'll be popping up some more Get The Label posts as well as my usual thrifed styles. Although a few of the pieces have been sent to me for review I have to admit I've become a little addicted to the Get The Label site due to its very affordable collections, so I've made a couple of purchases of my very own too!
