OH HELLO OUTDOOR PHOTOS! Here is solid evidence that every once in a while I do actually make it beyond the front door of my apartment. Only sometimes though... when I'm feeling particularly brave! I took my boyfriend shopping for some new clothes today and decided to wear my new Sugarlips dress, which only arrived yesterday - eager beaver! Also, today is supposedly the last day of the Great British springtime heatwave of 2012, so it felt appropriate to wear a cute little summer dress. I absolutely adore this dress as it's lovely and floaty and just the right length. Too many shops nowadays seem to think it's appropriate to sell dresses that expose your entire derrière (I'M LOOKING AT YOU TOPSHOP!), which is not the look I am trying to achieve, so thank you Sugarlips for creating such a beautiful dress in where my decency can remain in tact!

There is so much more I'm currently coveting from their website including this amazing fringed cardigan and this billowy blouse. A lottery win anytime now would be wonderful thank you, so I can fill my wardrobe with their lovely tops and dresses! I put the mid-blink photo up for the giggles. I always manage to ruin at least one photo with my chronic blinking! Although, I was shopping for my boyfriend today I took my first step towards the pastel trend today and purchased the cutest pink satchel from Matalan. After all, it's probably time I started dressing more like a girl...
