Angel of the South... (bell bottom lace crochet all things pretty worded sleeve dress)

Dress - Asos (old) / Hat and Shoes - Topshop

First things first, i do not know what the yellow thing is next to the pot, apologies.. haha! ... THIS, is one hell of a dress right? It's one of my all time faves. I got it from Asos last year, sorry peeps :( although i have had a mooch and there are some similar designs on there so get looking!!! I brought it originally for a birthday and it was massive, and i didn't wear it until the other day when i was going through my wardrobe, and now it fits like a glove... so my guess is my sister has had a cheeky borrow and then shrunk it in the wash... 

Anyway, it features lace crochet sleeves that flare out at the end, kind of like bell bottom sleeves, and remind me of the crochet place mats you used to get at your nans! Or is that just me? They're a great contrast to the silk and chiffon body and the cut out in the back. Obviously styled with black... its all i ever wear. 

Happy bank holiday lovlies... Elysia

Navajo Gypsy Maxi

Dress - Charity Shop / Shoes - Topshop / Bracelets - h&m and eBay

This was one of my amazing finds from the charity shop haul the other day. The pattern just stood out to me straight away as i love anything and everything Navajo, perfect for summer days and holidays being light silk material n all!! And obviously the floaty sleeves and hem line make it extremely comfortable.

I kept the dress on for the BBQ i went to that night, and i got a lot of compliments on it! It's a slightly bigger size than i usually purchase but for this style i think it works. My plans were to alter it so it was more fitted around my waist however once i had tried it on, i changed my mind. The elastic band around the mid-drift doesn't sit too tightly then. I hope your not getting too bored of seeing these boots yet, i do have more than one pair i promise! I just love them too much, my little Topshop specials. 

I picked up a small Navajo style bracelet too from h&m to go with my cuff that i had purchased off eBay already. Coincidentally matching the turquoise colour included in the print of this dress. You could put any jewellery with this though because its so vibrant. I thought gold cuffs would work too with a small pair of tan sandals.
