Modern Victorian

Top, Winners. Bralette, Nasty Gal. Skirt, Asos. Heels (here). Purse, Marc Jacobs. Necklace, c/o Happiness Boutique. Sunnies, (here). 

 
One of the easiest ways to glam up a simple/casual outfit is to put a statement piece on it. For this look, I was inspired by the nouveau modern Victorian looks as seen on the FW 15/16 runways. As well as this pretty flower bouquet statement necklace from Happiness Boutique. The beautifully crafted flower pieces that adorn this necklace work well with the lace detailing of the top, while the gold and beige hues compliment the neutral colour scheme. And speaking of Fall, this look could easily transition into your Fall wardrobe by simply pairing it with a longer maxi skirt.

So how does wearing this necklace make me feel? Happy. And happiness is exactly what the Happiness Boutique delivers straight to your door in the form of a very cute package! When I first checked them out online I found an abundance of ultra feminine dresses and tops, amongst a vast selection of necklaces, earrings, and other jeweled details – and their playsuits are fab! Also, not only does Happiness Boutique offer free shipping, but they also have a customer reward program. Oh, and about the shipping; the necklace arrived before I even had a chance to head over to my mailbox to check on it. I swear it must have teleported or something. Check out their site for your own bit of happiness when you get a chance.

Enjoy your day! xo

Darling Teal

Dress, Darling. Clutch, Nine West. Sandals, Dolce Vita (here). Sunnies, Ray Ban. Ring, Samantha Wills.

 
Wore this pretty teal crochet dress from Darling Clothes to a lovely dinner the other night with my boo. Initially we were going to shoot the outfit near the restaurant. However at the last minute we decided to hit the countryside as we thought the scenery would be more flattering given the bold teal colour of the dress. Worn with my Dolce Vita Tessah lace-up heels (which are currently being abused) and Nine West clutch. This dress also comes in a beautiful lilac. While it was a tough choice between the two I eventually settled on the teal. Which one would you have gone with given the choice?
