The Look For Less

Did anyone see Taylor Swift at the MuchMusic Awards the other week? If the rumours are true, then Ed Sheeran is a lucky man! She looked absolutely stunning in this Herve Leger bondage dress:

And the high-street is all over this monochrome thing. I’m tempted to copy Taylor’s look with these beauties:

Dotty Dress

Well, it’s officially wedding season. The time of year most ‘singletons’ dread (owing to the general depression-inducing cost of all those hen-dos, gift-lists, overnight-stays, etc, etc) but I am an anomaly. I love it. It’s the best time of year for pretty-dress-shopping!

I actually bought this River Island dress a few weeks ago for work but, with the right head-wear and heels, it could easily double-up as an outfit for a wedding/christening. I love the fun loop detailing on the collar and pockets too.

The Not-Too-Short Shorts.

Having longer-than-average legs can make it somewhat difficult to find summer wear that fits (and doesn’t leave too much on show). Luckily though, New Look have recently released a bargainous, new tall range…

These boyfriend shorts fit me perfectly. And my cats seem to like them too…

Tall Boyfriend Shorts £14.99
Jumper: F&F
Shoes: Dorothy Perkins (They don’t sell white ones online but here’s the same thing in nude)
…And then I got a bit carried away and bought this skirt too. Because, y’know, you can never have enough maxi skirts.
