Jacket Charlie Brown / Beanie eBay / Lace Shirt Motel / Dress UNIF Kick Flip Dress / Shoes T.U.K. Mondo Creepers

Hi lovelies! If you've been reading this corner of the interwebs for any length of time you may have figured out that I'm more of a shorts and t-shirt kind of girl. However every so often there is a dress that is too perfect to pass up. 

Like the vast majority of UNIF's releases this dress was love at first sight. It was also crazy pricey, but my patience paid off and I got it for a steal from Urban Outfitters. The tulle layers under the skirt give a really girly vibe to the dress. It's an unusual feeling for me, dressing girly, but every so often I like to remember my childhood love of dresses. I went through a stage of refusing to wear anything but dresses, even when going to the park. My how times change. 

Passion for Fashion Competition

I think it comes with the territory of being a fashion blogger that you're addicted to shopping. Sadly for me basic necessities like food and phone bills often get in the way of my addiction. When I heard about Money Supermarket's competition on the lovely Olivia's blog I knew it was the perfect way to satisfy my shopping itch and not spend a dime. Here are the three outfits I've designed below, if anyone fancies entering it is open internationally (link here) and I would love to see your fantasy outfits in the comments.

Crop River Island £35 / Denim Crop River Island £30 / Maxi Skirt Topshop £20 / Socks Topshop £4 / Boots Topshop £70 / Casio Urban Outfitters £28

Total Spent = £187

Down under it is just cooling off after a long, steamy summer so this outfit is perfect for autumn (or an English spring ;)). I am currently lusting over the entirety of the Rihanna for River Island collection. I've never been a big fan of Rihanna's music but after this collaboration I definitely have a bit of a style crush going on. The turtleneck has a split down the back which I think is a really nice detail and the denim crop is the perfect way to wear denim in the warmer weather. Maxis make an awesome staple year round and the side splits allow everyone to see the most important part of your outfit, the shoes (duh). I have been loving patterned and colourful socks of late and have been snapping them up off eBay left, right and centre. They add a delightful pop of colour to my rather neutral wardrobe. Finally the Casio, once you start wearing a watch regularly you can never go back. I feel slightly naked if I ever forget mine and a Casio is a affordable alternative as Michael Kors wasn't quite within the £200 budget.
