Happy Easter!

20.04.14 - Easter Sunday

 
 Hi! Here's a little OOTD / nails / present catch up from Easter! Had a really chilled day with the family, watching films and eating way too much chocolate! 

 OOTD - 

I bought this dress around a year ago during a trip to New York, from a store called Century 21. Despite loving it at the time, I always seem to find it a bit too flowery / bright to wear as an everyday look - hence it's becoming my go-to 'Easter Look'! 

Dress - Century 21
Brooch - Vintage Fair
 
As the dress is a bit low, I decided to add this 'vintage' brooch I picked up sometime last year at a fair near the Custard Factory. It's a really individual piece, and I love the design of it - no idea whether it's a mass-produced piece but I've always thought it was pretty unique and perfect to change up an outfit.

 

Nails - 'Easter Manicure'

 

'Manicure' with a twist
Blending in

 Hadn't planned to do anything with my nails, but seeing this yellow in my sister's room completely changed my mind! It's a really bright, OTT colour, so I decided to play it down a little by creating this variation of a French manicure - Easter-style! Despite it not being the tidiest finish, I'm pretty pleased with this look and it fit really well with the dress. 

Presents!


Wrapped and ready!
Once opened...

11.04.14 - We Like To Party


"Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'" - Robin Williams


Spring is definitely here - pollen, flowers coming into bloom and nights getting so bright you can walk outside at 8PM and still see your reflection loud and clear off any shiny surface...

Not to mention the bombardment of friends' birthdays that always seem to fall during Spring...

Yesterday i managed two parties in one night. Either one of the best or worst ideas....
