BURKATRON

you know when you buy something new and you wear it to death within a week... yes that's me and my new skirt!  I finally had to part with it to the washing machine... I'm already suffering withdrawals (send help) I've been so busy praying for the sun to arrive I hadn't even considered what to wear when it landed! I love forever 21 for vests and little summer tops, they're so affordable it's easy to justify buying a few items to perk up my wardrobe! luckily I'd picked up this vest last month so when I popped out for lunch I paired it with my new denim number, a truck load of bracelets and one of my favourite vintage bags.  light wash denim skirt:  river island vest:  forever 21 vintage bag:  the little deer eagle necklace: topshop sunglasses: h&m  ring, watch, belt & leather bracelets: urban outfitters leather gladiator sandals:  new look we stopped off for lunch in one of my favourite spots, cheesy pineapple & mushroom goodness ensued....

I love prints.. especially of the palm tree variety! two minutes after opening this meemee  dress, I was on a beach, mojito in hand ready for my summer holiday (you can't blame a girl for dreaming...) as soon as the rain makes itself scarce this little beauty is going to be a staple in my sunny day dress collection. they have some really nice items in at the minute, this lace  playsuit  is  already making my debit card nervous so if you haven't added them to your shopping bookmarks you should. you may notice my new hat; this topshop fedora has been on my wishlist for about two months (yep I caved, I'm weak) now I can pretend to be indiana jones from the comfort of my own bedroom... that's my weekend plans sorted. the belt is from forever 21 and is a really good dupe of the urban outfitters versions so I figured I was saving myself some money with this purchase...wink. sugarhill boutique tropical seas dress: c/o  meemee fedora:  topshop belt: forever 21...

hurrah the sun is out.. about time you little rascal! I can't remember the last time I was so ridiculously excited to put on a dress.. sweet jesus the extended winter has ruined me. I do have a real soft spot for my new peachy number! super loose, laid back and no worrying about sharing my rear with passers by (always a bonus) as it's fairly long and demure. I've always loved smock dresses so one look at the asos website and it was game over for my inner hippy and I.  it doesn't look as floaty in these pictures but trust me it's quite swingy (is that even a word?) and over sized at the waist when you try it on! perfect if you've just ordered yourself a large pizza.. who me? nepi smock dress:  asos necklace:  topshop denim jacket: forever 21 satchel: topshop (old) boots: office back soon! caroline x
