All that glitters is green... and blue.

Ever since I received this beautiful green gemstone Zara necklace as a gift from my friends (thank you!) I have been wanting to do an outfit post with it.

I know that this necklace is rather versatile and can be worn with many colours and tones but I had it in my mind that I had to be green that I wore this beautiful necklace with.

Though I have to say that it is a little bit hard to find the right outfit when green isn't so in season. Luckily for me ASOS (yet again hehe) have this gorgeous bold printed tulip dress. A light bulb went off in my head as soon as I saw it. woo hooo!

The four things I love most about this dress are

1. Tulip shape, and midi sleeves. Peerrrrrfect for the office (perfect for me anyway)

2. The fabulous blues on this dress let me accessorise my outfit with another gorgeous present I received for my 24th birthday.

3. When the sunlight reflects off the fabric, it looks subtly metallic even though it's not.

4. My necklace blends so well into the dress that it it goes from a very statement type of necklace into something a little less so.

After though - a fifth : the dress has pockets!!!!!!! WIN!

Unfortunately with all things that we love, there are things that we don't necessarily like either...

like the true length of this dress. At a fabulous height of 165cm, I am far too short to wear this as it is, and I had to hem off the end completely, which is such a shame really. Wish ASOS had made this in petite as well.

So how would you have worn the necklace? Or the dress?

Hope you like! XOXO

Cutesy in bold brocade prints

I completely fell in love after seeing Beyonce in Emma Cook's (sold out!!!!) Silk de Chine floral printed button down and shorts at Miami Art Basel last year, and ever since then I had been obsessing over trying to find something similar.

And so many months later (but better late than never), VOILA! ASOS created their own set.

and I love.

I so so love! It is just my luck really that bold, statement prints are also on the minds of many designers for the AW/SS2013/14 season. So many separates come in the same prints.
YAY!

Lastly, I just wanted to apologise for the absence of posts. Things just got crazy busy like I would have never believed. Hopefully things improve from here onwards! *fingers crossed

Lots of love,
