October in Pictures

Firstly, where did October go?! It flew past so quickly and I can't believe we are now in November. I thought I would share with you some photos of what i've been up to during the last month as it involved a visit to a cute little vintage village, a halloween party and some homemade biscuits. 

At the beginning of the month, me and my partner decided to spend a spur-of-the-moment afternoon visiting a gorgeous little village in Wiltshire with our dog, Ralph. It was like stepping back in time with a vintage bakery, small village church and local shops. We stopped for a delicious afternoon tea in a tiny tea shop and spent a few hours taking in the glorious scenery, which Ralph thoroughly enjoyed! The following week, I put my baking head on and decided to bake some butter biscuits as we had some friends to stay. Now i'm not the best cook in the world but I decided to try out a recipe from my new cookbook and whip up a batch of biscuits which thankfully, went down a treat! Finally, to round up the month nicely, we were invited to a halloween/bonfire party with friends. I decided to dig out my cat ears from the previous year, draw on a couple of whiskers and away we go. It was a great evening with lovely food, halloween cakes, pumpkins, fireworks and sparklers. 

After a great October, I'm really looking forward to what November will bring! My diary is looking very full with lots of fun things including birthday extravaganza's, christmas lights, more fireworks and a mad hatter's tea party...all of which I will be sure to share with you!

I would love for you to let me know what you've been up to during October?

A Pop of Lace

Hi there!

As September has arrived, I will officially become a student again, but this time, at a different university (gulp!). So, I've been on the hunt to find some new wardrobe items which are casual but a tad dressy, as I would love to look and feel my best for the new start in my life!

I simply loved this dress the moment I saw it appear on ASOS and I thought it was a perfect find to share with you. Firstly, it is a simple, long sleeved, black dress but with an added vintage flare! Secondly, it is designed by Pop Boutique whose clothing I love, as they stock great vintage style items and cute peter-pan collar dresses. *swoon*

ASOS Pop Boutique Dress

Before long, my days will involve either attending lectures or completing placements and this dress is perfect for both! The material is stretchy so it is comfortable to wear whilst keeping busy, the design is casual yet smart and the long sleeves can help to keep you warm and toasty in these (soon to be) autumn months. 

Now, speaking of sleeves, this dress has cute lace cuffs with a small button attached to each one. I personally love them but the great thing about this design, is that the cuffs are easy to fold away under the fabric if you feel they look a bit too much or just fancy toning the lace down slightly.  

All in all, I know I will be wearing this dress ALOT as it makes a really easy but pretty outfit with the added lace embellishments. 

Team this dress with a pair of cute ballet pumps, a pop of colour on your lips and your good to go!

What do you think of my new ASOS Pop Boutique dress? Do you have a new dress which you just love?
