I should really have just called this blog post, 'insert witty/cool title here'.. probably would have been better!
Anyway, it kind of sucks that I'm no longer reminiscing over holiday snaps, whilst typing up these blog posts. Yep, the holiday is officially over, I need time to grieve.
GRIEVING OVER. How can I be sad when I have fabulous clothes? Of course, clothes aren't everything.. but damn, they sure cheer up a gloomy day.
I arrived home from work to a package from the lovely people at NaaNaa Clothing, instant good mood! If you follow me on Instagram, you'll have seen me wearing the summery version of this beautiful playsuit. I'm not normally a strapless kind of gal by any means, but for some reason, these playsuits work! (In my opinion, that is). Obviously, I'm not going to be rocking my summer gear this time of year, but it never hurts to own it in a more seasonal shade, right? I think since being a blogger, my legs have become immune to the cold, so I no longer feel the need to destroy an outfit with tights! Incredibly beneficial when the majority of my outfits consist of items that don't cover up my legs!
The fit is absolutely perfect, and I feel surprisingly comfortable in it! Top marks from me.
My fluffy, marshmallow, snowy goodness jacket is one I have featured before, but I figured it looked super cute with this outfit, and definitely added a wintery twist! Anyway, who said you can only feature things once?!
I'm actually dedicating an entire paragraph to these shoes.. I might even write a book.. or a song..
They are the most comfortable shoes I have worn in my ENTIRE life. Please read that sentence three times, or as many times as you need to, to understand just how comfortable they are.
I attended the Linzi Shoes Press Day back in July, (I believe!), and it was quite obvious what my favourite pair of shoes were! Whilst they were releasing their new collection over the previous months, I was adamant I would wait until my beloved shoes were released before choosing a pair! It honestly came to the point where I was checking the website every single day.. I know, I had a problem. But it's okay! I have the shoes! Panic over!
Alright, I'll stop being 'dramatic'.
Basically, you need the shoes. The shoes need you.
They're almost identical to a pair of Dr Martens, (chelsea boot style, of course!).
Besides when I was in Africa, I've worn them every single day since receiving them, and we couldn't be happier together!
This is getting weird now. It's almost 1am. I'm delusional. Enjoy!
Blogger girls! Do any of you have trouble with locations to shoot your pictures? Either you shoot in the same space and they're getting too 'samey', or you simply can't find any suitable locations without travelling for exceptional amounts of time? You'll have seen, I'd gotten quite comfortable shooting in the somewhat 'unusual' location of a farmhouse, but not only was I getting a little sick of the prying eyes from surrounding houses, I was getting sick of editing the same old shoots, nothing really stood out to me, or excited me.. so how could I expect my readers to be interested?
I've been doing a lot of thinking about my blog recently, and the direction I want to take. I really want to explore with locations, and of course my style, so hopefully I bring more creative, exciting content to you all! I'm definitely looking at renovating my blog layout etc, so if anyone has any recommendations on how to go about it, I'd love to know!
Admittedly, this isn't my favourite of locations, and not entirely what I had in mind, but it's a start!
With that out of the way, on to the outfit!
I've been following Fashion Union for a long, long time now, and I finally ordered a bunch of new pieces from them! One of them was this super cute shift dress which I spotted on one of my lovely blogger friends Nicky Houghton. It looked absolutely stunning on her, so I decided to pick it up myself in the hope I looked half as good! (PS, if you haven't already seen her, go and check out her blog! Such a sweetheart with uh-mazing style).
I would recommend to size down in this dress, as although it's a shift dress, it comes up a little big! I put a belt with this to cinch it in at the waist, and paired it with some cute knee-high socks from my high school days. I popped on my duster coat and creepers so not to draw any attention away from the dress!
I have another post ready for you guys with an even better location, so hopefully I'll be upping my game! Let me know what you think though, do you get bored of seeing bloggers shoot in the same places?
