Dress - H&M
Teapot necklace - Topshop
Big stone ring - gift
I decided that although I used to go weeks without posting, to leave you all alone for five days would be cruel. So while I'm enjoying Rome, you can enjoy a few little pictures. I'm really happy with these pictures, they actually don't make me squirm when I look at them. They make me smile. :)
If you ignore my baby knees. Which I do. They look like baby faces. Little baby demons.
Maybe it's because I'm so in love with this dress? A lot of bloggers have it in the black and white striped print, but this floral was just too pretty. I might buy the other one as well, that's how good it makes me feel. And for such a self esteem boost, it wasn't too pricey either.
I used to save up all my money to buy one piece from Topshop, usually a pretty dress, and then find I had nothing to wear apart from three or four pretty dresses. Lately I've been buying more versatile pieces, things that work together and now I find it so much easier to find outfits I like. Neutrals and muted tones as well as gorgeous bright coloured patterns have really helped bring my wardrobe together. Basics are my best friends right now.
Well I might as well use this time wisely by asking a few things of you.
I love my followers, I love that I have followers and I love that the amount of followers I have grows. But I feel as if I don't know any of you! I really would like to know you all better so, if you would like to, leave a comment telling me about yourself or send me a quick email! I love getting them!
And another little thing, I'm not really happy with my blog name. It doesn't feel right to me. Maybe because it's taken from a song, it doesn't feel like my own. I was considering changing it to "Lily and the Glorious". I like how it sounds, it's more personal and I love the word glorious. What do you think?
Sorry for the loooooong post and I hope you are all having lovely summers (or winters)!
love lily x
