Floral Bustier Tie-Sleeve Dress // Chicnova

Brown Tassel Jacket // Boohoo

Brown Suede Cut-Out Boots // New Look

Absolutely love this romantic bustier dress! Its very princessy and for me it reminds me a little of the dress Princess Gisele makes in Disney's Enchanted film when she makes the floral dress from the curtains! 

I have had this dress waiting for months but decided that today now being nearly the end of May it was time to wear it although its still not really quite that warm yet. :) Off shoulder dresses & tops have been everywhere this Spring and is one of my fave styles to wear. 

So I layered on my suede tassel jacket and have given it abit of a Prarie girl/wild west look with some feathers n turquoise beads in my hair too. I have definitely re-discovered my love of turquoise accessories - I love how they can brighten up a look by adding pops of colour. You'll have to excuse the shoddy painting of my nails though, I am no artist and I put this nail varnish on last minute to match the ring and beads! have no patience when it comes to nails!

I'm not a fan of cardi's or shrugs as there's never any patterned ones out there so I automatically find them just a boring thing to buy and only will if I want to keep my arms covered but still show off whatever t-shirt I've got on underneath. Hence why I love Kimono's, they are never boring!
The kimono trend remains strong into spring and being the most versatile of pieces, it's a wise investment for any season.

Both of these Kimono's are from River Island and they are 
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! 
Pictures don't really do them much justice.

I saw both of them in River Island Stratford City and tried to choose one...but couldn't, and bought both! :)

The first one pictured is a more spring style fringed kimono, and will go with all the lovely pastel separates that have been taking over SS14 a treat. Its a great thing to wear if you wanna go out for an evening do but have a plain dress/top/leggings to wear to let this take centre stage! I wore it to my sisters pre-wedding dinner just a couple of weeks ago :)

The second kimono I'm wearing in black is due to go in to hibernation as I'm saving it for the autumn (though admittedly have worn it out once so far! :) )  it is a real statement piece that I'm gonna wear with shorts and tights to show off all its beautiful beading detail, the pattern on the back and sleeves are a lovely soft velvet!

These are so worth splurging on as you'l find you'l wear them again and again, I know I will be! :)
