“Believing that a girl will wait is just like jumping with a parachute packed by someone else.” ~ Nikolai Chepik.

Ruche "The Way You Look Tonight" Dress - Dr Martens 1460 8 Eye Boot - Agent99 Diamond Cutout Ring - Nightmarket Thumb Ring

This amazing dress arrived from Ruche last week, and I've been waiting for the perfect sunny afternoon to jump around in all its ruffled glory. What I love most is its asymmetry - the ruffles down one side make it that much more unpredictable - and what better way to play this up than with my beloved Docs (navy matching was totally unintentional :p).

The second point of obsession is the vintage vibe, which I think can be safely attributed Ruche's vintage inspiration. I've noticed that everyone was going all out vintage for a good few months, and now the pendulum's swung back a bit to just vintage-inspired designs with a twist. Have you guys bought anything like that?

My hair has finally gotten long enough to put it up in a non-retarded-looking bun again, but do excuse my crazy Tweety Bird fuzz that has appeared around my hairline. Don't really know what the go is with that :)

This week is going so slowly! Does anyone else find that? It's like... the mid-year slump. And clearance sales won't do anything to fix that. I need sleep.

These are really fantastic pictures. The wind and the dress are just gorgeous.

Esther said...

babe you look stunning in this! & tied-up buns suit you really well. sometimes i just look like some old woman with my bun, boo :( & tweety bird ALWAYS happens to me. sigh. but yours doesnt look that bad! makes your bun look abit teased & messily perfect in fact :)

i think the vintage trend is still going quite strong, from what i can see from blogs & streetstyle posts, but i guess vintage-inspired pieces are coming on strong as well, hand-in-hand
