Dog days are over.

YesStyle.com Sleeveless Maxi Dress - AL&ALICIA Wind Chime Rayon Twill Blazer - La Dama Knit Rosary - Tony Bianco Dodge Boots - Assorted Rings

I've failed you! I still haven't found a new location - it's really quite poor form on my part. You all must be getting really bored with the whole afternoon sunlight thing too - I will try and find another time in the day to shake things up a bit :)

Having said that, Margaret's gone maxi! This time, with much love and thanks to the my gorgeous friends at YesStyle.com, who have, by the way Aussies, just opened up an Australian site for us: supremely exciting. I'm very much in love with the randomised tie-dye and warm grey on this dress - it manages to make this all-grey ensemble happy, and contrary to your audible complaints, I really won't get bored of standing in a breeze of some sort and watching it swish as maxis do. I'd been searching for a maxi dress that wasn't tiered (I find it awkward) or form fitting (these tend not to be as transeasonal), and this one was more than a little perfect. I love that the top isn't too fitted either - the drawstring makes it possible, if you prefer that, but without it, the option of running around billowy-fashion along a beach becomes quite appealing.

I wore it with my gorgeous AL&ALICIA blazer to my dear friend's 'Winter Wonderland' themed 18th which was lovely and slightly sentimental. And also a shoutout to the my favourite musicheads, Nic and Nu, who proudly presented me with the pictured treble clef ring. I love it to pieces.

So start searching for some amazing pieces right HERE.

Just to be annoying and extend this post further, I made the shocking discovery on Saturday that my makeup bag has all but disappeared. Before we freak out, I owned nothing in the way of designer makeup or anything like that. But there were some dependable basics in there - and the bag itself was gorgeously bright yellow too. So I'm a bit sad and unsure as to whether I should sulk a bit more at my continually unsuccessful searches, or just suck it up and fork out for an eyeliner, mascara, and maybe a nice palette of some sort. Thoughts?

Much love, and I hope your week has started less sleepily than mine!

*love*

I hate losing make-up bags. I've only lost mine once before, but it threw me into a complete tizzy, and after realising I wasn't ever going to see it again I went out and begrudgingly repurchased everything. I learnt to be a bit more careful after cocktails though!

Beautiful Maxi Dress and a nice Blazer to top it off. A Winter Wonderland themed 18th? Wonderful :)!

Ah I know how you feel when you loose the basics. I say fork out immediately! Oh I'm just kidding. Hopefully you'll find it in the next few days. Give it two more days of searching before venturing out!

Wow, gorgeous maxi dress. Incredible print and those heels ♥♥♥

Sorry to hear about your make-up bag, this must be awful. Eyeliner, mascara are a must and as for a palette I think some earthtone colors would look great on you.

Vonny said...

I am freaking out with this outfit! The dress is incredibly beautiful, don't know how to describe it, I love how he falls on the body and the movement that takes on the pictures. The blazer gives an elegant look fantastic.

Love the maxi! And maybe losing your makeup is a good excuse to buy a few things you've wanted to try and wait for the ole faithfuls to turn up again.

luciana said...

I've always been curious but what settings do you put for white balance when you take photos!

Susu Paris Chic said...

I very much like the sober, natural lines. It is fun to experiment with different styles. Good luck with the make up mystery.

Jamie-Lee Burns said...

oh my, girl this is the PERFECT maxi dress. If I ever own one I hope it looks like this (and as good on me!).

And that sucks about losing your make-up bag, I hope you find it x
