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.

P.S. Take a walk and follow me on Twitter and Bloglovin' if you're so inclined :p

P.P.S. I don't actually believe the quote in the post title :)

Alice in the Eve Sheer Panel Tee - AL&ALICIA X Romper in Moon Mist - Generic Sheer tights - Dr Martens Worn 1460 8 Eye Boot in Navy Worn Smooth

A double whammy in this little ensemble I wore to the chemist to buy me some ginger tablets (they are magical... I swear), and then to the supermarket to buy a red grapefruit (singular) with the excuse of Vitamin C.

But first, another AL&ALICIA piece that is right up there on the love-of-my-life list. I don't really know what else to say about this romper apart from the fact that it's mind-blowingly cool. It's so simple and sweet in a proper, tailored way - the inverted pleats, collar and pockets kick up to being perfect, and the rayon/cotton blend fabric is so soft and comfy. I've been dreaming up so many ways of layering this insanely transeasonal beauty... imagine how gorgeous it would be when Spring/Summer come around again :) - this, my friends, is why AL&ALICIA is my favourite label.

Whammy number two: guess who is the proud owner of Dr Martens :) I bought them off a friend just yesterday for $20 (I died) because she never wears them (I died) and wanted to make some room in her wardrobe for more shoes (I died). Not only that - when she handed them to me, I realised that they:

1. were from the Dr Marten Worn Collection
2. had a Made in England stamp on the sole
3. would not leave my feet for quite some time

So what if one shoe doesn't have laces :)

And do pardon my miserable hair and puffy face on account of depressing weather and being more than a little sick.

I turn 17 tomorrow and I feel like I'm still 10. :)

*love*
