The Way Young Lovers Do



This cute little dress which I bought second hand originally came from H&M. I usually dont really find the fit of H&M clothes works for me but I am really pleased with this little number! Its got a cute nautical feel and the empire waist and general shape is so flattering particularly for a slightly pear shaped figure like mine! I gave my usual little leather boots a slightly new twist by wearing some chunky leg warmers to make them a little more slouched...  I'm also wearing a simple button up top underneath and a lovely vintage necklace which was a gift from my boyfriend.

I really want to get hold of some over the knee socks at some point as I think this would top this outfit off a little better, If anyone has come across some nice thick over the knee socks for a cheapish price then do let me know! Whilst I am asking for your help...Im realllly desperately seeking a pair of wedge heeled booties similar to the Emma Cook at Topshop style....If anyone has any ideas where I could find some I would be forever grateful for your help!!

Those of you who have left comments, I will try and check out all your blogs and reply over the weekend! xxxxx

  11. I know that Urban Outfitters has some really cute and warm knee-high/over the knee socks for about $10.
    I don't know about the shoes, however, but if someone knows of any, you should be sure to bring them up in your next post because I have been looking for the perfect wedges :)

  25. I found the best over-the-knee socks at a department store called Target. I don't think they have them in the U.K. but you could try ordering them online. The ones I bought were only $5.99 and are so sturdy and warm!

    Topshop have their own pair similar to the Emma Cook version, they're not on the website but you may be able to find them instore. Be warned though, they run two sizes too small!

  32. the blue works wonders with your skin and makes you look so porcelain but with the youthful spark. this sort of look will be SO perfect for the fashion week shows we go to that are 'so alexa' or electro! x

  33. you have the most amazing skin - what do you use on it?? i'm really pale & have a hard time finding coverup light enough... any advice would be wonderful!
