Make the most of this as it's not my usual style! In a swift departure from floaty dresses and casual shorts I present to you The Little Black Dress. I saw this San Diego dress from French Connection and was rather taken with the simplicity and yet quirky detail. The pinafore top is so unusual, yet perfect for me as I love a high neckline and a fitted waistband is rather welcome too; this dress does volunteer more of a suggestion of a nipped in waist than I rightfully deserve with it's special tailoring. The dress itself is pretty weighty, it's made of lovely thick material with a lining too; the real deal. By far the best quality dress I own and one that will remain a classic for years to come.

Worn with a thin gold belt, pearl necklace as a bracelet, Fiore velvet shoes, Iced Rainbow Daisy necklace (kind of obsessed with this) and heart earrings. The red bag is my absolute favourite from Aluna J, which is so bold yet seems to look right with everything. These pictures were a collaboration between me and the camera, I definitely am less comfortable trying to get shots on my own (and miss the camera expertise Chris has of course). There is something toe curlingly embarrassing about cars driving passed while standing by a field in, arguably, the most inappropriate outfit for the location. There really is no plausible explanation other than just taking pictures of yourself like a weirdo.


The golden hour glow that evening was absolute heaven, it lit up the freshly harvested stubble field as well as me, all very uplifting. Missing your countryside fix? I recommend you head along to Gnowangerup Cottage for a taste of all things delightfully rural, it's a new favourite of mine.

Ready for the weekend? I know I am. Take care everyone.
