Goodbye Summer - Holiday Snaps

I think it's safe to say that I have had a little bit of a break from blogging! Summer has been super busy and I found it really hard to actually sit down and spend some time on my blog. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and was reluctant to be publish anything which didn't feel 100% me or rushed.

To give you a little bit of a sneaky peak into my Summer, I wanted to share with you some of my favourite photos from the past few months.

Dress: Ted Baker Shoes: Next

At the beautiful 'La Sommita' hotel in Ostuni

These photos are taken in Ostuni Italy at a family wedding. My dress is from Ted Baker and I am in absolute LOVE with it! It's actually reversible although I personally don't have the right figure to wear it the other way round! The back has a gorgeous lace collar detail and the gold buttons which run down the back remind me of THAT Pippa Middleton bridesmaids dress (ok, so that's the real reason I bought it!)
My pearl bracelet is from Tiffany and my shoes are Next. I really wanted some white strappy shoes to wear with this dress but I just couldn't find them in time!!
Ostuni is such a beautiful setting for a wedding and we'll definitely be revisiting!

I also really loved my hair on the day - I had it professionally styled with a curling wand. Sadly I'm unsure which wand the hairdresser used - such a shame as I love the look of the curls.

Curly Locks

Summer is officially over now so it's back to work, chilly nights and for me, weekends watching my boyfriend play football! Oh and not forgetting SHOPPING! Well... it would be rude not to!

Anyone who knows me on Twitter will know that my laptop is playing up so I'm unable to load as many photos on here as I would like! I'll be updating more photos on my instagrammpage so come andfollow me - flutterbydott.

Over the coming weeks I'll be having a little change round on my blog so keep your eyes peeled!!

Dress Like A Celeb - Mollie King

This series is back and this time I'll be showing you how to dress like the super stylish Mollie King! One fifth of the Saturdays!

As we're in between seasons at the moment, I've copied one Mollie King look but also created one of my own.

Mollies style is great to pull off as she's a massive lover of high street fashion and buying just a few staple items will mean that you'll be looking like Mollie in no time at all.

The first look which I've recreated is perfect for those chilly Autumn days which are all too quickly on their way.
The pale blue shirt provides just a little break in the all black outfit - holding onto a little bit of Summer before we get the scarves and hats out!
My favourite part of this outfit is the rolled up jeans with the brogues. I am a massive lover of Topshop Joni jeans and think the black coated jeans are a great way to dress up an outfit. I'm on the look out for some brogues for the Autumn - think I may have to go and try these ones on!

Shop The Look

Hat - Topshop New Big Felt Floppy Hat £28
Shirt - Topshop Casual Chambray Shirt £29
Jeans - Topshop Moto Black Coated Joni Jeans £40
Nail Varnish - Essie Nail Polish Licorice £7.99
Shoes - ASOS Makeshift Brogue Lace Ups £25
Bag- Zara Leather City Bag with Front Pocket £69.99

I absolutely love this look and will definitely be purchasing the bag and jeans!! I'm also a massive lover of a collar under a jumper. If you are too then why not try to find some pretty lace or embellished shirts? Primark always have pretty shirts at affordable prices so get ready to spruce up your wardrobe ready for Autumn!

 

The second look hasn't been copied directly from Mollie, but it's an outfit I've put together using her style as inspiration.

 

Mollie (like me) is a massive lover of tans, beige's and stripes so I've teamed them all together to come up with this perfect daytime outfit.This look is great for shopping and weekends away and effortlessly says glam!

 

This double breasted trench coat has been on my wish list for some time and this year I think it's just about time I purchased it! You can wear this casually, with jeans or converse or really dress it up by doing up all the buttons and teaming it with some heeled ankle boots!
