Wedding Day (Not Mine!)

It was my boyfriend's cousin's wedding yesterday and it was such a beautiful day. The weather held out amazingly well and everything went perfectly. I don't have too many good pictures of what I wore unfortunately, but  I tried to get a few.

I've had this dress for about three years and have been WAITING for the opportunity to wear it. You know when you see something in a shop and you have no occasion to wear it, but you know you'll regret it forever if you leave it behind? This little beauty of a dress was like that. And it was an absolute bargain from H&M for £34.99, so I figured I'd buy it and pray for a summer wedding.
Well, it only took three years.
But the time finally arrived, and questionable weather was not going to stop the dress from having it's moment.
And it was worth it, it's probably my favourite dress I've ever worn, and I felt like a princess all day (cheesy as that is).  I paired it with a gold metal belt from Zara, Office sandals and a Topshop clutch.


Getting my accessories ready (too organised for my own good)



With the bride's brother, Ed. (Not Ed Sheeran, I swear).



Hopefully I'll get some better pictures to add in!

Maxi Everything at Shoreditch House

Yesterday I spent the day at Shoreditch House for a training for work. I've never been before but I loved it, it's so beautiful (and posh, obviously). We got given lunch of pizza, chips and salad, and Champagne at the end of the day to reward us. (We deserved it, we got filmed talking in front of a group of people, which is genuinely my idea of hell).
We were up on the roof and as it was such a hot day so I just wanted to get into the pool..but obviously I couldn't as I had work to do sadly.
As a gathering of fashion girls that I rarely see I felt I needed to make an effort, but I didn't know what we'd be doing so I went for day heels that wouldn't kill me if I had to spend the day standing! Excuse me looking a little bedraggled in the pictures, they were taken after I got home, and it was a loooong day..I live about as far away from Shoreditch House as is possible.






I'm wearing Dress, Boots and Arm Cuff - Topshop. Necklace - My trusty River Island Peace sign. Cape/waistcoat/relatively useless bit of fabric - Never Fully Dressed.

I loved this, it just draped so nicely and I felt so flowy and fashion-y in it (if you know what I mean). The dress looks absolutely nothing on the hanger and the fold in the middle is undoubtably very peculiar, but you'd be surprised how many people have loved it when they actually put it on. I'm planning on buying it in neon pink as well.

I've got a wedding to go to today (I'm EXCITED) so hopefully I'll have outfit posts from that within the next couple of days. I'm praying I don't get rained on as I'm wearing a maxi dress that I've been saving for years, and sandals.
Fingers crossed!
Have a nice weekend all.
