Style: Tea Dress & Trench Coat

Tea Dress & Trench Coat

Anyone who knows me, will know I’m not a ‘beach person’. I don’t like having sandy toes, I get burnt within minutes and jellyfish scare the crap out of me. It’s probably for all these reasons I own very little ‘beachwear’, which is how I found myself trawling through the Next website a few weeks ago, desperately trying to find something ‘beachy’ for my trip to Soma Bay, Egypt. It was around that time, I spotted this cute little Floral Tea Dress. It’s neither beachy, or appropriate to wear in 40 degree heat, but I had to have it regardless. I’m a stubborn so-and-so, which is why I put it in my Egypt suitcase, but let’s be honest, it’s more suited to English than Egypt weather! FYI, if you are looking for some seriously cute summer dresses, Next have an incredible selection, I literally can’t recommend them enough, I have about 5 on my wish-list right now!

New & Old

When I first got my Chanel Pearls, I wore them all the freakin’ time, like I wore them with EVERYTHING for about 2 years straight! I couldn’t get enough of them, but in my defence, they are pretty special. Anyway, I wore them so much, I kind of maxed them out and I put them away for quite a while. I finally got them out a few weeks ago and I’m so enjoying wearing them again! I paired them with my classic Chanel brooch, I’m sure some people will think it’s too much and showy, but I’m just that kinda gal. As for my watch, it’s brand new, it’s by Cath Kidston and I love it so much! It’s so cheerful, I smile every time I look at it!
