OOTD - Misha In wonderland


“There is no better designer than nature.” 





Dress- Asos - another similar here

Although this dress looks nothing like the one Alice wore in Alice and wonderland, fall I can think about when I see it is the book/film, the dress is so enchanting and whimsical it would be hard not too link them. The colours are so earthy and merge well together there are two differing styles on the website with the other being slightly darker and with more of a floral print (both linked above) I do prefer the other colour however they are on low stock at the moment and only hold it in a size 14.

This Ultra drop waist mini dress is in fact only available in the petite range at Asos which is designed to fit women of 5'3/1.60m and under, however I am 5'7 and although the dress is a little short it still covers everything and doesn't look like it wasn't intended for a person of my height. I applaud Asos for creating such a unique dress, currently everything looks the same and it's always nice once in a while to choose a piece that breaks the mould, as famously said by Dr. Suess (who relates greatly to Alice and wonderland)  - "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?".

Graduation Dress



"What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human 
contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language." 
- Miuccia Prada 






Dress - Ginger Fizz 

I love the style and the floral print on the dress I chose for my graduation it's so pretty, girly and perfect for a smart occasion as it isn't very revealing. The material has a silky feel which makes it very lightweight, (a must in the abnormally hot weather we are having in UK at the moment) especially as I was going to have to wear a huge gown over it. 

Deciding on a dress took a very long time as i'm quite picky and I feel that graduation is almost as important as your wedding day, it's a day where the pictures and memories will be kept forever and you don't want to remember yourself looking horrific. I decided it was definitely best to pick something classic and timeless, and I also wanted a lighter coloured dress as it would stand out under the gown, compliment my darker skin tone and be more suitable in the heat. 

These were my other choices :-

OOTD - Vintage Floral




Dress - Zara/Ebay// Heels - asos 

So first things first, this gorgeous floral tea dress was only £7 !!
 It's originally from Zara but I bought it from the magical land of eBay (where prices are incredibly low) . I'm not sure if this is a copy of the Zara dress, it came with the tags on, but the seller has a lot of them in stock ranging from size 6-12.

I definitely have expensive taste but I can't deny I also love a bargain, 
and this dress was such a great find for the summer. 
It's a modern twist on a vintage style with the colours, the pattern and the 50's kick out skirt. Paired with some heels or sandals I'd say it's ideal for a garden party.
