The Last of the Summer?

If I have done this correctly, then when you read this, I shall be enjoying the sunny South of France! 

Today as I write this, however, I am looking back to the first Monday in September when I went to Portsmouth for the day and it was probably my last day off in summer weather in the UK.

If I had to choose just one "favourite dress" it would probably be this one... 


It was purchased from Fox and Bear on Etsy last year but I have only worn it twice now because I am worried it will get ruined in some way or another!  I don't always feel that way about my vintage dresses but this one fits like an absolute dream and because it is a pale colour, I've only worn it to places where I don't think it is likely to get ruined. 


I just love the daisy detail around the edge and even the matching belt is in good condition.



I purchased this straw hat in Brighton a couple of weeks ago. I had wanted one for the summer but hadn't found one that I liked and when I stumbled upon this in a vintage shop - and for only £5 - I could not resist!  I shall definitely be taking this on holiday with me.

We went up the Spinnaker Tower at Gunwharf and although I had never been too fussed about going up the tower, the view was great! 


Dress: Vintage from Fox and Bear Vintage on Etsy
Necklace: Vintage from This is Vintage, Bournemouth
Shoes: Aldo
Bag: Vintage from Etsy
Hat: Vintage from a random vintage shop in Brighton
Gloves: Vintage from Scarlet Vintage in Bath

    What a beautiful dress! The colour is divine and it looks stunning on you. I don't blame you for not risking ruin by wearing it all the time.

      Ooh whereabouts on the South are you going? I'm staying near Montpellier. Weather has been great though a little too windy for my straw hat! I'll be uploading the holiday outfit photos at some point :)

    Well god, no wonder it's your favorite - what a dream! It fits like it was MADE for you. All those tiny pleats, wow. Score on the hat too, every girl needs a straw sunhat (and that one frames your face in the best sort of way.)

    Don't mind me, just gushing all the compliments?
