An Autumn's Grace

Hi guys, I've been suffering from hayfever these last two weeks, but after my last post, I felt energised to get my camera out in the garden and take some outfit pictures. It was perfect timing because I was recently contacted by Dolly and Dotty , who are a vintahe retro company, and they wanted to see if I wanted to review a couple of their dresses. Being a lover of all things vintage, I jumped at the chance! The first of the two dresses you'll see on the blog, from Dolly and Dotty, is the Rosie Flirty 50's Pinup Girl Dress .   Dress: Dolly and Dotty* Cardigan: H&M Shoes: Dorothy Perkins^ Sunglasses: Spitalfields Market I was instantly attracted to the neckline and lace-up body detail, as it's kitch, without looking like a costume, and the red and white check print is perfect for when the sun's out. The dress is halter and comes with a belt that actually fits - such a rare thing when belts come as an accessory, and I think it really completes

I've wanted to write this post for the longest time, but I've deliberated over and over again about whether it was worth it. At times I just feel it's better to take the high road, and others, I feel like it's an important issue that needs to be addressed, even if no-one reads this I know within myself that I spoke up and gave my two cents. The issue of cliques within the blogging community came up on Episode Five of Bad Fat Broads , and I think it's a really important issue that no-one talks about.....at least not publicly, but as I mentioned, this is a topic I've wanted to address for some time so here goes. Firstly, for me, there is a clear and distinct difference between clique and friendship: Friendship - You love and support your friends in their endeavours, but also remain unbiased, and open to be encouraging to others within the community and congratulate and give due when they accomplish something, however small you may view said accomplishment.
