Summer florals

Hello there,
I hope you are all doing well.

I am wearing something as revolutionary as florals for Summer. So innovative right?

Anyway, this is one of my favourite dresses and it is handmade by Windram Design (facebook page here). It is so full and twirly. The amount of fabric is amazing, and I wore a petticoat under it and was told I look like a cupcake (which, really is the best compliment a girl can get).

I actually also wore this to one of my very important presentations that I had in front of the whole department at work. I was so nervous and wanted to look my best, and I wanted to look totally and fully "me". So this cute, floral dress felt very much like it represented me.

It has become a staple in my Summer wardrobe because it is light weight and flowy. I really really adore this dress!!

Dress: Windram Design (handmade)

Petticoat: ModCloth (here)

Earrings: H&M (old)

Flats: Daisy Street via Asos (old)

Anyway, I don't have much to say in terms of life. I'm in my holidays, it is amazing and great and I wish it would never end. How are you all doing?

Hope everything is good.
Much love,

Hello everyone!
Hope you are all doing well. I am super busy at work at the moment, so I haven't had a lot of time for blogging, but I wanted to update real quick with a new instalment in the Etsy Love series.

I adore Etsy. I think the idea of Etsy is brilliant and I am constantly finding new shops that are amazing! Today however, I wanted to introduce you to a favourite shop of mine, that I have known of for almost exactly a year - Windram Design.

Dress: ModCloth (here)

Collar: Windram Design (similar here)

Tights: Primark

Those of you who have been with the blog since the start will perhaps remember that Helen Windram of Windram Design was the first person I collaborated with on this blog, here. I wore a limited edition rust coloured and twirl-worthy handmade dress by Helen then.

And the talent of the creator of Windram Design doesn't stop at sewing. When I saw this crocheted collar I just knew I had to have it, because it can make a dress look completely different.
Which it did.

I added the crocheted collar to a trusty comfy black dress from ModCloth, and voilà - it's like a new dress! And adding it to black gives it a particularly lovely Wednesday Addams vibe!

This post is not sponsored like the rest of my Etsy Love posts. I just wanted to show you my cute crocheted collar.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!
Much love,

Lovely limited edition dress from Windram Design

This lovely rust coloured twirl-worhty dress is from Windram Design. It's a limited edition dress and only five will be made!

Everything from Windram Design, this dress included, is handmade with care and precision. Helen Windram, the creator of Windram Design, has been making and selling her dresses for the past year and all of the designs are her own, which gives them an extra touch and unique flair. This lovely dress in a linen/viscose blend had the most special and lovely freehand front stitching that adds a quirky element to the garment, which is something that I appreciate a lot. The adorable puff sleeves are so cute and absolutely beautiful. And I adore the skirt of the dress so very much! The skirt is so full, it drapes beautifully and it is the grandest dress ever to twirl in!!

I like my clothes to be unique and a bit whimsical, and Helen has a natural talent for making beauty in fabric with distinctive details. Helen's designs are timeless and classic with exceptional attention to details. Her garments are so very flattering and incredibly comfortable. I feel fantastic wearing this dress and it makes me feel very beautiful. And the twirling really is magnificent in this dress! So if you, like me, are planning to twirl all summer, this is the dress to do it in!

This dress is also a very versatile piece, I feel like I already have several outfits ready with just this one dress! And I can't wait to pair it with tights and a cardigan for the colder months. By sewing one-of-a-kind dresses, Helen's garments feel exclusive to the wearer, and I personally value that feeling very much.

You can find the dress: here

Remember, it's a very limited edition dress, so make haste!

Windram Design's etsy shop is here.

Now I'm going to go twirl some more in this lovely dress.

Much love!
