i think i'm having a bit of a
pastel moment. i can assure you it's not intentional; i've never looked at my wardrobe and thought "you know what this needs? a big dollop of
sorbet shades." and i can't even blame it on the weather, as summer seems to have came, saw and conquered in april. yeah, none of us appreciated it then. we all muttered bitterly through our hot cross buns, when really we should have been getting
territorial over an extra inch of towel-space on the beach and considering ice cream a food group (wait, is that just me?) because that was the closest thing to hot weather we'd be getting. recently, i've found the fashion climate a little dreamier: the ever-increasing popularity of the
fanning sisters, and their ever-ethereal charms, the
hailee steinfeld for miu miu campaigns, the
sofia coppola-esque editorials cropping everywhere and even the resurgence of
lomography has got me feeling seriously dreamy. i picked up this white full circle skirt in
river island (disclaimer: this may or may not be the exact same skirt
marilyn monroe was wearing in THAT photo. i'm considering sewing rocks into the hem of this thing.) and i've paired it with so many things. people always seem to think whatever i'm wearing it with is a dress, though! it's called high waisted, guys. my top is from
topshop via eBay.
to be totally honest, i think my affinity for
pastel shades might have something to do with what i can only describe as the
advent of the macaron. this time last year, you couldn't move at a press day for
cupcakes. now, the canapé du jour is the
macaron (which is brilliant for my fellow gluten-avoiders). in honour of her birthday, i took my bestie
chloe to the brand new
ladurée tea rooms in
covent garden to enjoy some cakey goodness. a fancy tea room in such a tourist hotspot gives the simultaneous pleasure of enjoying something sweet with the horror of seeing a lot people wearing socks with sandals. and fighting off pigeons. enjoy!
a massive thank you to chloe for taking all these snaps on her shiny, brilliant camera.

I think I got to agree with you that is such a dreamy thing in the fashion atm. Full of pastels and good life.
Oh my, that outfit is gorgeous! And I love your hair!
I STILL haven't tried a Macaron, what actually IS it?! xx
Such a pretty outfit, you look lovely xxx
that place looks amazing! I absolutely have to visit London! And I love your outfit, especially your top. sooo pretty!
I knew that you would look fabulous in pastels. The lighter, sorbet-colored clothes look amazing on you. You have the perfect complexion to pull off these colors. :)

Such a wonderful outfit! I have two similar bracelets and I've been lusting for that specific one for a while! Also those cakes look delicious!!! lucky thing you.
You look gorgeous. I love the floral bustier. I am seriously considering getting one now. The only reason I didn't include Garance was b/c I thought she was already overwhelmingly popular in the blogging world. I guess I'll add to her the list now anyway then.
Oh my such yummy looking pastries! I want some now.
And you look great! Pastel moods are always nice.
Those treats at ladurée look super yummy. Definitely not doing anything for my sweet tooth!
i love your dress! where did u get it? :P JK!
