The seaside dress...
This post contains items that were sent for review
I promised you that I would be sharing my George picks and I am
so excited to be sharing this outfit with you. Certain things really put a spring in your step and
this seaside dress is my new favourite thing in my wardrobe. Paired with
my cat-eye sunglasses, I felt like Audrey Hepburn in
Roman Holiday when I was swooshing around in the park in this- what more could you ask for from a dress?! I just need Gregory Peck to whisk me around on a Vespa now! (swoon).
1950s style dresses are always flattering on me and this one fits me like a glove. It feels like a grown-up version of
the infamous Venice dress that I loved all the way back at uni and I couldn't be happier with it. Mark and I have been exploring Cheltenham more recently and this wisteria-filled park was a nice change in backdrop- definitely expect to see it on the blog again soon!

You can see how happy I am with this dress with the cheesy grin I have here! I kept my make-up pretty simple, mixing my
Nars Orgasm illuminator with
my beloved Dr Jart BB cream for a natural glowy finish. Lipstick-wise I paired
Allure with
Max Factor Xperience Sheer Gloss Balm in shade 02 for the perfect peachy shade.
I know I will get a
lot of wear from this dress in the summer and I can't wait to pair it with
my bright yellow bag and
sandals or
this navy pair, the beauty of a busy pattern like this means that there are plenty of colours that you can pick out! I was originally going to go for a classic red nail varnish but I decided to wear
Essie 'Spin the Bottle' on my nails instead which is definitely my perfect nude shade!
You know I can't resist a full skirt and this one is deliciously swooshy. The extra material could be a little overwhelming but the nipped in waist stops me from drowning in fabric. A midi length like this would be better with heels but I actually love it with flats, not least because I could run around without any problems.
Are you a fan of fifties frocks?
P.S. I was sent these items to review but if I didn't love this dress, I wouldn't feature it!
