Forest Green and Oxford Grey

Dress: Sammydress | Cardigan: thrifted | Brooch: eBay | Tights: Calzedonia | Scarf: ? | Wellies: Hunter | Socks: Hunter

I've been so mentally and physically tired lately, due to my work and my lack of motivation... However, I promised myself to do outfit posts more often because the feedback has been encouragingly positive (thank you, everyone!), and I shall honour my word. 

This outfit hasn't been remotely possible without the floral dress, which you can purchase here (click through) for only 11€! What I love about this dress is the comfortable feel, the buttons and its slight mori girl style vibe. For those who don't know what the fuck am I talking about, Mori means forest in Japanese and this adorable fashion trend emerged in 2007, which style concept is basically the earthy look of a girl who lives in the forest or, at least, in the country - think tea, moss, vintage oversized cardigans, brown booties, books, a simple design, cotton, wool and cosy knitwear.

By the way, have you noticed the mushroom brooch? Pretty, huh? So, yes, you can wear Wintery yet Springtime-inspired clothes by pairing bits of style stolen from Asian trends with British countryside themed elements such as the farmer's favourite wellies, cable knit socks, scarf and cardigan. Besides, green and grey always work so well together!

It's all about the eyebrows!

I'd love to sit at this table.

Bagpiper Gilbert Kerr, member of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, was photographed serenading an indifferent penguin in 1904 - priceless!

Do I really need to tell you how charming is this room?

These bubble gardens in the streets of Paris are such an amazing idea! Designer Amaury Gallon created each bubble with a unique environmental inspiration. One hosts a jungle, while another garden features hundreds of orchids woven into the metal structure that frames the transparent igloo-shaped rooms. Well done!

Enter the herb closet!

Here's quite an intriguing invention...

Check this out! One of Leonardo da Vinci's many notebooks, this one diagramming a potter's wheel (c. 1508-1509) and all written backwards! I am really fascinated at his mirror writing.

Sorry but this is actually quite funny. English readers, don't take it too seriously, please! I know the referendum is coming. Chill.

So many gorgeous outfits in this film. The allure of foxy ladies and 1930s glamour!

The lady is so gifted and I wouldn't mind having some of these hanging on my walls.
