Bonjour mes amies! Hope you are all having a super weekend and have lots of exciting things planned. I can't thank you enough for your phenomenal response and feedback on the last post. I was completely overwhelmed by the amount of you that read it all the way through, and even more so by your kind words about my style and content. You guys give me so much confidence in my abilities as a writer and in my chances of making a real career out of it, so thank you kindly. Whilst I am a never ending fountain of words, I don't want this to be solely an article based blog and like to have a variety of fashion related posts, so considering the heavy word content of the last one I decided to make this an outfit post and give your brain's (and mine) a break.
Before I showcase my outfit I just wanted to let you know about the subtle and not so subtle changes to the blog. Most of you would have noticed the dramatic change in the layout, which will continue to by altered slightly in the coming days. As the wise woman Sheryl Crow once said, "a change can do you good". It's good to mix it up one in a while and have a bit of variety in life, and the blog is no different. So it's out with the old layout, background and clichéd song lyrics for titles. Being the language lover that I am, I've decided to give you a new, genuine word per post, to add to your vocabulary and impress people. I love to be different and after racking my brains for something original, realised I haven't seen that on any other blogs. So from now on if you see words and accompanying definitions as post titles popping up all over the place, you know where they got the idea from first. I'd love to know what you guys think about the new changes - tu l'aime (Y) ou deteste (N)?
Back to the outfit post. The other day I went to a garden party and thought it was the perfect opportunity to wear my new gorgeous, intricate dress that I got for a bargain in the summer sales (more about those in another post). I paired it with my woven pattern hairband, monochrome heels, quilted patent clutch, grey floral ring and this amazing new grey floral bracelet from topshop:
Stay safe and chic mes chéries,
English Rose x











Oh, you look wonderful! That is absolutely one of your prettiest outfits. I love the hairband, the clutch, the dress, the bracelet!
