Outfit + Life | Adventures in Berry

Hi everyone.
| dress: Review | cardigan: Cotton On | scarf: thrifted |
A couple of weekends ago, I went to Berry with a group of friends. 
It part of my friend Georgia's 21st birthday celebrations. Her sister hired a house in Berry for a group of Georgia's friends. Such a lovely idea for a present, and it ended up being a lovely weekend of both relaxing and partying. I also did a fair bit of knitting as we lounged in the sun, drinking tea and chatting.

My Glorious Return + Shoes!

I'm back! After a little hiatus from doing any of the things, I've decided to start blogging again.
Life has generally been pretty overwhelming lately so I've been working on getting myself into a good space again before I started to blog again. No one wants 100 posts about how sorry I feel for myself!
Oh, since I last posted I dyed my hair and cut a front fringe again. (。◕‿◕。)

(✿^ ◡ ^)
Here is a picture of me at the beach with a flower in my hair! Happy to be looking happy again!

I will have some new things to share with you very soon, but for now I just wanted to show you my new favourite shoes. I would buy them in every colour if I could! So far I have them in black, lavender, mint green, and navy blue. They're so cheap, but they're quite comfy and seem fairly durable.


SO COLOURFUL! (◠‿◠)

The heel is the perfect height to make your legs look great, but they're still so easy to walk in! I wear them with socks or stockings most of the time, to uni, to work, to the pub, to the park... Honestly, they're my favourite shoes at the moment and pretty much the only shoes I've worn for the last few weeks. They add such a vibrant splash of colour to your outfit.

They're from Yumetenbo/Dreamv in Japan.
Click here to check them out.



These are the ones that I am currently in love with!

Don't be put off by the Japanese shoe sizing! I got it wrong the first time, and bought the black pair in size 24. They are too small for me to wear (not for lack of trying). But my other 3 pairs are size 25.

Here is the table that I use now to figure out shoe sizes when buying online. So far the black pumps are my only fail, and that's because I just guessed at a size (which realistically, was never going to end well).

I'd really love to show you some of the other items I've bought from Yumetenbo. They have some really unique items (along with some really bizarre ones) for really cheap prices. The quality can be hit and miss, but mostly I've loved the pieces I've bought from there. 

I'm going to try and take some decent pictures to post up here soon. Whilst it's not that exciting, I'd really like to share my style with the world.
So keep an eye out here for more things coming soon!
Oh and with my new found blogging enthusiasm, I created a Facebook page for my blog! 
So please go like my page so you can have me pop up on your feed every now and then.

I hope you are all doing wonderfully.
