Dress | Bill + Mar*
Shoes | Kurt Geiger

Firstly, just how perfect is this dress!! When I first saw this dress in Bill + Mar’s twitter picture, I absolutely fell in love with it. I absolutely just love this print; it’s perfect for the summer and even better for the festival season. The marble print is something that stands out in the Bill + Mar Spring/Summer 2013 collection and is used on midi skirts, crop tops, jackets and jumpers, genius right? The new collection has been available to preview online for a while now but has just become available to buy online also, the only problem is… it’s hard to resist spending your every last penny on a whole new Bill + Mar wardrobe! 

I wanted to keep the styling simple for this piece; I mean the print is enough to wear alone, so I paired it with my Kurt Geiger flatforms and a pair of glitter socks and ta-da! For all you made in Chelsea fans that have desperately been trying to hunt down this dress as seen on Rosie Fortescue I hope I’ve helped :) I know how annoying it can be seeing an amazing dress on a celeb and not knowing where it is from!

I was so happy when I received this Bill + Mar pleione marble print maxi dress because I was hoping the quality of it will match the price of the dress and it certainly did! It is a little pricey but if you want something that’s different with a quirky edge from what you’ll find in all the high street stores and that is of a good quality then you’ll love this website. The quality definitely matches the price, the material is so soft and has a slight silk feel to it. The fabrics really light and airy and would be perfect for the summer or to wear abroad, I'll be taking this on holiday with me this summer to wear in the evening. You can also find some lovely, quirky and much cheaper pieces in the Bill + Mar sale, it’s definitely worth having a look!

Has anyone else purchased anything from here and can’t resist wanting to get more?

HOW TO: DIY Crop Top!

Trousers | Topshop (old)
Shoes | Urban Outfitters £55
Bag | Zara £40
Knitted Jumper | Topshop (old)

I picked up this plain white men’s t-shirt from Primark for just £2 so I could give myself a little DIY task. I find these are so cheap you can just experiment with them however you want to and it doesn’t matter if they go wrong. Luckily for me I really like how this DIY CROP TOP turned out. I wanted to go for an off the shoulder look but I also wanted to make it cropped so decided to do so with a secure knot in the centre, this top was pretty oversized before I altered it but tying a small knot is just so simple and really gives the garment a more defined shape. I also love the look of the knotted centre.

I hope it’s pretty straightforward to follow the steps I’ve given you if you do want to try this out for yourself. I wanted to get a top that was big on me so opted for this men’s one in a small but you might want to get it bigger or smaller depending on the style you’re aiming for. This makes a perfect little summer top and goes great with trouser or even a nice midi skirt :) I wore mine with my pale blue polka dot trousers when I went to the beach with Ashley last week.
