Wow does the sunny spring weather make for better shooting! I’m so in love with Callum’s photos for this outfit, and I’m delighted that they do justice to what has to be one of the most stunning dresses now residing in my wardrobe. I’ve been a fan of Dahlia for a long, long time, with their quirky vintage-inspired pieces and beautiful fabric choices, so I was very excited about receiving their Sophia dress to photograph. I adore the textured jacquard fabric and the bow-back, which elevate this from your standard LBD, and it’s demure but sexy at the same time. Perfect. As always, I went for playful accessories to add a touch of my personality to the look – this ASOS OMG clutch is just the most funย little bag ever. I love how the splots clashe with theย hounds-toothย foil nails I got done at the Boohoo press day last week – mixed prints ftw! x

    That dress is beautiful, but then I find most Dahlia dresses are (spend far too long on their website swooning over their stuff!)
    Love your quirky clutch and shoes too! In fact I just love your entire outfit haha.
