This dress, known by my boyfriend as my 'carousel dress', is my absolute favourite - I can't believe I've never shown it to you guys before!
It's made by a brand called Yumi, an inexpensive brand that makes the sweetest little dresses - so they're perfect for me! You can find them at USC in the UK, or Forever21 in the States.
To be honest, any dress I find that has bunnies, ducks, ponies & bears on it pretty much has my entire heart, immediately - and combined with it's gorgeous indigo colour, silky shimmery fabric and a floaty, whimsical shape that's somewhere between a school uniform and a classy-but-casual evening dress, I completely fell in love. It hangs on the front of my wardrobe (so you may have seen it from bedroom photos!) and I love it just as much as now as I did months and months ago, when I first bought it :)

Anyway - I'm so so sorry for my absence! I've been a bad blogger and will burn in internet hell, I know. It was my boyfriend's birthday not too long ago so I've been spending alot of time with him, English coursework is due in very very soon and - my usual excuse! - I haven't had access to a camera. I'm sorry :(
I promise to make it up to you! I've done a LOT of shopping as of late, and as such have all sorts of little treasures to show off, such as 2 new dresses, a new jumper, and - my very very favourite thing - my terribly beautiful & terribly exciting new coat.
I hope you've all been well! What have you got up to lately? And what's made you smile today?

Here's a picture of some pink cupcakes to make up for it :D
Love, Holly ♥

Oh shoot, I wanted that dress so bad!! It looks great on you, I never thought of pairing it with white tights, but I love it.

Is that carousel dress made of silk? It looks really pretty, I have to agree. =)
