Lust of the Week: Finery London Elmington Dress
It's no secret that I love Finery - in fact, I recently introduced it to some of the girls in work and now there are boxes arriving at the office almost on a daily basis. This dress has topped my Finery must have list this week, for its simple yet feminine construction and contrasting back detail. Now if only the weather would improve so I could actually wear it...
Outfit: Oversized Basics
Top: Zara (similar at ASOS)
Jeans: Zara (similar at Topshop)
Sundays for me are all about easy, comfy outfits that don't require much thought. Enter these basics that I picked up in the Zara sale; loose, oversized pieces, they're the comfiest things next to my pjs, plus they create a subtle 70s-inspired silhouette that's perfect for this season's biggest trend.
Outfit: Red Finery London Dress
Dress: Finery London
Bag: Zara (similar)
Finery is one of my go-to stores for simple, well-cut pieces in interesting silhouettes. At a really accessible price point (this dress is currently in the sale for only £22), my wardrobe is slowly becoming filled with the brand - plus everything looks a lot more expensive than it actually is, which is always a bonus! Worn with giraffe print sliders and a boxy cross body, this dress is perfect for long summer days, and can be dressed up with a pair of heels too.
Lust of the Week: Grey Obi Belt Dress
Ever since this dress came into my life my obsession with obi belts has been a very real and long standing one. This light grey (it comes in navy too) one from ASOS has only added to this; the perfect example of soft tailoring, it strikes the balance smart and casual really well. I'd wear it with a pair of pointy flats for a slightly dressed down approach.
Travel: Myrtos Beach, Kefalonia
Bikini: Missguided
Sunglasses: ASOS
A quick beach look from Myrtos Beach in Kefalonia. Often dubbed Greece's best beach, it sits between two mountains and is totally worth the steep and winding drive down (Captain Corelli's Mandolin fans may recognise it from the mine explosion scene in the film). The Aegean Sea is probably the best sea I've swum in; totally clear and calm, it's the perfect kind of water to cool off in, and just look at the way it blends in with the sky - beautiful! The beach is also free of any commercialism - no loud music, no watersports, just a small shack-like beach bar - making it completely natural and serene. Perfect.
