mischief managed

Today I'm popping out to meet my friend Mandy for a spot of lunch, girly gossip and window shopping. As ever it is long overdue, but perfect timing because after months of late nights, top knots and red pen all over pieces of paper, I've finished, printed and bound all of my final year work for my degree, and sat the exam to go alongside it all. All that's left is to pop in to Uni and upload my magazine digitally so I can share it with people(!!) and I'm done. In turn, this means that you won't be subjected to my endless droning on about things that no-one cares about (my dissertation, for one - last mention, I promise!) and there'll be more regular posts on this ol' blog again! Good times all around.

As a proud ambassador for Ever Ours, I got to choose a piece from their boutique to show off to my readers this month. I knew I had to have this tunic as soon as I saw it, and it was one of those pieces that you look at once, and go back again... and again... and again, to gawp at. It feels very Marc Jacobs to me, and is perfect for that Sixties' idealistic English summer look. I've decided that it'll look even prettier accompanied by a mint green boucle or blazer jacket, so that's next on my hitlist for wardrobe additions. I'm also after a collar-esque necklace to pop underneath the collar of this dress, perhaps in a navy or black, to toughen things up for an evening look. Oh the possibilities!

Before I leave (or finish getting ready...!), I just wanted to draw your attention to this month's advertisers on my blog: Emmerliejay, Ever Ours and Matilda Wren. All three are blogs and stores that I visit regularly - and I ain't just sayin' that! - so I would definitely recommend having a click around to see what you can find! I'm a huge blog/store lurker, and have found lots of gems recently in the form of new blogs! Finally, the Cosmo Blog Awards 2012 are here already: it would mean the world to me if you could pop over and nominate Daisybutter.com for the Established (oo-er!) Fashion Blog category. There are hundreds of amazing blogs out there, but it'd be ever so lovely to be recognised for something that I love doing! ♥
