I was out today when I saw it: a gorgeous vintage sheer maxi skirt. This prompted a conversation with the lovely shop assistant (from Clubhouse Lane Boutique) about the rise in popularity of maxi skirts and dresses for the summer season. And with skirts like this, why wouldn't you want to wear a maxi skirt this summer?

Although I love the colour of this skirt (Selena wore one to a photoshoot once, and it was absolutely lovely), I'm going to pull a Rachel Zoe and do a 'parallel universe' version of this:

Even though we're coming into spring now (or rather, we're supposed to be - right now it's the middle of a thunderstorm), there's a new jacket style that I'm loving right now: the aviator jacket.

I love the shoulder detail of this dress.

I finally have wedge shoes! I can't even being to express how happy these shoes make me. And they're really quite comfortable. Defiantly more so than heels anyway.
