Brunch

 

Bench jacket*/ Motel Rocks Nessy dress/ Primark sunglasses & flatforms/ La Moda bag*

The sun has very kindly made an appearance over Bristol these past couple of days so I took advantage of it by giving my new Motel Rocks dress its first outing for brunch with my boyfirend. He moves out of his uni flat today, and after one to many celebratory wines the night before I decided to indulge in a breakfast at one of my favourite haunts in Bristol, Aqua. It's an amazing Italian with restaurants in Bristol and Bath, if you haven't been and you live in the area I urge you to check them out, the food is amazing and they have a really good loyalty card programme.  I fell in love with the Nessy dress after picking up this one in blue in the staff sample sale a few months back, and obviously I had to get it in white! It's also been reduced in the sale now (annoying) for just £20, so go snap it up whilst its still in stock. I paired it with this gorgeous new jacket from Bench, if you know me you know I love my palm prints so this tropical bomber is my idea of jacket-heaven. It's part of their summer festival range and is actually in the sale now too! So there you are- you can now purchase this outfit for a bargain, and don't forget to use my discount code 'luciagrace' for 20% off your Motel Rocks order :)

White Out

OASAP shirt*/ Zara skort (similar here + here)/ Primark flatforms/ Dixi midi ring, circle infinity ring, stacked rings + quartz necklace*/ 47 Brand hat*/ Marc Jacobs watch

Whites (as you all already know) is one of my favorite trends this year. I love how clean cut it looks, and by just throwing a few things of the same shade together looks effortlessly stylish. I kept it monochrome by accessorizing with a black hat and shoes, and teamed it with my new Dixi jewelry. I also now have a new found love for white and silver worn together, how gorgeous are these pieces? I've been after some unique and subtle finger-wear after seeing some Hortense pieces on the likes of Rumi Neely and co, so was to delighted to find these stunning bits on Shop Dixi. Although I haven't stopped wearing them since opening the package, I think my favorite piece is the wishbone knuckle ring. It's delicate yet eye-catching enough to stand out, it also fits on my ring finger down to the bottom which also looks pretty cool next to the circle ring. The quartz necklace also went perfectly with this outfit, I love the rawness of the jagged quartz and how it looks with the silver chain. That's all for now, I hope your all having a good week!

Little Birds

Volcom jacket & skirt*/ 47 Brand snapback*/ Marc by Marc Jacobs watch/ Ebay shoes/ Thrifted chain & crop

Hi everyone, today's outfit post features my new Volcom gear! I came home from Cornwall last week to these wonderful peices and couldn't wait to shoot them. I love a good skater skirt and the cute print on this one makes it perfect for summer, whilst still ticking that monochrome trend box might I add! I wore it with the jacket and snapback to give it a little bit of a casual edge and my big white wedges just because. Ha. I'm off to London today to have a mooch about with my mum and to an LCF workshop day thing tomorrow, I'm excited/ nervous but will hopefully be meeting some people on my course which will be nice! Hope you're all having a fabulous week so far! Stay tuned for some LDN outfit posts ;)

Varsity Look for Karma Clothing

Karma Clothing New York over-sized varsity tee*/ Marc by Marc Jacobs watch/ Ebay shoes/ Thrifted earings & chain

This week I've teamed up with Karma Clothing to shoot a look for their upcoming lookbook. Sportswear is one of my favorite trends this season, so I was more than content to be given the Varsity look to style. I was also sent these amazing leggings, but sadly they didn't fit! I styled the tee without them anyway as I think it makes such an nice dress on its own. I've had my eye on the Topshop ones, but wanted something with a bit more colour and this New York tee was just the ticket. I paired it with my white wedges (can I call them wedges?) because lets face it who doesn't love dressing up an over-sized tee with some kick ass shoes? I think gold jewelry looks great with varsity gear- but kept it subtle as not to look like a wannabe gangster of some sort ha. 

I hope you've all enjoyed fathers day, I've had a lovely time catching up with the family and munching on some seriously good food at Zizzi's.

ALSO!! Those of you after a Zara Skort, I've just come across some lookalikes on Ebay here for £3.99! I just ordered two haha! (thanks to Kavita for spotting these)

Cornwall Photo Diary

Yesterday I arrived home from a short break in Cornwall with my family and Dave. We were lucky enough to get a couple days of sun and visit some of my favorite spots in the area, although it was a bit to cold for a surf which I was just a bit miffed about. On our first day we went to The Eden Project, I fell in love with the place a little when I was there, hence this post being mostly Eden photo-heavy. Recently I've had a bit of a thing for plants and walking around the jungle-esqe, tropical bio dome was pretty spectacular. I also had the most amazing paella in one of the domes- there's nothing quite like fresh Cornish seafood. As you can see my hair didn't cope to well with the humidity but I thoroughly enjoyed myself none the less. On the other days we took a trips to Padstow, Polzeath and Port Issac and enjoyed some lovely food, shops and beaches. Although it was only for a few days the seaside is always a wonderful get away and I don't think I'll ever tire of Cornwall and all it's quirky glory. 

Clothes wise I tried to keep it summery despite the brisk beachy winds, my Zara skort is obviously my favorite item of choice currently and my Topshop aztec dress is doing the rounds again. I also wore my trusty Levi's, I'm pretty sure these baby's will be with me forever, one of my most treasured pieces. After getting something ridiculous like 150,000 notes on tumblr, my Levi's bum and I have gone sort of viral haha. My dad even got an email from Pinterest the other day with the photo in it, and some sweetheart from Germany offered me over £100 for them- crazy considering I picked them up in a charity shop for £5!

This post is actually my 100th! So it seems appropriate now to thank all my lovely readers for your continuous support and for reading what I have to say and making my little corner of the internet something to be proud of.
