This season I am inexplicably drawn to the colour blue, more specifically of the sugary sweet pastel variety. It’s not a colour I’ve ever expressed great love for before, but more and more I find myself heading towards it in shops and when browsing online. Luckily there is no shortage of it right now, and it suits me (I’m trying to forget my bright yellow phase of years gone by…)

A bit of a change of scenery for these photos, forced indoors thanks to a hail storm that lasted all afternoon- just typical when you have a photo session planned! Thankfully our conservatory get’s good light in the afternoon otherwise this dress would still be hanging up unworn! I’ve been very fortunate and sent several dresses from Hyrbid over the last few months and they never fail to make me feel amazing. They aren’t on the cheap end of the scale but are honestly worth every penny- I’ve got this little number (the Atherton style, also available in ivory) earmarked as a potential for a wedding in May as it’s so beautiful in it’s simplicity. What really makes this dress stand out for me is the collar, made out of satin for a gorgeous contrast effect. I thought the gold accessories worked well with the baby blue of the dress, but a pastel colour of any kind would lend itself equally well.
I hope everyone has today off work to sit back and relax. It feels like only hours ago that it was Christmas and yet here we are at the Easter Weekend already. I’m looking forward to spending a few days catching up with my brother who is home for the weekend (nicely timed with his Birthday tomorrow) and generally getting a break from the exhausting cycle of work, rest and play!
What do you have planned? What colours are you loving right now?
Absolutely love this dress! I’m always drawn to this shade of blue too, along with pretty much every other pastel shade available!

Wow this dress is so slinky! I love the colour and it really works with the grown up shape. You look lovely.
You look absolutely stunning, Laura! The dress is just gorgeous; I really love the collar. xxx
This is such a stunning dress and it looks amazing on you. You look so regal! (And in a good way, not the stuffy kind, of course.)
And I think this is one of those colors that can make a garment in a great style and cut look extra amazing, but doesn’t really do anything for casual wear. Anyway, it’s the perfect color for this dress. And you can really pull this shade off too.
Lovely dress its so classy and stylish. Reminds me of a Jackie O dress x
This looks amazing Laura. If I didn’t already have my outfit planned for my Mu’s wedding in May I’d definitely be considering this. The colour is beautiful and really suits you!
