The New Nautical with Lilac Rose

10th July 2015
It’s been a while since I added a really beautiful summer day dress to my collection, my wardrobe used to be heaving with them but as a few years have passed by I seem to have either sold them or given them to charity. I have no idea why I did this, I can only assume I had taken temporary leave from my senses, but still, thanks to Lilac Rose I’ve boosted what I do have left with this slightly nautical little number by Emily and Fin.

Dress c/o Lilac Rose | Shoes: Esprit at Sarenza (alternative) | Necklace c/o Lee Renee Jewellery | Earrings c/o Joy

I’ve long admired Emily and Fin dresses on bloggers such as Char but hadn’t ever managed to purchase one for myself. I’m pretty besotted with this little number, it fits amazingly (after following advice to size down) and the attention to detail is brilliant- I love that it has pockets and the straps have cute button fastenings.

I dug out these Esprit sandals which I have since got rid off, and I now regret. I am slowly but surely getting rid of my super high heels, I just can’t cope since the whole broken foot and then back surgery thing and low, ladylike shoes like these are ideal. As with my summer dresses I have no idea what came over me when I decided to part with these, but I’ve found some lovely rose gold alternatives (listed above) which might have to make their way to me.

As these photos were taken during Britain’s few days of heatwave weather I decided to accessorise with my summeriest jewellery- my trusty banana necklace from Lee Renee and these super cheerful pineapple earrings that Joy sent my way last year.

Are you a fan of Emily and Fin dresses? Lilac Rose is newly launched as an online shop, having run two shops in Cambridge and Leamington Spa for some years. This could be a dangerous discovery for me…really dangerous.

    Hi. I like Emily and Fin dresses very much, they fit very well and are cotton, but I’d never buy one full-priced- they are too expensive. You are lucky to receive yet another flattering, beautiful dress in the space of a few weeks for free so I doubt your summer dress collection will remain sparse for too long! You look very, very pretty in it.
