One thing to know about me is that I am an obsessive list maker, I'm the type to make a list of what lists I have to make. When I have things I want to buy, I'll very rarely purchase on a whim, it'll be something I've looked into, I love reading reviews and figuring out how to style something before I own it. However, I stumbled across these shoes on eBay and for once, I impulse bought!</div>
<br />
They're by the brand <a href="http://www.koicouture.co.uk/" target="_blank">Koi Couture</a> and I bought them through the eBay seller <a href="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Miss-Image-UK" target="_blank">Miss Image</a>, I will admit, not everything in their store is exactly to my taste, however these shoes were calling out to me - they're chunky heeled Mary Janes and have a real Japanese 'kawaii' feel about them - hence my idea to team them with a pair of adorable frilly socks (you know the Topshop ones that everyone and their mother owns).<br />
<br />
I'm a high heel aficionado and because of this, I have pretty much trained my feet to survive in heels however there were no survival instincts needed for these shoes - the sole is cushioned and it's like walking around on marshmallows, I swear!<br />

I definitely went for a very girly, cutesy look, with a floral A-line dress (as seen on <a href="http://kissthemgoodbye.net/teenwolf/displayimage.php?album=82&pid=163918#top_display_media" target="_blank">Holland Roden</a>) and pastel coloured accessories!</div>

For my first fashion post, I thought I'd take inspiration from the 70s boho trend that's been sweeping shops, magazines and runways recently.</div>

I've had my eye on this dress, the Free People Dream Cloud dress in Ivory, for years now after seeing it on <a href="http://taylorpictures.net/displayimage.php?pid=124394&fullsize=1" target="_blank">Taylor Swift</a> and actress <a href="http://crystalreed.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=10267&fullsize=1" target="_blank">Crystal Reed</a>. I was lucky enough to find it brand new on eBay for a reasonable price - miracles do happen! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dress is perfect for summer, light and airy, and I paired it with a pair of tasseled boots I found in a store in London, I call them my Pocahontus boots, a black floppy hat from Amazon and a pair of sunglasses my boyfriend gave me after finding them on the ground at Bestival last summer (who says romance is dead?)</div>

The location is a local farm trail only ten minutes walking distance from my house, I'm lucky enough to live in a location equal distance away from the town centre and beautiful rural scenery.<br />

The Flash Tattoos were my part of the June Glossybox. It was the first box I received from them and I couldn't have been happier, along with the tattoos I also received a gel nail polish, face wipes, an anti-cellulite cream that works <i>miracles</i> and a reviving mist that doubles up as a makeup setting spray. I can't wait for my next box to arrive, I hear it's France themed - c'est magnifique! </div>
