Being a blogger as Summer rolls around inevitably means an influx of swimwear based press releases arriving in your inbox. I try to read and respond to each and every one, but as much as I appreciate a good bikini I can’t find myself getting truly excited about them when I’m not a fan of wearing them myself. Recently an e-mail popped up that featured
Bahimi. I clicked through to the website and had a browse and whilst the bikinis are rather lovely it was the collection of jewellery that really grabbed my attention.
Dress: Topshop (here) | Shoes: Primark (current stock) | Necklace c/o Bahimi
I purchased both the dress and the shoes when I went over to Cardiff on my birthday and had some pennies to spend however I wished. The dress was £25 in the Topshop sale and I fell head over heels for the paisley print and the high-low hem line. I was on the lookout for more summery pieces but I couldn’t leave this behind, the relaxed fit and longer sleeves make it perfect for this in-between weather we’ve been having lately.
I had seen the shoes featured on a few blogs lately so when I saw these at £10 I just couldn’t resist- so much for streamlining my shoe collection! I also picked up another pair of sandals in Primark so the five pairs I sold on ebay how now entirely been replaced, oops!
The necklace from Bahimi seemed to work perfectly with this slightly boho outfit. At £9 it’s excellent value for such a detailed and heavy piece and I have had fun amusing the cat with the jangling noise when I walk! I have my eye on a few pieces on the website, enough for a seperate wish list post I think as well as a couple of the bikinis should I get brave enough to wear one when I hopefully get away later in the year!
What have you been buying lots of lately?
It’s not my kind of thing (too heavy looking) but it looks nice on you esp with the paisley dress, which is definitely my kind of thing. I have bought a fair few dresses in charity shops recently which is bad!!!! X
That’s a gorgeous statement necklace; I really like the coins, and I love how you’ve styled it! xxx
I love this outfit, you look so chic and relaxed!

Love that necklace and I love how you’ve paired it with this dress! I love the paisley print and the relaxed style of it 🙂 xx
The necklace is amazing! In fact I was looking at something quite similar on Not on the High Street the other day.
Whoooaaa! That’s stunning…
I’m like you, I won’t get into a bikini just for a shoot for the blog – it needs to be a real holiday! Brands should provide these too right? 😉

That dress is just gorgeous on you, Laura. And the necklace is so, so pretty x
oooh Like this! I’ve been buying knitwear (not the best choice at the start of warmer weather, but hey ho), I love fine knit cardigans for summer evenings but a few lovely chunky knits ready for autumn have snuck in there too!
THE perfect necklace! I absolutely adore chunky boho pieces like that one. And the perfect outfit to team it with <3 I'm tempted by some of the anklets, though not sure I could pull them off! x
Bohemian babin’ to the max! Paisley print is so underrated, I absolutely love it and that dress is perfection on you! Your necklace is a real stunner, I love the coin detailing. Looks so fab on you Laura! And careful, Miss “Mariah” Mae being the diva she is might start demanding her own boho necklace before too long 😉 😉
