Sunday Picnic

pretty, pretty parcel
<3



A couple of weeks ago i decided to make a purchase from the online store, milk vintage. I had first heard about Milk through a friend's blog, and being a massive vintage lover (as you all know!) i immediately fell in love with it. There were so many gorgeous items, but i just couldn't go past this darling picnic dress...







dress - milk vintage
belt - valleygirl
clogs - hobbs
bag - sportsgirl

It's so perfect for the summer weather here in perth right now. I wore it this afternoon, but i plan on wearing it to quite a few sunday picnics in the very near future!
and it goes well with my clogs too
:)

and incase your wondering, i got that amazing little bag from sportsgirl at the beginning of the week! I had been eyeing it for quite some time, but just never got around to buying it.
i couldn't resist it anymore though so i finally caved in! It also came in a pretty floral pattern too which i adored, but i thought the cream and tan would go with a lot more.
What do you all think???

<3
love and hearts,

Claire

  35. Looks like my floral pillbox bag, and yes, much MUCH easier to match in cream. I like how the store wrapped the package in old fabric. It's so unique.
