Tea Roses

Tea n Rose dress c/o Boutique Onze, Rebecca Minkoff bag, H&M wedges,
bracelets c/o KV Bijou & Keltie Leanne Designs, necklace c/o Brooklyn Designs
I don’t think I could think of a more perfect summer dress: red (“my colour,” as my mum says), floral, femme and comfortable. This little number from Boutique Onze will undoubtedly be on heavy rotation in my closet, and already proved to be the perfect lounge-in-the-park piece last night when I had a cider and relaxed with a couple friends on the field (including Emaan, who took these pictures…thanks girl!). 
I’m currently in the middle of a crazy apartment hunt and it is driving me mental…of course I should have expected this, but literally every place that I’ve stumbled upon and liked has just one major detraction: not enough space, not enough light, not the best location, etc etc. You can’t always get what you want, but what I need is good lighting, a balcony, great location and a good utilities plan…so rental gods above?? Please help me.

    I cannot believe you're wearing a sleeveless dress with bare legs and sandals so early in the year, pally – and frankly, it's making me crazy jealous. The fact that it's super cute doesn't hurt, either, of course 😉 Sorry I've been so crappy at commenting lately… especially since I don't even have a real excuse. Email me – I need an update!

    I love this dress and red really is a beautiful color on you! As far as apartment hunting goes, never forget that you can't change location… Everything else mostly, you can always modify.

    This is absolutely the most perfect summer dress ever. You look so stunning in these photos!!! I love the longer belt like that too, I never thought to pair red with brown accessories but you've definitely inspired me to try 🙂

    Alex, best of luck on your apartment hunt. It isn't always easy but I'm sure you'll find something lovely. Maybe a little blogger house-warming when you do??… And yes, there is nothing like a red dress in the warm months + I love it with the whiskey hued leather touches too! xo

    This dress looks amazing on you! Perfect fit and cut.

    I'm currently apartment hunting as well and it's just a tad stressful. But with anything, it'll all work itself out (somehow)…
