An Outing With Poppy

Recently I've not been able to get out much again, but this week I was feeling up for a little outing one afternoon, to make the most of the beautiful spring sunshine. Living very close to this beautiful pound, which sits next to a green surrounded by old farming cottages, makes me feel very lucky. It's such a beautiful place, full of happy memories and only five minutes down the road which makes it a great spot for a change of scene after being stuck at home. 

For the occasion I wore my new dress by Poppy England. As soon as I saw this dress I was dreaming of spring and summer picnics. Pimms and strawberries. I love the print which was inspired by Kew Gardens, another beautiful place which isn't too far from my home town. One of my favourite things about Poppy dresses is that they are a family run British brand that design all their own prints. 

This was the first time I've worn a summer dress this year, and it made me feel fantastic. You can't beat that feeling of putting on a summer dress for the first time in the year knowing and welll, in Britain, hoping for more good weather days to come. 
The detail that's gone into this dress is incredible, it's been so well made with every detail thought out, from the lining which you don't always find with this style of dress, to the print detail, just look at the woodland hem with all types of animals running around. The shape is very flattering for all sizes which makes it a perfect dress to wear on a hot sunshine filled day. I'm excited for more outings in this dress, I'm hoping to take it out for a picnic next! 

If you would like a stunning dress by Poppy then you can use the code LOOKINGGLASS15 for 15% off at the checkout valid until 30/5/15.

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend and are enjoying some lovely weather.

  1. Gorgeous dress, you look lovely. I love that the dress has proper sleeves, so many are capped sleeves which aren't particularly flattering for me.
