{Pink Blazer: Vintage, Blue Dress: Vintage, Stockings/Socks: Topshop, Wedges: Jeffrey Campbell, Hat: Vintage}

A much overdue outfit post. The sun finally came out this morning so i raced as quickly as i could to catch the light and make the most of this beautiful day. I was feeling happy, playful, young and in love and can't believe how happy i was to have the warmth back on my skin. I love you, winter. I really do. You just make it a little hard to shoot photos sometimes, that's all. So with the sun shining brightly i quickly put together this outfit inspired by my cute little straw boater hat i found opshopping a few weeks ago. I've been looking for one like this for months but it's hard to come by the perfect shape that fits my head let alone one with cute little dry flowers and paper bows! All i'm missing now is my pastel coloured yacht, a picnic basket and chocolate coated strawberries, no?

I also found out some wonderful news this morning! Gary Pepper Vintage will be featured in the new issue of Peppermint Magazine that goes to print on Monday! I've been so overwhelmed by lovely magazines this week that i feel like i've kind of floated through the past couple of days on some sort of cloud. I'm excited to tell you all that over the next few months Gary Pepper will be featured in Covet Magazine, Glossy Magazine from the UK, Tres Chic Magazine from Spain, Candy Magazine from the Phillipines, and a 2-3 page spread in the new ebay magazine that should be released very soon! I also did a quick little interview with Fashion Clique this week that you can read here and had a lovely shout out on the RESCU.COM website that you can read here. I'll be sending more thank you's to all of you very very soon!

Now with all of the awkward self promotion aside, all i can say is i better stop enjoying myself so much and have my new collection in store by the end of the week! Also, my friend Charlotte is finally coming to visit this weekend so to my dearest Charlotte, i can't wait to see you :)))))
