I sense a feeling so strange as I'm watching you change

On Sunday a few of us headed for a glorious day out in the summer sunshine. The annual Llangollen International Eisteddfod was coming to a close and what better way to spend your Sunday than drinking warm beers with your best ones, listening to music and playing childhood games. We ate lunch, trotted around the local shops, and soaked in the beautiful sites of Llangollen (one of my favourite places on earth) The sun and I aren't really the best of friends, I get hot and bothered and if I'm not extremely careful I will burn to a crisp in a matter of seconds. Being pale isn't always interesting, just painful and a pain in the backside.

I don't know about you guys but when I stumble across a site that has everything in one place, I get rather excited. I can spend hours (daily) scouring through different website on the hunt for the best of the best vintage inspired items and often I'm left disappointed, venturing back to the comforts of eBay where I know I'm safe and guaranteed to find something. But just the other day I found sheinside. Sheinside is a platform for designers to showcase their items, a bit like ASOS but cheaper and a bit more varied in style. Of course I headed straight for the dresses and I thought I would share a few just to show you guys how to get the look from each decade without breaking the bank.

The Embroidery Anglaise

I decided to have an early start today as my insomnia is now becoming unbearable, I spruced myself up in my favourite summer dress. This delicately patterned dress is perfect for a summers afternoon, although I'm not sure the summer will grace us with it's presence this year. I spent the whole night catching up on oh comely articles drinking copious amounts of tea and surrounding myself with the beautiful sounds of Bon Iver. 

Anyone else suffer with insomnia please share your stories with me.
