My Picks of The Whitepepper Summer Sale


Hey guysss,
In today's post I have picked my favourite pieces from The Whitepepper Summer Sale which is now on! (control yourselves ladies.. your bank accounts will not thank you!!). I absolutely adore The Whitepepper, their pastel pieces just hit the 'Dusk darling' nail right on the head. The sale is really the only time I can actually excuse myself to buy a little summin' summin' from their brand so I jump right on the wagon whenever I see it hit the site! Anyhoo, on with the show...


Just take a look at this beauty would ya! Ah.. the pleats, the collar, the perfect blush colour..What a dream! I would style with the top button undone and little white sandals..please?



..So, I am not really sure if I can rock a smock like some can (rock a smock..hehe..ok I'll shutup). However, I think this piece is too delightful not to place into my 'Picks Post'..! This dress is totally what I imagine a modern day Alice in Wonderland to prance about in... with added socks, mary janes & headband.(..it's an outfit waiting to happen)





 PU Leather Biker jacket
I think this jacket is the perfect way to wear a pastel colour and still look tough! I'm not really sure what weather I would wear it in but.. Oh, how I dream of it as the perfect accompaniment to a flowy white maxi dress...
Lastly, another pair of cleated sole black boots - as if I don't have enough already! They are just perfect for any season!  With jeans & a sweater in A/W and little white socks & a sundress in S/S I mean come on, you cannot go wrong! 


Okily Dokily, that's all for now folks! What do you think of my picks? Don't forget to check out The Whitepepper website STAT because the stuff tends to sell out sharpish in the sale!!

Hope you are having a glorious sun-filled relaxing June....
LOVEEEEEEEEE

Primark Preview - Spring/Summer Shoes

Hey guyss,

Here's a little preview of my favourite picks from Spring Summer shoes that will be in Primark this year. There's some lovely shoes coming in! Now, I have been told before I have quite a different (ugly) taste in shoes!! I like my shoes either chunky, buckled and cool OR sleek 90's heels OR pastel themed prettyness.. therefore some shoes in the post may bit a bit Marmite (loveitorhateit) either way I love seeing what's in Primark stores so here you go:

1) The first pair are a pair of Mary Jane pumps, they are adorable and very similar to a pair I have loved from Topshop - perfect with a pair of white frilly sock and a sun dress!
2) The second are a really cool buckled pair of brogue style shoes - I really like these, they look almost vintage-esque - really different for Primark! 
3)The third pair are a dupe for the Dr.Martins, I have a dupe from Boohoo in white that I love, I'd love to get this black pair too.

1)First is a very 90s style heel, I love the simple black strap and buckle. I would prefer if the buckle was silver or black but either way for the price these are gorgeous.
2) The second pair is a lovely peep toe boot with a buckle as well - I've been eyeing up a peep toe boot from ASOS which is very similar.. I like the chunky heel too:).
3) Lastly is a VERY MARMITE pair of chunky sandals, I have a couple of friends who would cringe massively at the sight of these chunky, Gothic beauties - (you know who you are) - I, however, love them!! I think they would look so cool in contrast with a floral summer dress or with a pair of disco pants on a night out...I knoooow.. they're hideous... but that's why I love them, someone has to!!

AAhh, pastel perfection has come again to Dusk darling style. 
1)The first pair are a beautiful white sandal, to be worn with a 50s style sun dress and red toe polish! 
2)The second are harking back to my 5 year old self - my mumma always told me Jellies would give me blisters .. and they did.... I didn't care... they were beautiful.. I MUST HAVE.
3) Last off all a cute mint sandal - perfect with a pastel themed outfit, nice for a daytime summer party where you want to dress up but not wear heels!



Rightoh - that's all for now folks! Hope you like my Primark posts? I really love seeing what's in Primark since their website never shows everything. What are you lusting after for Spring/Summer?

LOVEEEEEEEEEEE

Catwalk Crush : Alice & Olivia

Hey Guysssssssssssssssss,
Just a quick post to show the Alice & Olivia Ready To Wear A/W 14/15 Collection shown yesterday in New York.. I can't even... just.so.cute.




As if the 'spooky fairytale' set wasn't to die for enough the A&O girl displayed was lovely - feminine yet quirky with a dark side. This collection really spoke to me - my style tends to be quite girly and playful (see skirts, sparkles & lacey collars) yet I also like to exercise my 'mini goth' side on the odd occasion (see blackout, crescent moons & cut outs) . Anyway, just take a look at the images and you will see what I mean, I am a big fan.. (Plus the models hair looks a lot like mine does in the morning ;) haha) 



See the rest of the looks on my pinterest board: wwwpinterest.com/duskw/A&O


See you soon!
LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee

Pretty in pink never fails! I am lusting after matching separates so much season.. I would wear this to a cute afternoon Valentines date!


Casual & Cool and a little bit Cheeky! This outfit is a bit tongue in cheek with the 'kiss me' tee, perfect for a quick jaunt around Camden lock or a skate date!!

Keeping it classic, can't go wrong with a lnd (little navy dress) and red lips & heels to match!

✿ ❀ ❁ Vintage Inspired ✿ ❀ ❁


Hey guys, just a quick 'personal style' post for you! :) 



This is what I wore the other day for a trip out shopping in the late Summer/ early Autumn sunshine! I thought the outfit was a little bit vintage looking hence my crafty cameo style photoshopping haha. The top is a little cropped t shirt style jumper from Topshop - it was a little bit pricey for what it is but I bought it with a gift card so I felt ok buying it because it is so pretty!! I think this thin knit in a t shirt cut looks so cute and 1950's style, I can't wait to wear it with a midi length a-line skirt now that its a bit chilly! I thought the crochet detail would really compliment this adorable lacy skirt I got for my birthday from my boyfriend's sister (thankyouuu!) I think it also has a nice vintage-y style to it and it reminds me of delicate petticoats *swoon* I added a pair of pearl earrings (again a gift, I'm such a lucky girl) to really top off the 50's look and trotted on my merry way :) 





Top - topshop
Skirt - h&m (gift)
Shoes - Primark
Earrings - unknown (gift)

Now that the cold winds are really starting to blow in London I think this is definitely the last of my pasty white pins you shall have to suffer until next year (cheers from all!) 

I am pretty excited to be piling on the layers and wearing Primark super cosy tights (have you tried these yet??!! SO COSY.. the packaging DOES NOT lie) and of course my (almost) favourite time of the year is approaching, Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!!! What are you going to be for Halloween? I was thinking of doing some costume idea posts, what do you think?

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE

Drop Waist Wonder

If there was ever a time to try out the drop waist, the Summer of 2013 has delivered it - with the release of The Great Gatsby and an influx of 20's fizz into the high and high-street fashion worlds! 

This fit is not an easy one to master and I have chosen my favourite dresses from the high-street market to show you how I will be rocking this lower then low waistline!
  
Zara


I love this lacy Zara number, the midi length gives the drop waist lovely proportions and I think this outfit would make a lovely holiday look or at home casual look ( if its sunny where you are!)
All these pieces are also on sale right now - so snap them up quick! 

ASOS & boohoo


This is a more casual way to wear the drop waist but just as pretty! I love the simplicity of the silhouette in this ASOS dress and the warm mustard colour just makes me swoon! For added perfection wear with a plum coloured floppy hat and buckled ankle boots, truly lovely!

(Boots & Hat - boohoo.com, Dress - ASOS)

The White Pepper & Topshop


The last way I would style a drop waist is with this adorable 'The White Pepper' lemon shirt dress, pair with on-trend white accessories from Topshop and you've got yourself a preppy outfit that would put Cher Horowitz  to shame. (google it) 



That's all folks! 
Hope you like my styling, How would you wear your drop waist piece and is there one you are eyeing up at the moment?

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE
