Spring Dresses

1, 2, 3

I was browsing the Topshop website the other night, looking for some ideas for spring seeing as it's supposedly just around the corner.. These three dresses caught my eye. I love the pastel colours of all three of them. The cut of the first dress would suit me as I'm quite petite. I love the belt on the second dress (unfortunately it's not on the site any more so I can't link to it) and I love the way it cinches in the waist and it's bang on trend with the peter pan collar. This dress came in this lovely baby blue colour and also a dusty pink. The third dress is more summery I think but would look great with a cream cardigan. I wish I could afford to buy all three dresses, I could see myself wearing them a lot!

I created a set on Polyvore using the second dress in the pink colour. This is what I came up with:

First post!

So.. I've decided to start a blog. I'm not quite sure where I'm going with this, I'll try not to abandon it. It can be one of my new year's resolutions actually (not that I ever bother making any).

I got the name, Strangeness & Charm from a Florence & The Machine song I downloaded off iTunes a few weeks ago. She's one of my favourite artists and I've seen her live twice. I should have been there the night this song was recorded in May but I couldn't find anyone to go with me so I had to sell my tickets on eBay.

I don't think I'm going out New Year's Eve but here's a very Florence inspired outfit I put together on Polyvore. I don't own any of these pieces but if I had a couple of hundred quid going spare, I would definitely buy them.. especially the boots!
