The sun-seeker wears Prada? I've been looking for an excuse to wear my Christmas present for ages now, and this gorgeous weather is the perfect reason to rock the sunnies.

You may be able to tell that I had a lot of fun taking these pictures. Anyone who knows me is fully aware that I'm completely in my element when I can wear a pretty dress. The arrival of the sun over the past couple of days has made me so happy, and I'm sure this is the first of many summery dress outfit posts. 

Pastels have always appealed to me, so I'm loving everything available this S/S. Unfortunately, I'm also saving like crazy, so many of my outfits this year will be past season ones - hopefully I can still give you guys some summertime inspo. My personal inspiration at the moment is this gorgeous kimono - something I've had lurking at the back of my wardrobe for a couple of years now. Kimonos are a great, comfortable cover-up and this one looks fahbulous teamed with a pastel pallete. A super comfortable, easy to throw on, stylish outfit? Yes please!
