one more fcuk

Dress: FCUK, Boots: LF. Fedora: Street vendor. Bag: East village shop. Jewellery: street vendors & LF

Where did I get this dress? I know it's FCUK, but I have to actually THINK where did I get it from? it's been about 4 years. I think I got it during one of their sales. My fave type of dress is short with long sleeves. Not an easy combination to find but FCUK seems to do a few. I wear cycling shorts under it since it is a mini.
I LOVE this crochet vest!!! I only got it last week at a second hand shop. Followers will know I twittered about it while still standing in the shop wearing it. I loved it that much. (when I see stuff I like or buy, I've started posting tweets at the time and/or include a cell pic). I can't wait to wear over all sorts, including in the Autumn.
You guys know these LF boots by Jeffrey Campbell already ; - )

  1. Short length and long sleeves are the best combination! Open back is always an added bonus too. You look great, very bohemian.

  19. Karen,
    I enjoy your blog. Very strong photos, but I think they would gain a new edge if you take some interacting with other people or with more people in the background.

    LOVE your blog. Your outfits are interesting and vary every post. I don't understand why fashiontoast is so popular. Everyone should come read wheredyourgetthat instead.

  27. Melissa - its like a cowboy heel that has an angle at the back. Know what I mean? Its very comfortable. I have long narrow feet and the shoe is narrow so if your the same, then they should be ok.

    get them!!!! I'm so bad.... lol...

    Sexyin thecity - I know!! That's why I got them because they are such a good enough version with less $$$ - thank you : )

    Anon Coward - everyone has their favourites. Plus your naming a blogger who has been blogging for years! I just started this year so am the new kid on the block. Thank you though for the comment and support : ))
