Underneath the mango tree - as the song goes - wearing a gorgeous beige linen midi dress with shirred bodice & puff sleeves from Dissh (seriously great quality & low level crushing) styled up with a pair of gold metallic leather pointy-toed heels with buckles from Wittner, a cute little blue & beige handbag with gold hardware that was given to me for Christmas by my aunt & a selection of gold, silver, beige & blue sparkly Indian bangles to complete the look & add a touch of daytime sparkle.
