This is actually what I wore yesterday, I love the burnt-out-orangey-rusty-brown colour of this Topshop dress I picked up in Birmingham on Tuesday. Paired with the purple cardigan and bright blue nails, This has to be my ultimate autumny/fall look. I love the floaty oversized arms too, makes me feel all 60's Marianne Faithful! I've fallen in love with Topshop again after a long love/hate relationship, Their fall/winter collection is beautiful! The colours are just perfect, the fabrics are perfect, the knits are beautiful plus they have all my key pieces spot on!

I had a good laugh the other day going through my Google Analytics traffic sources. Basically there is this part that tells you all the keywords people use in search engines to get to your blog,  Apart from the expected ones like "lily melrose" "llymlrs" and "ombre hair", There were some gems! Here are some of my favorites "llymlrs died" (Im hoping they were on about dyed hair, not that I actually died!) "jailbait leggings", "3000 word essay on frakenstein", "slutty playsuit" and about a billion misspellings of llymlrs! I dont know if many people use Analytics for their blogs, but its so worth it, it has the best stats counter and detailed explanations of traffic and how traffic increases/decreases! And if you already use it definitely go through your keywords! Its worth the lulz!

If you haven't noticed, I've disabled my Formspring account, some people ruined it for everyone, at the end of the day the haters won, so basically from now on if you have a question please tweet me rather than email (if you can...), I find it hard to reply to emails I get so many (important and spam!) I unfortunately tend to miss ones that need answering! I will try and write a FAQ in the next few days though so if you do have any questions that you think I need to talk about leave them in the comments!

  6. I saw that you had disabled your formspring. Never got around to saying it, but I'm really glad you did because some of the comments were just ridiculous!

    Also, very cute dress. I don't think I'd pick that color out myself, but it works on you!

  7. I am obsessed with anything and everything in burnt orange right now. That dress is just the thing I'm looking for to inject a bit of autumn into my wardrobe, do you know if they still have it in stock? X

  22. i love google analytics! most of my keywords seem to come from baking related stuff though.

    i am glad you got rid of your formspring lily, it seemed to be causing you too much grief.

    ReplyDelete

  24. Oh my! That is just a perfect outfit! I will so look at my keywords in google when I get home :) xx

  25. I tried on the black version of this dress the other day and it didn't look right on me at all, but it looks perfect on you! I also saw the cardigan in Primark earlier but couldn't make my mind up about it - you've inspired me to give it a whirl. At £7, who could say no?! Beautiful as always x

  26. loving the blink 182 title! you look fab as always xx

  27. Haters are idiots, spending their time slagging off people. What's about about? I love the outfit.

    ReplyDelete

  28. Well, first of all, this outfit is divine. Love love love all of the colors together!

    And second, I had to do the same with my formspring. Something about it just brings out all the haters! I gave it three strikes and within a month,it was out. There's no need to put yourself through that, there's about 1 hater for over a thousand lovers, so yeah, majority rules.

    Oh and third (sorry this is tuning into a novel) but the weirdest search I got: port-a-potty girl.huh?

  29. wow. i love that dress. it's stunning in that burnt orangey colour :)

    reminds me of autumn. looking lovely as usual lily xoxo

    ReplyDelete

  34. Love everything Lily, even down to the nails, you've got an eye girlie. Keep it up because we love you xx

    ReplyDelete

  36. I think i might just be in love with that dress! Ahh, i wish i had a Topshop near me ♥
    You look gorgeous :) Haha i agree, Google Analytics can always provide a good laugh :) xo

    ReplyDelete

  37. You look bloody ACE.
    And about Formspring, you've won in the long run because people don't have as easy an outlet to bring you down now. Really glad you've got rid of that thing. It only seemed to cause you stress. FAQ is defo the best idea!

  45. The colour of that dress is so ridiculously perfect for Autumn! I definitely think the Autumn/Winter colour palette is the best to dress for. xxx

  46. You're so pretty ! I love that dress :) I deleted my Formspring account too because there were just too many harsh and mean comments .

    ReplyDelete

  47. Formspring seems to make people think that you are answerable to them, I am glad you showed that is not the case

    ReplyDelete

  49. 3000 word essay on frankenstein hahaha! that's intresting!

    btw the dress is absolutley beautiful! i want it too now!!

    and i really like that you didn't combine it with the usual black/grey/whatever.

    ReplyDelete

  50. ARH! haters are shit, your formspring was so useful i used to ask little questions that would help me to decide on a piece of clothing i wanted/wasnt sure about... i dont have twitter which is a bum, i guess i cant ask questions anymore unless i gmail you, but the 'little' questions seem a bit pointless to email you over if you get me? anyway lovely dress and keep it up, hope you 'fall back inlove with your blog again' and dont let the haters get to you <3 all my loveee

    ReplyDelete

  51. Its such a shame that blogging has a bitchy side to it... ultimately, any 'hating' is just down to jealousy - so the joke's on them really.

    Love the burnt orange with the bright blue nail varnish - great combination! Infact I really really want this dress now... bank account says no though.

    ReplyDelete

  52. I got that cardigan the other day in primark, they have so many colours in that style and they are my favorites from there im collecting them all ^_^.
    Love the outfit Lily, and stupid haters. Remember "haters are your biggest fans."

    ReplyDelete

  61. I tried that dress on and it looked crap on me but you pull it off really well!

    ReplyDelete

  62. I saw this the other day and am definitely going to go back and try it on. burnt orange is one of my key colours for autumn/winter but i haven't found the perfect item in it yet. you look great. keywords searches are always hilarious.

    ReplyDelete

  64. that dress looks so pretty on you!! :) the colour is lovely!

  65. Sad that you had to take down your formspring because of some spoilers, but I'll bet it used to wind you up something rotten, so now you can breathe a sigh of relief & make good of your evenings that you won't spend typing over & over again, "I'm 5ft 5, with a black Fiat Punto, get whatever top you want!" ;]

    I love the colour combo in your outfit, very warm colours that go so well.

    ReplyDelete
