Another Day, Another Car Park | OOTD*

Hey lovelies,

I'm back with another fashion post! Yaaaaaaaaay! Last week I was sent some cute AF pieces from Tobi to style into killer outfits and feature on the blog, and I've been having so much fun shooting the images and putting the posts together so I really hope you enjoy.  

Before you start asking, "Who took these glorious photos Izzy?" I have to give a massive shoutout to Tiff at Creatiff Media for these beautiful pics. Obvs she's my bestie so I'm probably slightly biased, but she's an amazing photographer and I've been loving all the photos she's been taking of me! She's actually offering shoots now at a really good rate, so I'd definitely get in quick as she's getting booked up already!

Tobi is an online fashion retailer based in sunny LA, that stocks so many killer pieces. I'd been following them on Instagram (@shoptobi) for a while but I'd never ordered anything as I'd assumed I'd be paying ridiculous amounts in customs, duty and delivery fees. BOY WAS I WRONG.

 When one of the lovely guys at Tobi got in contact with me to discuss a collaboration, I started looking into the website and they actually offer free shipping to the UK including all VAT and Duties prepaid! (Sorry in advance for any damage you do to your bank accounts now I've imparted that little gem of information.)

This Sophia Wine Lace Up Sweater Dress was the first piece I fell in love with on the Tobi website. It's got that off-duty cool vibe about it, and it's the perfect piece to have in your wardrobe that you can just throw on, but still look sassy as hell!  I absolutely love the lace up detailing on the front, and the fact that it's oversized makes it even more effortless to wear. (Plus it hides ALL the food babies, so ya know, that's great too.)

I paired the dress with these gorgeous suede over the knee boots from Next, (because it's still winter y'all and my poor legs need the warmth!) but I love how it all looks together. When the weather starts to get a tad warmer, I'll definitely be throwing this on with some Vans or Adidas Gazelles too!

One thing I really wanted to mention was about how impressed I was by the quality of the pieces I received, compared with many other online fashion brands. The 'About' section of their website shows how much care and thought goes into each piece, all the way from the design element, to the final item, so it's really nice to see that reflected in the quality of their clothing. It makes me want to support them far more than other online brands.

Fun fact: About 30 minutes after these photos were taken, Tiff and I headed off to Hot Pod Yoga with Bumble, organised by the babe that is JessWhoBlog. I'd done regular yoga before, I thought, what could be so different being a little warmer? Answer: A LOT of sweat. I'm just so glad we had our photoshoot before we became the sweatiest messes the world had ever seen!

Make sure to let me know if you make any cheeky purchases from Tobi, and don't forget to keep an eye out for more Tobi products on my blog over the next few weeks!

Thanks for reading your Dose of Fashion
