Tunic – Yuki Tokyo
Jewellery – Accessorize
Belt – River Island
Nails – Bourjois Jaune Trendy
I recently received this tunic from Yuki Tokyo – an online clothing store which also has a concession section in Topshop and many boutique stores worldwide. Yuki takes inspiration from the Shibuya street in Tokyo, a lively and colourful area which spawns many up and coming fashion trends, and incorporates these key styles within their range, making each piece a little bit unique and individual. Their range is quite varied, stocking what I would describe as ‘chic work wear’, simple, sophisticatedly cut dresses and shirts, as well as the floral and the frilly for casual daytime wear.
This tunic is probably not a style I would normally pick out; I do seem drawn towards the aforementioned floral dresses and anything remotely colourful, but I was really pleased with how it fitted and worked once I had added my own accessories. Their sizing is one size (8-12) in everything which I was a bit nervous about, and without the belt this would have been a bit sack-like, but the fit on top and the length was perfect on me. The material is beautiful too, even if it does demand some laborious hand washing, and hung really nicely. I think their pieces are quite pricey in all honesty, but I think you are paying for the material and cut, which you really do notice. I particularly love the low looping armholes on this shift dress, creating the illusion of a double sleeve. I braved some bare legs with this dress but I think it would also look really pretty with some tights and chunky knitwear for the impending Autumn season, which seems chillily close!
your hair looks absolutely lovely all swept up from your face!
Gorgeous, your hair looks amazing up! xxx

I agree, it's just so upsetting seeing the news and watching all these rats go crazy on the streets. Unreal.
On a lighter note, that colour looks really nice on you 🙂

i love your hair most of all! i think the colour of the dress kinda drowns you out? it's a nice style but probably better in a bolder colour! x
Gorgeous dress! I love how you've accessorized it! xo

This is a gorgeous dress – I love the colour. I agree that the size 8-12 would worry me a little too!

I think the beige is lovely on you! I'm also a little bit in love with that nail colour, I might have to snap that one up on my next shopping trip! xo
There are no words for these riots. On a lighter note your hair looks lush in a top-knot.

Liking the tunic… beautiful
This looks so effortlessly chic. I've seen Yuki stuff before and agree the prices can be quite high, but for a special occasion or one off piece I think it would be worth it.
Love this look on you! xoxo
Looking great!! Nice to see a really honest review that lets your readers know some of the shortcomings of products. I think with handwashing + one size + price it's a bit too much hassle for me!
Gorgeous tunic! Love the colour 🙂

thank you all for your comments.
@gembear – i totally understand what you mean, I was nervous of the colour purely because I wear brighter, bolder shades a lot of the time.
@kerrymarie – thank you for your comment. um, i don't know really. I have high energy level naturally and have always been used to a busy life. exercise generally makes you feel more energised. I am vegetarian and eat a lot of natural, good food which is good for a healthy body and mind. oh and red bull 🙂 lifesaver!! xx
It really does look lovely, the colour is great & with the belt & necklace you just look stunning- but like you've not tried hard at all.
I don't like one size items- speshly because I wouldn't fit into it, but some times I just think, it's a shame. dresses like this, you can get away with to some extent, but with others- one size would look silly
xx
Your outfit is lovely 🙂
this looks so good on you, beautiful as always! I bought a nude dress from H&M but was too scared to wear it for a month, but its actually really flattering. xx
wow milly i love this style of tunic on you, i agree i'd never pick something like this to wear but now i'm eyeing it up myself!! looks gorgeous xxx
you make that dress look fabulous, but its not something I could pull off!
you look gorgeous!
