Sailin'

Motel Rocks Nessy dress | Jack Wills sunglasses | Primark sandals & bikini

On one of my favorite nights in Majorca we went on a magical boat trip. Just before sunset we set out on a beautiful sailing yacht in Pollenca bay. I wore my Motel Nessy dress as I thought it was a bit nautical, but soon regretted it as the sea winds picked up and I ended up doing my best Marilyn impression. The boat was owned by a lovely English couple, after an hour of sailing across the evening waves we anchored up on a reef and jumped in the water for a bit of snorkeling! Having been stung by a jelly fish a couple of days earlier I was a bit scared about getting back in the water but soon got over my fear after seeing lots of beautiful fish. We spent about half an hour diving off the boat and swimming down to the seabed in our flippers before climbing back on and indulging in bread, olives, wine and some gorgeous home-made tapas. On the way back we watched the sun set over the Majorcan mountains throwing beautiful light and reflections across the sea. We ended our evening in the nearby harbour side restaurant where we carried on eating more amazing food, myself indulging in the biggest plate of queen scallops I've ever seen. All in all it was a wonderful evening and a holiday night to remember.

Rude

Bank vest, trainer wedges & hat (similar)*

Yesterday I returned to the UK after a wonderful couple of weeks in Majorca with Dave's family. I had such a lovely time, our days were spent relaxing by the pool, visiting some beautiful beaches and evenings visiting some amazing restaurants and eating SO much amazing food. I think I've eaten enough bread and olives to feed a family of 10 for a month. We also visited some lovely cocktail bars and clubs on a couple of nights which was really fun, and spent one day shopping in Palma where I ended up spending far to much money in Mango. And if all that wasn't enough I booked a last minute week to Marbella with my best friend this morning! And when I say last minute I mean Wednesday, most stressful/ exciting thing I've ever done haha. 

I was a total retard and forgot (or rather lost in transit) the adapter that puts my memory card into the iPad so was unable to blog whilst I was out there! But I have lots of outfits and looks to show you as well as some beautiful shots of the island, I promise not to desert my poor little blog for that long again! So to kick off my holiday posts I'm starting with a look I was sent by Bank just before I jetted off! This vest is actually mens, and was ideal for chilling by the pool and for beach days. It's so light weight and drys easily when your bikini gets it wet! I've had my eye on these beautiful shoes for a very long time, I know I'm a little late on the trainer-wedge hype but they're definitely my shoe of choice at the moment. They're so comfortable and are perfect for travelling. I'm really getting in to my snapbacks at the moment, still deciding if I can really pull them off, but loving them none the less. This studded and denim one finished off my sporty look to a T. 

I hope you're all having a lovely summer, I'd love to see your holiday posts so drop me a link below :)

Wales Photo Diary

Zara Skort (as before)/ & Other Stories black cami and yellow dress (worn as top)/ Havaninas flip flops

Hi everyone! Just a few snaps from a recent trip to Broadhaven in Wales. My best friend has a holiday home right on the coast, we went down for a few days with our boyfriends and had a lovely time chilling out in the sun and eating loads of amazing seafood. Before you all shout at me I know I need to start finding something else to wear on my bottom half haha. The jumper I'm wearing is hers, I think Milly picked it up in the sale in H&M! 

I've just arrived in Majorca! Our villa has Wifi which is amazing, so hopefully I'll be able to bring you a few posts from my phone. Hope your all still enjoying the glorious weather back at home, it's almost as good as it is here :)

Summer Vibes

iamVibes hamsa tee*/Zara skort  (similar here + here)/ Primark flatforms/ Marc by Marc Jacobs watch/ Dixi wishbone ring, circle infinity ring & quartz necklace*

I threw this outfit on quickly just before a shopping trip over the weekend and was pleasently surprised with how well a tee goes with the Zara skort. I'm a proper hamsa freak (if you can't tell by my blog header) so I always love wearing my Vibes tees, they seem to go with anything! Their designs are so unique, I've got my eye on their beautiful leotards at the moment. In this post and my last I've been using a new 50m lens for my camera which I'm loving- what do you guys think? I used it last week when I was shooting a wedding and came up with some gorgeous photos, It's actually my dad's but just so happens to fit my camera too, I think I'll have to invest in one before I move to London (or pinch his!). I'm inside at work today so I'm not able to bask around in the sun as I have been doing for the past few days but I'm only 4 more sleeps away from Majorca, I seem to be counting down the hours now! I hope your all enjoying the glorious weather, until next time x

The Emperor's Old Clothes

 The Emperor's Old Clothes custom top*/ Topshop skirt (now in the sale!)/ Primark sandals

How gorgeous has the weather been this weekend? I've been at my boyfriends house in the countryside soaking up the rays by the pool feeling like I'm already on Holiday. I thought I'd take advantage of the weather and show you all a very special new piece of clothing. My divine new crop top is by a brighton-based clothing company called The Emperor's Old Clothes, who specialize in vintage inspired clothing and create one-off bespoke pieces from their studio. You can find a lot of their unique pieces on Etsy here, and after seeing one of their fitted crops online I decided to choose one for my bespoke piece. I was given a lot of control on the design side of things and the top is exactly how I visualized it, the white is Egyptian cotton and the black lace trim is actually vintage. Made to my exact measurements, nothing else feels quite this special to put on! Today I paired it with my Topshop skater as it was boiling, but I'm looking forward to teaming it with lots of high-waisted pieces in my wardrobe. I also picked up these amazing sandals from Primark over the weekend for a bargain £12, my perfect holiday shoe. It's less than a week now until I'm off to Majorca and to say I'm a tad excited is an understatement, I'm sure I'll be wearing this outfit when I'm over there! I want to say a big thank you to Cecily and The Emperors Old Clothes for producing such a wonderful garment for me. What would you choose for a bespoke piece?

Suitcase Wishlist

Saint Laurent knit and shoes/ Ray Ban sunglasses/ Herve Leger dress/ Charlie by Matthew Zinc bikini briefs/ Love Moschino tee/ YSL lipstick/ Marc by Marc Jacobs bag

If I haven't told you all already I'm off on holiday next week and ill be soaking up the sun in sunny Majorca. One thing I actually love about going on holiday is packing my case. I love visualising outfits with a tan and planning what I'm going to wear to the beach or put for dinner. So, with it being just a week away I was in need of some inspiration of what to put in my case, and what better summer wish list to make than one from Harrods?

With some gorgeously luxurious peices Harrods are nailing it at the moment. The Saint Laurent jumper is just perfect for travelling and the loose stitch also makes  ideal to throw over your bikini. I usually vow to only pack three pairs of shoes for a holiday, flip flops, sandals and one killer pair of heels. These strappy stilletos by Saint Laurent are the most gorgeous shade and will take you from dinner to dancing on those holiday nights.

I'm loving mirrored sunglasses at the moment and these gold framed Ray Bans have the coolest blue lenses that would look awesome paired with the yellow bikini by Charlie by Matthew Zinc, a good pair of sunnies is a must!

On to the dress of all dresses- who else would you go to for the perfect bodycon but Herve Leger? The shimmering nude tone is the perfect shade to offset your tan, but is versatile enough to carry you through to AW.

Travelling whilst being comfy but stylish is always a problem us girls face. A statement tee is an on-trend easy option at the moment, pair this Moschino beauty with a pair of leggings and your Marc by Marc Jacobs carry on then denim cut offs for the beach.

Which of these designer items are on your summer wishlist? 

#LDNBloggersParty at Dirty Martini

 Motel Rocks Sarah dress

 #LDNBloggersParty

On Saturday I ventured up to London to attend a blogging & cocktails event at Dirty Martini hosted by the gorgeous Scarlett of Scarlett London. Scarlett and I shared a room at Holiday Health Club, and  a few of the bootcamp bloggers were invited along so it was great to catch up with them all. It was one of the more relaxed events I've been to and it was really nice to just have a chat and meet new bloggers, sip some cocktails and browse through some great brands. 

I bumped into Jen from Bootyfurl who I'd already had the pleasure of meeting at London Fashion Week earlier on this year and we kind of stuck together and mingled! I picked up a lovely wadge of cards from various bloggers that I am looking forward to check out. I got my hair done by the lovely ladies at the Cloud Nine styled my hair for me, I've been desperate to get my hands on a new curling wand after my Lee Stafford one caught fire (it was pretty traumatic ha) and I was really pleased with how my hair looked so I think I'll be getting my hands on a pair soon! I also checked out new beauty brand Orliflame and had a good try and test of a few of their products, their moisturizing lipsticks were amazing. Also at the event was Search Laboratory who gave us all some great SEO tips and sent us away with a really useful tips for bloggers booklet which I enjoyed on the train home.

We all left with an amazing jam-packed goody bag, full of lots of treats, I want to thanks to Scarlett for organizing such a great event, it must have taken a hell of a lot of hard work but it certainly paid off.
