Snaps of the Week


Wondering around Teguise.



Unsuccessful water dodging.



Gormless bathroom snap.
Top // Givenchy (Past season, sold out)



From where I stood. 



Feeling like I was on the moon. Volcano spotting on Fire Mountain.



All giggles (and a little full of sangria). Outfit a mix of past season Topshop and H&M.



Surfer's paradise. Finding secret beaches and picking up knick knacks on our travels.

Jetting off for a week in the sun.. I will leave you with a snap of my holiday jewels.. Totally worth paying the extra luggage weight allowance for ;)

I'll see you in a week with some tropical outfit posts.

Sayonara!









Worldwide Wardrobe

The sun is out!... Oh, it's cloudy again. -The story of our lives right here in the UK. It's so hard to get dressed in the morning right now, don't you think?! I've created so many 'wish list' outfits, dreaming of Californian style rays and sun-kissed shoulders... Wouldn't it be so great if they became a reality?! 

Well, ladies, now they can be! Travelsupermarket.com have launched a fantastic competition to give away five holidays to five lucky fashion bloggers! The challenge is to create looks for the following destinations:



  • Sightseeing in Paris
  • Clubbing in Ibiza
  • Shopping in London
  • Cocktails in New York
  • Partying at a Full Moon party in Thailand

  • Each category winner will win a dream trip to the destination their outfit was inspired by, plus £200 to buy the outfit. You can enter all five categories, or just one or two, it's entirely up to you!

  • Here are my entries:



  • SIGHTSEEING IN PARIS






    Home to the classy and fabulous, I thought this jumper from Topshop would be perfect to roam the streets of Paris. It injects a bit of fun, whilst the shorts and gold accents add the 'fash' to the ensemble. 


    CLUBBING IN IBIZA








    Print on print and not much else.


    SHOPPING IN LONDON







    A neutral palette with a textured edge, this watered down ensemble would look just as great mooching around the cobbled streets of Soho as rifling for vintage gems in the East End. The embellished top could take the outfit from day to night, from table top dancing in Camden's cuban bar, to kicking back and slurping on cocktails whilst people watching in Covent Garden.  



  • NEW YORK

  • Top // £34 // Topshop

  • Skirt // £39.99 // Zara

  • Clutch Bag // £39.99 // Zara

  • Shoes // £58 // Asos

  • Nail Varnish // £5 // Topshop

  • Necklace // £8 // loveheartsandcrosses.co.uk

  • So my uniform of choice for cocktails in NYC would be a twirl worthy floral number, set off by whites and popping red accessories. The wishbone necklace serves as the perfect outfit topper as it's delicate enough not to compete with the skirt, and nods to the silver studs in the shoes. 


  • THAILAND

  • Bikini Top // £15 // River Island

  • Hair Chain // £28 // River Island

  • Shorts // £32 // Topshop

  • Sandals // £84.84 // Nasty Gal

  • Bracelets (x3) // £12 each // Debenhams

  • As soon as I clapped eyes on this hair chain I new I needed to find somewhere to wear it.. and where better than a party on a beach where inhibitions are scarce, and spirits are high? Nasty Gal have hit the jackpot with these tassel sandals.. Practical and cool (practi-cool, if you will), these flats will last me right through 'till the moon goes down and the sun goes up. 


  • So, that's me done. Five outfits for five holidays... Which one is your fave?? Now it's time for you to enter too. 

  • Here's how you do it :

  • 1. Publish a Worldwide Wardrobe post on your blog including an outfit and accessories for the five different destinations, explaining why you chose each look.

    Dungaree Me

    I've always considered the dungaree the uniform of the over indulged and uninspired. The reason so may 90s 3 year olds voluntarily wet themselves in nursery due to those ridiculous metal clip thingys that were IMPOSSIBLE to negotiate with tiny chalk filled hands (or so I've heard). It was also what Rachel wore after she left her fiancĂ© at the altar, had to cut up her credit cards and get a job serving her friends coffee. I had no desire to join this club. And in there, my friends lies it's beauty. 

    The original double denim (like you had a choice) has now been transformed into buttery soft leather worn over dropped arm holes and pared with cab to curb heels. My fingers are now big enough to manoeuvre the clips, and I'd happily serve coffee if it meant I'd look like this. The fickleness of fashion rears it's ugly head yet again. One lump or two?

    New Zara necklace. The Spanish, designer-style threads have had me in a spin for the last year and a half.. I'll often leave the house, soon realising that I'm head to toe in the stuff. It's the only place I tend to head on the high street to pick up a chic but cost friendly piece of jewellery... Topshop has gone so samey, and you can spot the brand details a mile off. Zara takes the crown for me this season.
