Beach Dreaming...
27/07/2015
Okay so I think I am almost over my holiday blues...
So it's about time I brought you some snaps from my time away! I spent a glorious week on the Island of Rhodes with my best friend and when I say I was devastated to leave I am not lying, the Island was beautiful and who doesn't like a week away from everything to do nothing but relax?
I made Dominic take these pictures on our first night at the Atlantica Imperial Resort and Spa just before the sun set - what I would give to spend another night staring out over that beach...
Anyways back to reality
Lets discuss the outfit -
If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen me post a picture of this dress a couple of months ago, I got it whilst out shopping in Primark, I was always very against leaf patterns, I'm not sure why but then I found this and clearly my opinion changed! My love for Primark really has grown
over the past year or so and I really can not get enough of it! I am extremely excited about there new Autumn/Winter range and I can not wait for it to launch!
But enough of that and back to this summery post!
At only £15 this dress stole my heart!
I adore the high neck and backless style of the dress not to mention the cross over detail on the front, made with such lightweight chiffon material it makes it the perfect dress for those summery holiday nights!
On to the shoes - these shoes were a pair that I bought last year from New Look but I have managed to link a pair very similar below! They are the perfect holiday sandal, easy to wear and easy to walk in, something that every girl will be grateful of - those killer heels are great for the nightclubs back home but you do not want to be seen in them whilst roaming around Greece, remember classy not trashing girls!
Dress - Primark
Shoes - New Look - Similar Pair Here
Bag - TK Maxx
Get the Look
As Primark still do not have a website that you can source items on I thought I would do some little digging for you into some similar dresses and I came up with this! This Boohoo dress comes in at only £12 in the sale so go and grab it now!
Don't tell me I never do anything for you
Dress - Boohoo
Shoes - New Look
Bag - Miss Guided
I hope you have enjoyed this post and look out for some more holiday snaps throughout the week - I also have some other exciting things coming up, so we'll speak soon!
I'll leave you with this beautiful picture of the beach - I miss you
All my love

The Fabric Badger...
20/07/2015
I recently received some beautiful gifts from the fabulous Fabric Badger! She has an art for turning pieces of material into amazing wareable jewellery! I was a fan of her pieces well before she emailed me to ask if I was interested in a collab, obviously I jumped at the chance!
I am so glad that I did, as she did not disappoint, the pieces are so unique and cute that I actually had a little fan girl moment (full on jumping up and down and screaming slightly) when I unpacked them for the first time!
As she is so fabulous she has sent me several bits and pieces from 3 different collections, so I have decided to put together 3 separate posts which I will be posting throughout the Summer!
As the very first post I’m going to start of with this one!
Which is one of my favourite necklaces that I recieved!
I adore the whole concept of these necklaces, the pendant style and the length of the chain make them the perfect go to daily necklaces!
I paired the necklace with this black halter neck top from Newlook and these khaki Topshop trousers, for an easy summer look!
And can we just take a few seconds out to appreciate this beautiful jacket that I picked up in Greece from Berska! One of my all time favourite things about going to any different city/county is shopping (obviously)! The reason being is I love finding quirky pieces that I might not necessarily find back at home!
This bag is a perfect example of why shopping abroad is such a good idea! Whilst I was wondering around the Old Town of Rhodes I stumbled across this beauty! Greece was just full of the most perfect leather shops and I could have spent a fortune!
Despite the fact I hate my feet I had to mention these shoes! If you haven't already browsed Tescos F and F range you definitely have too! It's cheap, fashionable and really easy to wear, I am so excited for there A/W range with launches in September! I already know that I'll be grabbing some items!

Top - Newlook
Trousers - Topshop (Sold Out) Similar Here
Jacket - Bershka
Shoes - Tescos (Sold Out) Similar Here
Bag - Rhodes Old Town
What I love most about all the bits of jewellery that The Fabric Badger sent me, is the fact that they are all statement pieces, I love layering up jewellery but my all time favourite jewellery trick is to focus on the simplicity of one essential item, I am fascinated by the way a good piece of jewellery can change an outfit instantly and these are the pieces that do exactly that!
I hope you've enjoyed this post and be sure to head over to The Fabric Badgers Etsy page to have a look at what else she has to offer! I will also be bringing them other posts to you throughout the summery months!
