May New In Wishlist

May New In Wishlist

It’s officially British summertime (although you wouldn’t be able to tell for the non-stop rain we’ve had this week) and that is well and truly reflected in what I’ve seen in all of my favourite retailers ‘new in’ sections this last month. Think lightweight, floaty dresses, denim shorts and thin knit vests, with barely there sandals or fresh white trainers. Continue reading “May New In Wishlist”

Polaroids from Burano

Polaroids from Burano

A few months ago, we visited Venice on a special trip for my 30th birthday. I only found out where we were going a couple of days before, but I’d been wanting to go to Venice for years so I already had a wish list as long as my arm, of places I was desperate to visit and things I wanted to see.

Burano was up there at the top and I was adamant that we had to take a boat ride over there at some point during our trip.

Three brands you can shop for Sustainable Swimwear

Three brands you can shop for Sustainable Swimwear

How is it mid-June already?! I feel like the months are just FLYING by. I have a big birthday this August so I kind of set that as a milestone for the year in January, believing that I had all the time in the world and now it’s only two months away and I don’t know what’s happened to the last five!

As I write this, it’s pouring with rain outside and has basically been torrential for the last two weeks so it doesn’t feel like Summer in the slightest however, given that it is June and we’re in the midst of holiday season, I wanted to do a little swimwear edit for you guys and after a couple of new sustainable swimwear brands dropped into my inbox which I absolutely loved, I decided to share a more environmentally friendly edit with you this year.

Below, I’ve picked three high street brands that stock some beautiful, sustainable swimwear items so hopefully you can shop, more guilt-free this season whilst picking up some new pieces for your holidays…

Polaroids from Mykonos

Polaroids from Mykonos

All of this rainy UK weather has got me daydreaming about my holidays and with that, I realised I never shared any of our snaps from Mykonos with you guys.

All photographs were taken on a Canon 750d or iPhone 7 plus and I’ve played around with some film filters to get the 35mm effect. I’ve also recently got my hands on a 35mm camera which I’m SO excited about so once I’ve got some practice in, there will no doubt be loads more photography based posts coming up.

5 Summer Bags You Need To Get Your Hands On

As i’m writing this, we’re at the start of what is supposedly going to be the warmest week in the UK so far this year with temperatures of 20ºc. It may not be bikini weather, but we’ve been pushed to get double figures for the last 6 months so i’m not complaining! Continue reading “5 Summer Bags You Need To Get Your Hands On”

Three 2018 Swimwear Trends You’ll Want To Get On Board With

Three 2018 Swimwear Trends You’ll Want To Get On Board With

As Spring has finally sprung, I thought i’d jump in with both feet and go for a summer holiday/travel inspired post this week. In all honesty though, it’s a great time of year to be thinking about swimwear choices and starting to building a little collection up. The official ‘holiday season’ really begins in most European destinations mid to the end of April and to be honest, i’m sure I remember the summer sales starting really early last year so if you don’t want to miss out, i’d grab your swimwear now.

A Home Away from Home in Mexico | Finest Playa Mujeres Hotel Review

As I write this, it’s 2nd January 2018, it’s pouring with rain outside and it’s the dreaded first day back at work for many after the Christmas and new year break. Lucky for me, I booked today off as annual leave just to give myself that extra bit of a break before going back to work tomorrow.

Naturally on the 1st of Jan I was looking for holidays and city breaks to take away my January blues – I know I’m not the only one as the ‘I need a holiday’ tweets are allllll over my Twitter feed right now. So, what better to post than a bit of travel inspiration. Continue reading “A Home Away from Home in Mexico | Finest Playa Mujeres Hotel Review”
