SUNSHINE IN STRATFORD

own imagery

Aren't you just absolutely loving the gorgeous weather we've been experiencing lately? This could possibly be one of the nicest Summers we've had in years! Me and my boyfriend decided to make the most of the beautiful weather and pay a visit to tourist hotspot, Stratford Upon Avon (birthplace of William Shakespeare) for a spot of shopping, smoothies and sunshine! If you've never been, Stratford is a quaint market town in the Warwickshire area that boasts stunning traditional architecture in an idyllic riverside setting. We spent our afternoon wandering around the shops (although nothing really caught my eye), sipping passionfruit and mango smoothies and relaxing under an oak tree by the River Avon. To keep cool I wore a simple black strappy dress with my favourite long kimono (from primark) with what I believe to be the comfiest sandals ever created (again from primark). I love nothing more than being outdoors with my favourite people and experiencing beautiful places during Summer!

WEDNESDAY WISHLIST

Wednesday's here again and here are my current fave high street picks! I recently had a huge clear out of my wardrobe and realised that I am utterly unprepared for the Autumn season. I need to inject some much loved nudes, blacks and my all time favourite... burgundy into my life! Barely there makeup teamed with a statement berry lip would set this look off perfectly! 

-------------------------------

Are you getting your wardrobe prepared for the new season?

WEEKEND WISHLIST

I hope you've all had a fashionably fabulous Weekend... Here are this Weekend's top fashion finds that I wish were mine! Back-packs, sliders, circle skirts and round frame sunnies are so on trend this summer, however I have failed to update my wardrobe with any of them... yet! I absolutely adore the Kurt Geiger embellished sliders and they're currently in the sale so I may have to treat myself! Weekends always seem to get me wishing for a better wardrobe, pay day is just around the corner for me so I'm hoping that I can add some totally trendy pieces to my plain jane jumble sale of a wardrobe!

WEDNESDAY WISHLIST

Now i've broken up from university for the Summer, I seem to be spending the majority of my time 'online window shopping'. There are some lovely pieces around at the moment and here are six of my faves. I'm getting into the high summer spirit with tropical tones of lemon and coral teamed with white. Nothing says summer like a pair of bright white sandals!I really love Olivia Burton watches and as my birthday is soon approaching i'm dropping hints to all my nearest and dearest! 

What are you currently wishing for?

OH, I DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE...

Cami / Sunnies / Jacket  / Jeans

Recently me and my wonderful boyfriend (of nearly six years), Alex, spent five days in what I now consider to be one of the most beautiful locations in the UK - Cornwall. This was our first holiday/road trip with just the two of us on home soil. We usually travel to luxurious hotels in Egypt or holiday with his family but since passing his driving test we decided it would be nice to spend some time just the two of us. A break was exactly what with both needed, with myself being stuck in a dead end job about to go into my third and final year of stressful studying at university and Alex landing the job of a lifetime as a photographer this sea air did us the world of good. It's the first time we'd both been to Cornwall since our childhoods and we immediately fell in love with the place. We stayed at the Newquay Parkdean holiday park and were given a gorgeous luxury lodge to spend our holiday in. The views from the park were stunning but that didn't stop us from exploring all that Cornwall has to offer. We visited St. Ives, Tintagel, Penzance, Lands End, Marizion and St. Michael's Mount. I urge anyone who hasn't been to add St. Ives and St. Michael's Mount to their 'places to visit' list, we have already promised ourselves that one day we will move to stunning St. Ives and eat cornish ice-cream for breakfast.
