Take me to Paris


















One day in Paris


| Underwear set - Topshop |

| Stripe top - Topshop | Skirt - Farfetch | Pumps - Zara |
| Pearls - Tiffany & Co. | Bag - Zara | Sunglasses - Zara | Lipgloss - Nars |
| Waterproof eyeliner - Debenhams | Paris skyline umbrella - Umbrellaheaven | 


Paris, the city of Romance. I have never been and really want to visit!
I have heard many great things about the city and have met many Parisians - most of them crazy, all of them stylish.
I think this outfit would be perfect for Paris- had to include the Paris skyline umbrella. Very cool.
I can imagine myself strolling around the beautiful streets wearing this, then taking a break to enjoy a lazy coffee in a quaint, picture perfect cafĂ©.
This Topshop underwear set is very ooh la la. Hiding this under the unsuspecting outfit would make Paris proud. Take me to Paris now...

Sex, drugs & rock 'n roll


















Groupie love

| Fur vest - Topshop | Leather skirt - Mango | Lace top - Target | Heels - Topshop |
| Earcuff - Accessorize | Sunglasses - Moscot | Flower headband - Modcloth |

I love this outfit. Rock & roll style just always looks effortlessly cool.
All these pieces are so versatile and easy to wear, this look is more of an evening outfit but could easily be dressed down with a pair of flat ankle boots. 
I thought the rock & roll lifestyle would be the lifestyle for me... Until I decided to move to Ibiza. The world's party island, where madness is the norm and reality is non-applicable. 
No, it wasn't rock music and no, I did not turn into a groupie but wohhhh was it an intense experience.
I honestly do not know how people can keep this lifestyle up for years on end. 
The highs, the lows, the insane, crazy and plain weird events and characters that you meet along the way, would just not happen in everyday life. 
When I finally left Ibiza, armed with two suitcases too heavy for their own good, 300euros left to my name and a dog with one eye...(long story) - via what turned out to be an eight hour ferry/party boat, complete with DJ's, gogo dancers and a mass of people who wanted to get very very drunk, I felt exhausted. 
But at the end of it all, lying on a sun lounger slowly watching the island shrink into the distance and welcoming the vast glimmering ocean ahead, I was smiling cheekily inside (at that point even my face muscles could not muster a smile.) I had given my entire summer to the whirlwind of magical mania that is rock & roll. And was it worth it... Most definitely, yes.

The Summer of true romance


| Bikini top - Zumiez | Shorts - We Like Fashion | Bag - ASOS | Sunglasses Italia Independent |

Crazy clashing colours for the summer! 
Have you seen the film True Romance? It is a classic. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet! 
It is the perfect summer film- So much fun to watch, lots of very cool retro clothes and Brad Pitt as the funniest stoner you have ever seen. Order in some pizza and check it out...

Let's go to the beach







I am lucky enough to live in a city with a beach. I love swimming in the sea (not too deep though- that's all a bit scary!) 
Last year when I was living in Ibiza, me and my Fiance, both of us too hot, decided it would be a good idea to cool off in the ocean. 
We were at the top of a beautiful rocky cliff with crystal clear waters, beautiful coral and brightly coloured fish below. After jumping in and seriously underestimating the tide, which was quickly dragging us out further and further, I started to panic. 
Suddenly we were both sucked out into what I can only describe as an abyss. 
The water suddenly went so deep it turned to pure darkness. There was this crackling noise that came with being out so deep. It was like the energy of the ocean floor popping to the surface. The energy of the water was overpowering and unexpected. 
To make things worse eels started hitting into my legs- this sent me into a full blown scream-athon (at the time it was obviously a shark...) My Fiance (a lot braver than I) quickly stopped his uncontrollable laughter at my escapades. Panic set over him too, hey, maybe there is a shark? Maybe it wants to eat us?!
You have never seen two people swim faster or look more stupid in the space of five minutes. Trying to climb out of the water onto a jagged cliff face gracefully did not happen that day, neither has the urge to want to go deep sea swimming again.
