St. Tropez, Daaarlings!

I have always wanted to visit Saint Tropez. I imagined it to be hot and sunny, filled with immaculately dressed people and beautiful shops and restaurants. It's nice to be able to see that it actually met my expectations. It was an amazing place to explore and an even more exciting place to capture with my camera. The highlight had to be walking down a long sunny street with all of the extravagant designer shops lining the sides. Dior. Dolce and Gabbana. Louie Vuitton. I could go on.The picture above is the Dior restaurant that I passed. Before my trip, I didn't know that a Dior restaurant even existed. It was one of the most beautiful restaurants I've seen (like something from a movie, set in the twenties) and part of me was desperate to stroll in and order myself a glass of champagne but I didn't feel dressed for the occasion, nor did I have the money to justify it. Below is the outfit I wore (Skirt - Next, Flip flops - Havaianas, Blouse - H&M, Hat - H&M, Bag - H&M, Sunnies - H&M). I needed something cool to wear as the temperature was creeping just over the 30 degree mark that day and the only place to escape the sun was in an overpriced restaurant or bar.

I saw this dress in a D&G campaign in my ELLE magazine and then spotted it while strolling around the shops in St. Tropez. The moment I saw it, I was mesmerised. I love the rich red colour and couldn't take my eyes away from the outstanding detail. I rarely see something I like this much so seeing it in the flesh was really exciting for me and so I obviously had to take a photo of it to share with you guys! Anyway, here are a few more photos of my trip to St. Tropez. These were taken on the boat trip we took around the harbour.

It's really strange looking back at these photos. Especially as in a few days I head back to uni and have to leave my family again. It's nice to know I've spent some quality time with them all and even nicer having these pictures to remind me of that.

Let me know your thoughts on anything and everything to do with this post!

Deux Macaron, s'il vous plait?

(Translated: Two Macaroons, please?)

Yesterday, my family and I headed over the English channel to France for the day. To a lot of people, that sounds pretty strange but that is the beauty of Europe right? So many diverse countries just a short drive, boat or plane journey away. So yes we headed over there and ate lots of French cuisine, shopped (will show you guys this week) and explored a place we have been so many times but somehow came across a beautiful hidden beach. Although it was cold, windy and had been raining all morning, the sun broke through the clouds by the late afternoon ready for me to take some photos. I am really happy with how they came out. I hope you guys agree?

Above are two different beaches. A self-portrait of my happy but freezing self and most importantly a picture of my favourite person in the whole world, my little brother Joshua. I thought he looked pretty cool in his blue hoodie. Like me, he loves fashion! He refuses to wear anything boring and likes to stand out. I also feel I should mention that I lost my macaroon virginity. Years of wanting to try one but knowing I had to wait to be in France, I pranced into a beautiful little boulangerie (bakery) yesterday and asked for two macaroons. Chocolate and Pistachio. I have to say, they were delicious. 

On a side note: I cannot believe I haven't posted in over a week! Things have been so busy lately but I have a few things to post about from the last week and plenty of things to blog about in the coming weeks.

What did you all get up to at the weekend? Where is your favourite place to go to on a day trip?

Always look on the bright side of life (de-do..de-do-de-do-de-doo)

Sadly, it is back to England for me next week. No more amazing city skylines, or beach sun sets and I can forget about wearing vibrant summer dresses because the weather is going to be a painful reality when I land in London Heathrow. My trip to Australia has been amazing. I cannot really say too much more. However, going home is a good thing I guess. If you stay in an amazing place too long it becomes home and therefore boring and mundane. You have to go back to your reality every once in a while, it is just part of life. Looking forward to things is usually the most exciting part, so even though my trip is drawing to a close, I will try and remember that something fun is only round the corner! 

Below are a few of my favourite snaps from my trip to Australia...

The City life is for me.

Lil'old me in Sydney!

I cannot believe how long it has been since I have posted on here but I have been so busy and haven't had a lot of access to a computer. I arrived in Australia the Friday before last to be exact and it is so amazing here. I spent 4 days at my sisters in Sydney, then we went up to Cairns to visit a friend and are still here. The weather has been unreal and the heat unbearable but the trip so far has been fantastic. On to a Fashion note, today I bought a skirt from City Chic but took a few pictures of me in a dress I tried on. Below are also a few pictures of the amazing things I found.

Black and Gold sparkly embellishment

More posts and pictures to follow soon. Cannot wait to show you my amazing new stripped maxi skirt from City Chic. Let me know what you think of this post and the pictures above.

Cheerio England, G'day Australia!!

Tomorrow I am finally off to Australia! I cannot believe how quickly it has come around. It has been so great getting my summer dresses, sun glasses and flip flops back out. I'm heading to Sydney, where my sister Carly lives and even though I am leaving Wednesday 21st September at 22:20pm English time, I don't arrive in Australia until 08:45am Friday morning. However, I am stopping half way in Hong Kong for a few hours, but that only adds like 4 hours to the journey. It just sounds like it will take forever... I'm guessing it will feel the same way too! Besides being nervous and asking myself 'why have you done this?' I am feeling pretty excited. My outfit is sorted and my bags; packed (almost). Most of my good-byes have been said and now it's just left to saying goodbye to my parents and my brothers. Its going to be worth it though I am sure. Anyway, I obviously wont be posting for the next couple of days and haven't posted as recently as I would have normally liked because of being so busy, sorry! When I get there and settle in, I will post pictures from my sisters birthday out in Sydney and finally get the chance to wear my new red dress!
