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!

Thanks for reading,

Adventures in the Cote d'azur

I totally forgot to mention in my last post, that I wouldn't be posting for a couple of weeks because I was going away on holiday to the South of France. Well I'm back now (as of yesterday evening) and as per usual, I'm feeling a mixture of emotions. It's nice being back and understanding signs and driving on the left side of the road but I'm missing the beautiful weather. It was practically blue skies and a minimum of 28 degrees everyday. Whereas England is more around the 20 mark and not quite as clear but I shouldn't moan cause it's actually pretty good weather for us. I'm gonna miss eating breakfast outside in the sunshine. Fresh croissants and coffee. But it's nice to have my room and my double bed back. Anyway, I thought I'd share a few pics of my holiday with you and then I'm gonna do a few separate post over the next couple of weeks of some of my favourite outfits and day trips from my holiday.

those dusty denim days



[Denim dress - Newlook, Floral dress - Newlook, Belt - ASOS, Footless tights - ASOS, Flip Flops - Accessorize, Sunglasses - H&M]

This is an outfit I wore on one of my last day of my Holiday. At the moment, I am still attempting to get through all my dirty washing so my current attire is old pjys or one of the few dresses I didn't wear on Holiday (not exactly blog material!). I loved this outfit because firstly, it kept me cool and secondly because I tend to steer clear of layering in the Summer but somehow felt it worked this time. I can wear this denim dress on its own but really enjoyed putting it over dresses or skirts cause I felt like it gave a real laid back vibe as well as being on trend. I can't say I am one of those girls who looks flawless, you know? Perfect make-up, hair exact, ironed dress and polished shoes (not that you can polish flip-flops...) I always considered myself to look a tinsy bit messy. Personally, I think it works for me and so many others but sometimes it would be nice to look perfect. For everything to be just so. But we are who we are and I guess I should just go with it.

Do you prefer the polished look or that 'rough around the edges' style?

Let me know what you think of my outfit?
