Night #2

Top - Zara

Shorts - Topshop

Shoes - Topshop

The top image is of our first proper night out here. The strip on Albufeira has tons and tons of bars and
restaurants - my favourite bar/club being 'Patcha' - a cool genuinely Portugese club. However, if you think 'Wake Me Up' and 'Blurred Lines' are overplayed in England then you won't believe what it's like here!

The second was a more chilled night for us - we just popped into the Old Town in Albufeira and had a look round a few of the shops. One shop (pictured above) was absolutely full of really unique ornaments and decorations. Gave me so much inspiration for my own place! I especially loved the strange egg-shaped lights. We also saw the sand sculptures which are truly amazing. They require constant maintenance and you're not allowed to get too close. Lastly we went to the American Diner for puddings. It's absolutely delicious but soo filling! I had the 'Rockie Chockie Mountain Sundae'.

Today we just visited the Marina in Villa Moura and just chilling by the pool. Tomorrow I think we're heading to a shopping centre. There's a huge Zara so I'm preparing for some sort of haul!

PS - I promise I'll be taking better outfit photos soon! Still getting used to my camera!

It's been a while... OK, it's been just over an entire year since I blogged. Now I've started working full time I find it incredibly difficult to find any inspiration or time to sit down and post photos and talk about what would be very monotonous days! However, I'm on holiday in Albufeira, Portugal, for the second time at the moment, so I've decided to bust out the camera and take some photos!

This was actually yesterday - our first full day here. We just popped into town and had a peruse around the shops. I'm always impressed by the array of Sambuca flavours they have over here!
The view is absolutely incredible, I'll have to take some in the evenings as well when all the bars open and it gets a lot busier. To get into the town, you have to go down two escalators which are completely out in the open. It's quite a surreal thing to see but makes it so much easier! When you get to the bottom, there's a big square where people can hire rollerskates, quadbikes and segways (see the most terrifying Mr. Bean image they could find!) I haven't been brave enough to hire one yet, but who knows!

Today was just a day of chilling by the pool, and tonight we're heading out onto the strip for a few drinks. If you'd like to follow me on a more immediate level, you can check out my twitter and my instagram.
Speak tomorrow!

Sunshine is a friend of mine

Top - Urban Outfitters

Skirt - Topshop

Sunglasses - River Island

Rings - Topshop & Primark

Shoes - Primark

Such beautiful weather! Finding it hard to believe that in my last post I was wearing a jumper and thick tights! Really hope this lasts. Unfortunately for me I'm stuck indoors today waiting for my Dad's iPhone to be delivered (sigh) but also awaiting some cheeky deliveries from Lavish Alice and Missguided! Just managed to pop into the garden to take these pictures!

I picked up these sunglasses in River Island's sale yesterday for only £2! I'm never sure which style of sunglasses suits me so I usually just buy loads and hope for the best. I'm off to Portugal for 16 days in a few weeks so I'm attempting to achieve some sort of base tan, it's not going terribly but I'm still incredibly pale!

Although I adore the sunshine, the A/W previews are getting me so excited for Winter! I'm incredibly impressed with Lily's photos of the New Look preview! I feel like I need pretty much all of it!

Firstly, apologies for such a long break! I finished uni, started working and just totally forgot how to make time it seems! Secondly, apologies for the fact that my entire outfit is Topshop! I always try and avoid that but sometimes it just happens!

I got back from Zante last monday after spending a week at the Ionis Art Hotel and I can honestly say it was the best week ever! Most of the days it was 40C+, absolutely perfect! Was so depressing getting off the plane back in England and being greeted by cold and rain. 

I went to the Christian Louboutin exhibition in London on friday, which was amazing. I've always loved Louboutin shoes but they've never been something I'd particularly lusted after - until now! I'm pretty sure I'll be saving forever (I'm the worst saver ever) but once I buy some I think I'll feel a bit accomplished! 

What's everyone else been up to?

saying nothing, that's enough for me

Playsuit: Ark

Jumper: Topshop

Flatforms: H&M

Earrings: Forever 21

Necklace: Gift

I absolutely love this playsuit, especially the detailing of the cut-outs on the sides! They definitely make it a more distinguished piece. I sometimes find the sizings in Ark can be a little off; there's been a few occasions where I haven't been able to buy something because none of the sizes fit me. Generally the clothes are lovely though, I especially love this , this and these!

Once again I've been spending hours in the library trying to complete my assignments. Time seems to go so quickly when I'm procrastinating though! Counting down the days until May 8th - when I'm free!
