English Summer

Get ready for a few beach based posts... 

I headed down to west wales recently for a couple of days. I've been going to the same place for the last 19 years and its become a second home to me and my family.

I decided I wanted to make the most of being by the sea and swim every day, so on one particularly clear evening I took the camera with me. 

I'm still using the Olympus and loving it, I played around with the different setting and even took a bit of video which came out beautifully! 

I however can not rock the wet hair look so photo's of me in the sea are generally a bit sketchy which I apologise for!

Cornwall 2015

Having gone to Newquay for the past 3 years now so I'm well aware that a lot of it isn't really 'my bag', however the beaches are beautiful and for surfing they are some of the best. Boardmasters is a music/surf festival based down in Cornwall, so we headed down for the weekend for a chill on the beach.
I took a new waterproof camera to give it a whiz in the sea, I absolutely loved it for the ocean, a quick shutter speed made it easy to capture candid moments and it adjusts to different lighting so well as the sun glare off the water can be a pain. I will however apologise for the varying colours of the pictures, as I was swimming I must of hit some buttons and I accidentally applied the 'art filter' which essentially made the colours more vivid which is why the pictures look so jumbled!

We started the day Harbour jumping and then headed to Fistral beach for a swim in the sea as the waves weren't anything special, we headed into town for a couple of drinks and (bad) dancing to finish the weekend. The weather was beautiful and just made the day! Every time I go to the beach it makes me wish I lived closer to the sea.

Style Memories : Paris

 Now a trip to probably my second favourite city in the world, Paris! I am always so in love with this city every time I visit, everything is just too beautiful. I have frequented this city a fair few times now but these pictures where from my 18th birthday, my mum had whisked me away for a long weekend in the city. We fell into many sugar traps on our travels, be it Angelina's hot chocolate or the Macaroons at Laduree I alway's get so excited for the food when I'm in France. 
One of my favourite places to go is the Place de le Concorde, the green and gold fountains and lamp posts just encapsulate Paris for me (and of course remind me of The Devil Wears Prada). Every time I visit I always get a picture sat on one of the fountains.  
For this outfit I'm wearing my French connection coat, it has a slight military style to it with the gold buttons either side which I really like. I paired it with some Zara leggings and my trusty Topshop Mighty boots... RIP, you served me well. 
Im unsure where the top is from, but my scarf is from ZARA, and I'm quickly learning from looking back at these pictures is that you cannot go wrong with a scarf from Zara! 
Last but not least my RB's, I try to branch out to other brands of sunnies but I just can't!

Tribeca & Tamarind

 Dress - Topshop - Shoes - Topshop

We took a trip down to Tribeca for dinner. The weather was beautiful so we wandered down to the river first, it was amazing to see how different the city is as soon as the sun comes out. Everybody was either cycling, playing volleyball or running along the Hudson. 
We went to Tamarind for dinner, which was honestly the best Indian food I've ever had! Dreaming of that curry right now,..
