It's December....which means winter and Christmas!
Every year my sister and I travel up to London and enjoy a Christmas day together. This usually means Winter Wonderland, Harrods, Selfridges and Christmas lights down Oxford Street!
It was a crisp, freezing cold, sunny day which mean't I could wear my new leopard print faux fur longline coat. I am a strong believer in that style has very little to do with money, and this coat certainly did not break the bank. Designer pieces are always copied by high-street brands.....it's just about hunting them down!
I instantly picked up this coat because one; it was longline and two; I liked the original classic print. To be worn raffishly, freely or not at all. I went all-out!!
Don't be afraid to wear those fierce animal prints..... x
Not quite ready for the Christmas Countdown my sister and I escaped the cold UK and hopped on an Emirates flight to Dubai....
Sunbathing, shopping, camel riding, dhow boat trips, and the unforgettable fountains at the Dubai Mall. Just one last holiday to end 2016 and a chance to tick one more thing off the bucket list with a trip to the desert!
Definitely a memorable trip I would recommend to anyone visiting Dubai. Dune bashing, sunset photographs, camel riding, henna hand painting, three-course dinner and belly dancing at the Bedouin style camp..... FANTASTIC!
Wishing for an endless summer? Trying to cling to your sunny staples?!! I definitely am!
Autumn is officially here......which sadly means wearing more clothes. Even on our last night in Portugal, it was chilly. But it did mean I could wear my new favourite dress from Zara #thatdress
Flowy, easy, flattering and bang on trend.... I cannot stop wanting to wear this dress! Button cuffs, buttoned back and feminine frilled hemline, I appreciate the small details on this dress.
Minimal accessories and an effortless bun... this look was all about the dress. Just remember subtlety is key....
Time to unwind on the powder-soft sands of São Rafael ...
I love feeling free; no make-up, beach hair and sunkissed skin. Why not make the most of my swimwear collection?!
I am addicted to wonderful swimwear and can admit I have too many bikini's! Calzedonia being my guilty pleasure for swimwear shopping when in Portugal! From fringed bandeau's, to broderie anglaise and sporty one-pieces they offer so many different swim styles.
When I saw the sporty swimwear trend was back on the scene this summer I was lusting for this Breezy sport tank top and bottoms. Sculpting crop tops, geometric shapes and sporty briefs are great for showing off an athletic body. Normally I enjoy wearing colours but the black and white simplicity help accentuate my tan!
After hours, days and months of rain in the UK my Portuguese Paradise was calling!
With my packed essentials; cotton dresses, sunnies, hat and swimwear.... my sister and I were off. The trip was spent relaxing on our favourite beaches, eating wonderful cuisine and catching up with our friends. Simply the best feeling when we touch down in our second home... we never want to leave!
Finally felt like summer in Salgados which = dresses! Simple, easy, loose and cool. No need to even need to think about how to co-ordinate, just slip it on and you are away! Easy breezy...
One of the best places to stroll in the late afternoon and evenings was just down from our villa. The most picturesque palm walk way....
