Chalkidiki - Greece Part 1

 

 Last week myself and my family went on a little holiday to Chalkidhiki in Greece. We stayed at the amazing IKOS Oceania resort just 45 minutes from Thessaloniki Airport. The resort had everything you could ever want, a relaxing spa for you to unwind ( where I had my first ever full body massage, don't think I've ever felt more relaxed), numerous pools, a variety of daily activities such as tennis, football, bike riding (if you need a little break from all that tanning), evening entertainment, Michelin star a la carte restaurants and jazzy night-time bars serving you endless rounds of drinks.

Unfortunately we didn't have the best weather whilst we were out there, it is the rainy season for Greece after all. It also ruined my hope and determination of getting a tan!! But, it didn't turn out as such a negative as it forced us away from lounging around the pool/beach and made us venture out and explore more of Chalkidiki.

 

To infinity and beyond... The view from our pool was breath-taking looking out onto the sea. And if you were out early enough, you could even be lucky enough to spot some dolphins :)

Ralph Lauren Runway Show Live Stream here in Piccadilly Circus

 

 

 

 Yesterday afternoon, we took a break from work and joined the hundreds of people in the buzzing London streets to watch the Ralph Lauren SS16 Runway Collection. It was the first global brand to collaborate with Periscope to live stream the show straight from New York on the billboards in Piccadilly Circus. We all gathered round in anticipation of what next year will bring for us at Ralph Lauren. The Collection brought us striking sea-side stripes, sexy silky silhouettes and luxury leathers.

The RL Spring Collection found inspiration in the "relaxed elegance of the French Riviera" which has always been a classic running theme through-out the brand.  

 

Here are a few of my favourite looks from the nautical inspired collection for those who have not yet seen :)

SKIRT- H&M (old) JUMPER- H&M (old) HEELS- RALPH LAUREN/ RAINCOAT- ZARA

I have always wanted to do ballet. Every since I was a little girl I would get asked " What would you like to be when you're older Taylor?", "A ballerina of course". Somehow I think this is the closest I'll ever be to wearing pretty tutu skirts and ballet shoes.  

I bought these heels from Ralph Lauren with this skirt in mind, I knew it would be the perfect pink combo. Today I paired one of my favourite skirts with this heavy jumper, I love the contrast between the chunky knit and floaty skirt. The weather has been so unpredictable lately so just in case it rained, I had my pastel pink raincoat close to hand to pop on top.

 

Have a great week!

playful playsuit

 

 

I can't get enough of off-the-shoulder everything this summer.

A. Because they look great and B. Well, because no one wants any of those awkward tan lines. Not that I got much of a tan this summer anyway. It's pretty much non-existent even after going to Greece and Vegas (Vegas post to come very soon...) All it can come down to is that there is something definitely wrong with the sun this year. Yes, that's it :(
 I am going back to Greece in a couple of weeks which I am so exited about. Hopefully I'll be able to achieve a nice sun-kissed glow.

I am loving this little white playsuit from ASOS. It's playful, easy to wear and flirty. I adore the delicate lace trim neckline, it's so pretty against your skin. The embroidered flowers on the side of the sleeves and pockets are such a cute detail and work hand in hand with my embroidered clutch my sister bought for me from Vietnam.

 

Hope you have a great week!

Frame Denim

Denim Jeans (All) - FRAME / Top- FRAME

Well it's about time I bought myself some jeans. I've never been much of a jean person... and now I know why... I've never owned a pair of jeans that actually fit me perfectly like these Frame Denims! 

Last week I helped out at the Frame Denim sample sale, it was great fun, although, I wouldn't say the same for my bank account. I wasn't at all interested in these numerous styles of denims; boyfriend, skinny, ripped, flare. I mean how many different styles do you need. But then I tried on a pair... and without thinking, ended up buying 6. Whoops.

Above are some of my favourite buys.

1. I'm so in love with these flares, they fit like a glove and the proportions are cut perfectly.

2. I haven't had a good pair of white jeans in a long time, I especially love these with the cool panelling and frayed seams down the leg. White jeans are always a must for the summer. 

3.My 3rd pair of denims are great for every occasion. Although they have 1 rip at the knee, I still like that they are quite subtle and not shredded all over.

Now I can finally understand why girls feel so good in their jeans :)
