Amsterdam OOTD // Weekend Edition

Hello lovelies,

Since being back at university I haven't been blogging. Not because I don't want too but I've actually become head of fashion & beauty for the university magazine, meaning that I've been up to my eyeballs in writing and editing articles... Alongside a mountain of work! But, I've started a module all about blogging and I remembered just how much I missed my blog so what better way to restart than to post my first outfit of the day (OOTD) post from my trip to Amsterdam. 

I spent the weekend in Amsterdam for my boyfriends birthday (giving him the lovely job of taking millions of photos of me) and thought I'd take snaps of what I was wearing as lately I've been really into wearing and trying new looks. I'll do my best to link the original items but alternatives might be in place as I do a lot of my shopping in vintage shops here in Leicester. 

Enjoy!

Day 1- From airport to Amsterdam

Finding something comfortable but stylish for your first day can be a bit of a mission but culottes are perfect! They can be dressed up but also dressed down so I decided to pair them with some Stan Smiths and an oversized washed out denim jacket.

Culottes 

Adidas Stan Smiths 

Denim jacket (Similar) 

Day 2 - Red accents

Red has swiftly become my all time favourite colour and this beanie I found in Bershka Amsterdam adds a pop of colour to a relatively monochrome outfit. I've also been loving my denim skirt and find pairing it with an oversized hoodie can keep you warm as well as comfy. Not sure you've noticed yet but comfort for me is key!

 Day 3 - Oversized everything

T-shirt dresses and band tee's have been in all summer and have been coming into the colder months as a layering option. I found pairing this dress with another oversized item of clothing worked really well. The jacket is an old school vintage Nike waterproof that adds some colour to the outfit. Every person in the world seems to own a pair of Vans and I don't blame them. These shoes are go with every single outfit ever and are super comfortable!

I used the same bag throughout the trip but unfortunately I brought it so long ago and abroad that I have no idea where you could find it from! If any of you know any designs similar please comment below I'd love to be able to find an alternative!

Photo diary // South of France

Hello lovelies,

Whilst I am writing this I should be unpacking my mountain of holiday clothes but the thought of all that washing is just too much! Yesterday I got back from my family holiday to Saint-Aulaye in the south of France so I thought I'd do another one of my photo diary posts as my others have been really popular with you all. 

Saint-Aulaye is a beautiful little village in the countryside of France. Luckily the weather was absolutely beautiful and I was able to explore the surrounding villages.  I also made sure I took loads of outfit pictures so they will be coming soon in another blogpost all about my outfit choices throughout the holiday!

Hope you enjoy my snap-shots! 

An adorable snack-shack in the centre of Saint-Aulaye which made the most amazing crepes.

Found a tiny little family run bakery. The owner made these amazing croissants. 

Riberic had a chocolatier that sold these macaroons.

They also sold loads of different sweet treats!

Outside they had an old fashioned ice cream cart that sold loads of different ice cream flavours.

A beautiful snap of Saint-Aulaye's main street.

One of the villages we drove through on our way home.

Saint-Aulaye had a huge river that they decided to make into a beach.

One of the surrounding villages called Riberic.

Me and Ciar by the river.

The street just outside of Saint-Aulaye.

My happy little sausage dog enjoying her first ever swim!

Another beautiful scenic photograph in our village. The photos do not do the place justice.

*Disclaimer* All photos were taken on my iPhone so sorry for the not so great quality.

Photo diary // Amsterdam

Hello lovelies,

My photo diary posts are my absolute fav to sit down and create so I thought I'd do another one on my quick New Years trip to Amsterdam. Me and boyfriend booked this trip back in November and I'd been desperate to go ever since. 

We only spent three days in this beautiful city but managed to get so many touristy things done! I loved taking photos of the streets and of our food ect. (watch out for a mouth watering pancake pic!) However, as I've said before I am by no means a professional photographer and all my photos were taken on my iPhone 6s. 

I hope you enjoy taking a look at some of the memories I have made and I hope to carry on blogging about my travels later on this year! 

Love B x

Photo diary // A weekend in Paris Part 2

Hello lovelies! Firstly, thank you for the lovely comments on my part 1 of this photo diary post. I love reading your comments:) I hope you enjoy this part too!

So, if you haven't read my part 1 of my trip to Paris you can do here. After being complete tourists for the day and taking a billion photos of the beautiful city, we headed off to spend our last full day at Disneyland!!! I couldn't believe it when Ciaran told me, he has defo pulled this one out the bag! It was a magical and amazing day. I was like a big kid with my Minnie mouse ears. No matter how old you are, you are NEVER too old to visit Disneyland!<3

Me and Ciaran took about 100 photos outside the castle...

I was in my element shopping in the Disney shop! I brought so much... ops!

Tried to persuade Ciaran we needed these hats... didn't work...

The castle was unreal. I still can't get over how amazing it was.

Photo diary // A weekend in Paris Part 1

Hello lovelies, I've never done a photo diary post before but I have so many beautiful photos I would love to share with you all. So, I hope you don't mind this post not being beauty related!:D

This valentines was perfect for me and in no way am I bragging I just am so happy I got to go to Paris as I've been dreaming about going for years. Me and my boyfriend went to the romantic capital for 3 nights and it was our first ever trip abroad alone. Ciaran (my boyfriend) brought me this trip as my christmas present so I have been looking forward to this since November! This first post will be about the day we spent being complete tourists and the second part will be about the day we spent at Disneyland!! Enjoy photo browsing my lovelies<3
