Your 'Out Of Office' Guide To Mallorca

Leave a Comment
A-lot of my travel posts involve sharing the ways you can see and do as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. This time, after heading to Mallorca, it's a little different, sometimes we're so stuck in our routines and our schedules we forget how to simply relax. So if you've become a stressed out little city girl, running purely on caffine and God's good grace;  here's my guide to really enjoying your time 'Out Of Office' 

1. Cocktails on the beach
I'm sorry but if you can't feel relaxed watching the waves and sipping a Pina Colada then something is seriously de-wired in your brain. With each sip I slowly forgot about sweaty Central lines and Chinese shoe suppliers... maybe that one's just for my job! 
2. Take a trip to Palma
Palma is the most amazing place, it feels just like Barcelona and the old cobbled streets make you feel like you really are a million miles away from sky scrapers and guys shouting on their Iphones during lunch... PUT IT AWAY RICHARD! Most definitely worth the visit to soak up some culture and spend your time exploring independent, authentic Spanish restaurants, a distant cry from lining up in Pret-A-Manger for 20 minutes to have an office sat sandwich. 
3. Watch The sunset
Mallorca is known for amazing sunsets. It's almost impossible to hold onto big city angst when your watching nature put on its finest show so switch of your phone... ok get one photo first... then just sit back, take a deep breath and enjoy doing nothing
4. Midnight strolls
The beach during the nighttime is so peaceful. Long gone are the tourists playing bat and ball, the pale English children squelching around in factor 50 and the lookie lookie men trying to sell sunglasses. At night, you loose all the distractions and really get to appreciate the beach for what it's worth

How To Dress Like An Italian Girl

Leave a Comment
A couple of weeks ago , I made my first voyage to Italy and not just any old area- ROME. Of course in true form I was completely extra in every aspect of the trip, that meant eating Gelato at 10am, saying Ciao to everyone and anyone who would listen (sorry Lauren!) And most importantly dressing like fabulous, retro, Dolce Vita, Audrey Hepburnesque over the top lady. So if you fancy some Italian inspo in your Summer wardrobe, have a little scroll. P.S note how every outfit is loose enough to factor in gallons of Carbonara and wine.

LOOK ONE: This was our first night in Rome, our flight had been delayed, our cab driver nearly murdered us (Italians literally drive like it's Mario cart) and we'd gotten lost finding our hotel. HOWEVER that did not stop us from having a fabulous Clark Kent costume change and hitting the town. Black and white spots are the perfect Italian combo , pair it with some cat-eye shades, gold hoops and retro heels. However be warned 90% of Rome is cobbles , so bring back up flip flops, true Essex girl in me pouring out. 


SHOP: DRESS- ZARA 
LOOK TWO: Rome is really hot this time of year so don't even think about whipping out the jeans or anything tight and uncomfortable- I repeat you're gonna need to factor in food baby space. I packed more polka dots than 101 Dalmatians but it just fit the vibe I was aiming for! This rust colour is the perfect blend since it mimics the Roman street colours. Again make sure you're dripping in gold accessories, MARVELLOUS!



 SHOP: DRESS RIVER ISLAND 
LOOK THREE: Final night- meaning food bump is at full capacity. My Mum bought this dress in Portugal years ago but I've officially stolen it... soz Mum. In terms of the shoes, they never made it to store , but that's the perks of working in fashion and being a sample size! WOOP WOO, so they're specially for me I'm afraid! BASICALLY this whole outfit isn't one you can buy, but I hope it still gives you some inspiration since white lace is fabulously Dolce.
