How To Dress By The Beach When The Sun Goes Down

Leave a Comment
There seems to be inspiration everywhere about what bikinis to buy, the best cover-ups of the year and which accessories are beach appropriate. However I noticed a lack of inspo on what to wear by the beach when the sun goes down. You're skin is tanned, you've had your air-conditioned nap and laid on the bed wearing only aftersun eating your LAYS. Now you're ready to get dolled up and beachy for some seaside cocktails and foreign cuisine. Here are a few looks from my trip to Mallorca to give you some ideas!

LOOK ONE: Button down dresses have been the rage of the season, they're rustic and cute, not to mention often loose so you can maximise on garlic bread.
SHOP: TOPSHOP
LOOK TWO: I do love a little hipppie gypsy vibe. When you're by the beach you can get away with accessories which might not be as accepted in the city, I wore one of these headbands to a family party and everyone, adults and children, asked why I was wearing a crown...
SHOP: DRESS- HOLLISTER SUNGLASSES- WEARHOUSE HEADBAND- STRADIVARIOUS 
LOOK THREE: It's always nice to incorporate some bright colours when beachside, and if you're into your heels, opt for something espadrillesque and quirky rather than a classic court.
SHOP: AND OTHER STORIES
LOOK FOUR: Would it even be a holiday if I didn't wear a cami dress? They're a blank canvas meaning you can go bold on accessories (and dinner) Plus white and a tan? FORGET ABOUT ITTTTTT!
SHOP: DRESS- TOPSHOP EARRINGS- H&M

How To Make Black Forest Triffles

Leave a Comment
Ok, I'll paint you a picture here. You're getting ready to have dinner and drinks at a friend's house , while you're letting your straighteners heat up you finally dare to glance at the evening's group chat, containing 2,061 messages. Somewhere in the midst of the madness you discover it's been decided that YOU are on dessert duty. Can you rock up to Julia's house , after she's made an 8 course meal from scratch using ingredients she picked up on her latest trip to Morocco, with an M&S PACKET PIE? No, you'll only feel the shame punch you in the nose as Julia claims 'oh you shouldn't have gone to any trouble'... sarccy bitch. FEAR NOT, I have here, a simple, fast and cheap solution. These tasty little Triffles take no time or skill and look fabulous... take that Julia. Hope you enjoy!

STEP ONE: Cut up some black cherries into small pieces and put into blackcurrant jelly (the packet kind of course) before it's set in their individual glasses.  This should normally take around an hour or so. You can use this time to finally choose an outfit
 STEP TWO: Whip up some chocolate Angel delight, literally pour the mix into a bowl and mix with milk, should take 5 minutes to set. Spoon this on top of the jelly evenly
 STEP THREE: CREEEEEEEEEEAMMMM. I know it's cheating but next to a Champagne pop is there any better sound than the 'ptshhhhhhhh' of canned whipped cream?! Plus you don't need the mess or hassle of whipping your own. Pile on as much of the good stuff as the glass can hold... then add some more
 STEP FOUR: Pretty please with a cherry on top! The perfect, picturesque finish to your little dessert which will give it the true professional edge. Now you can stroll to Julia's house, head held high with enough time to spare to grab a sunset selfie.
