City of Ljubljana and Lake Bled, Slovenia

Firstly upon flying from Gatwick to Corfu, we sailed for a day on the cruise ship until reaching the port of Koper in Slovenia. In Slovenia, we took a coach to the capital city of Ljubljana which looked deserted upon arrival. However the town square was full of life: picturesque cafes, restaurants, and shops with the Ljubljanica River flowing around the busy streets. Later we travelled to Lake Bled which we observed from the highest point of the medieval Bled Castle exhibiting the beautiful view of the lake surrounded by mountains and the town. The Lake is open to the public for recreation such as rowing as well as fishing. The photographs don't really give any justice to the beauty really but I did my best of capturing the moment. Of course, though, the best way to visualise it is to go and see for yourself!

The Adriatic Explorer

 Recently I went on a cruise around the Adriatic Sea exploring multiple European countries in a short space of time.




Although we had a limited time to explore the various locations it is undoubtedly an exciting (and hectic) way to visit different countries. We spent seven days away with one day at sea and five days in a new location everyday. I will be posting more details and hopefully give you a glimpse into these stunning places!





Day 1 - Day at Sea
Day 2 - Koper, Slovenia
Day 3 - Venice, Italy
Day 4 - Split, Croatia
Day 5 - Dubrovnik, Croatia
Day 6 - Kotor, Montenegro

The weather on the ship was windy yet, there was still direct sunlight and therefore summer clothes could still be worn. These flared trousers were the perfect accompaniment to this black halter neck top as it provided not too much cover up and both items are light to wear in the heat. I fell in love with these 70s-style flares as I had been looking for a funky pair that don't swallow up the shape of the body and this pair from H&M for £9.99 (bargain) met the requirements! The accessories worn make it look like I've made more of an effort with this outfit ha.

The Perfect LBD

LBD: ASOS

The classic LBD must be elegant, flattering and obviously black! I found my perfect match at ASOS during the summer sales with this lacy asymmetrical number. The wraparound style with asymmetric hem makes it up-to-date and instantly upgrades the dress from simple to sophisticated. The lace acts as a light cover up of the arms and back for modesty and also distinguishes it from other styles; it adds an extra element to the details of the dress. 

Based on my personal opinion I also think the dress looks much more expensive that I got it for, the material is of a good quality and overall fits the body well. Previously it was £65.00 but is now £19.50 an extremely reasonable price for an classy dress that can be worn to a variety of different occasions. The dress is still available currently on the ASOS site but in a limited amount of sizes.
