The Colours of Autumn

This post is long overdue but it's hard to find the time to keep up writing regularly! As an autumn outfit post I had the perfect location to take some good pics, somewhere that defines autumn: the forest.

A few weeks back I visited the popular family holiday location Eleveden Forest, Centre Parcs. About an hour and a half out of London you reach the outskirts of Suffolk leading to Norfolk, where the forest is located. Centre Parcs, I feel (don't know if this is just me), is often stereotyped as a cliche English family holiday. I have visited a few times before in the past but only when I was younger, and always thought this; in reality it's really not. 

On returning you realise what a nice getaway place of natural beauty it is. The forest is a very homely place and the accommodation also feels as if it's your own. You are surrounded by nature not as in just the golden-coloured forest but the rabbits and even deers. There's many things to do as well including hiring your own bike, playing sports, shopping and all that jazz. I mean once you've done that there's not much else - that's why it's best to go with a big group of friends/family so there's a lot of people doing all different activities at once...not really a getaway-for-two type of place. Despite the array of activities that make it such a popular family location, the best part is definitely having a lodge that's hidden away between the rows of trees, overcrowded in nature. 

Anyways check out some photos below of my autumnal outfit and hopefully it gives you some inspiration to wrap up warm and add some colour to the nearing dark winter months.

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.

Blue Bohemian in Dubai


Printed top: Primark 
Culottes style shorts: Asos 
Wide-rimmed hat: Primark 
Sandals: Primark

Due to the 40 degree heat in Dubai I was able to bust out some of my old summer clothes and also was obligated to buy some new ones. One of the outfits I wore is shown in the pictures above. 
This top caught my eye in Primark with its patterned boho vibe and the cute bobble fringing. Although the material is not the best quality, I was won over at the price of only £6! 
I love culottes shorts as they aren't tight or short, have a modest length and are straight cut. Therefore they can suit a classier evening look with heels and keep you cool in those summer nights. I got these in the sale a few years back so they won't be available on Asos sadly, however, the top and hat were recent buys and should still be available in Primark. 
The wide-rimmed hat is wearable in winter and summer, providing good protection from the sun or cold weather but still instantly transform a simplistic outfit. 

Thanks for reading!
