Places to Visit | Amsterdam

I know, I know, another holiday/break away this year! This weekend I traveled to Amsterdam for one of my friends 21^st birthday. During our time away, we visited the Anne Frank museum, which was such a memorable experience.  Our short break away also consisted of long walks down the canals and looking at all the amazing graffiti work around. 

We also found this amazing bar called Chicago Boom Town where they played an arrangement of soul and funk music which was a nice alternative venue from places back home. I would recommend visiting Amsterdam if you are looking for a short break away with interesting history and culture. I would absolutely love to visit the city again!  

Places to visit | Florence

Recently I was lucky enough to attend a university trip to Florence, Italy. Our stay was only for a few nights but the sights and a weather, which made such a short trip so much more worthwhile. The hotel we stayed in was the Leonardo da Vinci hotel which was very contemporary inside and was only a short walk from the Piazza del Duomo which is a central point of Florence. 

 The 8th picture featured is the view standing on the Ponte Vecchio, if you keep on walking over the bridge you will see an abundance of jewellery and boutique style shops. Whilst visiting the city you will never be shy of authentic Italian restaurants and various flavours of 'gelato' which is ice cream or sorbets, but if you are not a fan of Italy food there is also alternative restaurants available. 

Whilst visiting the city we were given the opportunity to visit the Gucci Museum and the Salvatore Ferragamo Musuem, unfortunately you are unable to take pictures in both galleries however it was still such an amazing experience and comes highly recommended. Within the centre of Florence there are quite a few places to grab a drink or cocktails and when looking in the right places most bars have cocktail offers Fri-Sat. However, I personally found that there were not many 'clubbing' places and if so they could be quite costly. 

Florence is an absolutely beautiful and highly historic city with amazing views and food. I would definitely recommend visiting the city when wanting to travel to Italy, I would love to visit the city again! 

                                               

Style Crush | Suki Waterhouse

British supermodel Suki Waterhouse has been noticed through her unique personal style and is arguably set to become an internationally sensation. This multi-talented model, actress and photographer is regularly on the front row of Christopher Bailey’s Burberry Prorsum presentations. I absolutely adore her choice of style, bold colours and vintage inspired style and for this reason Suki Waterhouse is my celebrity style crush of September.

Want of the week || Zara Skorts

Zara mini skort - £24.99    (skorts = skirt + shorts)

Now I know I'm probably the last fashion blogger to blog about these notorious Zara 'Skorts' but better late then never right? These 'skorts' have been seen all over the 'blogsphere' this summer and I think they are an absolutely gorgeous piece. Zara for me never fail in designing simple, elegant pieces that take the fashion world by storm (or at least the blogging world anyway). Zara has not only succeeded in fueling the 'skorts' trend, Zara strappy heeled sandals have also been a must have piece this summer. I feel it may be a bit late in the season for me to buy these mini skorts however, Zara have brought out a pair of grey pinstriped skorts meaning the trend maybe here to stay throughout A/W?? 

What do you think of this trend? Love it or hate it? I would love to hear you thoughts on it!

Want of the week || Oriental Kimono

Love Oriental Kimono £40

I always think that kimono's are the perfect piece for spring summer, they are light-weight and easy to throw over anything. This floral print is the perfect edition for a summer wardrobe. Easy to wear with a plain top and jeans or on holiday over a cute black bikini. I'm going on holiday in a few weeks and I think this would be the perfect piece to wear in Turkey. In love with fashion also offer 15% for students and free UK delivery  so it's the perfect time to buy this kimono before the weather starts to get chilly again!

Monday Motivation 02#

Today's motivational quote takes inspiration from the day I had yesterday, ugh and what I day it was! Do you ever have one of those days when the day you had planned in your head turns out a completely different way, everything goes wrong and all you just want to go back home and start the day again? Yea me too! Yesterday was one of those days. So I thought I would take the time this morning to look for my motivational quote for the day and remind myself that 'if every day was perfect there would be no need for tomorrow'. Today is a new day also my day off and I should forget about all the stresses from yesterday and seize the day!

What has motivated you this Monday Morning?
