Travel With Me: Pisa, Florence & Rome

Welcome to another travel post! 

I have recently returned from a two week trip in Europe which consisted of a week in Italy and a second week relaxing by the beach in Greece. I wanted to talk about the first week in Italy where we visited Pisa, Florence and Rome in the space of 8 days. I wanted to share this part of the trip in particular as I felt that we spent the right amount of time in each city. I will include information about our travelling arrangements between the cities, favourite landmarks & of course, food and drink places.

Pisa - 1.5 days

When we did our research on Pisa, we read that the average time needed to explore the area is 0.5 days so we knew that there may not be much to do there. We travelled to Pisa on a Saturday and as we had an afternoon flight, we travelled from Norwich to Stansted on the train which I always find quite easy and also pretty cheap as we all know, airport parking isn't exactly a bargain. We arrived in Pisa at around 5pm and were at our Airbnb by around 6pm. We went for dinner at a restaurant very local to apartment but didn't do much exploring until the next day. 

OUTFIT FAVES: JUNE & JULY

Hello everyone

I want this to be about the pictures so I will keep this introduction short and sweet. Here is a post about the outfits I have been loving recently. All of these outfits have been purchased within the last month and all the details will be included below. It's a mixture of evening and day time outfits, 3 out of 4 can be styled for both times of the day. PS. you might see a theme, I have clearly spent a lot of time in Topshop.

OUTFIT 1-  RED, WHITE AND BLACK

Top - Nobody's Child @ Topshop

Joni Jeans - Topshop (because what other black jeans even exist?)

Clutch Bag - Topshop

Shoes - Birkenstock Madrid 1 Bar Mule (from Office)

I actually wore this outfit for my birthday dinner - casual but cute!

Travel With Me: Nice & Monaco

Happy Sunday everybody,

This time last week I was exploring the beautiful streets of Nice and today I'm writing a blog post all about it for you all to enjoy.

We went on a short break to Nice last week (4 days, 3 nights) and had such an amazing time, it's definitely a place that I would recommend to everybody to visit. I know you're probably thinking, South of France? that's got to be pretty expensive BUT quite surprisingly, we managed to do it for a really good price and I'll be spilling all of the details so you can also bag yourself a bargain!

OTTD: Red Stripes & Drawstring Trousers

Good afternoon,

I hope you have all been enjoying the sunshine. I have decided to do an Outfit of The Day post today as I have been on a bit of a shopping spree recently and have gained some real statement pieces to my wardrobe. I'll be telling you where my outfit is from and why I love it so much.

REVIEW: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

Good evening everybody, this post (as I'm sure you guessed by the title) is a review of the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. I have been lusting after this foundation for a long, long time and finally took the plunge and decided to buy it. As much as I would like to be telling you about how much I love this foundation, especially when I spent £40 on it, I am just really not all that impressed.
Below I will outline my main points of disappointment with this product.

FACE OF THE DAY: Modern Renaissance Palette

Good afternoon,

I hope you are all having a lovely Sunday.

I have created yet another look using the Modern Renaissance Palette which I will be sharing on this post. It was very easy, quick and simple and as the shadows are so lovely to blend it was very painless. I think that this look that I created today can be worn during the day and you could add a little bit of eyeliner and some fake eyelashes for the night time version.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette

Hello guys,

Much like everybody else I have been lusting after the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette. A couple of weeks back I decided to give into temptation and buy the product. I bought it from Cult Beauty and after a very speedy delivery I was desperate to try out the palette. In this post I will be sharing my first impressions of the product and also letting you know how you can recreate my really easy yet very effective look.

The palette is full of gorgeous pinks and oranges and also some stunning glittery shades which are all unbelievably pigmented. The colours are also really easy to blend together to create that perfect finished look. For my first try of the palette I opted for an orangey look which will be detailed below.
