My Parisian Style Diary

Hey guys, finally got a chance to grab my boyfriends computer for a couple of hours to get a few post done about my amazing trips over this summer. As you guys already know I was super fortunate enough to have spent 3 whole weeks in Madrid. But I also spent 4 days in Paris, France with my amazing boyfriend at the end of July! 

Just thought I'd share some of my looks with you guys...

...I might just actually be an outfit repeater!! But its okay, its holiday clothes, worn in a different country...please tell me its okay!

But i really do adore this outfit from Berska! 

Eeep! My favey Zara silk  Moroccan style dress, looked amazing on the Eiffel Tower at night! 

This dress is actually one of my purchases in Manchester from Topshop, as it has an almost two piece design it definitely flatters my body shape atm! (Which I will do a haul of ALL of the amazing things I bought that weekend)

I am so gutted I didn't get a full length shot of this outfit because I LOVED IT! It was my little H&M striped crop top paired with a white midi skirt and nude heels...I will defs be wearing this again!

Lots of Love,

GAY PRIDE!

Oh my frickin god..I have never experienced anything so amazing in my whole life as the Gay Pride Padard in Madird! It was huuuuge and uber fabulous...think Rocky Horror Show meets Eurovison! 

Just thought it show you some of the photos I captures on Saturday of the parade. 

Note to self - next time, bring alcohol!! Could you imagine how much MORE fun it could have been (also there doesn't seem to be any laws in drinking on the street in Spain)

The place was just covered in rainbow flags..amazing! 

The fashion was some what interesting...yet totally fabulous at the same time! 

I do extremely recommend that if you are in Madrid at the time the parade is held you should 100% go! It's such a beautiful thing to be a part of. 

Also a quick outfit plan! - 

Topshop Cami Vest

H&M Skirt

Madrid Part Dos

Hey guys! So it's been two weeks in Madrid so far, I cannot believe how quickly it's went in, I'm having the most amazing time with the most wonderful people! Just thought I'd share a few little photos with you and let you guys know what I'm getting up to and oh yeh what I'm wearing!! 

Also if you's are really interested we are writing a blog together for university purposes - www.adlm-madrid.blogspot.com this has a lot more info than my personal post, about uni and daily up dates of our adventure!! 

Here's yet another pic from Kapital last Saturday, I can't stress enough just how amazing it was. Seriously out of this world amazing! I just love how bright my dress looks in this picture! 

This cute little selfie is from our trip to Las Rozas (a definte go for all you fashion lovers travelling to Madrid) I purchased a Micheal Kors purse and a cute pair of havainas!

Ignore my pale legs but here's my baby Micheal!! All I need is a bag...to match....is that asking too much? 

Little close up of my outfit - 

H&M Divided croptop

H&M Trend shorts

H&M Divided sandals 

H&M necklace 

Vivenne Westwood Bag

...you wouldn't be able to tell that I work in H&M would you? 

La Rozas Outlet Village was just beautiful I do strongly recommend it. As well as a great shopping destination it's a beautiful setting with a lovely resteraunt and Starbucks. 

Which is where I recieved this...Tania...Tania...Danielle...Tania?? Where the hell did they get that from? Starbucks really need to re think there "names on cups" stragey when a language barrier is involved! 

After Las Rozas, we chose a resteraunt serving traditional Spanish tapas and cocktails! As I cannot remember the name I can't recommend it but it was lovely and also Mr Gaypride was on a few streets away so it provided a buzzing atmosphere! 

And what's a holiday without a typical smiley cocktail pic! 

Outfit - 

Stradivarius Skirt

H&M Trend Vest 

Mango Bag

Six Sunglasses

Holá

Hey guys, I'm finally able to post whilst I'm in Madrid, sorry for the lack of posting recently. Trying to organise this trip/work to afford it, has been hectic! But I'm here and having an amaaaaazing time! 

Here's just a little picture of me heading off to the airport (which was awfully emotional! Like Marley and Me x 100 amounts of tears) 

Outfit plan: 

H&M Trend skirt 

Topshop jeggins 

Ed Hardey Scarf 

H&M sandals (which are soo comfy btw)

And Zara bag..which I got in the sale for £50, which is huge! And has lots of zips for all the crap I need. 

Here's just one of those typical airplane pictures..since Kumba was asleep most of the way to London...I got bored. 

Finally after about 7 hours travelling (with thankfully no delays) we got to our apartment! 

Our classes usually consist of a lecture I the morning and a trip in the afternoon. We visited Retiro Park, which is apparently double the size of Central Park. It was gorgoues! 

Outfit Plan : 

H&M basis strapless top

ASOS Daisy Shorts 

Primark blue/gold sandals 

And Zara bag 

H&M sunnies (which I have now bought new ones since I suddenly realised they do not suit my face!!)  

Not too bad when your uni is located next to all these beaut shops!! Eeek perfecto fashion ogling! 

 

Also I am really enjoying the Spanish brands here's like Beshka and Stradivarius. Bought a few little things since I am on a fashion course...I'm right...sure? 

Shopping Spree : 

Zara grey cardigan (it gets cold at night) 

Bershka skirt (top right) 

Bershka crop white top 

Stradivarius white full skirt

Six sun glasses (that suit my face soooo much better) 

I'll post again soon! 

Lots of love

Summer Outfit Ideas

Hey guys sorry I haven't been on the blogging scene lately, I seem to drop in and out every so often because of work and the like. But I have been itching to write a blog about the pieces I'm going to feature today for a while. They have been on my "Summer Wish List' (mostly screen shots on my iPhone).

Heres a simple but chic way to work bold prints during the summer months whether you are travelling abroad or enjoying the wonderful British summer time! 

Firstly, this beaut white crop top by Pull&Bear, a brand I found on ASOS recently. 

I really like the structured look to the crop top and the little triangle cut out makes it stand out and gives you the opportunity to show of more of your gorgeous tan!

This absolutely fabulous bold print full of delicious-ness skirt is from H&M, their Trend collection is TO DIE FOR this summer! With so many interestingly unique pieces that you wouldn't really find anywhere else on the high street at such a reasonable price.

There is also a crop top with the same print for all you co-ord crazy folk out there! I just think it is a gorgeous classic style skirt that would flatter most body shapes. 

Now for my favourite bit...Accessories! 

I do love experimenting with accessories with outfits because I feel thats what totally defines it.

This LuLu Guinness is just FAN-tasitic (you'll get that pun in a sec). I think with the red print skirt it almost gives off a Spanish dancer vibe and when I saw this clutch it was a must have for this particular summer outfit idea.

Ahhh! Don't you just LOOOOVE IT! 

Finally a little pair of black strappys from Zara, with such a thin ankle strap it won't cut off your legs and make you look short, it will actually extend your legs as straps almost "wrap around" the foot instead of cutting it off. 

These little add ons will just give it that vava vooom you need for maybe a night time affair 

MAC Lipstick, I mean I am no make up expert but you really really can't go wrong with Russian Red MAC lipstick! 

Pull your hair up in a high messy bun and put on a pair of these honeys! 

... 

If only eh! A pair of Dior sunglasses! 

There will be many more of these blogs to come guys! Since I am preparing to head to Madrid for 3 weeks during summer to study of course outfit choices will be my main priority! So there would be a few little post purchase blogs, and if any of yous have been to Madrid let me know of super fashionable places I can visit!

Soo Delish!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while! Been so busy with work and uni, but thankfully that's university all finished for the summer so I'll be getting back to my weekly posts! 

As you may know from my personal social media sites I am going to Paris in July with my boyfriend. So trying to find outfits for our 3 night stay in Paris and our 2 night stay in Manchester is proving difficult since I want to buy about 100 different outfits and all with shoes to match! So every week I will post a Paris Wish List and maybe some information on what we will be doing in Paris, where we will be eating, shopping and having an amaaaaazing time! 

Also recently I found this beaut website called Yumi, that sell the sweetest little dresses perf for summer! 

Just like this flowery number! Which also comes in a dusty pink colour, but I do particularly love this blue its so on trend right now! and its down from £55 to £44 right now. 

Perfect for walking around Paris on a sunny day in July, don't yah think?
