How I'd love to go to Paris again

So I thought I'd finally get around to sharing a post about my adventures in France; as something that is an annual staple of both my online and offline calendar, it would surely be rude not to. 

However, rather than try and explain the trip through my (often rambling and highly incoherent) words, I thought I'd share a little visual diary. The reason Paris will always have a place in my heart is just how inspiring and beautiful I find it. Whether it's the sun dappled streets or sharply dressed locals, there's something about the city which captures my imagination and wills me to want to explore.

What's your favourite city?

Oh my Gamiss!

Denim Skirt

Floral Playsuit

Off Shoulder Blouse

Wait, hold up. Is that me in clothes that actually look *gasps* summery? I know, right - I'm shocked too. But these pieces I was so kindly gifted by Gamiss were too perfect to resist.

This skirt was something usually out of my comfort zone, but that raw hem was enough to sway me. It makes me feel like a cool instagram girl who has her life perfectly put together. Does anyone else have those transformative items in their wardrobe? Giving them the power to feel like a better version of themself? Maybe it's a shame that I have to rely on clothes to help me feel like this, but until I'm able to do so independently, I'm happy to hide behind a nice denim skirt.

Seriously, how beautiful are the colours on this playsuit? Florals are not usually my cup of tea, but the muted soft tones swirled within the flowery pattern are so subtly summery, even a closet goth like myself couldn't help falling in love. The material is soft and light, ideal for an evening out or (ideally) weekend away somewhere warm. Pass me another pina colada.

I feel ready to walk along the French Riviera in this floaty number, sipping something sweet beneath an oversized hat. Easy to dress down with shredded jeans and choker and then dress up with a pair of heels in the evening. Crisp and white and so pleasingly opaque, I feel more ready for a holiday than ever.

What's your holiday staple?

Can you see the ocean now?

top - Dressin

sunglasses - Dressin

trousers - Primark

boots - ebay

necklace - ebay

waistcoat - ebay

Although missing the slightly sunnier skies, I am glad to have clicked my heels three times and returned home. This outfit represents the basis for the majority of my holiday ensembles - minimal pieces that I could use in multiple combinations.

Aside from when I was in Disney of course i.e. cue light up shoes and Mickey Mouse featuring heavily.

Do excuse the rather photo heavy post, hope you are enjoying your summer! <3
