Sunday Adventures in the Sun (featuring Firmoo)

Sunday Adventures in the Sun (featuring Firmoo)

Comment   

Now that exams are looming, for those who are students, like myself, the sun has spitefully come out in England whilst we are all crammed inside studying out butts off! Sunny days are one of nature's finest - something that can simply make my mood for the rest of the day. Therefore, my revision was taken to a much prettier landscape, in hope to motivate my procrastinating tendencies at this time of year. 

My boyfriend and I absolutely love to go for walks and discover new places. Today we decided to keep this Sunday adventure to a minimum and keep it within easy walking distance from my home, as we didn't manage to leave the house until four this afternoon. We equipped ourselves with a picnic blanket, revision material, sweets and plenty of cold water. Hydration is one of worst possible things, for physical and psychological process in the body, so make sure if you do revise in the sun, you are regularly consuming water. On sunny days like this (27 degrees celcius! FINALLY!!) I cannot resist the temptation of wearing a nice outfit and photographing it; the sun makes everything seem much more picturesque.

The weather was extremely humid, signalling loose clothing and strappy sleeves. Accompanying my outfit, I wore a plain brown rucksack to help carry all the necessities to our revision site. I tied my lightly-curled hair into a high pony - wearing my hair down is a huge no-go when the weather is hot, I cannot stand the my hair clinging to my skin.

My Outfit: 

Playsuit - Primark

Shoes - New look

Rucksack - Forever 21

Sunglasses - Firmoo

Fortunately, we found a quiet spot on a large field surrounded by trees and other greenery - only a couple of dog walkers passed by in the 3 hours we spent there! I love when the sun is hidden behind the trees; when the rays reflect through the branches I find it impossible to not take a photo. We chilled, revised and admired the nature surrounding us - the heat and atmosphere got us so excited for our two week holiday next year. If you guys have any recommendations of hot countries then let me know in the comments below.

My top essential for a sunny day would honestly be sunglasses - sun damage to the eyes is one of the most dangerous things you can expose your body to. My eyes also seem very sensitive to brightness so tinted sunglasses are a life-saver in the sun to prevent my eyes from watering like crazy! These beautifully crafted sunglasses were gifted to me by a brand called Firmoo; they offer an incredible range of prescription, and non prescription, glasses to their buyers. I was very impressed with the swift delivery and to see my shades encased in a stunning, rustic map glasses case. The pink frame and gold detailing is very flattering alongside the insane defined reflective feature. Reflective glasses are THE one, as you will all know if you've stuck by my little blog for some time.

After packing all of our bits and bobs, we left off for home. However, we got distracted by the pretty fields that were on the opposite side of the road to our revision zone. Being both very excited as the sun was starting to beautifully set on the landscape, we decided to take some final images of our little day journey.

Don't forget to check out Firmoo to see their stunning range of (sun)glasses! Let me know which ones are you favourites from their website down below!?

Lots of love

Festival Vibes

The weather is slowly, but surely, becoming warmer and the night's are becoming lighter. We all know what this means right? Festival season has begun and I couldn't be more excited to see my favourite celebrities in their designer wear rocking their classic festival style looks. Whilst I'm dreaming that I'm at Coachella having the time of my life, I'm really standing in my garden, under the sun's mere glow and dressed in a more affordable outfit.

Festivals are all about the denim shorts and pretty, colourful crop tops. As I'm not very 'body-confident', I like to wear something that either covers my stomach or my legs to make me feel a little more relaxed and at ease. The worst feeling is being uncomfortable, especially when you're supposed to be having a good time. Thus, I've opted for this super comfy, loose playsuit with a deep cut V.

The patterns are something that instantly intrigued me; I'm a huge pan of intricately patterend clothing and was so happy to get my hands on it. Also, the rustic orange colour complimented my dark hair and wouldn't draw too much attention to myself as it isn't too vibrant. Finally, I'm loving the gathered feature located at the stomach - the accumulation of material gives the illusion that you have a slimmer waist. Something I definitely want to achieve, haha!

My favourite part - the sunglasses. As you all will know by now, if you've been following my blog for some time, I am sunglasses-obsessed! Seriously, I have an evergrowing collection at the bottom of my wardrobe which is almost toppling out... Anyway, these sunglasses reflect gorgeous shades of pink, orange and yellow - colours that mind me of a sunset (another thing I love). Oversized glasses are my thaaang and to top it off, they match my oversized playsuit :)

Playsuit : Forever 21 (similar style) (similar pattern)

Sunglasses : Yes Style

Lipstick : MAC ~ Velvet Teddy

What do you like to wear in Summer? Are you going to a festival this year?

Come Sail With Me | Turkey Day 13

Come Sail With Me | Turkey Day 13

Nothing could beat a day sailing upon the crystal turkish sea, bathing on the boat's balcony, enjoying a bubblegum twister and jumping into the water bays for a good cooling down. I was in a very happy place this day - I loved jumping into the sea from the boat as I've always wanted to! The sea was so so salty so it tasted awful but it was all worth it to complete one of the many things on my wishlist.

Today's boat trip involved visiting 5 different coves, including Tarzan Bay, Samanlik Bay and Aquarium Bay, to stop off at and chill in the sea's waves for an hour or so. It was mesmerizing looking down into the water and being able to see so far beneath you. The turquoise blue of the water was so aesthetically pleasing to look at and to capture photos of.

Unfortunately, I woke up with an eye infection this day so was very cautious to jump in but I'm so glad I did it otherwise I would have totally regretted it. Also, I got the chance to snorkel because the boat offered the equipment to do so; I'd never snorkelled before so it took me a while to get the hang of it. The experience was fabulous - it was incredible being able to look so clearly under the sea (Little Mermaid reference - eek) and snoop at the little fishes lives. Here's to another wonderful turkish adventure today - cheers!

Sorry if you're fed up of my constant Turkey posts, I can assure you I will be back with some more beauty in a few days - BE PATIENT!

Until tomorrow...

Let's Go To The Beach | Turkey Day 5

Right, so today was beach day and I must say that I may have held my expectations too high after witnessing the beautiful photographs of the Oludeniz online. Despite the photos I took above being stunningly picturesque, it was a disappointment to me that the shore was made of thousands of tiny rocks/pebbles and not sand, as the online photos misled - but hey, that might just be a personal preference right?! 

Tonight's evening outfit was a simple monochrome look. A plain black skater skirt paired with a long sleeved, but light, striped top. Jess went completely opposite to my two-toned outfit by wearing a vibrant orange top and checkered skort. Mac's Lady Danger came in handy to give a pop of colour to my monochromal attire also. 

I'm loving every single day, I never want to return home :) There is also progression on the tanning front - woo!

Until tomorrow...
