The style Diaries

Hi little fashionistas, Ok so here's the continuing of my style diaries! I told you I would get cracking with them.... 


Diary Entry 3:

The first evening in Africa, I was absolutely shattered! A 5 hour drive down to London Gatwick, followed by a 10 hour flight and then a 2 hour transfer... well you can imagine how I felt. But did this stop me going out that night in my brand new holiday clothes? Hell NO! I had planned every outfit down to a T and there was no way that one of my dresses was gonna be left out because f a little bit of tiredness. So I drank a large coffee, had a shower, put my face on and I was ready to go...




My Outfit for the night


Dress: Forever 21, £12
Belt: River Island, £7
Necklace: Adorning Ava, £8


I bought this elephant jewelled belt in the River Island sale. I'd seen it months ago and thought how well it would work with my maxis to cinch my waist in, plus I loved the elephant buckle. But I never bought it, hoping it would go into sale. My waiting paid off and indeed it did go into the sale at a very nice price of £7. All things good for those who wait my friend!

Jambo Jambo



Well, I have just returned from spending two weeks in the beautiful continent of Africa! And honestly? I didn't want to come back to the UK. While I was there, I was partaking in a safari in the Massai Mara, dolphin watching, African dancing and going out in the evening.
 

This summer, luckily for me, safari and ethnic trends have been huge, overtaking the whole of the high street this season. So you can guess that everything from my shoes to my jewellery was bright, ethnic and an abundance of colour, patterns and prints.


Over the last fortnight, I put together a bit of a style diary, featuring my best outfit ideas, favourite garments, must have accessories and key pieces for the ultra holiday wardrobe. The next few posts will be my style diaries, so hopefully you guys can take a bit of inspiration and use my info to nail these summer trends before we lose the sun to Autumn, along with new AW13 collections. Make the most of August and the sunshine!
