WHAT I WORE IN GREECE

I normally do a packing post or two or ten before going on holiday, but this year I thought it would bore the socks off any regular readers because it was essentially the same as last year and the year before that! 
I thought instead I might change things up a bit and do a few outfit posts from the week I just spent in Greece. I spent 7 lovely days lounging in the mid 30s warmth, so some of the outfits below were worn more than once - hence there not being 7 different outfits! These were all ensembles I wore down to the Taverna before feasting on taramasalata, kleftiko, fried courgettes and baklava to name but a few. 

All of the pictures had to be self portraits I'm afraid - apologies for the quality and the mess in the background!

 American Apparel grey t-shirt and Topshop peplum skirt
French Connection navy midi dress (eBayed)

Topshop one piece swimsuit and a stupid face, which I pulled on account of the fact that I felt like a noodle photographing myself in my swimming costume, but it's new and I love it!

Zara denim shorts (eBayed) and See by Chloe blouse

Topshop yellow midi dress (eBayed) and Reiss necklace

I wore this little fellow when I boarded a speedboat from Kaminaki to Agni to explore another taverna. I allowed myself to feel frightfully glamorous, even if my windswept hair had to be wrestled back into position post-speed boat journey. 

Holiday beauty essentials included Essie's Clam Bake (in all of the above photos), Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom and Honey Cologne which I acquired at the airport and is the most lovely holiday summery fragrance and, of course, La Roche Posay factor 50 sunscreen.

    1. Yes I bought it just before going away about a week ago! It's still online: http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=6215538&langId=-1&categoryId=&searchTerm=peplum&pageSize=20 It's great because it's not overly mini - a lovely length. Would throughly recommend! X

  3. You look so stylish and chic - it would appear that you have got your holiday packing sorted! I found when I was away for a month I felt a little dowdy at times as I was constantly in shorts, and in Greece in particular when all I could manage to wear was a linen tee with shorts or a skirt!

  5. In what size did you get the swimsuit? It's still online but in size 8 only... and I've never bought swimwear from topshop before.

  6. I get topshop swimwear in a size 10. I'm a size 8 but their cup size in swimwear is tiny! I'm a 32c. Hope that helps! X
