BLACK & WHITE



 

I thought I'd do a little outfit post featuring a few new purchases. I wore this outfit on Saturday night for my brother-in-law's birthday celebration meal at a lovely pub in Wiltshire. I'll be honest - I was PETRIFIED that my top was quite so white. I kept thinking of Carrie in SATC saying she would never be the type of girl who could wear white and not spill on it. Thankfully, I was lucky that evening and the top remains pristine (for now)!

Anywho, the blouse is from Whistles (it featured in my shopping wish list below - I act fast). I love the structured simplicity of it - I'm always happy to welcome white blouses into my wardrobe. My jeans are coated which I'm very much enjoying at the moment - gives a bit of edge to any outfit. My patent ballet flats are from Russell & Bromley and were a bit of a coup. They were only £44! Why? I headed down to the Children's section, that's why. They have some of the exact same styles as upstairs for a fraction of the price. Most of R&B's ballet flats go for £95, so you can understand my smugness.

My new favourite initial necklace features too - this has hardly left my neck since it arrived in the post not long ago.

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.
