YELLOW
Dress: Zara | Bag: Pimkie | Necklace: Links of London | Shoes: Independent shop in Spain
-----------------------------------------
I barely ever wear yellow, although it's fast becoming one of my favourite colours! I got this amazing canary yellow lace dress in the Zara sale, for such a bargain! I've said it a hundred times on here, but as far as sales go, Zara never fails to deliver the goods! I'm so happy I bought it, because not only is it super Summery, but it's also so easy to dress up or down! One of my favourite colour combos is yellow and silver, so I teamed the dress up with my metallic trainers, for a more casual look.

TRIP TO IBIZA // MARBLE ARC (PART 3)
Dress: Glamorous via Marble Arc | Sliders: Schuh | Sunnies: Ray-Ban
----------------------------------------------
Denim dresses made a bit of a comeback last year, and they're definitely sticking around this summer too! This Glamorous one, from Marble Arc, despite having that typical denim colour and general aesthetic, is actually a much softer material, which makes it so comfortable to wear, anywhere from the beach, or a casual Summer's day, to a nice dinner, paired with wedges. That's the best thing about denim dresses in my opinion; they're so versatile and easy to style, but they can also be dressed up or down! I also really love the criss cross lace-up detailing - it just makes the look that little bit more feminine!

TRIP TO IBIZA // MARBLE ARC (PART 2)
Both bikinis - Rip Curl from Marble Arc
----------------------------------------------
Considering that I come from a warm place, with several beaches right on my doorstep, I never really put much thought into my swimwear, and pretty much always end up buying last-minute cheap pieces from various different shops on the high-street. Most of those have ended up being uncomfortable, or unflattering, or too sheer, or not long-lasting. This year I decided I wanted to invest in some quality bikinis that I know will last me a lot longer than the standard 3 month lifespan of the others in my collection.
Marble Arc's swimwear section is really a feast for the eyes; racks upon racks of bikinis and one-pieces, in a huge range of colours, styles, and brands. These two bikinis, both of which I wore throughout my stay in Ibiza, and both of which are by Rip Curl; one of my favourite swimwear brands, were the first ones to catch my attention! I usually struggle with bikinis a little, but both of these fit really well, and feel secure on my body (you ladies know what I'm talking about). The fact that they're so damn comfortable is really a testament to their quality, and soo worth the price!

TRIP TO IBIZA // MARBLE ARC (PART 1)
Dress: Glamorous via Marble Arc | Espadrilles: Indie shop in Shere | Belt: H&M | Sunnies: Ray-Ban
-------------------------------------------
Marble Arc, located right in the heart of Gibraltar's town centre, isn't just Gib's leading high-street store, but is really a one stop shop; a sure favourite amongst locals and also tourists. Not only do they sell clothing, shoes and accessories for men, women and kids, but they really cater to all styles, budgets and occasions. With a girly trip to Ibiza right around the corner, I decided to pop in and scour through all the new-in pieces they had brought in for Summer, from some of my favourite brands!
Off-the-shoulder tops and dresses have been all over the place this season, but I had refrained from purchasing any until recently because they had never really been my thing in the past. When I spotted this playsuit, by the brand Glamorous, I was drawn in by the print, first and foremost, as well as the gorgeous mauve and taupe tones, which I really don't have anything like in my wardrobe. I decided to try it on and actually really fell in love with the straps and off-the-shoulder sleeves combo; so feminine and on trend, but also incredibly comfortable! Also, if you happen to be averse to tops/dresses/playsuits that bare your shoulders like I was, you can literally just slide the sleeves right up, and voilà : you just have yourself a normal playsuit! I wore this all day for a relaxing boat trip to Formentera, and it has now literally become one of my most worn pieces in my wardrobe!
Watch this space for Part 2 and 3 of my Ibiza series, with more awesome pieces from Marble Arc!

TREND: RIBBED DRESS
Dress: River Island | Choker: Topshop | Shoes: Converse
----------------------------------------
I picked up this dress in the River Island sale a couple of weeks ago - such a great bargain at just £12. I had never quite gotten around to jumping on the ribbed dress bandwagon as I wasn't sure if it would flatter my shape or not. To be honest, I'm still not quite sure it does, as I'm quite pear-shaped, but anyway, I just decided to roll with it. I think this dress would look so cute paired up with a chunky knit cardigan and some lace-up sandals, but I decided to toughen it up a little with my Pink Floyd converse and tattoo choker. I love dresses like this because they make for fantastic transitional pieces that can be worn from day to night (especially somewhere more grungy like Shoreditch), and are also perfect for the warmer-but-not-warm-enough Spring weather we keep dipping in and out of at the moment.

THAILAND
Dress: Zara | Sandals: ASOS | Sunglasses: Ray-Ban | Hair band: Forever 21
-----------------------------------
So I just got back from Thailand a week ago, and I'm only just getting over my post-holiday blues. I had never been to that part of the world before, and I can see why it's such a popular holiday and travel destination! I can't wait to go back as soon as I can, and explore more of what it has to offer! I packed so many clothes, and was so certain that I would return with at least five new and inspired outfits posts, but boy was I wrong. This is actually the only one - major fail - but we were constantly on the go, trying to make the most of every minute, and so I didn't actually have all that much time to stop and really think about my outfits, let alone take blog-worthy photos of them. It's okay though, because this dress is one of my newest purchases, and the item that I most wanted to feature anyway. I picked this up in the Zara sale for just £19.99, and was initially drawn in by the print. When I went to try it on though, I fell in love instantly. Not only is the quality amazing, but it fits me perfectly, and the fact that it hugs the waist and skims over the hips with a slight A-line shape, means that it's SO flattering, and would look good on practically every body shape. I teamed it up with last year's ASOS chain sandals; they're simple enough that I can style them with most looks, but the chain detail also adds that little something extra. On my hair, I'm wearing an adorable Grecian-style gold headband that I bought from Forever 21, which I think ties the entire look together perfectly. I just love being able to add little touches here and there that really make all the difference.
