What kind of girl are you? Holiday evening looks

So I have already posted about how to look fabulous during the day whilst on holiday. Now it is time to address how to look in the evening and there are so many different features to take into consideration what country are you going to? What will you be doing? What is appropriate? The great thing about evening looks is that it is your time to experiment especially when you are abroad. Have a neon pink dress? you wear that dress (by the way neon is in this season so take note)! It is time to get out of your comfort zone, you maybe in a strange place but you will never see these people again so say hello to experimentation and confidence. Your outfits should coincide with your activity are you having a romantic candlelit dinner? or going to a show? or clubbing? maybe you are just relaxing with a few drinks? There is an outfit for every occasion and you will be sure to impress. Here is a mixture of designer and high street pieces, remember you can mix and match and also substitute.
I personally would say I am more of a Venice girl outfit but I love the Santorini and Monte Carlo!

Summer weddings, what to wear?

If you are like me you will love summer weddings so the perfect outfit is an absolute necessity. Summer is such a fabulous season where you can play around with colours, florals and pastels and accessorise with the perfect shoes and hats. It can sometimes be a struggle to find that one perfect outfit querying is it too bright? is it appropriate? I have put together some looks that I think are perfect for this seasons weddings, simply with a hint of glamour. These are a mixture of designer and high street pieces but remember it is better to invest in something thats worth it (and rewearable) than something that looks hideous on and is thrown out or tucked up in the closet for months after! Many high street stores do similar designs to designers so do not disregard if you cannot afford, you'll find a substitute by all means!

Wedding guest looks
Understated sparkle- basic colours with a hint of embellishment and shine.
