Floral Green Trousers (&Passion4Fashion Linkup)

 Sometimes my crazy clothes-loving heart just falls head over heels for a pair of loud floral trousers. And so then you Instgram a picture of them to which the lovely people reply "GET THEM!" so I did. And then i could not stop wearing them . They're just so damn comfy and lovely. By just adding in a pair of heels it takes me from 'slummy' to 'effort-was-made-here' and yet all still very comfy. Did i mention they are comfy? hahaha
From not being sure about this relaxed trousers thing (or fancy joggers if you will) i now own 3 pairs.. Embracing change over here people and it feels gooood (and comfy hahaha)
I've just been keeping it super simple with black or white tshirts when wearing them, and a blazer.
Today i added in a fun pop of orange because i do love green and orange as a colour combo, they just feel so good together. I do fancy trying some stripes on top and doing a little pattern mixing with these trousers, but for now it's simple on top funky on the bottom ;)

1 Fever Dress, 3 ways

Recently  Fever London set the excellent challenge of 1 dress styled 3 ways to correspond with fever's 3 main styles:

Occasion 

City (work wear)

Heritage (casual )

So with my beautiful red Chelsea Pencil Dress i set out to try and create 3 looks with 1 dress... 

Occasion

I wanted a smart look that could work for a wedding or evening doo, or a party. 

The rich red dress is perfect for a special event, with its curve clinging material and flattering cut its really a perfect party dress. I chose to go with a little black and white theme with the red striking out form beneath.

City

 I wanted to pull together a smart work outfit for the City Look, to do this i layered a light cream blouse under the red dress to give a more covered look. Plus air con in offices can be chilly. I finished off with a trench, a smart shoulder bag and blue heels for a pop of colour fun.

And finally

Heritage (Casual)

 This was the one style i thought i may struggle with.  Heritage it may not be but casual weekender it is. I actually ended up loving this outfit and will definitely sport this come the weekend. With the scarf and denim jacket being perfect for this in-betweeny weather, and flat practical shoes for comfort and ease, I was sold on this weekend easy outfit.

So there we have it ladies, 1 dress 3 ways.

Pretty Warehouse Summer Dress (And Passion4Fashion Link Up!)

 Warehouse is a brand i have been buying since i started earning a wage. It is a brand i love year after year and love to buy special pieces from each seasons release. I have collected a lot of Warehouse Dresses over the years as this store is by go-to for pretty frocks. 

The dress I was wearing when i my now-husband and I first kissed was a beautiful Warehouse dress that i still own ( I always remember these things, special outfits; what i was wearing for those occasions, and that was before the immortalising wonder that is Instagram!)

I remember a few years back I was attending a big Italian wedding shindig, and well i wanted to look amazing. After a day out shopping in Bath and going to every store you could think of i found my beautiful dress in Warehouse of course, and i still have it and still love it as much(even though its about 2 sizes to big haha!) 

So when a brand like this asked if I would like to pick a dress, well i sure as heck jumped at the chance. 

I have to be honest, it took me forever to choose as there are just so many beautiful dresses!!!!

Tropical, tribal, neon and florals. 

Maxi's, mini's and everything in between.

In the end, after much deliberation, i chose Midi Summer Dress due to the fact i thought i could get a lot of wear out if it this summer(hopefully).

Thankfully the weather has heard my plea's and little old Wales has been basking in the beautiful warm sunshine the past couple of days.

And so, enter the perfect dress....

 The dress is SO dreamy (could i gush any more about it? Probably not haha!)
It's floaty, twirly and IT HAS POCKETS!
Ladies, it sure is a beauty!
Keeping it simple i added my staple summer denim jacket and a pop of red and i could not be happier, flicking my curls and my dress in the warm summery breeze.

Travel: Rome

I've mentioned this before (i think) that pre- children i loved to travel. My first proper job was a travel agent, then i had 10 years out and now I'm a travel agent again. One of the things about my job i love is looking through all the brochures and planning holidays for people. Whenever we're a bit quiet i always start planning my own holiday.
This year i turn the big 3-0 and to mark the occasion i want to go on a short break with the hubby.
A short European break is what i'm aiming for, but there are just so many amazing places to try.
For my 21st i went to New York, it's only right that for my 30th i mark the occasion with a fabulous city break.
Having been to Paris multiple times and travelled all over Spain i am thinking somewhere new for me, somewhere i have wanted to go for many many years, i am thinking of visiting Rome.

I mean just look at it, Its spectacular.

After a little reading and research here are the top 5 things i want to do whilst in Rome.

Trevi Fountain

The largest Baroque style fountain in the City, one of the worlds most famous fountains in the world. For luck throw in a coin with your right hand over your left shoulder. (apparently 3000 euros a day are collected and the city gives it back to those in need in the city)

The Colossuem

Right in the City centre is this magnificent piece of architecture. The largest amphitheatre of the Roman Empire and in fact the world, this amazing building is considered one of the greatest works of Roman Architecture. To walk the around this building and imagine the gladiatorial shows that it was used for would be spectacular.

The Vatican

The Vatican City, a state all unto its own. Having been brought up in Catholic schooling, reading many religious books and references over my years the Vatican is a stop i would have to make. The history, the architecture..need i say more?

The Spanish Steps

Some of the most famous steps in the world and the widest staircase in Europe. A great place to sit and people watch and enjoy the Bernini Fountain.

The Pantheon

all images via
The Pantheon is one of the best preserved Roman buildings, still in use as a church the rich historical ambiance fills of the whole area, Piazza della Rotunda.


Of course there are so many more things to see and do such as St. Peters Basilica, the Pyramid of Cestius the monument of Victor Emmanuell II and SO MUCH MORE.
Not to mention the gelato and the pasta. Having been to Italy once before (lake Garda) i can safely say there is now ice cream anywhere that is as good as Italian gelato.
The cuisine of Italy is my absolute favourite. To me the richness of their food reflects their culture with their flare and passion for life. Its second to none.
Have you ever been to Rome? Is there anything you would recommend that i must not miss?
If you haven't ever been, have i tempted you? Lets go celebrate my 30th all together ...

Meet you in Rome, yes?
