 Hello lovelies,

Today's post comes after a very lazy, luxurious holiday on the beautiful Spanish island of Majorca. I spent 7 days holidaying with my sister and parents and decided to document the outfits I wore and a few of the things I did on my travels.

This little number was worn on the Tuesday I went to Alcudia old town to meander around the markets, and since it was a bloomin’ scorching day so I decided a crop top and some loose fitting trousers needed to be on the menu.

This absolutely gorgeous little black lace trimmed bralet was purchased from Urban Bird Clothing via my new fave app, Depop, and it has become one of my most prized summer possessions.  Several of my friends have been asking where I got this gorge little top and I’ve been raving about it to anyone who will listen! The seller, Molly Kempster, is so talented and lovely and her creations are amazing quality and value for money. I paid just £15 for this bralet and was so pleased when it arrived in the post. Molly makes an array of gorgeous crops, kimonos and bralets so if you’re looking for some bits and bobs for any upcoming holidays definitely check her out!

The rest of the day was spent enjoying some beautiful authentic Spanish tapas and Sangria in a shaded little café to celebrate my sister’s 22nd birthday before we boarded a bus to the other side of the Island to meet my uni friends for a crazy night out in Magaluf. Ahh to be young and free.

Hope your summer’s been fun and I’ll see you soon with more holiday postcards!

PLAYING CATCH UP: BIG WEEKEND

Megan: Sunglasses – Primark | Headdress – Miss Selfridge | Lipstick – MAC flat out fabulous

Me: Lipstick – MAC cyber (what else?) | Denim Jacket – Vintage | Frizzy hair – au natural

I really am playing catch up with this post, which documents my fabulous day at Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2014 at Glasgow Green. I’ve fallen out of the habit of keeping you updated on the interesting bits of my daily life so I thought I’d chuck the rulebook and provide you with a few pics from way way back in yonder years (aka May.)

My best friend/photographer Megan rang me up one cold and rainy day at the beginning of May to surprise me with the news that she’d managed to get her hands on a pair of tickets for the Sunday event, to see the likes of Sam Smith, London Grammar, Gorgon City and my all-time fave band The 1975. I may or may not have squealed.

On Sunday 25^th of May I trotted up to Glasgow to meet Meg and her uni mates, well prepared with a Greggs sausage roll and pac-a-mac in tow. The day kicked off with an insane set from Kings of Leon, which I enjoyed thoroughly despite the heavens opening before I had a chance to whip my trusty pac a mac out from my ruckie.(All in the name of music)

London Grammar were by far the stars of the Sunday show, with Hannah Reid’s voice literally sending shivers down my spine. The girl can truly sing. Sadly I could only stay to hear a few songs from these beauties because their set clashed with The 1975.

After a tense few minutes of speed-walking my way from the indoor tent to the middle of the outdoor crowd I arrived just in time to see Greg James introduce The 1975 who were amazing as always. The crowd was absolutely electric when they played a few of their biggest hits, and chants of “Here we, here we, here we f*cking go” were reverberating all through the venue. I’ve got to hand it to the Scottish, they certainly know how to party.

Hope you enjoyed these few candids,
