Jump On a Plane and Fly Away!

As you may or may not know, in a couple of weeks I am leaving this city plagued with the insufferable cold most commonly referred to as Winter for sunny beautiful France and Greece! I am so excited, but like any fashionista, I can never limit myself with packing! I pack absolutely anything and everything, which doesn't work out well when the bags are weighed (let's just say unpacking before you leave is no fun).

So in the spirit of this occasion, I thought I would research some destination dressing ideas that will help me, other happy-go-lucky travellers, and anyone who is planning on flying any time in their lives!

Wedges: They're back in, as we all know. Love them, hate them, who cares, they're in. And nothing screams summer holiday like these beauties. Go for bold pastels and the classical blues and whites, as well as shimmering golds and silvers for those hot summer nights.

Stripes: These little treasures are dominant in any spring/summer season, and this year is no exception. The classical navy and white shirts paired with crisp shorts and a floppy hat make any day feel like a holiday! Shirts, skirts, shoes; you name it, they're amazing!

Wide leg pants: Don't ask me why, but this item goes a long way. Ever seen a summer shoot for a designer label set in a Mediterranean destination? Next time you're browsing through, keep an eye out for these creations. They may not look good on shorter girls, but if you can pull them off, go for it!

The Fedora: I have to say I am OBSESSED with this trend. Last summer I bought two in the space of a week. I'm not even kidding. These hats were everywhere in Paris, and I mean everywhere. And to feel like I was in the in-crowd, I ran to the closest store for a little gifty. Needless to say, I am never looking back. Opt for the classical white with a coloured/patterned ribbon, or be adventurous and go for an all over pattern!

Crochet: Perfect for a day at the beach, this gorgeous design ought to be in any girl's suitcase! From shop's ropes carefully knotted and tied by the hands of crafty sailors to the crocheted blankets your grandmother gifts you at Christmas, crochet will likely be familiar to you in some sense. Lucky for us they've made a strong comeback, in the shape of tops, dresses, skirts and even shorts! Try to stick with the classical whites, creams, blacks and beiges, but I'm not standing in your way! It's all about intricacy, quality and a luxury edge.

Well hope you all enjoyed this post, and can walk away with a small insight into the fabulous world of packing. Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh So Lively!

I know I promised an update on my party, but I have misplaced my camera cord, which is desperately missed at the moment. So, until my friend remembers to fetch hers (heh, as if), I will continue posts as per normal. And as soon as she remembers, get ready to say hello to unflattering amazing and ugly gorgeous photos of mio!

Anyway, enough insane ranting for today, I know you all hate my little ramblings. I would like to bring your attention to (if it's not already there) the beautiful, prestigious and now-famous star that's been popping up all around fashion town. From Gossip Girl to Chanel accessories and fashion shows, this little lady has unsurprisingly been a huge hit with designers, providing endless opportunities and the life we all dream of. That's right, I'm talking about the one and only Blake Lively!

With her bronzed skin and golden brown hair, this girl is the epitome of beauty. And good news ladies, she's not just a pretty face. She's been bragged to be a down-to-earth, educated and, as her name suggests, very lively indeed. From teen sensation to the real fashion elite, Blake Lively seems to have risen to fame at an alarming rate, with deals from Mr Karl Lagerfeld himself being thrown on the table.

But enough of the words, which I know half of you don't listen to, which is always evident through comments. Let's see her story through pictures, and comment below on what your thoughts are of this fabulous starlet!

Remember to enter my giveaway here, which will be ending in 8 days, follow me on bloglovin' here, where you can keep up to date on all the latest from mio, check out my tumblr here, comment in that little box below that you all love so much, and see you on Wednesday!
