I'm guessing by now that you've worked out the absence of posts (unlike me) is pretty unusual. Well, I was actually away over the Christmas period, sunning myself in Fuerteventura (lucky me!) Me and the fam always have a holiday abroad in December instead of doing the traditional British summer hol thing. My dad HATES cold weather, so I'm always the one rocking a tan at the wrong time of year!
Ours was a typical beachy holiday and this meant evenings out were tres casual, so I stuck to jeans and invested in this gorgeous blouse from Mango. Top itself is a gorgeous muted grey/blue colour and is lined with a similar colour chiffon so that you don't get the awkward underarm bra strap which always seems to show on low cut tops. It always really annoys me and, if I'm not feeling brave, I always pop a bandeau on underneath. This Mango lovely solves that problem and I've been wearing it way too much!
I teamed the look with the fab collar necklace which I picked up at a local market, I love finding bargains abroad and think it's so important to buy local, helping you find unique pieces for affordable prices. Some of my best jewellery finds are from abroad and I always make sure to check out local flea markets at least once on my hols - this time I bought two necklaces, seven rings and two bracelets, all for under 20 euros! I know that at times I struggle in the U.K to find accessories for under 20 quid, never mind eleven items.
What did you do over Christmas? Do you buy local when abroad?
