A Piece of Me In... Amsterdam, Netherlands #2

Hey guys,

So this post will be showing our second and last full day in Amsterdam. On this day we visited the iconic 'I Amsterdam' sign which was so close to our hotel as it is situated in Museumplein. It's almost impossible to take an entire picture with the sign as there were so many people, but this was the best I could do. We also visited the Flower Marker (Bloemenmarkt) which is a hotspot for tourists as it is the only floating flower market in the world. We then found ourselves in the heart of Amsterdam Central and visited Rembrandt Square (a major square in Amsterdam named after a famous painter), the Sex Museum and took pictures of the royal palace. The Sex Museum was definitely something, my friends and I shared a lot of laughs as we went around; it's just one of those places you have to go to when you visit Amsterdam! Later that night we ventured into the Red Light District... it was definitely an experience!

Probably the only decent images I can share from the pictures that I took in the sex museum lol

Not the real RLD... pictures are not allowed there

All in all, it was an amazing experience. I loved taking pictures of the buildings and the canals, as I said, Amsterdam is a beautiful city. I still find myself daydreaming about my time there, and I cannot wait to go back xo

A Piece of Me In... Amsterdam, Netherlands #1

Hey guys!

Amsterdam is somewhere that I have always wanted to go so in January I decided that I would go for my 21st birthday (which was about 5 weeks ago... better late than never ay?) I went with a couple of friends and we stayed for 3 nights over a long weekend (Thursday evening to Sunday morning). It was very cold and rained the majority of the time but it was a great experience. Amsterdam is a beautiful city, one that reminds me a lot of London but also has it's own special something that sets the two cities apart. I did most things that you do when you go out there except biking and riding along the canal in a boat; hopefully I'll get to do those things when I go back one day! This post will be showing our first full day in Amsterdam. Our hotel was situated in the museumplein so we visited Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh museum, the Anne Frank museum and generally just enjoyed what the city had to offer such as authentic pancakes at the popular Pancake Bakery and the infamous sex shops!

Rijksmuseum

I can't even share the pictures of the things I saw in this shop lol

The only picture I have from the Anne Frank House as pictures aren't allowed around the museum

I hope you've all been well xo

The Mom Jeans

Coat - ASOS // Cropped jumper & Mom jeans - Topshop // Bag - Forever 21 // Converses

Just a quick outfit post for you guys. Practically everything I'm wearing is a recent buy apart from the jumper which I purchased a couple of months ago. I've been on the hunt for the perfect mom jeans for a while now and I'm so happy I found them. I originally bought a pair from Topshop when they first came out but I returned them because I felt the fit was a bit off, but these are great! You'll most probably be seeing a lot more of them too! I saw this lightweight coat on sale on ASOS and instantly fell in love. I adore the colour and the fact that it has an oversized fit, it's definitely not a winter coat but will be perfect for Spring. These are a new pair of Converses which I bought from Oxfam for £7! As I'm sure you know by now I absolutely love Converses! They'd never been worn, so still look great. Also, the bag is a recent buy from Forever 21; my sister bought it first and I liked it so much I bought it myself haha. I love that it is bigger than my usual side bag but smaller than my great big shopper, and can still fit all my things in it xo

HI GUUUUYS!!! *waves frantically* :D

I know, it's been a hot minute since I blogged. As you (should) know I'm in my last year of uni and let me tell you it is definitely challenging! I'm doing all I can to get the best I can which means prioritising my time and unfortunately my uni work beats blogging (and just about everything else in my life), which explains my hiatus. I have a few new things that I've bought and outfits that I really want to share with you guys, so I'm going to try my best to do so :)

Today though I'm just going to show you a nail colour I've been loving a lot at the moment. Red Black by Barry M has been my go-to colour these winter months.There's something about the colour that I think is just perfect for the time of year, and not to mention I love how it looks on my nails.

I hope you've all been well! Oh and Happy New Year lol xo

IVORY

Blazer - Topshop // Top - Primark // Leather trousers - H&M // Shoes - Dorothy Perkins // Clutch - ASOS

When I ordered this blazer online I actually thought it was white (even though the description clearly said ivory...) so was a little disappointed when it arrived. However, when I put this outfit together I was no longer disappointed and became excited at the endless possible outfits this blazer can achieve. In this look I decided to pair it with a simple grey top, my leather trousers and a pair of court heels. I chose to go with gold accessories in the form of my Casio watch and clutch bag with gold studs on (a Christmas pressie from my sister). I'm also wearing my new favourite eyelashes, they're the Cheryl Cole style from the Girls Aloud designs by Eylure. I love how natural they look, and the fact that they are subtle enough for the day with the right amount of volume for the night xo
