Corfu Style Diaries - #4

After a long delay here's my final outfit in the Corfu Style Diaries which I wore on our last night on holiday. It features this gorge bargain jumpsuit from H&M which I managed to pick up in the sale for £7. It's super comfy, flattering and effortless - the perfect holiday piece. Unfortunately, when we were walking back to the apartment I managed to deck it and rip a small hole in it :-( (a few too many cocktails I think haha). To style it I added silver jewellery and a chunky belt to synch it in and add definition to my waist.

Corfu Style Diaries - #3

This is definitely one of my favourite outfits I wore because it's a DIY I did before I went on holiday. I made the skirt last year from a tutorial and wanted a matching top to make a co-ord from the material I had leftover. After searching to try and find a tutorial for a boxy crop top I couldn't find one with the kind of shape I wanted, so I adapted a top pattern from a New Look pattern I already had, by cropping it to the waist, adjusting the darts and enlarging the sleeves so they were looser fitting. I'm really happy with how it came out and how it looks with the skirt - I'm definitely going to makes lots more of this style of top in different prints and decorative touches, it feels so satisfying wearing something that you've made yourself!

Corfu Style Diaries - #2

So here's the second instalment in my style diaries, which is almost head to toe Primark. I absolutely love this monochrome printed top, and I'm so glad I managed to find it, I definitely think it's either hit or miss in Primark, or my local one anyway. The maxi skirt is an old purchase from a few years ago, I found it in the back of my wardrobe and had only worn it a couple of times, but I thought I'd go really well with the top so I decided to take it - not going to lie it made me feel a bit sassy swishing around in it haha. The skirt has some shorts attached (just to let you know I'm not actually showing off my underwear ;-)).
To tie the look together I added turquoise accents in my jewellery and wore a pop of pink lipstick to add a bit of colour.

Corfu Style Diaries - #1


Here's the first outfit in my Corfu style diaries, and it's quite a simple, laidback look. I'm currently obsessed with this necklace combo from H&M, my Topshop cat eye sunnies and these gorge truffle collection sandals - these were my go to accessories and shoes of choice throughout my holiday. Cat eye sunnies are super flattering on a range of face shapes and luckily these suited mine (I always struggle to find ones that do), they also make any outfit look chic. I also mostly chose these sandals to wear in the evening because they're really comfy, add a bit of height and go with a multitude of summer outfits.
This outfit also features my patchy burnt legs, which I stupidly burnt on the first day.. and the apartment owner's cat who we called Lola, she was so cute.
