Style Diary | Valentine’s in Paris

Hi Everyone,

Craig and I have just got back from a weekend away in Paris, for Valentine’s Day. Not only was this trip to have some time off for Valentines but it was to treat ourselves and celebrate buying our first house together. This was a well needed break to have some quality time together after the stress of moving in, which happened over Christmas. We had four days seeing the sights of Paris and I made sure to take pictures of my outfits throughout our trip, so if you would like to see what I wore in the fashion capital that is Paris, keep on reading.


Day 1- We travelled for the majority of our first day and arrived in Paris just after lunch. We walked a fair way from the train station to our hotel but it was fantastic to get a real taste of the city on our walk. Once we arrived at our hotel, Hotel Eiffle Turenne, we dropped off our bags and went off to explore. A few hours later we came back to get changed and decided to view the Eiffle Tower on the hour as it sparkled. Luckily our hotel was only a ten minute walk to the eiffle tower so we were able to see it light up most nights. Then, after some food we went back to the hotel to rest ready for a busy day tomorrow.

Day 2- The next day we went to Disneyland! We were up bright and early, had a quick breakfast at the hotel and caught the Disney shuttle bus to the park. We had tickets to both parks and spent the entire day exploring all that there is to offer. We went to the studios first, stopped for lunch and then went over to the main park. We luckily didn’t have to queue for too long on the rides and managed to go on all of the ones we were interested in. We saw the parade at lunch time which was so magical and loved the illuminations show in the evening, singing along to all the Disney classics. We arrived back at the hotel just after 9pm and chilled for the rest of the evening.

Day 3- Our third day was Valentines Day in which we spent it exploring the city. In the morning we had breakfast at Angelina’s which is famous for their delicious Hot Chocolates. Once we were full on eggs, fruit and pastries we did a spot of shopping, stopped for some pizza and then headed to the Eiffle Tower. It was very busy queuing for the Eiffle Tower however eventually we managed to reach the top and the views were breathtaking! We then walked behind the Eiffle Tower and got onto our Seine river cruise to finish off the evening. 

Coat- ASOS
Jeans and Jumper- TopShop
Boots- Newlook

Day 4- On our final day we had a well deserved lie in after walking an average of 25,000 steps a day. We steadily packed up our bags and had breakfast down in the hotel. Before check out we went for one final walk and got a few supplies from the supermarket for our travels home. We then walked across Paris with our suitcases to the train station, soaking up the views one final time. We made sure to make one final pit stop at Laduree to get some macaroons for pudding!

We had the best weekend in Paris and would happily visit again! The whole atmosphere in the city is indescribable and it’s a trip we will never forget. I do wish that we had more time as there is so much to see in such a short space of time. If you are yet to visit Paris I would certainly recommend it and we would love to visit again one year during the summer. 

I hope you enjoyed this lookbook/ insight into our holiday to Paris. Do you have any trips planned this year? Let me know in the comments below.

My 20th Birthday

Since my last blog post I have turned a whole year older! I have said goodbye to my teenage years which is a very strange feeling. It seems like I should now be better at adulting without ‘teen’ at the end of my age but I’m hoping I will magically wake on an up-and-coming date feeling like a whole new woman that’s ready to take on the world! 

Today I’m going to be sharing with you what I did to celebrate my 20th birthday! I had a really lovely day and I thought I would write a blog post about it. I’ll be honest in saying that I was unprepared for my birthday this year as it came around so quickly and knowing that I didn’t have a huge party planned and that I hadn't asked for any gifts I wasn't counting down the days to August 8th. As my boyfriend and I are saving for a house we decided not to do gifts this year so instead we had a low budget birthday celebration. With that being said, it was a wonderful day with beautiful weather and great company. 

In the morning we woke up and opened up all my cards in bed. After chilling for a bit we got up, showered and I did my hair and makeup. We then started the day the right way by having a delicious cooked breakfast. 

After breakfast we headed to the lakes on our bikes. We cycled for over an hour exploring the lakes and beautiful surroundings. We came across ducks, geese and swans and decided to feed them some of our picnic which was very entertaining. We sat down for a picnic and I had my little birthday cupcake. The weather was luckily stunning as the rest of the weeks forecast was rain! 

After a wonderful bike ride around the lakes we took our bikes home and headed into town for a walk to grab an ice cream. We walked up the hill to a gelato shop and I treated myself to a tub of mint choc chip. 

Top & Shorts: Topshop

Sandals: Newlook 

We were very grateful to receive a voucher for Zizzis which is where we had our evening meal. We ordered a Garlic bread, Spaghetti Bolognese and Rustica Pizza. After a lovely meal we headed home and watched movies and ate plenty of birthday chocolate. Overall, it was a relaxing and chilled birthday! 

Jumpsuit: Phase Eight 

Shoes: Newlook

I hope you enjoyed this short and sweet post about my 20th birthday.

Style Diary | Holiday in Kos, Greece

After a week full of joy at the Oceanis Resort in Kos we are back to the UK, feeling relaxed and truthfully looking forward to the next trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday on the tiny island with so much character, that is Kos. Our hotel resort was breathtaking with huge grounds and a private beach area. Everything was perfection including the food, rooms, views and entertainment. For me the excitement of preparing to go on holiday starts with the outfit planning and I always look forward to taking photos of everything we get up to whilst away. So, of course I had to do another look book this year. If you would like to see what I wore whilst in Kos, Greece then please carry on reading...

DAY 1 

During our first day in Kos we took a walk around the hotel grounds, which is a mighty plot of land might I add. Our hotel had 2 pools, four restaurants, a private beach area, mini golf course, tennis courts, 3 bars and huge areas of greenery which made for quite the walk. After finding our bearings we got into our swimwear and headed for the main pool. As we arrived there was water aerobics in the pool which really made for a great start to the holiday. It was such a laugh and so much fun! After lunch and a chill out session by the pool we went back up to the room to get ready for the evening. On our first evening we went to explore the best spots to take pictures, had dinner, drinks and enjoyed the night time entertainment. And this marked the first night of a fantastic holiday....

 Dress: Topshop

Bag: Primark

 Top: Miss Selfridge 

Trousers: ASOS 

Bag: Dorothy Perkins 

Shoes: Debenhams 

DAY 2

On day two we took a trip into Kos Town Centre. Our hotel was approximately a 10 minute drive away from the town square. The town square was a busy place with quaint streets, quirky buildings and plenty of restaurants. We soon realised that this area of the world has crazy moped drivers that come out of nowhere and certainly won’t stop for anyone...

We hoped back on the bus and to the hotel for a spot of lunch and ended the afternoon with a swim,
water polo and sun tanning. Tonight was the Gala Dinner at our hotel with the dress code of black and
white. All of the guests and staff were dressed to impress and it was an elegant evening with good
food and music.

Dress: ASOS

Dress: Boohoo

 DAY 3

On our third day we got a boat over to Bodrum, Turkey. Kos is next door to Bodrum and only takes 40 minute to drive over. We spent the full day in Turkey exploring the town and it’s narrow streets, traditional houses and markets with salesmen wanting to bargain with you. The day was a great chance to enter the east with it's distinct smell of spices and to experience it’s culture first hand. In the evening we had a glorious meal and chilled by the bar until it was time for bed.

Dress: Zara 

Dress: Boohoo

Shoes: Newlook 

DAY 4

After a busy few days exploring Kos and Turkey we decided to have a completely chilled day on Saturday by the pool and the beach. We woke up and had a beautiful breakfast in the sunshine, relaxed on the beds by the pool, joined water aerobics, had a swim and did all that you’re supposed to do on a summer holiday. During the evening we had our meal and chatted by the bar until it was dark. 

Playsuit: ASOS
Bikini: Floozie

Jumpsuit: Missguided

Shoes: Newlook

DAY FIVE
On Sunday (our final full day) we spent the morning sunbathing by the pool and making the most out of the beautiful weather. During the afternoon there were free hand and arm massages which as a Beauty Therapist I can really appreciate. After lunch we visited the hotel Spa and spent an hour in the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and laying on the loungers. On our final evening we took a walk around the hotel grounds, played a few games of pool and watched the evening entertainment.
The following day we got up, packed up our belongings and left for the airport in the evening after dinner. We spent the majority of this day soaking up the sun and reminiscing on what had been a fabulous holiday and one we will never forget. 

Bikini: Pour Moi

Sunglasses: Newlook

Dress: H&M
Shoes: Newlook

Thank you for reading my Kos Style Diary and I hope this post gave you some holiday outfit inspiration. If you're thinking about visiting Kos for your next holiday I would 100% recommend it. Our hotel the 'Oceanis Beach and Spa Resort' is also a gem of a hotel and one of the best in Kos, in my opinion.
Also, be sure to follow  my Instagram as that is where I posted other pictures from the holiday on my story: @Jodielbeauty
