Those Floral Pants

On my last day in Cardiff, me and Molly headed down to Cardiff Bay (one of my favourite places in Cardiff) for a nice lunch in the sun. Finally the sun was out and the weather had picked up, so it was warm enough for me to leave the house without a jacket! Actually a rare happening in the UK.

I bought these amazing floral print trousers from Zara a month ago, but never actually got round to wearing them because of the weather here in the UK. I really love floral prints, so when I saw them I knew straight away that I was going to buy them and Zara never dissapoints in terms of fashion. I paired them with some orange heels (since orange is THE colour of the season) and a simple chiffon cami. The floral pants definitely do all the work here and did I mention, they are super comfortable? A must buy for the summer season!

I adore this Michael Kors body-across bag! And it matches my Michael Kors watch! Perfect!

Let's not give the floral pants all the credit here, the orange heels are most definitely pretty cool (i love the colour and the style of the heel). No surprise that they were another amazing Zara purchase!

We met up with one of our other friends for lunch, Cerys and decided to head to Las Iguanas, which is a really nice Latin American restaurant. The food there was truly amazing but I got to mention that the cocktails are to die for! Probably is one of my favourite restaurants in Cardiff.

I decided to go for a simple dish - the Churrasco Fiasco which is skewered Chicken, marinated and grilled in a honey-comb peri-peri sause, it was amazing!! For more information on the restaurant, visit their website: http://www.iguanas.co.uk

Cheers!

Thanks for reading!

Maxi Pleats

On my second day in Cardiff, me and my best friend Molly decided to go to visit her grandmother - which I absolutely love. Grandma Prue (to which I like to call her) and her boyfriend John decided to surprise us and take us to visit Penarth beach, which is about 20 minutes away from Cardiff. It was such a lovely surprise and definitely worth visiting! Penarth beach has a cute pier which we walked along eating our ice creams (British tradition) whilst enjoying the amazing views, the only downside was the weather - a little chillier than expected but hey in the UK you cant expect high temperatures (that would be a miracle!).

To be completely honest, not that much effort was put into today's look. I was in a rush which is unusual and therefore went for a comfortable outfit. Maxi skirts are always an essential piece for any summer wardrobe, I absolutely love this pleated maxi skirt, its so comfortable and the colour is unique. The overall look portrayed a bohemian style, which is always in trend especially within the hot seasons. What do you all think?

I love the details and mixture of prints within these sandals! Perfect to match with some denim shorts or a maxi skirt like done here.

My beautiful best friend Molly always looking beautiful as per usual!

Just a couple of views of the beach from Penarth. If you visit Cardiff, I definitely recommend a visit to Penarth - it's only 20 minutes away! The cute little village gives you a taste of the Welsh culture. I have to admit that I have always been a Welsh wannabe, I love the country especially Cardiff!
