Recently I visited Paris and I'll be honest, I can't stop thinking about these guys! I'm a strong believer of keeping a balanced diet and I couldn't not get myself some when I was in Paris now, could I?!
The shop itself is absolutely adorable and I love the pastel colour theme. There was so many pastries and cakes in all different shapes and sizes. Of course, the macarons are the main event so there was a large variety of flavours to choose from. In the end I managed to narrow it down to eight and in case you are wondering, the nutella (brown colour) and the salted caramel one (golden colour) were my favourites!
If you are ever visiting Paris then I'd recommend that you get yourself some of these and tuck right in!

I was going to do this before I went on holiday, but then I realised.. what if when I get there, they don't turn out to be that essential? so I waited until I got back to see what I actually really needed.
I've just spent a relaxing week in Tenerife (you'll be sick of hearing about it when you see what most of my planned posts are about.. oops) and I was glad to have brought these items along with me.
The first thing is a camera, maybe it's not that essential to some of you but I always think it's important to have something to look back on. Also, it's great to show your friends places you visited!
The second is suncream, I mean you wouldn't believe that I'm actually sunburnt since I'm still fairly pale, but it can be dangerous and extremely painful. A good suncream is a must, especially if you're in the sun all day. I took the Boots Soltan Dry Touch, it comes in different factors too to meet your needs.
The last thing that's quite important to me is a good book. I'm not really the type of person who's used to lounging holidays, I tend to prefer to explore quite a lot. So when I do have some time to chill, I enjoy it a lot more with a good book. I'll only get cranky in the sun otherwise! I took a few books away with me this time, Girl Online, We Were Liars, Severed Heads and Broken Hearts and If I Stay. I managed to read them all apart from If I stay. Severed Heads and Broken Hearts was probably my favourite- I couldn't stop reading it!
I understand that you might not agree that these are essential items, and perhaps something else may be higher in your list but I thought I'd share with you these three things as a lot of my time on holiday was spent using them- or reading them.

If you follow me on Twitter, you might know that I've just taken a short trip to Rome. I went with my boyfriend for his birthday, so I have a little outfit that I thought was cute and comfortable! The photos were taken in front of the Colosseum on a sunny; yet windy day, so excuse my hair!
The dress, draper and necklace are from Boohoo. I love the colourful print, it's very suited for Spring and Summer. It's quite thin but the little sleeves still keep your arms warmer if it's a bit chillier of an evening. There is just a zip on the back, the a-line style fits comfortably, and it's not clinging at all. I like this because especially when it's hot, I don't like things clinging to my stomach or arms. I chose the draper in a white so it can be paired with a lot of different items in my wardrobe. Again, this is thin but it's a nice flowy fit, so I would keep this aside for warmer months.
The statement necklace is fairly plain with colour because I didn't want too much going on. There is just a hint of baby blue which I like! This accessory was mainly to help me transition from day to night. My only problem with this is that some parts of it had spiky bits that were irritating my skin.
I've had the sunglasses since last summer and these are the foldable Ray-bans. I absolutely love them because I always break the arms off sunglasses. They seem to go with everything too as they are a brown colour.
I wasn't sure how hot it was going to be. So I decided to pair this with some tights and my black vans. I was quite glad that I did this since I was out all day and after walking everywhere, my feet needed to be comfortable!
I hope you like the outfit. I've also posted a vlog from day one at Rome, day two will be posted shortly afterwards featuring the outfit in this post. You can watch and subscribe here:
