M&Co Holiday Capsule Wardrobe Challenge

Happy Sunday lovelies!

So today I am participating in the M&Co Wardrobe Capsule Challenge because I love a challenge involving a budget and I am planning a little holiday to Brittany, France in the next two months so this is the perfect opportunity to prepare myself. The challenge was to create a capsule wardrobe from the Holiday Shop on M&Co's website for under £100. 

Here is what I chose:

I always love to get out and have big adventure on holiday so I always pack good pair of crops, usually jeans because they are cute and retro styled but also will survive a hike. To wear on top, I like a light, loose top that I can double up as a beach cover to protect my Casper like skin from the sun.

 

Cropped Jeans

Chambray Blouse

Next I chose this amazing polka dot bikini which I love because it is high waisted and has thick halter straps. It's a fun colour and will do nicely for days on the beach or by the pool.

High Waisted polka dot bikini: Top/ Bottoms

 For evenings or more relaxed days, a nice dress is always a must and I love the print and bust design on this dress. It has a retro feel and wide straps so I don't need to mess around with strapless bras etc. 

Floral Print Dress

Last of all, I like to bring a couple of accessories that  I can wear more than once. These elephant studs are cute and simple and won't get caught together in my suitcase, but will jazz up my ears in or out of the water. 

Elephant Stud Earrings

I chose this little headband from the girls section as the bow is so cute and retro and would look great with any of my looks above.

So I'm sure you are wondering what my total was for my capsule wardrobe, drumroll please!… I chose all this for exactly £100. Fingers crossed some (or all) of these lovely things end up in my wardrobe very soon!

Beauty and the Beard Take Over the Internet

Hello friends!

Here we are together - aren't we cute?

So today I thought I would write a little post about something different and hopefully you know someone who this will interest. Recently, my fiance Steven has started what I am calling his man blog - and he writes  all about beards, men's fashion, mostly rockabilly style and other bits and bobs. 

If your more manly half or friends feel left out of the blogging scene or if you want to encourage them in the Rockabilly style direction send them over for a read.

                                                You can find Steven over on The Beardiful Man

See you all very soon!
