Ibiza Boho

Just a quick one today, as I'm super busy! I have officially arrived in Ibiza! I'm so happy to finally be here after months of dreaming about it! I was also so happy to be reunited with my boyfriend - after 7 weeks without him! :(

I am currently working with a photographer assisting on shoots and attending events- which is really exciting. I'm currently at a Mac Cosmetics conference event in Ibiza Town. We've been shooting at the Ibiza Gran Hotel, which has incredible architecture and gorgeous views so I'm very lucky to be here! I've been so busy since I got here that I haven't even had a chance to sunbathe yet, but I guess I've got the whole summer to do that!

It wouldn't be Ibiza without some boho style! I've seen so much of it since arriving so I decided to make a mini outfit set as inspo. I am loving beach loose cotton numbers atm, they're perfect for summer - especially those warmer days!

Wide Leg Stripes

I have been searching for these trousers for so long! I saw a similar pair on NastyGal.com that were completely sold out in my size (story of my life) and ever since I have been on the hunt for a similar pair. These beauties were only £24.99 from H&M as well, so definitely worth buying!! I really love how they fit really well around the waist and bum as this is always an issue for me because my waist is really small. The D-ring style fastening is really beneficial in these as you can pull them as tight around your waist as needed. I also love that they're very similar to some of the Celine styles with the D-ring so thats always a plus! 

My go-to item of clothing is always a pair of jeans, - I practically live in them. When I saw these beauties I decided that they would be the perfect replacement for everyday jeans and to help me break my everyday clothing rut! I've written before about getting into a style rut and how it can be hard to break, but I definitely feel that these are the perfect trousers! 

Zara and Monki also do pairs similar to these, but I felt the Zara ones didn't fit well and were £40 and I think the Monki black and white stripped ones were meant to be Culottes, but as I'm quite short I wouldn't have known the difference hahaha! In the following photos I've styled them with a ribbed Zara knit tank top and some nude court heels for going out for dinner. But I've also worn them with trainers and a basic white tee just for an everyday kind of outfit. Absolutely love them!!

Kendall and Kylie Topshop Collection Review

Kendall and Kylie, where did it all go wrong? I don't mean this to be a bitchy or negative post but honestly, what is the Kendall and Kylie Topshop collection?? With Kendall's high-end fashion modelling experience and Kylie's unique sense of style,  I honestly expected so much more from them!

The collection is described as channelling a Californian summer vibe - yawn. Like hasn't that been done already?! I know they're trying to appeal to younger girls as Topshop does cater to 16 years+ but still, I genuinely thought they were going produce something a little more groundbreaking. 

Kylie's style is edgy and high fashion with lace up thigh highs and figure hugging shapes. I've seen her in a lot of nude hues also - not to mention her ever-changing trend setting hairstyle. Kendalls style is more defined, reflecting a 'model off duty' look, with sports luxe bombers, boot heels and casual distressed denim.

I personally don't think the collection itself reflects either of their style and consists of some overpriced slogan tees and floral playsuits -yawn again. Neither of which I've seen either of them ever wearing. 

I really thought they'd use this as an opportunity to place themselves within the fashion industry leading to more opportunities to develop their style and then maybe set up their own brand. I for starters think the collection (not to be bitchy) is incredibly bland. They really could've brought some edgy and bold styling to this collection to really make their mark as fashion icons. 

For weeks I've seen them posting on their social media page's talking about the 'exciting' fashion designs they've been working on and I really had high expectations! I still think the collection will sell well, even sell out for that matter - but for all the wrong reasons. There's so much mad talent out there and it's not fair that given such a big opportunity they've wasted it on basic floral patterns and Primarky slogan tees! (Nothing wrong with Primark but, c'mon!)

Sorry girls, in my opinion you've really missed the mark on this one! I'd usually write the link to the collection here, but I really wouldn't bother. Plus I've just seen that it's sold out already, queue girls on Depop selling it for triple what it's worth!
