So me and James have been Adventurous Annie's and decided to motor bike (ped) around the island. Seeing what we could find and just have a change of scenery really, believe it or not but going to the beach everyday can become quite tiresome.

We had such a good day exploring, finding streets and road that we haven't been down before, it is amazing how many temples the island has and we didn't even know were just around the corner. I have seen so many places and shops I want to go back and check out and restaurants that we would like to try. It was a really good way to see what the other side has to offer : )

Here are a few snaps I took along the way, and of course what I wore //

The Chinese temples were the most beautiful I have ever seen. The colour and detail that goes into these buildings inside and out is just incredible.

This is the ceiling of my favourite temple, just amazing.

So today I'm a clashing Clancy in my elephant print shorts and River Island crop, sometimes it's fun to just wear whatever the heck you fancy and not worry about looking totally ridiculous. I'm in Thailand, so who cares, oh look at me being all yolo. 

Speaking of yolo, yesterday I decided that I was going to get my nose pierced. I have liked the idea of getting in done for a while now however I couldn't actually bring myself to go through with it, I think it was the thought of the gun being held to my face that was freaking me out the most. I have both tattoos and other piercing so the pain wasn't really worrying - in saying that I still crapped my pants and spent a good ten minutes prior being pierced flapping my arms around in the air freaking out. BUT I got it done and it was absolutely fine no pain what so ever, just afterwards when the blood rushes to the area it starts to throb a little. Woo you can imagine I was feeling like a little tough cookie after my mini adrenaline rush. HA really I'm the biggest woos going.

Travel update - things have been pretty quiet really me and James have just been chilling and settling into our new place to live. We have currently changed rooms 3 times due to bad wifi, a bad smell, to o dark, noisy neighbour, and a damp bathroom we aren't usually that fussy so believe when I say it was bad enough for us to ask to move. But third time lucky and we finally have a room with good wifi and bright lights so we don't feel like we are living in a cave. So finger crossed everything stays good and we can live here for the majority of our time in Chaweng. 

Dress has been styled differently here in a previous post. 

Maxi skirt - Topshop (simliar)

Fedora - Topshop 

Necklace - Next 

Ring - Primark

Feeling all boho-chique in ma fedora and maxi skirt, which makes a nice changes as I have been living in my casj attire for a few days so I thought I'd make a little bit of effort, seen as it is the weekend and all.  Although I am just wearing a skirt and hat nothing special, however it does make me feel a little fancy - oh for the little things. Me and James are about to go out for some food and mooches around town, and I thought I'd post a quickie before I left, so here it was. Happy Friday peeps, have a good weekend. xo

again this skirt has been blogged before see here

So with London Fashion Week over for another season. I thought it would be a good time to put together a post sharing with you guys my full graduate collection. I studied BA Fashion Textile at Middlesex University, graduating last summer so this post is probably long overdue, however since leaving university I haven't really had time to reflect and look back on the last 3 years as I went straight into a temp job to save for travelling. However I am now here in Thailand with all the time in the world to reflect and well plan for the future.  

I had studied fashion since GCSE it being the only subject I was interested in and well soon to learn my passion, I continued to study all the way to degree level. So when it came to creating and designing what was to be my graduate collection it was a very surreal time and I wanted to create a collection that I would love and always look back on and be proud. Specialising in knitwear I chose to knit my entire collection and believe me when I say my life and soul went into those 6 looks. I have never worked so hard before in my life and by the end I was psychically and emotionally exhausted. However it was all worth it and would I do it again. Most definitely it was the best experience of my life, when I look back I find it so hard to believe that I managed to do it, the sleepless nights and the early morning starts seriously it was all such a blur at the time, but it was the most fun I have ever had AND the feeling when you finish and see your work walk down the runway, my god you just crumble aha.  I cried both times.

Happy Friday more importantly happy #LFW. I am so excited to see what's install for SS15 and I cannot wait to see all your blog post and fashiony goings on over the fashion week weekend. If your heading and blogging London Fashion Week, do leave your blog links below I'd love to read. 

1// Obsessed with this tie dye dress it makes me feel so boho, in a multicoloured kind of way. 

2// PURPLE PUP GATE! Yes only in Thailand (well and maybe on TOWIE). This snazzy little dude strolled past me and for a minute I was adamant I was seeing things aha. But no there is in fact a purple dog roaming the streets of Chaweng. 

3// Having a little mid week makeup experiment with a little pink dusting on the eyes. Actually really liked it, I never thought to wear coloured eyeshadow. But it is becoming 'a thing' so maybe I'll brave it more often. 

4// Last Saturday me and James went on a little walking adventure as the weather had been terrible and we had been stuck in doors quite a lot. Our 'stretching our legs' adventure found this amazing spirit tree which was so beautiful. I would like to have lots of these in my garden, hmm I wonder what Mum Bean would say? 

5// No harm in a little self quote motivation. Believe in your self Y'all. 

6// More tie dye, I told you this stuff is addictive. 

7// You'll see lots of these little outfits preps on my instagram, I like to plan and well I'm a blogger so obvs. I'm going to take a photo too. 

8// Another weekend adventure found this amazingly colourful and detailed building. Literally there is so much inspiration out here. 

9// Oh a favourite of mine. A cocktail VW and it is pink with fairy lights. Amazing I know. 

Just a little Instagram Lately post with my goings on and finds here in Thailand and all other fashion things of course. You can find me on instagram @kirstywearsblog .

Tie Dye Dress - Thailand (similar - WEARECOW)

Sandals - ASOS

Fedora - Topshop

Peacock Hair Extension - Topshop

Slightly in love with this post just because of the bright colours (hence the photo heavy post). I picked up this dress a couple of weeks ago and I am in love with it, it is so perfect and such an easier chuck over or on when needing something cool to wear. As silly as it might sound but I'm so excited to bring all by new bits home (back to England) just so I can team them up with my knitted cardigans and chunky boots. Although it will be summer when I get hone so I will have ages to wait aha god I'm going to be dying for a winter by then. 

I am aware that some of the bits I am blogging are not available to buy as they are from Thailand, but I do try my best to find similar items and link them in the garments list. WE ARE COW currently have a very similar tie dye dress which I have linked so if you like mine definitely check theirs out.
