Hey everyone, so I made a second vlog over on my youtube channel. I have only just started getting the hang of the whole video editing thang' so hopefully this one has improvements from the first. I would love it if you could give this video a thumbs up and also subscribe if you like seeing my Thailand diaries. I think my next video will be a mini travel lookbook, with a few things I have been wearing recently. Hope you enjoy watching : )

Successful beach days.

Picked up some snazzy new trousers,  Cloudy outfits,  Selfie Saturdays, Panang curry heaven.

Love these denim and lace embellished shorts from Chaweng market.

I am determined to learn how to make one of these crochet tops, I also want to make a bikini too. Or I might just buy one haha.

Cute little cocktail bar with the prettiest of fairy lights

Pretty beaded rings at the markets,  Passion Fruit Mojitos, James with a book (well kindle) in his hand never thought I'd see the day, Cloudy beach days with ma Luca sunnies.

I have been on a bit of a roll this week with the old blog posts, which is kind of a nice feeling as I feel like I'm really starting to back into the old swing of things. So keeping it up I thought I would just update you on a little 'life lately' post with a few snaps of what I have been up to recently. Most of my days are just spent exploring the town or at the beach, as you can see I love to walk to markets even if I have seen almost everything there is to see I always find something new I like aha. Today marks my second month here in Thailand, which is ridiculous to believe. Time has and is going way to fast

Cannot believe I have been here 2 months already and it is September. No way is it nearly Christmas surely.

I hope you like this kind of post, I think it is a nice way to share with you some of my many photos I have been taking and just to show you what sort of things I have been doing and seeing, etc.

Also for more travel snippets and finds you can find me on Instagram where I post daily here. xo 

Kimono - H&M (similar)

Crop Top - H&M (similar)

Bikini - Topshop 

Taurus Necklace - Topshop 

Sunglasses - Ebay
Beaded Ring - Thailand

A casual beach look today, this kimono has sure come in handy here in Thailand it is perfect and lightweight so really easy to wear in the humid heat. Unfortunately H&M didn't have it on their website as it was in the sale when I purchased it, however I found one similar which is just as nice (see item link).

Having only a suitcase of clothes with me I'm slowly running out of new things to blog, I have purchased a few snazzy bits from the shops and markets here but on a travellers budget its not possible to keep replenishing the suitcase wardrobe aha. So there maybe a few things that reappear occasionally and you might think I've seen her wear that before, but I promise to reinvent it every time so I hope it doesn't get to boring. 

Bikini - Primark 

Skirt - Chic Wish

Sliders - RiverIsland

Sunglasses, bag - Topshop

Another beach look for today's post, this bikini is one of my favourites. Primark have created some gooduns' this summer they have had so many different styles and prints and I cannot help but feel girlie in this one, specially with my hair braid and swishy skirt aha. I was very excited about my hair braid in this post as I haven't had a braid put in my hair since I was about 8 years old, sadly this one only last a few days before falling to pieces in my hair, which I was very upset about I remember them staying in for weeks and weeks when I was younger, gahh how times have changed.

Today was the first day the sun has shined in about four days, so I was a happy bean catching my weekly vitamin D fix. I hope the rain stays away for a few days. 

Black Bikini - Topshop 

Sunglasses  - Topshop 

Peacock Feather Hair Band - Topshop 

Stripe Aztec Duffle Bag - Topshop 

Elephant Print Trousers - Thailand

Chaweng - Koh Samui

So now we are in Koh Samui Chaweng where we plan to settle for the majority of our time in Thailand, as this is where James will train at one of the local thai boxing gyms. We have been in Chaweng for just over 2 weeks now and it is slowly but surely starting to feel like temporary 'home'. We have our favourite restaurants and markets and also are favourite spot on the beach so all things at the moment are pretty content. 

After a while we will visit other places in Thailand I really want to go to Bangkok, Koh Pi Pi and Chiang Mai, and we also will be going to Malaysia and Bali. So all exciting things to look forward to. Anyone considering going travelling or to live in a different country for a while I 100% recommend you just go ahead and do it, you only live once and it will be such an amazing experience to look back on. Having graduated for uni just last year, me and james planned to go to thailand just after therefore my goal since leaving uni was just to get a job and save save save. Now here it feels like such an achievement that we made it, even though part of me is still lost and in limbo about my future and career I'm hoping that thailand will give me the inspiration to succeed in something I enjoy and love when I get back to the UK. Blogging being one of them I haven't really had the opportunity to put 100% into my blog and I have been writing it for 3 years now, so I'm looking forward to my blog being the main focus for a while :) thank you to everyone who still reads my blog and all new followers. xo
