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. 

Just thought I would put together a post of all the wonderful garms I have bought recently, although I'm sure it won't be long before I outfit post most of them, but all the same they make for a pretty photo..

One of my favourite things about Thailand so far has been the markets and the untold amount of wonderful things they all have. Most of them have quite a lot similar displayed however it is always fun to rummage and have a look through, there are so many colours and bright things - literally I'm like a child in a sweet shop. James is somewhat not impressed as yes I can admit that we have seen pretty much everything there is to see, but I still find something that fascinates me.

So moving on; here are some of the bits I purchased the other day, I must admit that I did get a little carried away and got a lot more than I thought. I was only suppose to be trying to find a new dress, which I did find, as well as two pairs of short, a top, a bag and some fabulous trousers. I cannot stop staring at them all I am such sucker for patterns and textures so all these are a dream. 

I'll no doubt be living in these over the next couple of weeks so I'll be sure to blog as I do. Speak soon xo 

Wearing a very old Motel number today - which surprisingly I have not blogged before. I wore this dress when I attend LFW SS13 here and don't think I have worn it since, but Thailand has been perfect opportunity to whip out some old time favourites.

The weather has been intensely hot these last 3 days, literally gone from rain and clouds to scorching sunshine. However I'm not complaining even if I did suffer with a burnt nose and bum for a couple of days, it is nice to see clear skies.

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.

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

Koh Tao

Our little shack on the rocks in Koh Tao. Every night we would lay there think tonight is definitely the night we get washed away, aha.

Koh Nang Yaun

The weather here is still pretty Grey and I am starting to miss the sunshine. I here at home it has been lovely and summer has finally arrived. I think I'm slightly a little jealous, however I take that back quickly as I am in Thailand and having an amazeballs time.. just not in the sun. 

Today's post is an evening look I wore out the other night for dinner and to explore to town. Just a pretty simple outfit, in this heat everything I wear I find is pretty simple. The skirt is an oldie but a classic and keeps on reappearing in my current wardrobe so I thought I would blog it again. This crop top from RiverIsland was such a little bargain for only £12.99 I love it, it brings such a pop of colour to an easy outfit. I find really flattering on me too which is a bonus : ) I am aware that I look like I have a giant coconut on my head but I am finding my frizzy mane ridiculous to maintain in the humid heat. Even my topknot is out of control. 

So a little more on my travel and when we visited Koh Tao. We were there for 4 nights and had the best weather it was gorgeous and the beach was at the nicest I have been to yet, clear blue water and silky sand. Koh Tao was really nice, lots of suffers and divers around so it definitely is the place to go if you are looking to do diving. Whilst we was there we went on a snorkelling trip which took us to five different destinations and we got the opportunity to get off the boat and snorkel - which was amazing we saw so many different and colourful kinds of fish and the people on the boat would throw these little biscuits in for the fish and hundreds would come swarming. You could get right amongst them it was amazing, one of those moments I wished I had an underwater camera for.

After half an hour or so of snorkelling at each stop we get back on the boat and go to the next place. That was the part I DREADED the most, I get really bad sea sickness and it was quite choppy water on that day I managed to hold myself together all the way to the last destination and as we pulled up to get off my body could not take anymore and well I threw up over board. I felt so embarrassed aha but I've never seen people move so fast everyone was off that boat in a second. So after my little hiccup we were at Koh Nang Yuan are last destination where we plan to stay for 2 hours. Koh Nang Yaun is three small islands all connected by one beach, it is so picturesque such a beautiful place to visit. Some people stay on the island however there is literally one restaurant and shop. But I suppose for a paradise honeymoon destination it would be perfect.

So minus the seasickness it was such a brilliant day. After an eventful day we headed back and just strolled around Koh Tao's town and got some nice grub, where I peacefully tried very hard not to think of tomorrows boat trip back to Koh Samui - which turned out to be a whole different ball game as we woke up to torrential rain and the choppiest waves ever. I'll let you guess what the outcome of that journey was.. and it is safe to say that I wasn't the only one this time. xo
