Holiday Outfit #7 x military

top - Topshop, skirt - H&M, hat - Calvin Klein, shoes - unknown

Just realised how much I wore this top on holiday! Sorry for the repetition but I packed the morning of flying (such a stupid thing to do when you're a fashion blogger and simply want to take all your clothes with you!). You might also have noticed the lack of shoe variation - unfortunately due to the same error. I could only fit 1 pair in my case after packing so many clothes and with 50 seconds to spare until the taxi came I couldn't risk missing my flight for shoes (boo hoo)

Short but sweet post as I'm in a hurry!!! I love the hole details on the side of this skirt, gives a very military feel (except maybe a soldier wouldn't wear my Calvin Klein khaki hat).

Holiday Outfit #6

top - Topshop, trousers - Sue Ryder, sandals - unknown, hat - H&M

If you read my blog you'll have seen these trousers before but worn in the cold climate of England and I'm so happy that I've been able to style them differently to be worn in the warmth too. The quite vibrant colours and pattern means it's easiest to team with plain tops like this white crop top from Topshop, especially to draw attention to the trousers - which would be the focus of my outfit. But if you like the print clashing trend, you could pair the trousers with a printed top! 

I also absolutely love the pleats at the front of the trousers! It's the little details that do it for me...

If you follow my instagram (@gracemellor) you will see that I've had a sudden craze of hats (I never take off my fedora) so when I saw this hat in H&M it was an instant buy! I think everyone should have one of these classic timeless hats in their wardrobe for their summer holidays!!

Anyone else having a hat craze at the moment?

Holiday Outfit #2

This is another one of my holiday outfits, but this is from the evening's as it was FAR too hot during the day time to wear trousers (I'm not complaining though - I was thankful to get a little bit of sun, even if there was a heat wave in England at the same time!)

I absolutely love these trousers! I bought them from H&M just before my holiday. They remind me a little of pyjama pants (I love this trend, which can be seen in Zara, because it's so damn comfy!) because they're casual and can just be slipped into, they've turned into my 'in-doubt' trousers. I love the colour of them because I'm a huge fan of dark clothes but they liven up my mainly black wardrobe and the pattern is quite delicate in a way. I'd probably wear them completely different at home but considering I was in a country where if I wore anything else I'd melt, I just paired them with my topshop crop top and plain white sandals, keeping the focus of my outfit on my gorgeous new trousers.

Have any of you tried the Zara pyjama trousers? I bought them on sale but the cut didn't suit me :(

Holiday Outfit #1 x blanc

shorts - Zara, top - Topshop, bra - H&M, shoes - French shop (similar sold in Zara)

I feel so bad for not posting while I was in France, especially because I really wanted to show all my readers the amazing art and culture that I experienced while I was in Cannes and St. Tropez. However, before showing you all that (which I will in a separate post - because there's so much to show!) I am going to show you a few of the outfits that I wore while I was out there. My brother actually dropped my camera into the sea within the first few days of being there and so that is no longer working and so these were shot on my phone - sorry for the poor quality. 

This is from one of the first few days of my holiday and the first day that I went to Cannes! It is such a beautiful city with such incredible architecture (I was especially dazzled by the Carlton!) and being a fashion blogger, you can only presume that I was drawn to the many incredible designer stores along the front naturally. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford much from the stores like Celine and Chanel but I'm hoping that next time I go I'll be returning home with many shopping bags! My mum did say that if the Chanel store had the espadrilles that I wanted in that I could buy them, but they had already revamped the store for the autumn season (boo hoo!) 

I love the simplicity of this outfit. The whiteness shows off the mini-tan that I had already received by the first few days and also makes the smaller details like the lace on the shorts and the neon bra beneath my top shine through.
