ootd post

As you may know, a few weeks ago me and the family headed off to Andorra for the weekend to stay with my brother before his friends arrive for summer. It was a long 2 and a half hour car drive, but I am sure after reading this ‘my style’ post, you will understand why it was worth it. The scenery was phenomenal, and that is not an exaggeration, at all.

Kenzo Jungle Trousers – €3.00 (Jumble Sale) & Dr Martens – €35.00 (Jumble Sale)

If you don’t know, Andorra is a country in between Spain and France, and it is about 3 times the size of the Isle of Wight… but the population is less due to it all being mountains. On the border of France, is actually quite epic. We had to drive up a long (and actually quite scary) mountain edge. At first you think that the mountains are quite small, but when you get into Andorra, they are so big. I had never been to any mountains before, so it was interesting to see what they were really like.

A village an hour away from the border.

I’m sorry, I kinda’ had too… 

Haha, it seems like every time I feature Papa Posh he is always doing a ‘looking out at the view’ pose… he’s good at them…!! Oh, and can you see me by the little pointy hut thing? Anyhoo… as you can tell, the whole place is beautiful, by that I mean the scenery… the towns aren’t that amazing, seeing as they are all catered to skiers, and not holiday go-ers, but it was nice enough! Also, definitely don’t go there when it is a religious celebration…. when you have people throwing fireworks into the road, right outside your apartment window, it is quite annoying… and scary at times!

What I Wore: White Studded Jacket €1.00 (Jumble Sale/DIY), Mustard Yellow Peter Pan Collar Vest (Matalan), Pale Blue Pleated Maxi Skirt £6.00 (ASOS), Mint Green Converse Style Trainers £7.99 (H&M), Floral Sunglasses (Shop in Carcassone), Orange Bag €9.99 (H&M).

I decided to play it comfy for the days that we are out seeing as we were going up and around twisty roads for long(ish) periods of time. I am really happy with my new H&M bag! I thought it was sort of a rip off at first, but now I can see why it is quite a lot of money for faux leather. It is the perfect size, it looks great, and according to my brother, it looks more expensive than it really is, and I totally agree. I love the colour, and am totally happy I bought it now! Woop! As you can see also, I am still loving my maxi skirt and fake converses! They look nice and are super duper comfy, so it’s win win!

Whilst we were in Andorra, we also visited a few places, including a Historical Art place which is where the first 2 pictures here were taken. Doesn’t Mama Posh look good in her first blog appearance? I think so! We also visited a place called Naturlandia, which is an adventure place, literally at the top of a mountain! I would definitely recommend going there because there is, a 5.3 KM toboggan! Nope! You did not read that wrong! It is the world’s biggest and it is soooooooooo fun! Me and my brother went on it twice, and definitely don’t regret it (well, except the bruised backs from the dodgy seats)! You sit in and it takes you up for 10 minutes to the very top of the mountain, you literally sit vertically at one point! The view is spectacular when you look back (probably wouldn’t recommend doing so but, if you can!), and you don’t realise how high up you are until you drive up. The toboggan is different to most, because you can control it and go as fast or as slow as you like. Me and my brother being the most daring of the people on the ride decided to go full speed ahead… which meant having to break about 6 or 7 times for the slow coaches in front. I cannot recommend it enough going just for the toboggan, it was amazing! Seriously it was! You can find more info here: Naturlandia!

I hope you enjoyed this little lifestyle post! I am going to be doing a design collection inspired by it, so watch out for that!  You may notice a slight difference with upcoming OOTDS… our family maaaaaay have got a new camera! YAY! So excited to start doing proper good ones! Woop!

A couple of days ago we went out to a town near us called ‘Castres‘ (Click the link to see what I got up to there, last time!) and we went to see a Venetian ‘Masque’ Parade, which at first looked terrible, it just looked like a few men dressed up on stage singing old Venetian songs, so we were pretty annoyed as I had bought my real Venetian ‘Masque’ to wear, and my snazzy-ma-gee camera to take pictures of the whole event. We decided to go round the corner to the well known ‘Musee Goya’ or ‘Goya Museum’ which is dedicated to the artist ‘Goya’. A few Police men passed our way whilst walking to it, and then we saw police cars, and people sitting on the side of the road… we then looked through the gates of the museum, and saw the most amazing looking costumes ever. Get in, I did have a blog post to write! Anyway, as you can imagine it was pretty exciting to find it all, so I took some pictures, and did an OOTD for you. Sono così brillante! (I’m so brilliant! – Sarcasm, okay?!)

What I Wore:Aztec Blazer £1.50 (eBay – Copper Garden), Jumpsuit (Matalan), Leather Belt (Charity Shop), Stripey Top (Saint James), Converse Style Trainers £7.99 (H&M) & Real Venetian ‘Masque’ (VENICE!!). Please excuse the messy hair, it was raining, and I was wearing a mask okay?

This dude, okay I officially love you man (Haha, that’s a film if you exclude the officially and okay), I love the prints and the necklace 🙂 This design actually reminded me of Daniel Lismore (Hi, if you’re reading this!), because of the amazing fabrics etc, maybe you could get some inspiration for the next collection?

WOW! I love cupcakes, and I love colour, again, I now officially love you. The colour of the dress was incredible, seriously incredible. You can see how much time and effort has gone into these costumes (They are all handmade by the person wearing them). I wish I could’ve eaten one of those cakes… yum! (I know they’re fake, a girl can dream)

Now this lady, she was special. She played music through her head, you see that massive hat with all those amazing feathers in? Yeah, well that had a speaker in it! Heavy! Ouch! I really like the top, and actually I do like the skirt, I perhaps wouldn’t wear them at the same time, but I sure would love them both! #WANT.

Stop right there (Thank you very much, I need somebody with the human touch)! I need those trousers. Need! I don’t want, I need them. They are so cool! I don’t even care that they have been worn by a man, I wish I could be him in that picture. Seriously, if anyone knows where I can find a pair similar, message me!

There are LOADS more pictures, here they are below in a gallery if you fancy a browse. They really are extravagant and I just love them all! You really should take a look:

Aren’t they all just fabulous?! Except from the rain, it was such a cool event, and one day, I will design a collection inspired by it all! Just you wait! *Optimistic Fairy*

WHAT I WORE:River Island Sleeveless Top, Primark ‘Cheryl Cole Style’ Dress, New Look Aztec Top (Underneath), White Trousers (Not sure where from), Claire’s Sunglasses & €1 Charity Shop Sanstone Walking Boots.

If you’re wondering where I got my Jumbo Hairspray (Fake) Bottle from, well, I made it! My mum had these big cardboard things which were for holding some clothes moth protectors, and I thought I would make something of it! I use paper mache, then sprayed it gold, and then just added everything else! I would love it if L’Oreal were to release one of these, it would solve all our ‘not enough spray’ worries! Also, do you like my GIF? I thought it would add the something extra to my OOTDs… 😀

What were you wearing today? Do you wear Walking Boots as a fashion statement? What’s your best bargain?
