Location: Notting Hill

Shirt: ASOS | Shorts: Levi | Shoes: Adidas | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Sunglasses: Quay

Nails: Topshop 'Keep Me Sweet'

After returning over £200 worth of clothes and shoes to ASOS over the past week, either because they didn't fit right or didn't look good on me, I was ecstatic when this highlighter/Barbie pink suede shirt not only fit well but I could see myself wearing it with heaps of different outfits I already had in my wardrobe.
On that note, I have a new shopping rule to live by thanks to Talita von Furstenberg's (DVF's granddaughter) Tatler UK interview; 'If you're trying something on and you can picture it with at least five items from your closet, then you should get it. But if it's like, "I could wear this dress if I got other shoes," then it's wasteful!'

Now back to the outfit; I decided to keep the attention on the shirt, so I paired it with some distressed, vintage Levi's, white sneakers and a cobalt blue mini bag.

London Fashion Week Day 1

Scarf: ASOS | Dress: Zara | Polo neck: H&M (similar) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Sunglasses: Quay

For my first day at LFW I was inspired by Olivia Palermo's unique way of tying scarves around her shoulders. This was one look I really wanted to try out last season at NYFW but didn't get the chance to. I found a similar printed scarf from ASOS and borrowed Giulia's dress and polo neck jumper. For shoes I wore Stan Smith's and for accessories I wore a bright red Rebecca Minkoff bag and blue My Girl sunglasses.

Red Vespa

Tee: Bimba y Lola | Shorts: Levi's | Sunglasses: Quay | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

On my last day in Lugano Giulia and I decided to get up early to take some last minute outfit photos before I had to head back to Milan.

As we were walking down to the lake, we spotted a Red Vespa and thought it'd be the perfect spot to take photos! It was hot and humid so I opted for some cut off Levi's shorts, an oatmeal tee and a cobalt blue mini bag.

Which one of my holiday outfits was your favourite?

Lago di Lugano

Location: Lugano, Switzerland

Dress: Zara | Shoes: ASOS | Sunglasses: Quay

Location: La Lanchetta Lounge Bar & Pinsa, Lugano

Top: Chicwish | Shorts: Levi's | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Lipstick: Estée Lauder Restless

After arriving in Lugano much later than expected - my flight was delayed 3 hours - I settled in to Giulia's family home and had a quick bite to eat before Giulia and I went off to do some exploring. It only took a couple of minutes to get from the house to the lake, where we took our shoes off and sat on the steps with our feet in the water.

Lugano is honestly one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The mountains on the Italian side of the lake look like something straight out of a Jurassic Park movie and the water was clear and shallow for the first couple of meters, then dramatically plunges down into a dark, aqua-green colour - the deepest point of the lake is 288 meters!

Once back at home and cooled down, we started to get ready to go for dinner. With it being disgustingly humid, make up was not an option; so I put on some red lipstick to make it look like I'd made an effort!
