A Royal Affair- Holiday Lookbook Day 3

Finally posting the last Portugal pictures! I've just been so busy with finals that I haven't had a chance to blog before now. 

On this day, I went to the cutest little town in Algarve called Silves. These photos were taken atop the castle there. It really was such a beautiful location, the top of the tower had been turned into a lovely garden, and walking around the edge gave panoramic views of the town and the green farmland beyond. The weather was fantastic, so I opted for a more summery look. I paired a flowy patterned crop top from PacSun with high waisted destroyed Naf Naf denim shorts. I love the detail of the straps of the crop top, its like a string of embroidered daisies. Because I was going to do quite a bit of walking, I'm wearing a simple pair of black ankle boots from NewLook. I wear them all the time and they're so versatile. For a bit of added warmth, I also wore the floral patterned kimono from Urban Outfitters that I featured in my Halloween post a few weeks back.


Portugal was so beautiful and so rich in culture, I would definitely go back! Missing it already.

Lisbon- Holiday Lookbook Day 2

No trip to Portugal is complete without a trip to Lisbon, so I went up for the night. Since I was traveling north, I had to dress a little warmer. I opted for a cute lace collared tank from Topshop tucked into Pull & Bear black high waisted jeans (bought in Ireland). I paired this with an embroidered linen jacket from Urban Renewal and a pair of tan leather heeled booties that I bought in Lagos. I swept my hair to the side in kind of a half french braid, I did keep taking pieces of my hair in as I braided down, but didn't use the entirety of my hair. This kept it looking loose yet classy. These pictures were actually taken in the courtyard of St George's castle! The view from the castle was stunning, I would definitely recommend you visit if you're ever in Lisbon.

The Tip of the World- Holiday Lookbook Day 1

Right now, I am fortunate enough to be on vacation in the south of Portugal, in the Algarve district! Today I visted Ponta da Piedade, a peninsula of sorts that juts into the ocean. I titled this post the tip of the world because back in the day, Europeans thought that the coast of Portugal was the most extreme bounds of the earth. If you are ever in Lagos, you should definitely go see it, it was absolutely stunning. I matched the ocean and sky today with a simple powder blue shift dress from Missguided. This dress is so simple, yet so cute and flattering. You can dress it up with a big statement necklace and holographic platform heels, or keep it casual with sunnies and flats like I did. It would also make a nice beach cover up if you wanted to go swimming. I absolutely love the colour, it is complimentary to basically all skin tones. I left my hair very natural and wavy to go with the beachy vibe of the day. Purchased the Missguided dress while I was in the UK over the summer, the sunnies from I Am accessories in Rotterdam, and the flats from Urban Outfitters in the states.
