Corfu Travels: The Rundown

03/08/2015

I am back from the sunny (and the ever so quiet) town called Arillas in Corfu, Greece; typing this wrapped up in an extra large hoodie and jeans because England is cold. Where has the UK summer gone? 

I haven't written for over a week and have felt a little lost without blogging but it's always healthy to take breaks so now I am feeling more inspired than ever. I have really thought about what way I want to share my holiday content with you so I have about a week's worth of posts planned which I hope you love as much as me!


This funky not-so-little suitcase* was a gift from George at ASDA and was the perfect size for mine and Josh's clothes for a week's holiday.

Oh wait no. Scrap that. Just my clothes weighed in at 23kg and it was a 20kg limit! But that's what you get when you have a fashion blogger girlfriend, right ladies? Poor Josh had to squeeze his clothes into a smaller suitcase.


Josh was sent some super cool Rayban 4147 sunglasses* to protect his eyes from the overpowering sun in Corfu. What a lucky fella, ey?


Oh no wait, hold up.

I made sure to take along my Le Spec Dandy shades* (featured here) which I wore with a few outfits throughout the week. They stand out and got a lot of attention! More on that soon!


We had some REALLY nice food during the week too. I practically ate my weight in feta cheese so I'm surprised I haven't returned home as a cube of feta cheese itself (although I am still pretty white - #palegirlproblems).

I ordered a really nice avocado and mozzarella salad with almonds and orange sauce dressing. It tasted lovely but wrong at the same time but is now something I really want to try and make at home!  I generally do prefer eating healthier at dinner time!


The beach was a 30 second walk from our apartment which was literally the best thing ever. Crystal clear waters and fluffy, smooth sand meant that I loved the beach on this holiday which is very unlike me. I usually hate sand but I found myself at the beach often by myself just chilling with nothing but a bikini, a can of peach iced tea and my earphones. Bliss.


I also shot some cool snaps on my Go Pro Hero 4 which I am super excited about! I really wanted to get one because I am going on a travel holiday in a few weeks time and then Josh surprised me with one :)

Here's some cool snaps we took but I will be sharing more of them this week!


That's the round up of the week!

Soooo, what do you have to look forward to this week? I have the following planned for you!

  • GO PRO snaps
  • Beach snaps
  • Outfits 
  • Vlog video filmed on the GO PRO
I hope you are as excited as me! Lots planned so I had better get started...  

Stay tuned x

  2. It looks like you had such an amazing holiday! I haven't travelled much and this is definitely inspiring me! I also relate to the suitcase situation, my BF will struggle to share a case with me as I love to take pretty much my whole wardrobe on holiday! x

    1. Have you been enjoying them so far? I hope you have! I have a few more to go yet! Why do you only have hand luggage? There is a positive though .... you won't have to deal with checking in baggage! That's the boring bit!
