France Part 2: The Places

This is the second and final part I'm doing about my holiday in France which I got back from last week. It was such a pretty area we stayed in- The Aveyron region? Anyone know it?

The pictures do most of the talking and felt the scenery deserved it's own post away from the outfits which you can see by clicking here or scrolling down to the post below.



These two above were taken at Cordes Sur Ciel - a really pretty typical French village which is built on a hill and the streets are all cobbled and the houses are a gorgeous sandstone. Such a nice place!



I took these two at the Chateau in the village where we stayed- Bournazel. It's currently in the process of being restored to it's former glory but it was still gorgeous and it's character shined through!


Off course no visit to France is complete without visiting one of their traditional markets which definitely put ours to shame. We visited this one which is held weekly in Villefranche De Rouergue in the central sqaure- so lovely to wander around and look at all the amazing fresh fruit and vegetables.


Najac- another hilly village with a spectacular Chateau!


The gorgeous houses in Bournazel- aren't the blue shutters lovely!

Hope you have all enjoyed these few pics! More posts coming this week :)

France Part 1: The Outfits

Hi everyone! I'm back after my holiday to France. We stayed in the Aveyron region which is in the South/West. I had a lovely time, it was so nice soaking up a different culture and spending some time away from the usual day to day things! I thought that I would split it into two different posts rather than do one really long one- an outfit one which this one will be and the other will be places I visited and some of the nice photos I took.

After arriving on the first day to a sweltering 38 degrees the temperature never really went below 32 degrees every day so it was pretty hot! It was great to finally get my summer clothes out as there haven't been many opportunities in England this summer.


Outfit 1: ASOS Dress // Jack Wills Sunglasses
I had been lusting over this dress for weeks (and even featured it in a post of things I wanted!) so finally treated myself to it. It's difficult to tell from this picture but it has tiny sequins on the upper part that make up little daisys- VERY girly!!

Outfit 2: New Look Vest // H+M Shorts // Next Sandals
I'd originally planned on teaming this outfit with a cardigan but I definitely didn't need it! This was perfect for exploring picturesque French villages.


Playsuits and my hat!

Outfit 3: New Look Playsuit // Primark Belt // H+M Hat // Urban Outfitters Necklace
I actually bought this playsuit last summer and....it's from the kids department in New Look! Amazingly it fits (think they are pretty generous with their sizing!!) it's lovely and floaty though which was ideal for keeping me cool in the sun.

Outfit 4: H+M Playsuit // French Supermarket Espadrilles // H+M Hat
Another outfit featuring my very useful hat! The shoes I had to get whilst we were there as I hadn't taken any 'sensible' shoes and I'd under-estimated how hilly France was!

Hope everyone is ok, I'm looking forward to catching up on everyone's recent posts!
