Italy Haul

So as promised I'm going to show you what I bought in Italy.....

This is my third time going to Italy and every time I've bought some of these "il frutetto"soaps. They were €2.99 and they smell amazing...I put them loose in my suitcase and now ALL my clothes smell of these, it's great! I'm going to give these soaps to my friends and family as I thought they'd be ideal presents.


Bangles, €3.75 Accessorize (yes I did go to Accessorize in Italy! I couldn't resist haha)


I really love this silver bracelet with turquoise stones...I found it in the tackiest shop ever for €4 in Loreto (a huge Catholic pilgrimage place)


Purple pencil skirt, from Extyn Italia €10 (reduced from €32.50!)


Skirt from Zara, €6.99 (reduced from €25.95!)


Top from Zara...I really love the detailing round the shoulder. It was only €3.99 reduced from €19.95



Smart blouse from United Colors of Benetton €8 reduced from €26.90....I have to wear 'business attire' for sixth form next year, which means suit and blouse. I'll show you how silly I look in my 'uniform' in my next post...seriously I look like a bank clerk :P


Enjoy! xo

Picture Overload: Holiday Snaps from Italy

Hello there!
I got back from Italy on Tuesday night and just got round to sorting through my photos this morning so I thought I'd show you some. I had a really great time in Italy...the weather was great, the countryside and towns we visited were absolutely beautiful and interesting and the food was amazing.

We stayed in Loro Piceno, a small village in the region of Le Marche (it's on the east side of Italy...on the Adriatic Coast). The little shrine with the flowers in the passata bottle made me laugh!



Me by our pool!


We found this lizard had fallen in the pool so we fished it out and amazingly the next day it had recovered!


These huge bunches of grapes were in the garden.


Totally relaxed! :P


Our pool and the house - we had the top apartment so had some stunning views


Dress from Primark - taken just before we went to an outdoor opera which was a really cool experience!


The beautiful Adriatic



I want one of these 3! :P




At the end of the holiday we spent a few days in Ravenna...we saw these stunning, old mosaics in one of the churches




I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my pictures...it's horrible being back in England, and to think I'll be back at school in a couple of weeks!
Another post coming soon about what I bought in Italy :)
