The Perfect Pair with Trilogy Stores* | QueenBeady

It’s always hard to find the perfect pair of jeans. Time and time again I find myself with the dilemma when shopping for a pair; are they too tight, too baggy round the waist? Do I go flared or skinny? The choices are endless and it can start to send me in to a tiswas hopping from store to store. I know that my go-to pair are the Leigh jeans from Topshop along with some ”treggings” from Primark. I like my jeans to be comfortable but I don’t want a wardrobe filled with the exact same pair of jeans times ten. That’s why Trilogy Stores is so appealing to me. All these different brands and styles in one place makes it a lot easier to decide what needs to GO straight in my basket!

Visting Tulum, Mexico | QueenBeady

To say we only went to Mexico for a week we managed to pack in a lot of sightseeing. One of the top things we wanted to do was go visiting Tulum, Mexico. We’d been told that the local buses ran every 3 minutes outside the hotel and for a mere 35 peso’s each and 20 minute journey up the road we would reach Tulum. Sadly, our rep told us that the best time to go would be 4pm as it would be quieter and less hot but as we arrived the first time around 4.20pm we were told that the gates were shut and last entry had already been. Feeling a little deflated we had a beer in the local bar and then set back off home reluctantly, but with a plan to get up early the next day and try again.

Well & truly Autumn | QueenBeady

It’s well & truly Autumn. The nights are drawing in a lot earlier, the leaves are starting to turn and there is a certain chill in the morning air. I’m one of those people that has a love/hate relationship with Autumn. It’s my birthday soon & I love all the celebrations that come in the latter part of the year but the lack of sunshine and daylight is not something that appeases me. There is something good that comes from the cooler months though and it’s the start of a winter wardrobe. It’s kind of like a full refresh of my closet because the big jumpers come out and layers start appearing, there’s things I uncover that I forgot I had.

Valladolid, Mexico | QueenBeady

I’m not going to lie to you, this post isn’t going to be filled with many words, it’s mainly about the beautiful street scenes I managed to capture whilst we stopped for a whistle stop tour of Valladolid, Mexico, after visiting the fascinating Chichen Itza and the Hubiku Cenote (click the links to read more!). It was a chance for us to have a stretch during our three hour trip back to the hotel and just enough time to get ourselves a coconut ice cream from one of the cutest ice cream bicycles from the town square. It was great to finally see a fully functional, working town in Mexico.

International Street Food Challenge with Travel Supermarket‏ | QueenBeady

Back in August I was invited to the International Street Food Challenge with Travel Supermarket‏, but sadly due to work commitments and my then upcoming holiday to Mexico, I couldn’t get my butt down to Shoreditch for this amazing event. I was super sad because it combined my love for all things travel and also some scrumptious food from street style vendors too. A whopping fifth of Brits decide on their holiday destination all down to the cuisine that is offered at the hotel or resort. That’s a staggering amount so it’s plain to see why local’s want to make sure that their food is up to scratch! Luckily, because I couldn’t head down Travel Supermarket wanted me to try and create one of the dishes that was on offer at the event.
