Al Fresco in Autumn | QueenBeady

Faux Fur Gilet New Look at ASOS | Top Boohoo | Jeans Primark | Boots F&F Clothing at Tesco | Watch Olivia Burton

It’s one of those funny stages of the year, when you look outside your window at 7am in the morning you can see nothing but fog for miles but by lunchtime the sun is out and it’s sweltering, I mean how on earth are you meant to plan your wardrobe based on this? When payday hit I knew it was time to add some basics to my wardrobe that would see me through this turbulent period. I wanted a thin roll neck and Boohoo answered my prayers with this grey version that I’ve found myself reaching for most days for work. It’s a nice light material but the long sleeves come in handy for when it is a little cooler. I paired it with this gorgeous new faux fur gilet, it’s actually from the New Look range on ASOS. I tried to find it direct with New Look but couldn’t seem to find the same version so I added this to my online basket straight away. It’s super cosy!

El Dorado Seaside Suites by Karisma | QueenBeady

I don’t know about you, but I know when I’m planning a holiday I like to search and search for hours for our next trip. As an ex-travel agent of 7 years you’d think it’d be something I would be bored of but I’m not. Our trip to Mexico took a lot of careful planning before hitting book. We were spending a lot of money & I wanted to make sure that our only beach holiday of the year was going to be a good one. Whilst James & I are happy to head to any hotel and make the holiday the best it can possibly be, with somewhere like Mexico the choice is vast and we wanted it to be a little bit special if we were heading all that way. Eventually after weeks of deliberating we decided that the El Dorado Seaside Suites by Karisma, Mexico was the one for us. We booked through Thomson Holidays as there was a massive £400 saving & it meant we could experience the Thomson Dreamliner too.

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

Jacket C/O Vero Moda at Get the Label | Shirt H&M | Jumper H&M | Jeans New Look | Shoes Dorothy Perkins

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.
