  • DINNER AT LA ROTONDE, NEGRESCO HOTEL NICE | QUEENBEADY

    DINNER AT LA ROTONDE, NEGRESCO HOTEL NICE | QUEENBEADY

    IMG_1507

    Imagine all your wildest, childhood dreams mixed with the finest food you would possibly ever taste. Stop. You’ve just imagined the La Rotonde at The Negresco Hotel, Nice. This little slice of wonder is situated on Nice’s seafront promenade with gorgeous views out to sea. One of two restaurants at the Negresco Hotel (which I might add does divine cocktails and definitely worth a splurge one night to experience the place) the La Rotonde is set out like a fairground carousel, complete even with carousel horses. Did I just enter Disneyland on the South of France?

    COME WITH ME TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC VLOG | QUEENBEADY

    Wow, I can’t quite believe that’s it’s nearly two months since we were sunning ourselves on the rather hot Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic. I was lucky enough to work with icelolly.com on this trip (so, a massive thanks to them!) and I had so much fun filming our week away. We didn’t really get up to too much, so apologies for the significant beach and pool shots. So I really hope you click “read more” and watch my super short vlog from our trip away…

    #STATIONSTYLE WITH VIRGIN TRAINS EAST COAST | QUEENBEADY

    If there’s two passions in my life, it’s fashion and travel. Combine the two and imagine the element I would be in. Well, that happened. Yes it did. Can you see my little face sat behind this laptop now? Yes, I’m grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Mid September I collab’ed with Virgin Trains East Coast  and Pretty Little Thing to find the “most stylist traveller” at Leeds Train Station. Boy, was it exciting. Virgin East Coast offer a wide range of UK destinations on their train journey’s and the prices are pretty phenomenal too. I’m already planning a trip to Edinburgh or London to take advantage of their direct routes from Leeds.

    LONG HAUL BEACH SIDE ESSENTIALS | QUEENBEADY

    Some of you may (or may not!) know that I like a holiday (or ten!) a year. I’ve always been obsessed with Travel since I was a little girl but my lust grew for it when I became a Travel Agent, ten years ago (dear God, help me, how was that ten years ago?) I’ve just returned from the Dominican Republic with Ice Lolly and it was one of those holiday spent solely on the beach, because quite frankly, it was time for us to chill out and that is exactly what we did.  But a holiday like this requires a carefully prepared beach bag with all the essentials.

  • PREPPING FOR A LONG HAUL FLIGHT | QUEENBEADY

    PREPPING FOR A LONG HAUL FLIGHT | QUEENBEADY

    Tulum Beach View

    I’ve made no secret of the fact that I am flying to the Caribbean again this weekend. Not because it’s a humble brag but because I am so unbelievably ready for a week away to rejuvenate. I do not want to think of targets, deadlines or anything else for that matter except what cocktails I should be drinking from the extensive menu at the hotel. It’s a long flight, between 9-10 hours and whilst we have the luxury of travelling on the Dreamliner again, like we did to Mexico, you can never be too over-prepared for a long haul flight. I wanted to share a quick, handy guide of how you can get ready for a long haul flight.
