    HOW TO DECIDE WHERE TO GO ON HOLIDAY NEXT | QUEENBEADY

    Tulum QueenBeady

    Hi guys, not to depress you or anything but I’m heading on plane to Nice with University Rooms today. It’s somewhere I’ve long desired to travel to and it’s finally happening. But sometimes you can hit a brick wall when you come to decide where to go on holiday next. There’s an influx of resources available online and it can sometimes really bombard you. When I was in travel, I was frequently tasked with trying to find the holiday and destination for clients. Sometimes it was so easy, and others were pretty hard to please. But I always gave an imaginary, mini fist-bump when I did find something for them. I’ve put together a few tips of how you can help make that process a little bit easier and seem less of a chore!

    I make absolutely no apologies for the photo heavy post here. When you feelin’ good, you feelin’ good. Am I right? And that Saturday morning I was most certainly #werkingit. I’d gone to the effort of blow drying my hair till it was burnt to a singe ready for the Bloggers Brunch event in Leeds that day and I needed to look my best. After all, the blogging Goddess that is Hannah Gale was going to be there too. To complete my ensemble (seeing as the sun was shining gloriously that day too, well for all but 5 minute before I walked out the house) I knew it was time to deck myself out with a little, cheeky bardot top from New Looks Summer range and you can find this little sexual number here. But alas, as I walked to the bus stop (because I’m a super cool, bus wanker at the age of 26) the heavens opened, leaving me questioning my summery get-up.

    WHAT TO DO WHEN IT RAINS WHEN YOU’RE ON HOLIDAY | QUEENBEADY

    We spend all year saving for that special holiday and a huge percentage of why us Brits decide to go abroad is to escape the grim weather we have here in the UK. So what happens when it rains when you are on holiday? We stomp our feet, try do a “sunshine dance” and do that terribly British thing where we moan about things we can’t change. But, truth be told there is some beauty in amongst the madness and a little bit of rain won’t hurt anyone. Let’s face it, no-one wants to worry about whether it’s going to rain on holiday but why not have a bit of a back up plan, just in case? I’ve put a few tips together of how you can make the most of your time if it rains when you’re on holiday…

  • WHERE TO EAT, SLEEP & DRINK IN OSLO | QUEENBEADY

    WHERE TO EAT, SLEEP & DRINK IN OSLO | QUEENBEADY

    PRETZELS

    I’ve probably mentioned in my last two posts that Oslo is a pretty expensive place (soz bank account!) but, I have to say it is most definitely worth it if you manage to find cheap flights (HI RYANAIR ANSWERING ALL MY PRAYERS!) As it was a Christmas present for Mr C, all the planning was left to me & sometimes making decisions, ain’t my forte. Gulp. After reaching out to Sophie after her trip last year I set to booking everything and sometimes you look to other blogs for inspo. I wanted to create a quick guide to where to eat, sleep & drink in Oslo for you guys & hopefully if you decide to head over to the Scandi borders it might come in useful for you too.

    TREND WISHLIST: BLUE + WHITE | QUEENBEADY

    BLUE AND WHITE

    Striped Top | Hello Sailor Top | Sandals * | Beach Please Phone Case | Blue Dress * | Sunglasses | Blue + White Embroidered Top | Boyfriend Jeans | Off the Shoulder Top | Culottes
    If there’s one trend that is prominent for Summer ’16 is the hues of blue and crisp white. Reminiscent of the sunnier climates of Greece and their dome buildings, this trend is something that is quite clearly here to stay. I for one, am loving this season, it’s made me remove myself from my (not so) everlasting love with the colour black. It’s time to bring back a little bit of colour in to our lives and this is clearly the way to do it.
