Moschino Milano beach wear

Hello my lovelies!

Did I tell you I went to Barcelona last week!?

Things have been hectic the last few weeks travelwise as I have been to Italy, Spain and off to Denmark in a couple of weeks too!

Because of all these summer trips, I treated myself to some goodies from my favourite brand.  No these aren't press samples (I wish haha!) - I actually chose my towel to match my bikini.  A new low, or a new level of cool.  I think somewhere between!

I am soooo in love with the fuschia and yellow mix.  Actually, the bikini has a deep blue and lime green tie on the back which breaks it up a little.  Here is a link to the yellow Moschino bikini and it is actually now on sale too!  Not the most flattering of pictures below but this is the one which has the towel in it too.

Actually, the towel deserves a blog post to itself too! It is exttra large and so so thick. It looks great in reverse too witch fuschia pink as the dominant colour and with moschino in yellow. Here is a link to the moschino yellow beach towel,  as who else wants to match their bikini and towel haha!  It's a shame as these are from two different online retailers - I chose them in the shop so could tell they actually matched and went together.  I feel a tiny bit guilty for this splurge but I think it was totally worth it.  These ridiculous things make me happy!

I will try and find more snaps of this great Beach OOTD!

Enjoy!!

Lots of love, Fiocco xx

Beach life and time to relax

 I think it is so important to make time to relax.

Life can get so busy, not just work, but with play also....and so for me it is so important to take a minute to just breathe.  It can get easy to get swept away with the business of life, things to do, people to see that sometime you forget about spending time just enjoying the moment sand the scenery around you.

I don't think anywhere let's you relax better than at the beach. Apart from gentle swimming in the sea, on lying done and catching some sun (wearing SPF of course) - you really don't have to do anything at all except have some 'me' time.

It doesn't mean going somewhere exotic, but if there is a lovely weekend, why not go to the local beach or lake - if you can go somewhere exotic all the better!!  Enjoy lots of water there, and of course cold fresh fruit and enjoy the stillness and nature of the surroundings around you.

Below are a couple of snaps from my favourite place to relax in the world - Gabicce Mare in Italy where I used to live.

Where is your relaxing hideout?

(Gotta put a call out for my favourite Moschino polka dot bikini ever!)

The Tourist

Morning!

Here are a few more gorgeous snaps of the beauty that is the Amalfi Coast.  This is somwhere inbetween Amalfi and Positano as we were driving along the long winding panormaic road which joins the two.

As we were driving, here's another super comfortable beach / driving outfit.  I've got on some red beach shorts by Moschino (they kind of remind me of high school musical) and a white crochet sleeveless stop from TopShop.  All paired with some Chanel oversized glasses.

These sorts of shorts are way more comfy than denim ones in the heat as they are so light weights and stretchy.  Sometimes sitting in the car for a long time in denim shorts really is uncomfortable when it's over 30 degrees outside.

That's it for now!

Lot's of love!

Fun at the beach

Hello Dolls, 

Here are just a couple of holiday snaps from the beach.  There's no place that I love more in this world than this beach.  The water is crystal clear and so calm.  Best of all theres no sand - I get it every where!

Really simple casual beach outfit:  Denim shorts, rolled up Jack Wills oversized tshirt and my good old trusty Chanel sunnies!

Its  always best to wear things to the beach that you don't mind getting a bit dirty and second of all, that are light and breezy and  not a pain to put on on top of a wet costume!

Feeling Pink

If you think London's scorching, here on the Adriatic coast it's absolutely volcanic.  Here's some pictures from the shade as it really was too hot to handle!

I've gone for pinks and blues - with a mixture of highstreet and designer.  On the top half its a pink Guess tank top - I splashed out on this as I really loved the colour and fit and will definitely get lots of wear this summer.  On the bottom half, again those old denim shorts and blue leather flip flops from Gap.  Seriously comfy - I can't get enough of them!

And for the accessories -

• New Moschino wallet!  I'm absolutely in love with it, especially because it was made in the city where I'm staying!  I also got a few other pieces which you'll see in upcoming posts!!
• Dower & Hall Nugget bracelet 

Beach makeup and accessories

Its hard to go the beach utterly makeup free, especially when you're used to putting it on every day.  I for one, can't quite hack it.  I feel completely nude without macara on!

Here are my beach makeup essentials:

Dior Show waterpoof mascara - nothing but nothing will make this mascara smudge! (speaking of which to remove it the only thing that works for me is this Garnier 2in1 makeup remover.

Lord & Berry smudgeproof eyeliner pencil in smoke - I'm crazy about  this - not only is the dark grey a beautiful shade, but it stays all day - even in the sea. (Available from ASOS.)

Accessories:

Absolute essentials are -
Chanel Sun glasses - impossible to go out of fashion
Nomad nugget bracelet perfect for the beach look by Dower & Hall
