Local Beauty

I feel very lucky that I live near some truly beautiful places. The other week I went along to an old favourite, Layde Bay in Clevedon which is one of the prettiest beaches in the surrounding area. Initially the plan was just to go for a bit of a walk, but as we found this platform and the weather was being kind Ben and I thought we’d snap some outfit photos too (next time we might actually make it on to the beach!)

Dress: c/o Jarlo London a few summers ago | Sandals c/o George at Asda

This dress is one of my favourites for the summer months and has been worn more times than I can recall since it first fell in to my hands a few years ago. The little sail boat print on it is so sweet, and combined with the mint green shade puts a feminine twist on my beloved nautical vibes.

I admit I let Jarlo London fall off my radar for a year or so, but having just taken a look at their current collection they taken themselves down the occasion-wear route and produced some truly stunning pieces, I’ve never seen so many beautiful maxi dresses in one place!

Usually I’d team this dress with my Converse, but as they are literally falling apart I thought I’d change things up a bit and went for these sandals from George at Asda. I’ve been really lucky with sandals this year as every pair that’s come in to my possession has been really comfortable- there’s nothing worse than owning lots of lovely shoes but not daring wear them for fear of discomfort after only half an hour!
Do you live near any local beauty spots?
