España

A trip taken about a month ago now but only just had the time to blog about it. Travelled with my Mum and Brother to visit my Grandma Madge and spent 3 days in the beautiful city of Granada. After studying 16th century Spain for my history A level, I was vaguely aware of the impact of Granada and the Alhambra but no text book compares to the real thing. The decor and architecture has been so well preserved, and the layout is so spacious and cleverly planned it's amazing to think this "Red Palace" has been standing there for centuries.
I'm a huge fan of cobbled streets and hidden passage ways, a true explorer at heart, and was pleasantly surprised to discover the city of Cartegena not far from my grandma's house in the La Manga Club. Again another historical city, boasting to be the place where Hannibal landed with the elephants from Africa to attack the Romans in 212-270BC (luckily my brother is a history geek to help brush up on my historic knowledge). Anyway, the town is a stunner, with marble outdoor flooring and Parisian styled white decorative buildings. A definite hidden gem.

After being given the news that I was confirmed to shoot for Saint Laurent Paris and getting over my state of shock, I travelled back on the Eurostar to Paris. I stayed at Hotel Annexe near Republique and spent my days working at Le Grand Palais for the Saint Laurent Paris showroom. The clothes were all so chic in the typical Parisian palette of black and white. It wasn't the most exciting of jobs but it was definitely interesting and an experience I won't forget.

A 2 hour casting in Paris meant I had some spare time to visit some local hot spots. The architecture and the Parisian culture is insane, I don't think I've ever visited such a beautiful city. The streets seem very spacious and the buildings are so grand, I'm not surprised it's the most romantic city on the earth.

took a very spontaneous holiday to Corfu with my best friend for a week. It was my first time visiting a Greek island and was instantly inspired by their run down architecture providing great character to the streets and also by the incredible landscapes and cuisine. Since I've returned I've been living off Greek salad and finding any excuse to wear my greek inspired sandals.
