Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside, I do like to be beside the sea 🙂
Happy holidays… I left the hustle and bustle of London for a week with my family.
Heading to the north west coast to my lovely native town, Lytham St Annes, I swapped the bright lights for big pastels and stripes… and I discovered the dreamy and colourful St Annes Beach Huts.
Fashion: Pink Straw Fedora Hat; & Other Stories, Grey & Silver Lips Sequin Top; H&M, Black & White Striped Trousers in a Textured Weave; also H&M (and on sale now too!) and my Black Platform WEMER Lace Up Oxford shoes; Jessica Buurman.
I absolutely adore this pink straw hat by & Other Stories for it’s beautiful, bold colours – guaranteed to add character to every outfit – and the perfect cover-up for hot summer days.
Adding to my beach-chic look, I teamed this super cute – and very Mark Lupfer inspired – sequin lips tee with these nautical and ever so nice striped trousers, both from H&M.
It’s funny really, as I was born and raised in Lytham St Annes and it’s only when I moved to London that I really started to appreciate it just that little bit more. It’s beauty, it’s simplicity, the slower-pace lifestyle, topped with the fresh sea air, idyllic scenery and the cheeky cheeriness of the northerners 😉 – it’s magical. I do feel blessed that I get to experience the best of both worlds…
When I go home, I love to find out about new things that’s happening in the town. This time, I discovered these little gems, the St Annes Beach Huts. Whether you’re celebrating a family trip, a couple’s retreat or a sunshine day out with the girls, these fully kitted huts are awesome and fab for all seaside adventures.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the sound of the waves as you watch the sunset over the sea… *Bliss*
British summertime rules.
