#64 A Family Trip to Argegno

As many of you may know, particularly if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, I recently went away with my family for two weeks to Argegno, Italy. As I had a job whilst at university I didn't manage to come home for long periods of time so I hadn't been able to spend loads of time with them in one go until now. It was such a lovely holiday and (as you can see) the views were incredible, wherever you went on the lake (Lake Como) the views took your breath away.

As well as exploring what the lake had to offer we also took at trip to Switzerland one day which was nice. We hired a speedboat on one of the nicer days (the weather was a bit temperamental - a lot like England really!) and had a sneak peak at one of George Clooney's so say holiday homes. As well as the speedboat we also hired out a peddle boat one day, as lets face it, nothing beats watching your mum panic that she's going to fall into the water whilst your brother manically pedals away! On our final day we went for a short walk and came across a bunker and some trenches. I am fascinated by all things war related so was in my element there!

The sights do not stop at the lovely scenery, the food was also divine. Eating out is definitely one of my family's favourite things to do whilst on holiday. Of course, you can't go to Italy and not consumer multiple pizzas and ice cream now can you? Although I ate a lot of pizza I'm not an overly big lover of ice cream so didn't have too much of the stuff. Also Italian hot chocolates are on another level completely. I'm usually a tea of coffee kind of gal but on our first afternoon I was craving hot chocolate so that's what I asked for - what I received was not what I was expecting! It was SO thick, literally like melted chocolate with bits of chocolate in it... Although it was nice, it was a little too chocolately for my liking (I'm a savoury girl at heart).

So there you have it! I also posted some OOTD/N's whilst I was away so if you haven't seen them yet continue scrolling down and you'll come across them.

I hope you're having a lovely weekend so far,

Hello! 

I have now returned from Italy and am back in the cold, gloomy thing that is England. I literally had the most amazing time away with my family, but more on that another time.  This is the final outfit I had photos of so thought I'd share it with y'all. I've lost track of what day is what as I didn't have photos of my outfit for every day, so let's just forget about all that haha. I am literally loving my mom jeans at the moment (as you've probably noticed!) They are so comfy and I love how they can be dressed up or down. I think I might do a post on how I style mom jeans soon but we'll see! 

I am off to a small festival this weekend so next week look out for a couple more lifestyle posts next week, amongst many more! 

Until next time,

Hello guys and gals! 

I'm half way through my time in Argegno and it's flying past way too quickly for my liking. You may have noticed that I've skipped from Day 4 to Day 8 with the OOTDs, it's simply because I didn't get any good pictures so I'm skipping ahead a bit - you're not missing out on anything too exciting though so don't worry!

Necklace | Stall in France

We've just popped back to the apartment for a bit so thought I'd share what I am wearing today but a post featuring what I wear this evening is due to follow tomorrow.

My straighteners also don't work here so it's killing me not being able to curl my short locks *cry cry*. On the plus side I managed to pick up a new foundation and am planning the review post already, so look out for that one!

#55 Italy, Argegno | OOTD Arrival & Day 1

I arrived in Argegno yesterday evening and it is so pretty! The views are amazing but the weather is a little temperamental, although living in England that's something I'm used to. I'm going to do a big post all about my time here once I'm back, but whilst I'm here I thought I'd share some outfits/make up looks with you all. Being a stupid idiot I managed to leave my foundation at home *cry cry* I usually pack more than one but the one time I decide to pack just the one I forget completely. So I'm desperately hoping to find my way to a well stocked pharmacy soon! Anyway, onto the outfits! 

I wasn't sure what the weather would be like when we arrived in Milan so I opted for my Topshop Joni jeans, a Topshop cami (in black), a Matalan jumper, my ASOS shoes, River Island hat and Urban Outfitters bag. I also had a large bag full of all the stuff that wouldn't fit in my suitcase! 

It was quite chilly in the evening so I chose my Topshop Mom jeans, a River Island crop top and hat, H&M belt, ASOS shoes and Urban Outfitters bag. I also brought a warm cardi with me for when the cold got too much. 

Today the sun was out and it was really warm, so I opted for this pretty H&M dress, New Look sandals, M&S kimono, Urban Outfitters sunglasses and the standard RI hat and UO bag (they are bound to make countless appearances!)

#6 France: Day 1

BONJOUR! 

I have arrived at my destination (Agde, the South of France) and I already feel drained by the heat! As we managed to get the internet working, I thought that whilst I had a spare bit of time I would fill you in on the recent events in the life of Becmo! Being away I wasn't expecting to get the chance to blog that much, but if anything I think that I will in fact have more spare time!

All ready for the airport 

To begin with here are some pictures taken from at airport...

AMAZING giant biscuits myself and Doug found in Costa this morning. They were so tempting! I had to resist though as I had already been naughty and polished off THREE hash browns from McDonald's oopsie! 

I am VERY fussy when it comes to sandwiches, especially ones sold in shops. So I had to make sure that I had a snack I would enjoy on the plane as I cannot stand foreign sandwiches ew. 

Whilst at the airport we I stumbled across a pair of sunglasses in Accessorize that I really liked. Originally they were £15 which isn’t extravagant for sunglasses as some people pay hundreds for a good pair. For a girl as clumsy as me however £15 is pushing it a bit. They were in the sale though so I thought, why not? I was expecting to pay around £5 but when I got to the till they were only £3, what a bargain! 

I think that I slept through most of the flight and pretty much the whole drive to our apartment. I am still feeling soooo tired! Obviously the sun isn’t helping but in no way am I complaining, the sunshine is beautiful. 

The town that we are staying in is very traditional and really reflects French culture and architecture well. 

The front door to our apartment

Once we arrived and carried our suitcases up the tightest, windiest staircase imaginable we went out to lunch in a local cafe. We all indulged in a salad of our choosing which I have to say was delicious, and as we are on holiday we cracked out the wine. For pudding myself, my mum and my dad went for a cafe gourmand style dessert. We weren’t too sure what they pastry style dessert was but it was very very nice! My brother however had to show us all up with his mountainous coffee/ice cream combo. 

Afternoon wine

After we had eaten we went for a stroll around the local town. I really like the traditional buildings that make up Agde. I am sure that I will go a little bit crazy with the photos and take a little too many of buildings but I just can’t help myself! There are a lot of small shops dotted around too which are nice to look in. Although what I am really excited for is to go to some markets whilst we are here. I am a huge fan of markets (the jewelry stalls in particular) especially in foreign countries.

Some amazing street art on the front of a closed shop door. I REALLY like this, it think it's so pretty!

I quite like the apartment that we are staying in. It has two large doors that open out onto a balcony that overlooks the town and it is quite spacious. Although I am a little annoyed about the fact that it stated in its description that there would be a hairdryer here and there isn’t. Neither me or my mum brought one and I don’t think it’s fair on the poor people of Agde for me to brave my natural hair! 

I also feel like we have a fifth family member here in the apartment... There is a cardboard cut out of a woman in a bikini under the stairs and she keeps catching me eye and every time I mistake her for a real person! Doug keeps doing it too and it makes us jump so much! 

The scary cardboard cut out that keeps scaring the life out of me and Doug! 

I really should go and unpack but unpacking is one of those tedious things I hate doing. I quite enjoying packing but when it comes to unpacking I’m really not a fan. 

Anyway, that is all for today! I should probably have a shower and start getting ready to go out in a bit!
