Birthday Wishlist!

Clutch // Gilet // Cape // Hat // Shoe Boots // Boots // Eyeshadow Palette // Lipstick - Spanish Pink

It was my birthday on Tuesday so I arranged a wishlist post. I am currently lusting over these items and have been for some time, if only money had no limit.

On other really exciting news, I have just finished university and I am back living in very-cold-but-oh-so-beautiful Scotland. I also found a photographer to photography my looks which means I will be posting much more frequently and regularly which I am super excited about. I know it has been so long since my last blog post but stay tuned there will be more very very soon.

July Summary

I have decided to include my July beauty faves and some reading I have really enjoyed in the past month.

1. Mac Vegas Volt lipstick - I am a huge fan of Mac lipstick and I just love this coral shade, this shade is really different to anything I would usually wear.
2. Tom Ford Black Orchid EDP - I love Tom ford everything from his sunglasses to his make.up. He can do no wrong! This is my favourite all them perfume I just love it and I always get complimented when I wear it.
3. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ - I received this mini sample in this months Glamour and I have been using it ever since. I think I will have to buy it once I run out.
4. NIVEA Daily Essentials BB Cream 5 in 1 Beautifying Moisturiser Light - I have been wearing this BB cream instead of my foundation as it is a few shades darker than my foundation and much less heavier. Great for summer!
5. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - this is great for removing make up or just cleansing your face at the end of the day and at a great price.

Castle

These photos were taken at my local castle. Matthew and I visited at the weekend. I have this dress a few years now but hardly ever wear it. These sandals I got from Primark for my holidays, I feel they resemble the Isabel Marant Edris Bow Tie sandals that I want so bad.

I am currently doing a big clear out of my wardrobe as I recently moved back home, but will be moving back to Scotland at the end of the Summer, to finish uni. You can find all my items here, mail me if you are interest.

What I wore

Morocco - Marrakech

This post is going to be a little bit overloaded as there are just so many beautiful pictures to share of Marrakech. We flew in and out of Marrakech and so had more time there than anywhere else in Morocco.

The first and my favourite attraction we visited in Morocco was the Jardin Majorelle. We took the one bus from the square out to the gardens the bus driver told us when to get off which was lovely of him.

We also visited Palais de la Bahia which are located near the Saadian Tombs. There wasn't much signs to say which room was which or anything which was a little disappointing. It was really beautiful though.

We visited the Saadian Tombs.

And finally some photos taken randomly.

We spent two nights in Dar Ourika. This was my favourite place we stayed in Morocco due to our very helpful and friendly host. He organised our desert tour and provided us with a map highlighting the biggest attractions and his must see places in Marrakech. Our room was the cutest with towels folded into a swans at the end of the bed. There was a safe in our room also which was really handy. We had a beautiful breakfast the following morning.

Our final night we stayed in Riad Marrakech which is on the outskirts of the medina close to the square, ideal if you are arriving by taxi as you can be dropped right outside. However I do believe that the hotel has changed name to Riad Marrakech. The staff here were lovely they allowed us leave our bags after checkout while we toured around Marrakech. Our room was gorgeous with loads of space which looked onto the court garden and a huge bathroom and bath. Our double bed however was two single beds pushed together and presented as a double. We had our breakfast on the rooftop terrace which was beautiful, however one complaint was our breakfast, it was slow coming out and not brought out all together.

Morocco - Casablanca

 Everyone said we couldn’t go to Morocco and not visit Casablanca. We were both a little bit under the weather and tired when we were in Casablanca. We had only stayed one night in each city before moving on and our days were very jam packed. As a result we didn’t see much of Casablanca including touring the Hassan II mosque which is open to non-Muslims one of very few mosques in Morocco which is. This was a huge regret once we were faced with the gigantic architectural masterpiece.

  

We stayed in Hotel Astrid which was average. The room was clean with an en-suit bathroom. There was no breakfast included. I cannot comment on the location as I wasn’t in Casablanca long enough.

Morocco - Volubilis, Moulay Idriss & Meknes

We arrived in Meknes from Fez on the train at lunch time. We organised a half day tour well taxi really from our hotel to Volubilis and Moulay Idriss.

On arrival at Volubilis which is less than half an hour drive outside Meknes tour guides approached us offering their service, we declined however which Matthew soon regretted. For me (someone who isn't really that into history well certainly not history that isn't Irish) this was very inspiring. This was build in the 3rd century BC onwards by the romans.

On our way back to Meknes we stopped in Moulay Idriss. We had done little research on Moulay Idriss beforehand and due to little time there, we didn’t get to see the main attractions and as a result I don’t have any noteworthy pictures to share. A guide approached us but as we were so hungry and tired and unsure how much time we had we kindly declined.

Meknes on the other hand we truly enjoyed. Our sunset stroll around the imperial city was a welcoming break from the recent visited medinas. It was beautiful at this time of the night and the people from Meknes were very friendly. It was a great regret that we didn’t have more time in this city.

We stayed in Riad D'or we caught a taxi to the riad. We were dropped outside the medina and we had to take a short walk to the riad which was really well sign posted. The location of riad is ideal if you want to stay in the medina but also access the imperial part of the city as it is just a short walk. The riad organised us a half day taxi to Voulibis and Moulay Idriss for 400dh and we were picked up and dropped off at the medina. The breakfast the next morning was lovely, which included a selection of bread and pastries.  The views from the terraces were beautiful. There was so much rooftop space to lounge around on and if you searched real hard you would find the rooftop pool. The only downside to this riad was the fact our room didn’t lock and although nothing was stolen (we didn’t chance leaving valuables) I still felt a bit uneasy.
