Interrailing Tips: What I wish I had known!



As mentioned 1000 times already, this summer I spent just over a month travelling around Europe in the experience of a lifetime with my best friend. I pretty much got around everywhere on a train (apart from the odd ferry and flights there and back) and I bought a months Interrail (or Eurail) ticket

The Summer of a Lifetime


Dress: From shop in Portugal

This summer has been an absolute ongoing whirlwind of travelling to my hearts content. It's been manic, but I feel so amazed at all the places i've seen and everything i've achieved its such a blessing and I'm so grateful. So let me fill you in, you may already know from my last post that I went inter
railing for a month around Europe and I've now just returned from a 2 week holiday in Portugal! I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for me to relax after travelling but my inner explorer wanted to continue sight seeing and trying new experiences! Most days we went out on the boat and did water sports, had picnics on the boat out at sea and swam around in the ocean. One day we were  fortunate to see dolphins!! About 6 in total swam around our boat it was absolutely bloody amazing if i do say so myself! Magical, I have a video on my instagram @atelierofstyle if you wish to see it! :)

When I'm in different countries I love immersing myself in their culture and lifestyle, and this includes their style and fashion pieces. I picked up this dress in a shop in the town centre Lagos, I fell in love with the deep V cut at the front, but mainly the stunning low back with the delicate ties with beads on, as well as the flow of the fabric on the dress that rippled in the wind. I haven't seen many pieces like this and i've fallen in love with it. I hope you enjoy the pictures on this post as I was so pleased with the way they've come out! Also many thanks again to Georgia Ibberson my wonderful photographer without whom I wouldn't have been able to do this post!
