TRAVEL TIPS | AUSTRALIAN FAVOURITES

 

I've been daydreaming about Australia a lot recently. I miss it so much and my heart is still outback bound. I thought I'd show you the places I have had the most happiest memories. Not only are these places beautiful but I also discovered them with amazing people, which helps. I could write a list of places you just HAVE to see when you go to Australia but, of course, everyone's opinion is different. But I would recommend going here and making them your own happy places.

 

 

Broome, WA - it's no secret that I am obsessed with sunsets, but this Broome sunset is extra special to me. Not only is it beautiful but, whilst watching the sky change colour, this was the moment I knew I had to travel the world. I remember thinking that I wanted to see the sun set in as many different countries as possible to see if they're as beautiful as this.

 

 

Coral Bay, WA - I have seen a lot of beaches in Australia but this was the first one to amaze me. Coral Bay is the smallest town next to the most beautiful beach. It has one small road with a hotel, pub and hostel and that's pretty much it. I spent my days here snorkelling to the reef from the beach and sunbathing on the perfectly white sand. The Ningaloo Reef is just as outstanding as the Great Barrier Reef but unknown as it's smaller. If anything, I preferred the Ningaloo Reef.

 

 

Coober Pedy, SA - I spent 7 months living in the outback and it will always have a special place in my heart. This is one of the weirdest places I have had the pleasure of seeing and I miss it so much. I lived underground, sold opals and got to see some beautiful sunsets and sunrises.

 

 

Streaky Bay, SA - I spent a long weekend here with some lovely new friends. It was a weekend of firsts, many highs and happy memories. Streaky Bay is a small town, but it's surrounded by lots of beaches and sand dunes. When I think of Streaky Bay, I will always think of the shabby beach hut and dancing in to the night.

 

 

Rainbow Beach, QLD - this was one of my first drunken nights in Australia as a backpacker. I had lots of beer, a walk on the beach at sunset and I caught my returning boomerang. The sand is full of colour and there is a beautiful Dreamtime Story to go with the town.

THIS ROAD LEADS WHERE YOUR HEART IS

Listening to: Red Lights by Tiesto

Wearing: Boots - River Island . Tights - Primark . Dress - Topshop . Jacket - Zara . Hat - Asos

Every now and then, it's good to treat yourself. I bought this gingham smock dress the other day and I absolutely love it. Although the fit isn't most flattering, I love the lazy look and feel of this dress.

At the minute, I'm only buying clothes that can be worn all year round. I think this will look great as the weather heats up, teamed with bare legs and gladiator sandels.

Beware: with this baggy dress and the windy weather, be prepared to flash the occasional stranger.

 

I'LL WALK THE STREETS OF LONDON, WHICH ONCE SEEMED ALL OUR OWN

Listening to: Sheila by Jamie T

 

Today is the day of love. I fall in love with places more then people, so it's no surprise that I'm single on Valentine's Day. I may be flying solo, but my day will be no less filled with love then any one else's.

 

I have been to many cities around the world but London, for me, is like no other. I love London with all my heart and I can't wait for the day that I move to my favourite city in the world. For now, I'm limited to day trips here and there and I have written a list of 5 things I want to do in London before the end of the year.

1. Ice Bar - I have wanted to go to the Ice Bar for as long as I can remember, but have never got round to it. This year, I will hopefully be celebrating my 24th birthday here and I can't wait.
2. Brick Lane - I am forever on Brick Lane eating in Indian restaurants. Curry is my favourite food, so it's the best place for me. This year, I want to make the time to go shopping on Brick Lane. I have been once, a good few years ago now, and absolutely loved it. I hope to go back and buy lots of vintage and second hand pieces for my wardrobe.
3. Buckingham Palace - I think the royal family are awesome and, since London 2012, my love has just continued to grow for them. As I love the Queen so much, it only seems right that I have a nose around her house.
4. Theatre - I am a huge fan of musicals and I have seen most of the shows in the West End. My favourites are The Lion King, We Will Rock You and The Woman in Black, although they're all too different to compare. A night spent at the theatre is my kind of evening.
5. Weekender - I love going out for a good meal and a few pints in London, but my nights are usually caught short with me rushing to get the last train back to Essex. I want to stay in London for a weekend so I can enjoy a good night out or two.
