Race day...

In a little over a week, I'll be heading on my annual work summer outing to York Racecourse so, as always, outfit planning is at the top of my agenda.

The races can often be challenging to dress for, but it's important to go with something classic. This year I'll be opting for a midi dress/skirt or a smart trouser, silk cami combo and, as there are so many options, I wanted to share my top races-friendly pieces for this season.

& Other Stories recently opened the brand-new Manchester store and I absolutely LOVE it. There are a number beaut pieces in, perfect for race day, my favourites being the two red midi dresses.

Elsewhere on the high street, Missguided, River Island and Topshop have some stunning pieces in, and below is an overview of my top ten races picks for spring/summer 2016:

Bikini season...

My summer holiday is finally booked and what a trip I have planned. I'll be heading to Miami in August followed by one of my favourite places in the world, Toronto.

So, I have already started working on my bikini bod, and of course planning my wardrobe - starting with my beach/pool looks.

Pool parties will be all about high-waisted bikinis, so I have already started to pin some ideas over on my Pinterest, and below are a few highlights.

There are some incredible bikinis to choose from on the high street and online too, with ASOS, Missguided, River Island, H&M, and Triangl, having the best by far. 

Missguided in particular has some beaut one pieces, while ASOS has some amazing high-waisted numbers. 

I'm also loving Triangl's mismatch looks, all of which will look stunning with that summer glow we all know and love. 

For bright colours, Triangl is the place to go and for anything monochrome head to Missguided, H&M, ASOS or River Island.

Below are the best bikinis I've found this season...

Holiday blues...

I have been back from Canada for almost two weeks now, and I have a major dose of the holiday blues.

The country is one of the most amazing and beautiful places I have ever visited, and I was lucky enough to experience so many parts of it.

From Toronto to Niagara Falls, and even Ottawa, I saw some amazing sites and made lots of unforgettable memories.

My favourite moment was of course witnessing Toronto Blue Jays score a 'grand slam' during their game against Detroit Tigers - something which has definitely given me a newfound love for baseball.

Additional highlights do of course include purchasing my holiday wardrobe and, doing a whole lot of shopping during my trip - so I thought I would pull together some of my outfit highlights.

The main bulk of my wardrobe was of course from Topshop however, I did also get a few trusty pieces from Zara, Brandy Melville, H&M and Urban Outfitters, with shoes from Birkenstock, Office and River Island.

Here are some of favourite looks from the holiday...
