Weekend Getaway: Marbella

This weekend break was much needed, and this special reunion even more! My friend and I went to visit a friend who recently moved to Marbella... It was very exciting to see these two again after quite a while and the location made the reunion perfect! Marbella is BEAUTIFUL!😍 All the flower decorated and colourful houses, the little alley ways, the beach and the mountains in the same place and not to forget the weather! When I feel sun on my skin, that's really all I need. At some point in my life I'll move to a country where winter is a minimum of 10 degrees, lol. I won't accept anything colder than that, haha. It was just a short weekend trip but it was well worth it. If you're looking for a short time-out, go for it! Honestly, you can get some really cheap offers on flights if you keep your eyes open or book early enough. Btw, traveling there from London, I felt like everything was so cheap!😳 The food, drinks and even the shops. We hired a little Fiat500 to be more flexible to drive down to Malaga as well for some sightseeing, shopping and try some traditional dishes.🚗🍜🍷👛 We've had a nice paella, tapas and some amazing wine, what else can you wish for? Holidays are really about relaxing and just not thinking about home and work and even if it's only for some days, you'll feel refreshed to start your new week. I encourage everyone who likes to travel to do it as long as you can, no one can take away these experiences from you and traveling makes you overcome fears and grow as a person.😌🙏 
To give you guys a little impression of Marbella, I picked some nice pictures, and maybe they inspire you to take your next trip there.🌺 

Love, Drea

Layers on layers on layers!


My favourite thing to do in winter is layering! That favourite dress of yours that you think you can't wear in winter is now ready to be taken out the wardrobe again girl. Thanks to layering everything is possible! Autumn is a difficult season as you never really know what to wear. Just yesterday I was on the tube wearing my new padded jacket for colder days and it was wayyy too hot. The next day I thought I'm not doing the same mistake twice, so I threw on my good old leather jacket, which is not too warm but still good for this kind of weather. As soon as I left the house I felt cold, lol, typical. It's like leaving your umbrella at home because it hasn't rained for days, and then it suddenly starts raining. Anyways, that's where layering is very helpful - put on one more layer just in case it gets cold and if you're too warm, just take it off. 

Here are 3 quick tips for you on how to layer:

1. Style
Choose your favourite style to layer first. It's not it's not only about knits, you can layer a chic blouse with a cardigan, a dress with a sweater or simply a fur gilet that can be thrown over your leather jacket to keep you warm.

2. Texture
What I like the most about layering is the texture of the fabric. There are so many different ones and it keeps the outfit interesting. Make sure that the clothes you want to layer are not heavy knits, it'll make it difficult to layer and still look stylish. Knit layers should be light and easy to throw on.

3. Material
Knitwear is an essential in winter and therefore you shouldn't be stingy about it. Cheap materials can be itchy on your skin, look worn out after the first couple washings and just don't keep you as warm as expected. Invest in knits!
