Iceland: Adventure List
Soooooo me being all quiet on you isn't because I've been slacking it is because I have been on some new adventures. The first one I'm going to tell you about is the beautiful Iceland!
First up everyone thinks to go to Iceland you need to spend an arm and leg, but what if I told you that I went for 5 days and spent a grand total of.... £600!! Yes £600, that included my flights, hotel, transfers, spending money and excursions. So carry on reading for all my helpful tips and printers. But the basic start up is for amazing cheap package deal look at British Airways city breaks and you're on your way.
Okay so most importantly is the...tours. Literally there is something to do for everyone so research before about what tours are available and what would interest you. I'd recommend booking online before hand as many tours get fully booked! Also look around online for the best prices and deals, as some operators include hotel transport pick up to the excursion.
One thing to remember is that Iceland has very little sunlight however during the winter it is even less than normal at roughly 4-5 hours per day! So check beforehand depending on what time of year you are visiting as to when sunrise and sunset is. This may then affect your tours if you wanted to do certain things during daylight.
Whilst I was in Iceland I only managed to do 3 tours (I wish I could have gone whale watching but during the winter there is very little chance of seeing them...sad face)
Blue lagoon - the most picturesque beautiful place! A handy tip for you, pack your own towel to save you money. Also a waterproof phone case or go pro is a must to capture all those amazing moments
Golden circle tour - highly recommend if you want to see the incredible scenery and nature at it's finest! Includes crossing no mans land between the North American and Eurasian tectonic places as well as a visit to Gulfloss waterfall.
Northern lights - the HIGHLIGHT of my trip and major tick off my bucket list! Absolutely amazing, if you go to Iceland this tour is a must. A little handy tip however you cannot capture a picture of the lights on your normal phone camera so download the "The Northern Lights Photo Taker" app, so worth the 90p
Sight seeing:
-Harpa concert hall building is really modern and looks so pretty with all the lights outside
-Walk along the harbour to see the beautiful landscapes and the Sunvogar statue
- Hallgrimskirkja Church - I'd recommend paying the couple of pounds just to climb up the bell as tower as you honestly get the most spectacular views of Reyjkavik from the top.
Handy tips:
- Clothing....layers, layers, layers! Seriously quick little trip to Primark for some thermals, vests and leggings and you are good to go.
- Find a BONUS store for cheap snacks and drinks (Iceland's version of a Lidl/Aldi)
- Ice Mart is the best souvenir shops for all your Iceland keepsakes, such a wide variety at good prices
- REMINDER - don't forget EU adaptor (I stupidly forgot mine and it cost me £15 to buy one out there)
Reyjkavik is known for being expensive when it comes to to food and drink, however here are few of the restaurants I'd recommend:
- tap water is drinkable so keep refilling your bottle
- visit Reyjkavik chips for a really cool yummy chip shop
- Pizzeria for delicious pizzas (get a large to share works out cheaper)
- Sky bar at Centre Hotel Anarhvoll, dinner with a view of the Harpa
- Piccolo Italia, my personal favourite! Such a soulful restaurant, very cute with yummy food at great prices
- look at restaurants down the side streets rather than the main high street as they tend to be cheaper
- Chuck Norris
- Meze
- Uno
- Rok
Hope this helps you all! This trip was definitely one of the most incredible places I have been to. I seriously cannot wait to book another adventure back out here, hopefully this time during summer so I can see the whales.

Victoria Secrets Show 2016
If this isn't motivation to get my bum back down the gym and eat healthy I don't know what is. Look how amazing they look!!!
I'm Back!
Hey everyone!
Sorry I’ve been so non existence recently but do not fear I am back. I’ve had an extremely manic 7 weeks, a lot going on at work and quite a crazy time on the home personal side of life. However I do hope you’re all well and mega excited for Christmas. I can’t wait to share with you all my Christmas adventures and antics as well as what my goals are for 2017. So much to look forward to and a fresh start for everyone.
Love Sara xoxo

Vera Wang Spring 2017
One of my favourite collections this season so far purely because I love pearls so much!
Carolina Herrera Spring 2017
Vertical stripes create an illusion of more height but I also think they are very chich and sophisticated 
Self-Portrait Spring 2017
Laser cut always add a 3D effect giving the illusion of volume to a fabric. Also a great way to add texture to a look.

30 Before 30
Watching the Olympics the other day and I realised next time the Olympics is on I'll be 28...PANIC MODE PANIC MODE! That's two years away from 30! It got me thinking (okay panicking) about all the things I am yet to achieve in my life. So I decided to make my own '30 before 30' list...sounds easy enough right? Wrong. This was much harder than I thought it would be. I started looking at other people's lists but majority were very generic. Many were just lists of places to visits but I have a separate travel bucket list. Another thing which made it harder was that I am in a lucky enough position where I have completed a lot of things already in my life time. Skydive. Done. Uni degree. Done. Fly alone. Done. Get a tattoo. Done. Travel for months. Done. The list goes on and on however in the end I manage to come up with my own personal goals before I'm 30
1. Buy my own house
2. Get married
3. Have a child
4. Visit 50 different countries (currently on no 29)
5. Work in the fashion industry in a job role I enjoy
6. Lead a healthy life style
7. Learn to cook properly
8. Learn another language
9. Learn to scuba dive
10. Attend a footwear design/making course
11. Become a regular jogger
12. Create an online business on the side
13. Be financial stable with an emergency side fund
14. Complete 3 peaks challenge
15. Complete my Vogue magazine collection
16. Go on a hot air ballon ride
17. Get a new car
18. Invest in stocks and shares (probs should learn about them first)
19. US road trip
20. Safari in Africa
21. Go zorbing
22. Bury a time capsule
23. Buy my childhood dream handbag, Chanel 2.55
24. Because I'm a massive Harry Potter geek, visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida
25. Learn to ski & go on a skiing holiday
26. Go on a helicopter ride
27. Go on a cruise
28. Become a creative baker
29. Ride a Segway
30. Have my own walk in wardrobe/dressing room

Poorly Bunny
Well if you want to lose weight whilst living on an ice cream diet then I have the perfect plan for you....get your tonsils taken out! It does sounds like a dream 'get skinny eat ice cream' but truthfully it hurts like hell. Hence why I have been so bad at posting to you all. I have been begging my doctor for years on end to have them taken out after suffering so badly on and off with tonsillitis and thankfully he finally gave in. It was a mixed emotion of relief that I would never had tonsillitis again but at the same time the pain from the operation is not something I'd even wish on my worst enemy. I'm finally on the mend but it was not the most pleasant couple weeks of my life.

Dream Catcher
Sorry I've been so quiet recently I've been catching dreams! Well not quite literally more like me chasing after my dreams in terms of a career. As you all know I graduated University with a degree in Fashion Textiles specialising in printed fabrics for Fashion. Though me being typical old me chose the route of 'I want to see the world before I get settled into my career', and believe me I have loved every single second of it. Although I haven't seen all of the world yet the other week there is still plenty of more time for that. However last week as I stared gormlessly at my work computer screen I had an epiphany. I'm 24 and currently spending the majority of my week inside an office doing a job that doesn't excite me or help me grow as a person and enable learn new things. You only get one life so why was I wasting the majority of it doing something I don't particularly enjoy. And so it began...the job hunt! The past two weeks it has pretty much taken over my life. Application after application, cv after cv and the countless cover letter edits. As of it yet nothing has come of it but fingers crossed! So yes everyone that is why I haven't been able to keep in contact though keep your eyes open for my tips next week about applying for you dream job.
