What I Wore in Puglia

09/05/17 ᛫ 10 Comments

Ok guys, you spoke and I listened. During my time in Puglia I had a lot of questions about what I was wearing and a few of you even requested a ‘what I wore’ post. It’s a bit of a blog post departure for me, but I thought I’d try something new. So whilst my upcoming blogs will share the travel highlights, this first post is all about what I wore in Puglia. I’ve made this post entirely shoppable, so if anything catches your eye you can follow the links and snap the pieces up for your own summer adventures. Browse and enjoy!

The Stylish Explorer Look

Puglia is full of quaint Italian towns that are just waiting to be explored. I chose this outfit as it is stylish yet fairly conservative. I felt really comfortable in this black wrap dress from River Island and the panama hat added an extra touch of style. I chose to use my black leather backpack so I could keep my hands free for taking lots of photos. The gold sandals are really comfy and gave an air of ‘Grecian Goddess’.

The Riviera Chic Look

For our day trip to the coastal town of Monopoli I wanted an outfit that oozed Riviera style. I found this white ruffle top in Bershka and paired it with a pair of high waisted culottes from Zara. My Oliver Bonas bag added a pop of colour and I finished the look off with the same fedora hat.

The Perfect Maxi Dress

This stylish maxi dress is perfect to wear by the pool or during a day trip. The horizonal strips are slimming and I love the cross back detailing. It’s stretchy, and comfortable and looks much more expensive than it actually is!

My Essential Poolside Pieces

My new poolside pieces are mostly part of a large Acccessorize haul that I did before my trip to Puglia. Here are my favourite looks 

The Marylin Monroe Swimsuit

This white swimsuit is incredibly flattering, especially for girls who feel self-conscious about big boobs. It has inbuilt cups in the swimsuit and ties around the neck. It perfectly combines glamour and comfort and I felt great in it around the pool.

The Crochet Pink Bikini

I love this pink crochet bikini from Accessorize. The colour looks great against a tan and this bikini cut will definitely be in style this summer. If pink isn’t your colour, it also comes in white!

Embroidered Beach Shorts

If kaftans aren’t for you, you’ll love these embroidered shorts. They look great poolside and can also be paired with tops for a stylish day look. I wore them with a white Bardot top with flute sleeves as well as around the pool. They’re high waisted so nip you in for a flattering silhouette.

The Neon Pom Pom Kaftan

This has to be the comfiest kaftan I’ve ever worn. The under-bust tie also makes it incredibly flattering, and it’s bang on trend with the lime green pom pom fringing.

The Embroidered Kaftan

The embroidered detailing on this kaftan is gorgeous and the drop waist tie helps to give a flattering shape. It’s great for lazing by the pool and leisurely lunches in the sun.

The Aztec Swimsuit

This Aztec swimsuit added a splash of character to my fairly neural (and predominantly white!) Puglia wardrobe. The swimsuit has a gorgeous cross back detail and also has cups in the bust for a flattering look.

I had too many words about 2022 for a caption, so I’ve put them all into a blog post. 

My “2022 year in review” is live on The Travelista. It’s a longer, personal blog post about lessons, learnings, achievements and travels from year just gone, as well as my hopes and goals for 2023. I’ve put a link on stories for anyone interested. 😊

I’m finding a new rhythm for travelling with (and sometimes without) a little one and can’t wait for what’s to come in 2023.

Whether you’re new here or you’ve followed my journey for years, thank you so much for being here, for every like, comment and share. It is this amazing, supportive and loyal community that has enabled me to quit my job this year and return to doing this full time again post Covid.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours ♥️.
Before I sign off for a little Christmas social me Before I sign off for a little Christmas social media break, here’s a festive photo dump of the past week + sharing my favourite poem🕯🎄🥂

Featuring 

➕ A lunch to @bettys with the girls. Making a new tradition. 
➕ A family visit to @castle_howard for their spectacular #IntotheWoods Christmas experience. Phenomenal. We go every year and it just gets better and better.
➕ Carols by candlelight at our local church - magic - but so many layers because the heating was broken!
➕ Dust if you Must by Rose Milligan. The perfect tonic in the (potentially stressful) build up to Christmas. 

We are hosting family this year and I’m excited! I’d love my house to look like a festive show home but it doesn’t, and that’s ok. (I have a 4 year old making mess twice as fast as I can tidy it). 

Fellow hosts, don’t be so busy ‘dusting’ that you miss all the little moments of magic! I’m reminding myself of this too. Swipe to read the poem and you’ll get it. ♥️

Wishing you a perfectly imperfect Christmas 🎄 

Love Jess x

We are all feeling the pinch this year with the rising cost of living, so I set myself a challenge to find gifts for under £30. By shopping at outlets like Junction 32, which has over 80 brands offering up to 60% off the retail price, your money truly does go so much further. ♥️

What gifts I bought;

✔️ Slippers from @radleylondon RRP £40 J32 Price £20
✔️Himalayam charcoal gift set from @thebodyshop RRP £36.00 J32 Price £29.50
✔️Wax cheese wheels from independent retailer @themousehouse_lincoln £3 for £16
✔️Children’s cutlery set from @procookuk RRP £10 J32 Price £7

As usual J32 had some brilliant items on offer and a huge amount of choice, even this far into December.

Have you got any last minute Christmas shopping to do? I think I am finally done! 🛍
