Favourite Summer Looks

So this Summer I was very very lucky in that I got to travel to three different cities; Beijing, Dubai and Casablanca. And this meant that I got to wear a lot of clothes that I wouldn't be able to wear back home in Ireland (boo rain!)- here are my top 3 favourite outfits from my five-week long vacation. I re-used a lot of my pieces over the three cities as you could see in my Insta posts (follow me @ yasmina aniss) Links to exact items or similar have been posted- Happy Shopping!

Marrakech Diaries Part 1

Unfortunately, the wifi in the hotel we are in is pretty appalling! So apologies for the lack of social media infiltration from me lol!

(Rant warning- why the hell do hotels in this day and age not have decent wifi grrrr!)

Marrakech is hot!!! So hot that I have developed a wee bit of a heat rash...boo! Anyone know how to solve this? We have a done a few things the last two days but the highlights would have to be the copious amounts of pool lounging, eating and hanging around Jaama El Fnaa. Dining out in Morocco is soooo cheap- yesterday for dinner we had traditional harrira (a soup) and Msemem (a savoury Moroccan pancake)- and for six of us, the bill came to €5!!! Some one will have to roll me of the plane...

Last nights #OOTD-

Necklace (HRH Collection), Waistcoat and Tank vest (HM), Shorts (Levi's) and Sandals (Topshop)

Casablanca Diaries 3

Just a quick post as I'm leaving Casablanca today to visit Marrakech for the next five days. We are driving down and it should take about three hours. Not too bad...as long as you have AC lol!

Marrakech is way more touristy so dressing up can be a little more western as oppose to Casa. 

My #OOTD (yday...)-

Crop Cami (missguided), pants and bag (Zara) and Sandals (Topshop). My sandals actually broke in Dublin Airport (and I had to rather enthusiastically do a DIY version with medicinal tape lol!)- then I got them fixed in Casa for a euro!

Have a great weekend everyone! X

Casablanca Diaries 2

It's been a pleasant last few days in Casablanca. I have spent it by the beach, visiting relatives, shopping for fabric, looking at the remaining French architecture and eating copious amounts of food.

It's quite humid in Casa and a mild enough temperature with the weather being in the mid 20's. So totally bearable. Marrakech at the weekend is going to be a whole different story though...40+ degrees...eeek!

My wardrobe was insanely small this year- I only have about 6 outfits that I have played around with. Today's outfit was head to toe Zara with the culotte jumpsuit being an absolute steal I found in the recent sale. I have been dying to find the right pair of culottes for me- and this jumpsuit inspired pair was the best way to introduce this trend!

My OOTD;

Jumpsuit (Zara s/s14), sandals (Zara s/s14), bag (Zara a/w13) and jewellery (HM and Pennys mix)

Punk Princess

So I decided to do a blog post on one of my favourite OOTD's that I have worn recently. It was a total Punk vs Princess look. Soft makeup, hair and queen jewels vs. biker chic, camo and minimalist basics. Everything in the look is high street except my prized Alexander Wang 'Rocco' which unfortunately is starting to tarnish slightly.  Boo! The pants, shirt, jacket and statement necklace are all Zara- which I am obsessed with. They have the most amazing winter pieces right now. I have spied way too many winter coats and dresses that I need....well want! Lol! Hope everyone has had a great start to the week!
