Gambia Outfits - Naomi




If you haven't already seen my numerous posts on Instagram throughout the last week then here's some of my favourite outfits from Gambia! I got back yesterday from a week away and I am already missing the glorious sun, sea and amazing food! I love holiday and summer style as I can wear lots of bright colours and prints and layer up the jewellery. This last week I definitely went with the 'When In Africa' motto! 

For the day I usually go for a bohemian, ethnic vibe with kimonos being great to throw on over your bikini. My favourite pieces are my elephant batik top which is vintage from eBay and my oriental kimono which is from Love. I usually wear accessories either a hair accessory or a small statement earring and of course a very fitting pair of sunnies to look the ultimate beach babe! Go for a cute little bag, my fringing crochet one added to my bohemian vibes. As I was in Africa I thought I could wear all my favourite prints and wear them proud especially my favourite elephant prints! 

By night it was the same kind of deal but I went for my statement jewellery. The top left is my new addition to my wardrobe my traditional African gown which I think is just wonderful and a definite for next years festivals! I'm still absolutely loving my H&M matching skirt and top which is so easy to wear and I adore the bring and beading. I went for an Aztec clash on the bottom right which I think really embraced the African spirit! 

If your heading away for some winter sun I hope this has inspired you or if your not I hope you have enjoyed the print and colour I brought to my holidays this year!

Naomi Goes To Gambia













Hi everyone - hope England isn't to cold and wet! I just wanted to post some photos of my time in Gambia so you don't think I am ignoring you all! I will do some outfit posts from the week when I am home but for now here are some of my favourite shots - be sure to follow my personal Instagram @naomirowland for some more! The weather is around 35 degrees everyday and there are monkeys, peacocks and amazing tropical birds just casually hanging around the hotel! Gambia has been the 
perfect retreat from London life to completely relax and take in the most gorgeous surroundings! Yesterday we went the the local school in a near village which the photo with the little girl is from- I never wanted to leave! The children were so beautiful and caring, infact everyone here is! Us Londoners can definitely take some advice from all the friendly African people! That's all for now, sorry for the lack in outfit posts- they will come as soon as I get home! Naomi x
