I have just got back from an amazing trip to Marrakech! I went for 6 days for a wedding and to chill out. Marrakech was amazing, I loved the market and found an amazing metallic kimono which you can see above! 

I tried to document as many outfits as possible to share with you guys! It was so nice to get dressed up and wear some summery pieces and my amazing Motel Rocks bikinis which I LOVE! Massive thanks to Boohoo, Pretty Little Thing and Motel Rocks for supplying me with some amazing pieces which made my trip 'oh so stylish'!

I hope you all have some wonderful adventures planned for summer! Do share your summer style with us :-)

It's that time of year again where we are all starting to get ready for holidays! The best part about holiday is wearing floaty summery gorgeous clothes and getting dressed up! It's all in the accessories for me and means I can sport a floral headband, sunnies and be draped in jewellery 24/7 and look totally right! 

I am always in search of amazing cover ups and poolside comfy attire and when I came across Beach cafe I was totally won over! They have AMAZING kaftans, cover ups and swimwear and I styled up in the first outfit the amazing white embroidered kaftan and the 2nd the sun chaser crochet pants which were so unbelievably comfy and looked great! What you want on holiday is light and easy items to throw on but still look amazing and Beach Cafe have an amazing selection of items like this!

Although I love both of the pieces so much I would wear them for festivals and lounging around in the summer! 

I have seen so many wonderful cover ups and swimwear about at the moment I thought I would compile my favourite for you all.... 

1. River Island Pink Monokini 

This is perfect for any type of holiday! Love the bright clash of prints and would look great worn with shorts in Ibiza!

2. River Island Orange Fringe Kimono

This is a perfect kimono to throw on over your swimwear and with shorts. I love the bright colour and the gorgeous embroidery detail.

3. River Island Geometric Bikini

This is stunning! Love the print and bright colour perfect for making a scene and super flattering with the high waisted bottoms!

4. Johnny Loves Rosie Summertime Floral Garland

I love the colours in this headband its bright and fun and perfect for lazy summer afternoons and to brighten up poolside outfits!

5. Aspiga Large Beaded Clutch

This is the perfect little holiday bag to carry around you essentials and money!  love the gorgeous pattern, detailing and colour. Be sure to check out Aspiga they have wonderful bags and shoes!

6. Beach Cafe Pants

Head to Beach Cafe for an amazing collection of comfy but cool trousers and kaftans that are perfect for any summer activities!

7. Beach Cafe Bracelets

Don't forget to accessorise with gorgeous ethnic inspired jewellery! I love all these stacked bracelets from Beach Cafe the perfect things to finish of holiday attire!

8. Topshop Blue Floral Sandals

With sandals you want comfort, practicality but also to look wonderful! I love having a little heel as it gives you that lift you want in a bikini rather than walking flat and heavy footed. These are gorgeous and love the floral print which you can mix and match patterns with!

Hope you all found this inspirational for holiday planning and you are going to some exotic places to wear these wonderful items!

Triangl Swimwear - Naomi

Bikini c/o Triangl Swimwear 

Buy Coco Moonbeams Bikini HERE

I was asked by wonderful swimwear brand Triangl to do a review and did think it was mental in January but I am actually glad to cover some swimwear as I go to a Morocco in a few months! The bikinis are really cool with mismatching tops and bottoms. I love the use of metallic and net together and think they are the answer for fashionable girls on the beach! 

The packaging is super cute and it came with a matching silver bag for the bikini to go in which is so handy for the beach! I got size M in the top and bottom but could of done with an S in the top. I think its great you can choose sizes in both as if your like me I always have to get different sizes due to being slightly pear shape. The bikini is very thick and supportive fabric which means no getting out the pool with a saggy bikini bottom or them falling down! You get what you pay for- great quality and fit! 

I have showed the bikini in full at the top and got a bit creative with the last 2 images styling it up In a skate esq outfit which is bang on trend for SS14! I will definitely be rocking the bikini in a look like this over summer- the bikini top is actually a similar shape to the Alexander Wang bralets so I think it works great under a shirt like this!

Whatever your holiday plans for 2014 make sure you head to Triangl for your swimwear! 

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
