Iceland Day One

Iceland day one, finally after going through hundreds of photos, I have managed to narrow it down them down as best as I can to some of my favourite pictures from the first day of our trip! There is more photos than I would normally add to a blog post, but it is necessary in this case. 

The first day consisted of travelling and a super lovely evening at the Blue Lagoon once arriving in Iceland. 

The Blue Lagoon was honestly one of the most amazing places I have ever been, it was so relaxing & so so beautiful I can't even put it into words. No picture I or anyone else will take will do it justice, you just need to see & experience it for yourself!
It is the perfect place to go with a partner, for some really lovely one on one relaxing time in a super romantic setting. We floated around for hours, in the warm water, whilst the sky was full of snow, exploring every part of the lagoon, whilst sipping on red wine and wearing natural lagoon mud masks, which may I add made our skin feel INCREDIBLE!!

After spending about 2 hours in the lagoon and the surrounding saunas, steam rooms and in water caves, we went and had a lovely meal in the on site 'Lava' restaurant, were we had the most beautiful view and a lovely dinner, before getting on a coach back to our apartment.

See for yourself just how perfect this day was...

Celeriac and Cous cous for dinner!

There is a little insight into our first day in Iceland. These pictures definitely do not do it justice, but you can get an idea of just how beautiful this place is.

None of these photos have been edited (apart from the one of us on the plane) so I really am showing you its true beauty. The quality may not be amazing, because trying to take a picture in -9C & snow whilst soaking wet, is VERY difficult!

I 110% recommend visiting Iceland and the Blue Lagoon!

A big thank you to the people at Triangl for the bikini I was so in love with it & couldn't have been happier to get to wear it in Iceland!
Check out my bikini & other styles here.

Hope you have enjoyed looking at the pictures. Day two will follow shortly!

Sacha Goes To Iceland


Yes, thats right Iceland! As a christmas present for my boyfriend I decided to book us a little holiday to Iceland just for a long weekend.
Iceland is somewhere that I have wanted to visit for a long time & I know Aaron had it on his bucket list so it was the perfect place to go, especially as it is so close to Christmas, there is nothing better to get you in the spirit than snow and endless layers of your ugliest clothing in a desperate attempt to keep warm!

I only told Aaron where we were going this morning, at 6am (the day we were leaving). I made him open an envelope with a laminated card inside with 'You're going to Iceland!!' on it with our flight times and some little scenic pictures. He knew we were going away, he just didnt know where. 
I'm so proud of myself for not caving in and telling him, because believe me I came close SO many times!!

Anyway, I thought I would write this post as a little update and to show you what I took in my hand luggage, along with a few snaps of what I wore to the airport and a couple of photos of me and Aaron looking rather sleepy on the plane...oh & a bathroom selfie of course!!

Most of the stuff I don't have links for! But they are basic pieces, so very similar pieces can be found in most highstreet stores!

When I get back home, I will do a post for each day I spend here in Iceland, so you can see what we got up to!

Alexander Wang x H&M: Part Two








So the part two of my Alexander Wang x H&M posts is the cropped neoprene jumper, which I am SO happy with. 
Now I did pay a little more than I wanted to for this, as it had sold out on the website, so I snapped it up on eBay, but it is still totally worth it. The quality of this piece is impeccable, there is literally not one bad thing to say about it in my opinion, so for it to be retailed at £34.99 was such an amazing price!

Again, this isn't a winter appropriate look so I will have to wait until summer for this one, but I just thought this worked quite well. Its quite a cool and very easy to wear outfit, and being as lazy as I am, easy is always a winner for me.

I think I might style this jumper again because there is so many ways to wear it. I reckon it would even look good with the outfit from my part one Alexander Wang x H&M post, which you can find here.

Thoughts on this one?

Alexander Wang x H&M: Part One

WARNING: A very 'booby'post!!!











So much boob! 
I really do apologise. The top is just a little too tight on the boobage area which means it pushes them up to my bloody chin, but hopefully when I join the gym after Christmas, my boobs will shrink & I wont have this problem!

Anyway, onto the GOOD stuff. This is the first of a two part Alexander Wang x H&M post!

 I finally styled up my Alexander Wang x H&M Bustier after pondering on what the perfect casual outfit for it would be...aaanndddd I think I found it!! Im so in love with this outfit, I just felt so cool and comfortable in it. It may not be one for winter, but I can definitely hold out until summer for this one!

Im so happy with the bustier it's self, the quality is incredible and the fit is great, minus the squishy boobs! I mean some people might like that it give's you a super cleavage, but even posting these pictures on here is giving me a mild anxiety attack, I just feel SO uncomfortable getting my goodies out. 
I love that 'WANG' is imprinted into all the separate sections of the bustier, but are still very subtle and not too in your face.

Im a sucker for an all black outfit, but who can blame me? I added the VANS as they added a little bit of brightness and pattern to the outfit. A pair of Adidas Originals or some crisp white Lacoste would also look PERFECT with this outfit, but I own neither! 

What do you think to this look?

I'd love to know how you styled yours, if you managed to get you hands on one? OR even if you didn't, how would you have styled it?
