Beach Blues


Dress - TK Maxx
Flipflops - Fit Flop


Hola readers!

So the weather has been a bit shitty, and following an extreeemely muddy weekend at Secret Garden Party, I felt it was time to bring some beachy vibes back into your life, and well.. into mine. Nothing cheers me up quite like looking through holiday photos and we took some beautiful ones in Barcelona so here they are! If you didn't check it out before, Danie (instagram: @_luciaphotography), my wonderful best friend AND incredible photographer has been shooting these past few posts, so have a look at her page and give it a follow. 

I'm aware FitFlops are hilarious looking, but they are soo comfy and I don't care. Based on the insane views on my previous fitness post, small tip; these badboys have been the easiest way to tone my legs without having had the chance to go running or keep up with my normal regimes during the intense Barcelona heat. They actually have a 50% sale right now so I'd get in there before other fashionista's grab them all lmao.
I know summer brings that ridiculous stress to look perfect in a bikini but a lot of feeling good about yourself doesn't actually come from looking good. Not that I'm so great at it either, but it all starts with believing you look good and deserve to feel it! Blogging has been my outlet for that, finding a way to feel good about yourself whilst building your own confidence at the same time. Hope I've cheered up your rainy days and also you've enjoyed catching up!

Anyway, thanks for visiting elliemikaela as always, share and comment, it makes me extremely happy!!
Big loves and happy summer-ing!

Free Ya Nipples in Barcelona!


White Jeans - Mango
DIY Tie Top
Leather Backpack - Radley
Shoes - Superstars

Hiya all!
Welcome back to my blog, been a little absent recently but I thought I'd bring it all back with an extremely colourful post taken in the beautiful Barcelona!! Recently spent a week there and I have to say I completely fell in love with the place, from the Gothic Quarter to Park Guell. Everything about the city is incredible and I hope to live there one day. All photo's were taken by my extremely talented friend Dan (seen in pictures below). She's set up a photography instagram, her photographs are insane, will be well worth a follow. Search for @_luciaphotography to give her a look and a follow. All my links are at the end of each post so give each a follow too.

I love how when you go to other countries you can wear literally anything you want. The mixture of the hot weather and also removing the possibilities of running into everyone you know, makes dressing much more fun. So I thought I'd brave this (slightly) see-through little boobtube, at the time I was pretty unaware how see-through it was.. but hey! Free ya nips girls! This top was actually part of a dress that my friend cut in half, but I think it works pretty well like this. The tie-up-back is really pretty too, watch out for this style in every material I have now ha. Anyway, welcome to me tanned. Isn't it nice when the camera doesn't reflect off your skin and white out the photo? I believe so. I even wear white, how grown up is that?! 



So that's it from me for the moment, I have quite a few more posts coming up so keep an eye out!
Love to all who read, make sure you return and bring friends!
Peace and love people xo
