BLUE MOSQUE


In this post we visited The Sultan Ahmed Mosque also known as the Blue Mosque. It's nickname 'The Blue Mosque' comes from the blue tiles adorning the walls in the interior. Before entering the mosque, we had to put on a headscarf and take off our shoes. Once we had made our way into the mosque, the view was absolutely breath taking. The tiling design in the interior was beautiful and it was something you wouldn't come across often.

Dungarees have been the height of fashion this summer, which have been seen on many celebrities on both sides of the pond. They have been seen in array of colours, lengths and styles. Dungarees are great because they are comfy and can be warn both casually and smartly. As purple is my favourite colour, as soon as I saw these purple dungarees on ASOS (which were also in the sale too for £16) I just had to have them. I decided to wear a plain white t-shirt underneath my dungarees as in Istanbul it is respectable to have shoulders covered. When wearing this outfit at home, I often opt for a vest top rather than t-shirt underneath. To match my white top, I wore my white Vans trainers. Lastly, to complete the outfit, decided to take my red handbag to keep the outfit colourful as well as colour blocking.

ASIA


Here we have briefly adventured out of Europe and entered Asia. These photos were taken in the garden of the Beylerbeyi Palace. Walking around the palace, there was room after room of beautiful designs fit for a king. Each room was huge filled with expensive furniture and paintings. The gardens were covered in flowers and plants as well as a fountain in the middle. We both said how we couldn't imagine living somewhere like this. 

These light-weight baggy trousers are ideal for the summer month or if you want to cover up while on holiday. These feature an elasticated hem around the ankles which are great for people like me who aren't the tallest people in the world. This prevents the trousers dragging a long the floor as this would damage the garment and wouldn't become a good look. I usual wear these trousers with either flip-flops or sandals, but as this day involved plenty of walking I decided to wear my comfy Vans. I then added a necklace full of spikes to give this outfit an extra bit of edge.
