WHAT YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN’T MISS VISITTING STRATFORD UPON AVON, ENGLAND

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller” Ibn Battuta

If you like weekends away packed with culture and history, Stratford-upon-Avon should be on your bucket list.

Stratford is a small and historic Elizabethan market town on the River Avon in Warwickshire. The town offers the perfect destination for life-long Shakespeare lovers but there are more things to do than you may think.

This town’s medieval streets are filled with delightful shops, top-quality restaurants and pubs, all within walking distance of the scenic River Avon, and surrounded by the wonderful Warwickshire countryside.

THE POWER OF TWO | EFFORTLESS AND CHIC CO-ORDS

“The joy of dressing is an art.” John Galliano

I’m obsessed with matching sets that have become my go-to fashion trend for many reasons. For someone as sartorially indecisive as I am, co-ords offer the holy grail of outfit-choosing.

“I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.” Vera Wang

In just a few weeks, we will be celebrating the end of 2021 and although, I am in denial at how quickly these past 12 months seemed to have zoomed by, I am also equally excited at the thought of a new year.

Party dresses are officially back although, it’s worth remembering that you don’t have to go clubbing to dress up. After almost two years of WFH in tracksuits, I suspect that most of us would happily wear sequins everywhere from the corner shop to the pub.

These stunning styles are the most fabulous and on trend styles I could find and all under whopping £100! Get them quick, the best party dresses always sell out at record speed this time of year.
