Hello guys, long time no
speak. This year has been my time to go travelling, as I recently became
self-employed I have taken the opportunity to travel and see the world. To help
me with my travels I have started using the app called Worldee*. Worldee allows
you to discover a variety of places across the world. Ranging from tourist
attractions, nightlife, restaurants and hotels, find more places in your
current location and learn vast amounts about these places.
Worldee uses enhanced
reality, so all that is required is a point, aim and tap on the icons which are
hovering over your chosen point of interest and you can instantly know all the
information you require. If you want to know about the wider proximities, then
you can use the listed view to discover more places and plan where you are
going to be heading throughout the day and night.
Once you have visited a
place on the app this will automatically save to your profile, allowing you to
reminisce on past places visited, and if you wish to rediscover information
about this place, then this is available at your disposal.
I found the Worldee app
super useful when I went to Mykonos a few weeks ago and it really helped me
discover some cool spots to go to!
I went with my friend and we
wanted to just spend the time wandering through the maze of narrow alleyways so
we could discover little gems. All the buildings are painted white and blue and
draped in bright pink flowers as we were there in early Spring. There are lots
of cafes, bars and boutique stores where you can find genuinely lovely gifts,
souvenirs, jewellery and clothing (not just cheap and tacky tourist crap that
you find in most places). We wandered up to the famous windmills and strolled
along the coast where little bars stretch out to the sea.
We used the Worldee app to
find a fabulous place to have lunch, obviously we wanted it to be Instagramable
too! ;)
Whilst strolling and using
the app we came across Joanna's Niko's Place Taverna which was tucked away just
off the main tourist strip. Visitors staying a few days or a week will probably
know of this little beach area but it remains a hidden gem to the crowds.
We walked past the windmills
and through a dusty car park. You'll think you're going to wrong way but keep
walking along a narrow but busy road for 5-10 minutes. The road follows the
coast and looks out over the gorgeous sea and little beaches.
Joanna's Niko's Place
Taverna has a casual eating area plus sun loungers outside and it's the perfect
place to laze away the afternoon.
My tips for Mykonos:
- The waters around Mykonos are choppy so I'd recommend sea sickness tablets for boat trips.
- Arrive early to photograph the windmills. It can be difficult to get a good shot when they're surrounded by people. Sunset is another great time for a gorgeous shot but there will be lots of people up there.
- Lots of people get around Mykonos by renting a scooter or quad bike. Make sure you hire from a reputable company and return it on time to avoid sky-high fees.
- Just explore, Mykonos is perfect for a relaxed break.
Hope you enjoy exploring Mykonos, let me
know if you use the app, it really helped me!

To those who are graduating this year I just want to say congratulations! Obviously such an exciting day and achievement, it’s a time
when you want to look and feel good! Here are my tips on what to wear to your Graduation.
Graduation season is just around the corner and whether you are graduating this
year, you’ll want to have the perfect outfit! I’ve teamed up with PrettyLittleThing to bring you some cute outfits that are perfect for graduation. If you
have no idea what to wear to a graduation, today’s article is here to help. Here is the link to the PrettyLittleThing Graduation shop, the have plenty of styles to choose from.

What to Wear to Your Graduation – Clothing
Even though you’re going to have a huge
robe on for most of the ceremony, it’s still important to look nice underneath.
After all, you’ll likely be in photos before/after the robe, and probably
celebrating at lunch after. Since the robes aren’t what we’d call flattering, I
highly suggest wearing a dress. This way, you’ll still be able to show off at
least your ankles and you won’t be dealing with trousers gathering up under the
robe.
As far as the type of dress, wear something
you’d wear to church or that you’d be comfortable in in from of grandparents.
It’s definitely not the time to wear anything too revealing. I suggest a dress
that hits right above your knee or that stops mid-calf. This way, you’re still
breaking up the robe with your ankles showing, and you’re conservative enough
for the occasion. Alternatively, Jumpsuits are a great alternative for those
who don’t want to wear dresses. The one in this post from Pretty Little Thing
is my favourite!
Also consider the you should consider the heat.
Even if it is cooler in England, most graduations are HOT, whether they’re
inside or you’re out after, just because of the sheer amount of people around.
Stay away from colours that show sweat (grey and most light colours), or at
least wear something with a pattern that would hide anything. Because let me
tell you, you’ll be sitting for a LONG time, and that plus the weight of the
robe will add body heat. I suggest an outfit that lets you breath, nothing too
tight, and something with cap sleeves, sleeveless, or at least breathable
material. White or mint is a great colour for grads, as you don’t have to worry
about getting it dirty since the robe will be covering you when you sit.

What to Wear to Your Graduation –
Accessories
Since your head and feet are really the
only thing that will be showing when you have your robe and cap on, have a play
with accessories! Shoes are the main attraction here, so pick a pair that you love.
I’d definitely walk in them a good amount before to break them in and ensure
that you’re confident wearing them. Remember that you’ll probably be walking on
grass at some point (a lot of graduations take place on fields), so a wedge or
a block heel is a good option. Don’t wear anything too high, as you want to
look comfortable (and be comfy) throughout the ceremony. I ALWAYS go for a
block heel, gives you height without breaking your back.
Then, don’t forget about earrings or a lovely
necklace to spice things up. Your hair will likely be down (don’t forget you’ll
have a cap on), so grab a pair of earrings that stick out even with hair down,
or a statement necklace to place over the gown/robe.
You most likely won’t be allowed to carry a
bag to your graduation, so either keep it at home or give it to a family member
before. But either way, I wouldn’t bother forking out a huge amount of money on
a new bag since you won’t be wearing one for most of the day.
And there you have it! My little guide to
what to wear to a graduation in collaboration with PrettyLittleThing. Let me
know if you have any other questions and I’d love to see your grad looks! :D
