Summer clothes tend to last me years (thanks to our short Summers) but I do like to top up my wardrobe when I come across something I like. This gorgeous  pleated maxi dress from ASOS (now sold out) is a great beach dress as it can transition from the beach to the bar. Featuring a lace trim and V-neckline, the marble printed fabric also has a flattering elasticated waistband and cut-out detail. I love the pleated skirt and the way the adjustable cami straps fall, making it super comfortable. I wore this on my recent trip to Mallorca and it was the ideal dress for the day trip to Palma. This will be coming out for many  summers to come....

We also managed a day trip to Palma where we indulged in Tapas,  a spot of shopping and a few hours at the famous Palma Nova beach. We happened to be there the same weekend of the royal wedding so found a local bar with a TV and cried like babies! Mini breaks are great because you are forced to squeeze in as many activities possible in a short space of time. But I totally get needing that 7, 10 day or even two week holiday, where you can give your body proper time to unwind and relax. I would definitely visit Porto Colom again, perhaps somewhere I would take my parents or future family. Top marks from me
