Eglwys Gadeiriol Tyddewi

This is the last UK location in the book "1000 Places to See Before You Die". Since it's a cathedral, I decided to go for a respectful look, adding a bit of "humph" with the sparkling sneakers.

Abaty

I have to admit that the pictures of the location more than the description inspired me for this look. It's the countryside and the light tends to make me believe that the air was crisp and chilly, hence the turtleneck and the jeans. The other parts of the outfit were simply based on those two pieces of clothing.

Barddas

This location is where Wale's most famous poet, Dylan Thomas, lived. Because of that, I decided to create a look I imagine a poet wearing while writing poetry in a boathouse.

According to Patricia Schultz, the literary festival in Hay-on-Wye is probably the most prestigious in Britain. Because of the importance of book in one of today's two location, I decided to create a look that was chic, to go with the elegance of the second location, but also reflected a bookworm personality. The look is mainly composed of pastel colors, except for the handbag which adds a pop of color.

According to the author of "1000 Places to See Before You Die", Plas Bodegroes is the best place to eat in the country. The thing is, I'm not sure if by country she means Wales or the UK. Either way, best places to eat are usually elegant so I decided to go for an elegant (and expensive) look. My favorite item in this outfit is the ring as it is quite delicate and elegant. The price tag though is not as charming. I also love the color of the dress, a color which seems to always give us the impression of sophistication.

Yr Eidal

The architect who built Portmeirion was inspired by Portofino in Italy so I decided to also be inspired by this italian village, hence the bright color outfit, perfect for sunny weather, which we all associate with Italy. I especially like the shoes as they are very original and also because I finally managed to put them in an outfit (yay me!).

Eisteddfod

I decided to go  for a cute outfit for this event. The jacket in this outfit is mainly in case of chilly weather. I love the Louis Vuitton bag which was created in collaboration with Sophia Coppola.
