WHILE I'M GONE...

Ellie Adams - The Elle Next Door
I can't work out if that title sounds like an Eminem track - hands up if you were also a little bit obsessed with him at 14 too? - or as if I'm about to die. Either way, it literally refers to the fact that I've currently left the country - for all of 4 days, lols for being drama queen of the century - and I thought I'd share this little outfit/home appreciation while I'm gone.

I'm currently writing this bad boy from my balcony in the Ibiza hotel I'm staying in and whilst this place is kinda proof that heaven really is a place on earth and I have well and truly caught the travel bug and I absolutely would not swap the last few weeks for the world, looking back at these snaps makes me realise how much I really do adore home. And I realised that whilst I love [read: am effing obsessed with] travel, one thing I'm not sure I could ever do is go travelling.

And when I say travelling, I'm talking up and leaving for 6 months to go and explore the world whilst leaving everyone behind. Because whilst exploring this little ball we call earth - oh ffs, I've clearly been watching too much Gossip Girl and am morphing into Dan Humphrey the poet/writer/secret fitty - is what completely sets my heart on fire... doing it for a few days at a time then popping back to my little abode in South East London is exactly how I intend on going about it.

Speaking of which, I hope you're down for some travel content because 5 days after I get back from Ibiza I'm off on a press trip to the South of France [insert sassy hand and airplane emoji here and maybe play "watch me whip, watch me Nay nay" in your heads simultaneously for good measure].

I'm such a twat...

This outfit is nothing special, in fact, part of me is like "yo gal pal, MC Hammer called, he wants his trousers back" but there's just something about it that I quite like. Maybe it's the blush/nude/neutral tones, maybe it's that it was so god damn comfortable that I felt like I was wearing pyjamas... or maybe it's because my hayfever was that bad that day that I pretty much deserved a medal for not being in my pyjamas, but either way, I digged it.

I also want to dig my eyeballs out after using that term...

And that brings this post to an end. I'm actually finishing off this post on my terrace (stil). The sun's rising, Dan is snoring his head off, the air is humid and I'm pretty certain I've put on around 10lbs already from 3 courses of the buffet at every single meal (1 of which is always a whole plate of cheese and figs #sorrynotsorry) but I'm pretty blissfully happy. The extremely slow wifi and lots of work things going on at the moment has provoked minor first world problem panic attacks but apart from that, life is pretty damn good!

As always, thanks so much for reading!

  3. Bahahaha, definitely some Eminem going on in the title, but I love it. I feel like I'm the opposite of you though, Ellie. Because I've been stuck in my country for the longest time ever, I cannot wait to go travelling; to leave for months on end and see the world.

    That aside, I'm absolutely loving your outfit. It's so chic and comfy at the same time! x

  9. You look absolutely stunning in these pictures! I LOVE those culottes and I'm very big on comfy dressing and I've just seen that they're reduced to £28 so you might have just enabled a purchase haha. All the travel is so exciting but I would definitely be the same and want to pop home in between, I could never do the disappear for months thing!

  23. I hope you're having an incredible time in Ibiza and how massively exciting you'll be visiting the South of France soon! I spent many summers there while growing up and so it has a very special place in my heart :) You look lovely in these photos Elle - oh and NO you're definitely not alone in being obsessed with Eminem at the age of 14. I once rapped on his songs to a room full of people at a family gathering. Cringe...

  27. I was also obsessed with Eminem as a teen *coughs - still listen to his albums - coughs*

    I love travel but I'd be reluctant to travel the globe for months at a time, That being said, I did move to Europe for a year and a half so that is kind of travelling :)

    Those Boden shoes are to die for :)

  28. Love this Ellie! You look bladdy beaut and those trousers look super breezy, exactly what I need for summer! I totally get what you mean with the whole travelling thaang, I have been umming and ahhing (don't know how to type that lol) about travelling for a while now. Although I am super jelly of some of my pals living out of a backpack and travelling Thailand, I think I would be just as satisfied with discovering this world in short bursts of adventure. I love coming back to our new flat and feeling like I am in control of tings! Have a lovely time in BEEFA! Immy x
