]]> Leeds, a city in the north-east of England, is well-known for its vibrant food culture and exciting new eateries. One area in which it excels is its bakeries. From freshly baked, traditional bread to some of the sweetest treats around, the bakeries across the city have something to offer everyone. If you’re visiting Leeds or traveling there soon, make sure to check out at least one of these fabulous bakeries!

Cafe 164, Leeds

Everything that Cafe 164 produces is of incredibly high quality, and it’s no different when it comes to their freshly baked goods. They specialize in high quality breads and artisanal cakes and pastries and often use innovative flavor combinations to make traditional pastries that bit more exciting. If you want to taste anything from Cafe 164, make sure you arrive early—their bread and bake have often sold out by the early afternoon.

Bluebird Bakery, Leeds

This traditional bakery offers a range of bread, cakes, and pastries, all produced to a very high standard. They are suppliers of many cafes and restaurants across Yorkshire, so if you’re seeking some professional standard bread, Bluebird Bakery is the place for you.

Batch’d Bakery, Leeds

If you have a sweet tooth, this is the bakery for you. From filled donuts to layered cookies, Batch’d Bakery has it all! Why not get something to eat now, and something to eat later—it can be hard to choose just one item from the range of cakes, pastries, bakes, and goodies on display!

]]> If you’re traveling to London, you have to make the most of the city’s extensive food and drinks scene. From trying the latest viral pastry from one of the city’s many fantastic bakeries, to sipping on some stunning cocktails in a glamorous bar, there are certain London food experiences which will make your trip to the city all the more sweet. Check out this guide to some of the best cocktail bars across the capital, so you can enjoy some fabulous evenings on your vacation.

Silverleaf Bar, Liverpool Street

This high-class cocktail bar is located next to the Pan Pacific hotel on Liverpool Street, so you could combine a luxury hotel stay with a visit to the gorgeous bar. You can expect to sample some expertly crafted cocktails, with plenty of old classics on the menu, as well as some innovative newcomers. The staff are all incredibly knowledgable and can advise you on which drinks to try, depending on your preferences.

The Chocolate Cocktail Club, St John Street

The clue is certainly in the name when it comes to guessing what this bar specializes in. Combining cocktails and chocolate, two of the best things, this bar crafts some particularly delicious drinks for you to enjoy in the evening. It also offers tasting platters of high quality chocolate, so you can sip and sample some delicious treats.

Rake’s Cafe Bar, Liverpool Street

Located just down the road from Silverleaf Bar (meaning you may as well visit both!), Rake’s is a lively, vibrant establishment with plenty of drinks on the cocktail menu. You can also enjoy snacks and light meals in the evening, so why not start your evening off at Rake’s, before moving onto some of the other cocktail bars that London has to offer?

]]> Amsterdam is a great city to visit, whether you’re planning a weekend break or a longer trip. One of the best features of the city is its amount of green space, so if you’re visiting the Dutch capital, make sure you check out at least one of these great parks.

Vondelpark

Situated centrally, just across from the Rijksmuseum, this green space is essentially one giant field. What it lacks in terms of landscaping and pretty plants, it makes up for in terms of access to recreational outdoor activities. Come here in summer and kick a ball around, play a game of catch, run laps, play chase with your dog—the attitude in this park is laid back and relaxed, so settle in for a whole day of fun in the sun.

Park de Oeverlanden

This huge park offers opportunities for wild swimming, relaxing on the (artificial) beach, following a nature trail, grabbing a cup of coffee in one of its cafes or simply sitting and admiring all that greenery. It will require a metro or tram out of the city centre, but the trip is definitely worth it if you’re craving some open space during your time in Amsterdam.

Amstelpark

This park, a short walk from the main canal ring and city centre, is generally peaceful and relaxed. With some access to water via the river that runs alongside the green space, this park feels like you’re at the edge of the urban space, even though really you’re fairly central. Stop off for a drink or ice cream at one of the charming snack huts, or while away the afternoon with a book.

]]> Do you ever look at images of people dressing in their best to board a flight in the 1950s and wish that we all took traveling more seriously nowadays? While prioritizing comfort is no bad thing, it can feel exciting to dress up just a little bit when you’re about to jet off on holiday. Luckily, with some carefully chosen travel accessories, you can achieve a chic, sophisticated look without having to dress in a full suit or fifties style dress. Check out these stunning travel accessories which can bring a little je-ne-sais-quoi to your airport wear.

Passport Holder

How many of us shove our passport in our jeans pocket, only to forget where we’ve put it and stage a panicked search at the departures gate? With a chic passport holder, you’ll easily be able to find your passport in your bag, plus you can impress everyone who asks to see it with your impeccable taste and style.

Compact Mirror

This sophisticated travel accessory is also seriously useful. While a front-facing phone camera can help you do your makeup or check your look, a compact mirror offers far more detail and clarity. For a chic vibe, opt for a vintage-style metal mirror—a high-quality one should close with a satisfying click.

Silk Scarf

Travel with a silk scarf and you have a ready-made eye mask, a chic hair protector, an extra layer for warmth, and even a mini pillow in an emergency. A silk scarf can also elevate any look, so even when you’re going through security in your joggers, you can enjoy traveling in style.

]]> For many of us, we have our hair routine down when we’re at home. On vacation, it’s a different story—the lack of access to a blow dryer or straighteners, the change in water, and the increased heat and humidity can play havoc with our hair. However, going away doesn’t have to mean a succession of bad hair days. With some support from some key haircare items, you can protect your locks and maximize your styling to achieve healthy, shiny hair day in, and day out.

Silk Scrunchie

When it comes to taking care of hair, silk is seriously important. It’s less abrasive than cotton or other materials and will slip over your hair without causing frizz. When you’re on vacation, you may want to consider sleeping with your hair in a ‘pineapple’ (essentially a high ponytail) to protect it from frizz and maximize your volume.

Silk Scarf

That’s right, another silk item to protect your hair! If you’re concerned about your hair getting dehydrated on the flight, or bleached out by the sun and sea, try wrapping it in a chic silk scarf to protect it. This will limit damaging UV rays, reduce frizz, and allow you to go slightly longer than usual without washing it—helping you to properly relax on vacation.

Claw Clip

Is there any hair problem a claw clip can’t improve? Use this to put your hair up in a hurry, protect it from salt water if you’re taking a dip in the sea, or stop it from getting drenched when you take a shower. Lightweight and relatively small, you can pack a few of these in your toiletries bag without losing too much valuable space.

]]> Across the UK, there are many stunning historic stately homes, most of which come with extensive gardens and grounds. Institutions such as the National Trust and English Heritage have purchased a vast number of these awesome buildings, so if you’re vacationing in the UK, make sure to check at least one of them out.

Petworth, West Sussex

This vast mansion is set within stunning grounds landscaped by the famous gardener and designer ‘Capability’ Brown. Between the house and the grounds, you can spend a whole day at Petworth admiring its beauty and grandeur. There are many traditional artworks inside the house, and if you’re visiting in good weather there are many spots for a picnic outside.

Sizergh, Lake District

This beautiful house dates back to the medieval period, and there are some seriously special artefacts on display inside. The grounds and gardens are not to be missed. The estate is over 1500 acres, meaning there’s loads of woodlands, pasture and meadows to explore. If you’re visiting in spring or summer, don’t miss the wildflowers which bloom right across the estate.

Killerton, Devon

This beautiful mansion is set within some unusual grounds. Expect to find an ice cave dug into the Devonshire countryside (which once housed a live bear which the family kept as a pet), some redwood conifers and a ‘ha-ha’—a sudden drop in the level of the land which is easy to mistake and trip into! Inside, there are some stunning artworks and instruments, demonstrating the family’s musical history.

]]> As an island nation, the UK boasts some incredible beaches, and those living in the southwest of the country would claim that the very best of the coastline is to be found in the counties of Devon and Cornwall. From rugged coves to vast sandy stretches, Devon offers some stunning beaches that can be enjoyed year-round. The North coast is favored for surfing, while the South coast offers plenty of swimming spots, not to mention some of the finest sections of the South West Coast Path. If you’re vacationing in the county of Devon, check out these three beaches which can’t be missed!

Woolacombe Bay, North Devon, England

Around half an hour’s drive from the town of Barnstaple is the stunning Woolacombe Bay. Famed for its excellent surfing conditions, in the high summer season you will find this beach packed with surfers, swimmers, paddlers, and sunbathers alike. In the winter season, a walk along the beach is sure to be bracing but worth it. There are several car parks in the town of Woolacombe, as well as plenty of cafes and restaurants so you can refuel after your sea dip.

Dawlish Warren, South Devon, England

This beach combines beautiful sand dunes with gentle surf and a nearby wildlife sanctuary, for a great day out for the whole family. You can drive or take the train to Dawlish from Devon’s capital, Exeter. You will find plenty of sandy beaches, dunes to explore, and the estuary bird sanctuary tucked behind the dunes. As in Woolacombe, there are cafes and restaurants in Dawlish which will serve up a Devon cream tea (scones with cream and jam), or that British classic, fish and chips.

Ayrmer Cove, South Devon, England

This beach is a little off the beaten track, and you will need to walk a small section of the South West Coast Path to reach it. The payoff, however, is that even in the high summer season this beach is emptier than many stretches of sand nearby. Do be aware that if you’re planning on swimming, there is no lifeguard nearby, so follow sensible precautions and don’t get in the water unless you feel confident in your swimming ability and knowledge. If you’re not swimming, there are still plenty of beach activities to do, including some rock pooling and sand castle building.

]]> Have you just booked your next vacation to a stunning tropical island? Or perhaps you’re looking to explore Southern Europe this summer, or discover Florida’s vast and expansive Everglades? Whenever you’re heading to a humid environment, you need to consider how your hair will react. Even if your hair is normally smooth and entirely frizz-free, staying somewhere hot and humid can bring out the frizz while simultaneously leaving your hair lank and lackluster. Check out these hair-saving products which you’ll need to pack with you if you’re heading somewhere humid.

Hair Oil

Hair oil is great at smoothing down frizz and taming flyaways, and it can also seal the hair follicles against that pesky humidity. It’s best applied to damp hair, at the end of your styling regime. You can also smooth a tiny amount over dry hair, but take care as just a bit too much can leave your hair looking oily and lank.

Leave-In Conditioner

If you’re someone who can normally wash your hair and go, you may find that you need to allow a little more styling time in a hot, humid environment. Once you’ve washed and conditioned your hair, applying a bit of leave-in conditioner can really help combat frizz and lack of volume. If your hair is fine or shorter, start with a dime-sized amount, or opt for a lighter spray-in conditioner. Rake it through your damp hair with your fingers before drying.

Dry Shampoo

For some people, a hotter, more humid environment can actually lead to increased oil in their hair, resulting in a greasy look. Pack a small bottle of dry shampoo, to combat oily roots. This will also save you time when you’re on vacation, so you can focus on checking out another bar or lounging by the pool, rather than re-washing and styling your hair.

]]> As a country, France has more than its fair share of stunning landscapes, exciting trails, and natural wonders. From the snow-capped Alps to the golden sands of the Riviera coast, locals and visitors alike can appreciate the natural beauty and splendor of France. If you’re visiting the country this spring or summer, head to one of these fabulous national parks, each of which offers a unique insight into the animals, plant life, and beauty of France.

Camargue Regional National Park

This wetland wonderland is situated on the south coast, near the city of Marseilles. It is famed for its native flocks of flamingoes, but there are plenty of other wetlands and wading birds to see. Although this area of France is incredibly popular, the Camargue maintains a sense of peace and tranquillity, so it’s a must-visit if you’re seeking some relaxing time in nature.

Morvan National Regional Park

Situated in the province of Burgundy, this gorgeous national park offers plenty of idyllic woodland walks, traditional farmsteads, and bucolic fields. This landscape is best visited in high spring or early summer, but the trees will also look stunning in the fall. There are many well-marked trails through the national park, so you can enjoy a relaxing ramble or a more strenuous climb, depending on what you’re looking for.

The Ardeche Mountains National Regional Park

These mountains are located in the southeast of the country. While they may not be quite as big or as bold as the famous Alps, there are plenty of reasons to visit this range. The hiking and climbing trails here are generally much more accessible for beginners than those found in the Alps, and there are plenty of stunning views from the mountains, stretching out across the Massif Centrale.

]]> We all want to look good on vacation, but when it comes to dressing for the plane, train, or whatever transport you’re taking to your holiday destination, often comfort is key. This is as it should be, as no one wants to be uncomfortable four hours into a flight. However, there are ways to combine style with comfort, especially as the weather warms up a little and a new season begins. Check out these simple tips on traveling stylishly this spring.

Versatile Scarf

While you may have resigned your thickest, warmest scarves to your winter clothes storage, a good silk scarf can work wonders when traveling in the spring. Knot it around your hair to fend off frizz mid-flight, wrap it around your shoulders for an extra bit of warmth, or drape it around yourself to slightly cover up the fact that you’re in track pants underneath – it will lend an air of glamor and mystery which track pants simply can’t bring to an outfit.

Quality Cashmere

With the arrival of a new season, it’s time to shed those seriously heavy layers and thick sweaters that you’ve been bundled up in all winter. However, that doesn’t mean that spring weather can’t be chilly, and even if your travel destination is balmy and warm, the plane is likely to be cool due to the air-con. Wear a single layer of good quality cashmere in a neutral color such as white, grey, or cream. This looks expensive and stylish, but will also deliver plenty of warmth and soft comfort throughout your journey.

Stylish Flats

In winter, it’s easy to reach for the biggest boots you own. In spring, this footwear decision is not so simple. Is it time for strappy sandals and flip-flops, or do we still need waterproof boots and sneakers? Why not opt for a super stylish flat, something like a ballet pump or a kitten heel slingback? Not only are these shoes comfortable, but they will look great with pants, dresses, and skirts and are definitely on trend this season.

]]> For many of us, we have our hair routine down when we’re at home. On vacation, it’s a different story—the lack of access to a blow dryer or straighteners, the change in water, and the increased heat and humidity can play havoc with our hair. However, going away doesn’t have to mean a succession of bad hair days. With some support from some key haircare items, you can protect your locks and maximize your styling to achieve healthy, shiny hair day in, and day out.

Silk Scrunchie

When it comes to taking care of hair, silk is seriously important. It’s less abrasive than cotton or other materials and will slip over your hair without causing frizz. When you’re on vacation, you may want to consider sleeping with your hair in a ‘pineapple’ (essentially a high ponytail) to protect it from frizz and maximize your volume.

Silk Scarf

That’s right, another silk item to protect your hair! If you’re concerned about your hair getting dehydrated on the flight, or bleached out by the sun and sea, try wrapping it in a chic silk scarf to protect it. This will limit damaging UV rays, reduce frizz, and allow you to go slightly longer than usual without washing it—helping you to properly relax on vacation.

Claw Clip

Is there any hair problem a claw clip can’t improve? Use this to put your hair up in a hurry, protect it from salt water if you’re taking a dip in the sea, or stop it from getting drenched when you take a shower. Lightweight and relatively small, you can pack a few of these in your toiletries bag without losing too much valuable space.

]]> Across the UK, there are many stunning historic stately homes, most of which come with extensive gardens and grounds. Institutions such as the National Trust and English Heritage have purchased a vast number of these awesome buildings, so if you’re vacationing in the UK, make sure to check at least one of them out.

Petworth, West Sussex

This vast mansion is set within stunning grounds landscaped by the famous gardener and designer ‘Capability’ Brown. Between the house and the grounds, you can spend a whole day at Petworth admiring its beauty and grandeur. There are many traditional artworks inside the house, and if you’re visiting in good weather there are many spots for a picnic outside.

Sizergh, Lake District

This beautiful house dates back to the medieval period, and there are some seriously special artefacts on display inside. The grounds and gardens are not to be missed. The estate is over 1500 acres, meaning there’s loads of woodlands, pasture and meadows to explore. If you’re visiting in spring or summer, don’t miss the wildflowers which bloom right across the estate.

Killerton, Devon

This beautiful mansion is set within some unusual grounds. Expect to find an ice cave dug into the Devonshire countryside (which once housed a live bear which the family kept as a pet), some redwood conifers and a ‘ha-ha’—a sudden drop in the level of the land which is easy to mistake and trip into! Inside, there are some stunning artworks and instruments, demonstrating the family’s musical history.

]]> As an island nation, the UK boasts some incredible beaches, and those living in the southwest of the country would claim that the very best of the coastline is to be found in the counties of Devon and Cornwall. From rugged coves to vast sandy stretches, Devon offers some stunning beaches that can be enjoyed year-round. The North coast is favored for surfing, while the South coast offers plenty of swimming spots, not to mention some of the finest sections of the South West Coast Path. If you’re vacationing in the county of Devon, check out these three beaches which can’t be missed!

Woolacombe Bay, North Devon, England

Around half an hour’s drive from the town of Barnstaple is the stunning Woolacombe Bay. Famed for its excellent surfing conditions, in the high summer season you will find this beach packed with surfers, swimmers, paddlers, and sunbathers alike. In the winter season, a walk along the beach is sure to be bracing but worth it. There are several car parks in the town of Woolacombe, as well as plenty of cafes and restaurants so you can refuel after your sea dip.

Dawlish Warren, South Devon, England

This beach combines beautiful sand dunes with gentle surf and a nearby wildlife sanctuary, for a great day out for the whole family. You can drive or take the train to Dawlish from Devon’s capital, Exeter. You will find plenty of sandy beaches, dunes to explore, and the estuary bird sanctuary tucked behind the dunes. As in Woolacombe, there are cafes and restaurants in Dawlish which will serve up a Devon cream tea (scones with cream and jam), or that British classic, fish and chips.

Ayrmer Cove, South Devon, England

This beach is a little off the beaten track, and you will need to walk a small section of the South West Coast Path to reach it. The payoff, however, is that even in the high summer season this beach is emptier than many stretches of sand nearby. Do be aware that if you’re planning on swimming, there is no lifeguard nearby, so follow sensible precautions and don’t get in the water unless you feel confident in your swimming ability and knowledge. If you’re not swimming, there are still plenty of beach activities to do, including some rock pooling and sand castle building.

]]> Have you just booked your next vacation to a stunning tropical island? Or perhaps you’re looking to explore Southern Europe this summer, or discover Florida’s vast and expansive Everglades? Whenever you’re heading to a humid environment, you need to consider how your hair will react. Even if your hair is normally smooth and entirely frizz-free, staying somewhere hot and humid can bring out the frizz while simultaneously leaving your hair lank and lackluster. Check out these hair-saving products which you’ll need to pack with you if you’re heading somewhere humid.

Hair Oil

Hair oil is great at smoothing down frizz and taming flyaways, and it can also seal the hair follicles against that pesky humidity. It’s best applied to damp hair, at the end of your styling regime. You can also smooth a tiny amount over dry hair, but take care as just a bit too much can leave your hair looking oily and lank.

Leave-In Conditioner

If you’re someone who can normally wash your hair and go, you may find that you need to allow a little more styling time in a hot, humid environment. Once you’ve washed and conditioned your hair, applying a bit of leave-in conditioner can really help combat frizz and lack of volume. If your hair is fine or shorter, start with a dime-sized amount, or opt for a lighter spray-in conditioner. Rake it through your damp hair with your fingers before drying.

Dry Shampoo

For some people, a hotter, more humid environment can actually lead to increased oil in their hair, resulting in a greasy look. Pack a small bottle of dry shampoo, to combat oily roots. This will also save you time when you’re on vacation, so you can focus on checking out another bar or lounging by the pool, rather than re-washing and styling your hair.

]]> As a country, France has more than its fair share of stunning landscapes, exciting trails, and natural wonders. From the snow-capped Alps to the golden sands of the Riviera coast, locals and visitors alike can appreciate the natural beauty and splendor of France. If you’re visiting the country this spring or summer, head to one of these fabulous national parks, each of which offers a unique insight into the animals, plant life, and beauty of France.

Camargue Regional National Park

This wetland wonderland is situated on the south coast, near the city of Marseilles. It is famed for its native flocks of flamingoes, but there are plenty of other wetlands and wading birds to see. Although this area of France is incredibly popular, the Camargue maintains a sense of peace and tranquillity, so it’s a must-visit if you’re seeking some relaxing time in nature.

Morvan National Regional Park

Situated in the province of Burgundy, this gorgeous national park offers plenty of idyllic woodland walks, traditional farmsteads, and bucolic fields. This landscape is best visited in high spring or early summer, but the trees will also look stunning in the fall. There are many well-marked trails through the national park, so you can enjoy a relaxing ramble or a more strenuous climb, depending on what you’re looking for.

The Ardeche Mountains National Regional Park

These mountains are located in the southeast of the country. While they may not be quite as big or as bold as the famous Alps, there are plenty of reasons to visit this range. The hiking and climbing trails here are generally much more accessible for beginners than those found in the Alps, and there are plenty of stunning views from the mountains, stretching out across the Massif Centrale.

]]> We all want to look good on vacation, but when it comes to dressing for the plane, train, or whatever transport you’re taking to your holiday destination, often comfort is key. This is as it should be, as no one wants to be uncomfortable four hours into a flight. However, there are ways to combine style with comfort, especially as the weather warms up a little and a new season begins. Check out these simple tips on traveling stylishly this spring.

Versatile Scarf

While you may have resigned your thickest, warmest scarves to your winter clothes storage, a good silk scarf can work wonders when traveling in the spring. Knot it around your hair to fend off frizz mid-flight, wrap it around your shoulders for an extra bit of warmth, or drape it around yourself to slightly cover up the fact that you’re in track pants underneath – it will lend an air of glamor and mystery which track pants simply can’t bring to an outfit.

Quality Cashmere

With the arrival of a new season, it’s time to shed those seriously heavy layers and thick sweaters that you’ve been bundled up in all winter. However, that doesn’t mean that spring weather can’t be chilly, and even if your travel destination is balmy and warm, the plane is likely to be cool due to the air-con. Wear a single layer of good quality cashmere in a neutral color such as white, grey, or cream. This looks expensive and stylish, but will also deliver plenty of warmth and soft comfort throughout your journey.

Stylish Flats

In winter, it’s easy to reach for the biggest boots you own. In spring, this footwear decision is not so simple. Is it time for strappy sandals and flip-flops, or do we still need waterproof boots and sneakers? Why not opt for a super stylish flat, something like a ballet pump or a kitten heel slingback? Not only are these shoes comfortable, but they will look great with pants, dresses, and skirts and are definitely on trend this season.
