Honeymoons - Rustic Style

Now I know it's not for everyone but personally I can't think of anything more romantic that staying in a rustic, safari style campsite for your honeymoon. Soft floaty muslin bed canopies, roaring open fires, the fresh outdoors, not to mention the sound of nature right outside your window - well tent flap as it may be! These days it doesn't have to be quite so primitive, as there are so many beautiful luxury safari camps, where your every whim is catered for and then some. I know a tropical beach honeymoon is most popular - and it's what I went for myself - and I get that....you're so busy in the lead up to the wedding, you literally want to do nothing. But something like this would be a once in a lifetime trip and having spent time in Africa (albeit not quite in the same luxurious surroundings!!) it is at the top of my must do holidays! To be at one with nature!! Utter bliss in my books! What do you think....beach or adventure honeymoon?

Fiji by Night...

So further to my Fiji by day wardrobe earlier in the week, here's my selection for those warm evenings dining under the stars!!!
This has got me thinking about honeymoon wardrobes which are always fun to pack for. If you're heading for warmer climates you'll definitely be needing a couple of different swimsuits to swan around the pool in....and then of course some fabulous sarongs and kaftans to throw on as you saunter over to the cocktail bar! Not to mention the accessories (accessories maketh the outfit!). Then of course you'll need a few outfits to take you through into the wee hours, some easy dresses to throw on for dinner and pretty metallic flip-flops to show off your newly tanned feet. Bon Voyage!

Fiji by Day....

So my lovely husband has just surprised me with a trip to Fiji in a couple of weeks and I'm in a bit of a dither over what to take to wear! It's always a bit more challenging heading for instant sun when you've been hidden away beneath layer upon layer for months, and heading out to find a few new summery things is near impossible at this time of year. However I did have fun dreaming and came up with the below 'virtual' wardrobe for my Fiji days! This is of course taking into account the toned, tanned, size 8 body that I'm picking up at duty free on my way through.....

Now if only I could click my fingers and this would all be delivered to my front doorstep!
Check back in later in the week for my al fresco dining/evening selection!
