RETURNING SHAMEFACED

Hola! After a week of lazily sunning myself poolside then partying it down in Spain, and a day or two to recover from my immense tiredness, I have returned to the arid desert that is my blog. I hope not all readers have cast their anchors and abandoned ship, as I have no more holidays planned... for now.
To the subject at hand, Spanish is undoubtedly one of the least style-orientated countries I have ever visited, but there were a fair few pairs of silk patterned hammer pants circulating the cities, perhaps the Mediterranean alternative to the oh so attractive British white linen trouser.
Just a re-introduction really, I would share holiday snaps but nobody needs to see me either in a bikini, nor jumping around in a drunken manner and dancing on tables, perhaps the only girls who bothered to don heels. No offence if you are a Stylish Spaniard, hats off to you for powering through the multitudes of fashion tragedies!

SECRET LIFE QUIZ: Nadia of We Were Damsels

The first guest answers are here, and I am jetting off to the oh so glamorous Majorca for a cheap, boozy holiday to celebrate the end of the tiresome and wearing boredom of College, exams, and certainties in my life.
These answers are of Nadia, one half of those incredibly coiffured and cheek-boned Damsels in something less than distress. If you haven't checked out their blog, you should definitely get over there and lose yourself in their incredible style and witty wording. And now for her response!
