jewels from the mediteranean

In between sunbathing and scoffing numerous ice creams, we managed to raise ourselves from the beach and head to the local markets to see what gems we could unearth. I loved scouring the series of stalls knowing full well that an eagle-eye and a few euros will lead to a really unique piece. I fell in love with the tribal-esque collar necklace instantly and knew it would be perfect paired with a cream dress and sun-kissed skin. The cracked stone ring was an obviously purchase as I am drawn like a magpie to all things turquoise and it was a triumph when I discovered the faux retro casio watch - the exact style I had been pining after for ages!

Do you go mad for the markets when on holiday?

Absolutely adore all of it, great buys Milly. The necklace in particular is beautiful.
Glad you had a lovely time on your hols, very jealous as we've been sploshing around in our wellies.
