SUMMER GETAWAY: Dream Destinations

It's hard to believe that June is already upon us, signalling the official start of summer 2015. This month at Eleven Oh Seven is all about summer getaways, and what perfect way to kick off this month's theme than a dream destination post. From beach to city, we'll show you the holiday destinations were currently dreaming of.

Bright Lights, Big City: New York

Summer doesn't mean that you're obliged to vacation on a beach soaking up the sun. Many people these days choose to spend their summer holidays amongst the hustle and bustle of city life. We definitely fit into that category and love taking the opportunity to experience new cites. New York is one of our all time favourite cities in the world: with so much to see and do, this city break will leave you dreaming of retuning to this wonderful and diverse place.

Beach Break: Mykonos

Going down the more traditional sun - and - sand type holiday, the gorgeous Greek island of Mykonos is the perfect destination for a relaxing and culture-seeking vacation. This picture-perfect destination will leave you breathless, especially as the sun sets over the sea every evening.  

Staycation: Cornwall

If, like us you have not yet planned a summer holiday, don't rule out a staycation. Britain has some of the best beaches in he world with surrounding green fields. Cornwall is one most picturesque areas in the UK, offering gorgeous coastline views and is of course the birthplace of the classic cream tea!

Big Summer Blowout: Ibiza

Ibiza offers one of the best party scenes in the world, with influential DJs and themed pool parties, you're guaranteed a good time. The island also offers quieter beaches and stunning views if you feel like taking time to relax between partying to the likes of David Guetta and Duke Dumont.  

We hope this post has given you some inspiration if you haven't yet planned your summer holiday for this year, and gives you a little insight into the summer destinations we are currently dreaming of.

OUR SUMMER BUCKET LIST

Happy Friday! Today's post is a personal one from us, showing you what plans we're making for the summer.

On Tuesday we completed our final presentations of the year, meaning for us that summer has officially started. This year's summer break will be an opportunity for us to research and prepare for our final year in University, as well as relaxing.

This year we decided to create a Bucket List to make sure that we take advantage of our time. To see what we have planned for this summer, keep reading!

1. Travel
For us this doesn't necessarily mean jetting off to a different country, we plan on discovering more places closer to home. London and Brighton are at the top of our list as well as S showing K around West Wales as the place she calls home.

2. Art/ Culture
We feel that immersing ourselves within art and culture is something that we should do more often for our creative development, so this summer we have some museum visits planned, starting with the Alexander McQueen 'Savage Beauty' exhibition at the V&A in London. We also love the idea of outdoor cinemas, and with the Luna Cinema coming to Cardiff Castle this year, we can't wait to experience it!

3. Live Music
Whether it's making last minute plans to go to a festival (we love the look of Festival No. 6 in Portmeirion!) or just seeing more gigs, we want to take more time to experience live music, and look out for emerging talent to add to our summer playlists!

4. Creativity
We want to use this time over the summer to develop our creative skills, from cooking and trying out new recipes to getting back into sketching and illustrating. We also want to get our craft on and give some of our Pinterest boards some love, trying out some DIY projects and bringing some of our interior design boards to life.
