Adozen Most Amazing Places on Earth

No really, I'm not talking about New York City or Mauritius, these are actual amazing places you may never have heard of but should really make a trip to at some point in your life.

This is a little bit of homage from Adozen to some of the most understated and unusual places on the planet.

Dubai Marina - Not very understated but beautifully magical nonetheless.

Crystal Cave, Svínafellsjökull in Skaftafell, Iceland - Formed by the meeting of the glacier and the coastline.

The Fairy Towers, Cappadocia, Turkey - Created by the bizzare growth of rock formations. 

Waterfall of the Gods – Goðafoss, Iceland

Emerald Lake, New Zealand

The Great Blue Hole, Belize

Greenland Ice Sheet, Arctic

Chefchouen, Morocco - The Blue City

Jiuzhaigou Valley, China - "The Valley Of Nine Villages"

Lake Retba, Senegal - A lake made pink by the high levels of salt

Pamukkale, Turkey

Xiying Rainbow Bridge, Penghu, Taiwan

Adozen Clashing/Matching Rules


Well, two to be specific but here are half a dozen examples to really hammer it in to you. You’ve got to be clashing or matching my friends. Now, don’t panic. I know it’s a daunting look and the runway designers featured have certainly not held back, but the high street are going to make it very simple for you. Topshop for example, bless ‘em, have a whole section dedicated to ‘co-ords’ on their website for you to peruse. So now you can either mix and match and be clashing or easily purchase your matching trouser suit. Oerfect. River Island have also done the same, kind of them! There are plenty of fabulous patterns on the high street for you to mix and match with, my favourite being the exquisite bird patterned skirt from Miss Selfridge and the Hawaian Beach Scene blouse from H&M. Try and keep some of the same colours present when you’re clashing as well as similar pattern themes in order to ensure the look is making the right statement, rather than just clashing away for the sake of it! My Miss Selfridge look includes two kimono styled patterns in similar tones, whilst the H&M look combines hawaiian flower trousers with that gorgeous Hawaiian scene blouse. If you don’t fancy throwing yourself into either of these looks full throttle, try separating up the looks with some block colour or neutral accessories, a clashing ensemble would still look fab, but slightly toned down for day-to-day wear with a neutral blazer to accompany it.
