WARNING: The following post will increase the need to travel.
They say that 'travel is the one thing you can buy that makes you richer' and with #wanderlust constantly trending on Instagram and Pinterest, my travel bucket list is becoming bigger than the Grand Canyon itself.
From breathtaking oceans, to feats of mankind, let's take a look at ten of the most beautiful places in the world and the perfect outfits to wear if you ever were to visit... **Restrains self from driving to airport**
1. Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia

Get.Me.Here.Now. One of the oldest national parks in Eastern Europe, this stunning series of waterfalls is so perfect that it could easily be confused for a painting. With 16 crystal clear lakes to cool off in, it's no wonder that this wanderlust-inducing paradise attracts one million visitors per year. Hopefully, I can be one soon before this wanderlust-fit kills me.
What To Wear
If you're visiting in Summer (you lucky devil), show off your Eastern Europe tan in frayed shorts and a white off-the-shoulder blouse. Grab your funky bikini and jump in!

2. Navagio Bay, Greece

This white-sand bay is home to a shipwreck dating back to 1981. Nestled on the coast of Zakynthos, the still and sparkling seas are certainly where I would like to while away my days...
What To Wear
Funk up a Grecian classic in a whimsical, yet sexy wrap play suit and calf-high gladiator sandals. Get out your on-trend round towel and soak in one of natures gifts. Watch out though, those locals may be paying you more attention than the shipwreck itself!

Temples, in a cave? Whaa? Combining two of the most beautiful experiences South East Asia has to offer, the Batu caves are a mish-mash of stunning temples and natural wonder.

What To Wear
Respect 'temple etiquette' by keeping your legs, arms and shoulders covered. A billowy, white blouse and printed flares still makes sure you look fiiiine in all your travel snaps!
1. Scarf, Free People 2. Trousers, Boohoo 3. Trainers, Adidas @ The Iconic 4. Bag, Bubo Handmade 5. Shirt, Express
4. Bora Bora

When I told my other half that Bora Bora would be my dream honeymoon destination, he laughed. Yep, this much dazzling beauty comes at a price. The Four Seasons Hotel costs approximately 29,000 USD a night (erm..that's like a whole year of average wages...) But for that aquamarine ocean and private floating hut, I'd be tempted. If Heaven existed on earth, it dwells in Bora Bora.
What To Wear
Any lucky lady staying in Bora Bora undoubtedly has a plane full of designer goodies being shipped her way. But my dreamy head, I could imagine elegant one-pieces, over-sized hats and flowy gowns. **Bookmarks for future date of lottery win**

5. Machu Picchu, Peru

Described as 'one of the seven wonders of the world', this ancient Incan city is truly an architectural feat. Resting on the top of a mountain ridge above the 'Sacred Valley', its purpose was to serve as an estate for Incan emperor Panchacuti. Fast forward 600 years and this stunning cite can only be reached by a multi-day trek. It's a pilgrimage that is at the top of my bucketlist.
What To Wear
Hiking on uneven ground in scorching temperatures calls for comfort. Keep it classic and cute in a striped tee and cotton shorts and be sure to bring a jumper in case the altitude gets chilly.

6. Svolvaer, Norway

Ever since I read 'His Dark Materials' as a child, I have been fascinated by the Aurora Borealis. The Lofoten Islands in Norway are one of the places that you are most likely to see those magical lights dance across the sky. Erm... when can I book my flight?
What To Wear
As the main Auroras typically appear between September and March, it's gonna be darn cold! I mean, hello; it's freakin' Norway! Snuggle up with a hint of chic in a quilted coat, beanie and gloves. Throw on some classic Hunter Wellies; perfect for stomping around in the snow!

7. Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

Well doesn't this just look like it's jumped out of a Disney film? This 19th Century castle high upon the Bavarian mountainsin a land far far away has got my inner Princess child bursting at the seams. I can practically hear 'Tale As Old As Time'....
What To Wear
If you're going to fulfill all your Disney dreams, it's time to get your Princess on. Ok... I don't recommend a full on 'Cinderella' gown. A faux-fur coat is fit for a snow-princess and knee high boots bring the look into the present. Add an oh-so-European faux fur hat and get ready to waltz around this castle!

8. Emerald Pool, Zion National Park

Trail walks are a bit like choosing a Quality Street with your eyes closed, sometimes you get something incredible, sometimes it's a darn waste of time. Zion National Park is full of incredible walking trails, and it will feel like you've truly struck gold when you reach the Emerald Pool.
What To Wear
Beautiful, yet ready to trek, why not head on the beaten trail in a not-so-beaten outfit? A loose printed playsuit and savvy sneakers make for an easy walk, whilst this tasselled backpack will be store your water, phone, camera and amenities **Cough** makeup.
1. Hat- ASOS 2. Bag- Princess Polly 3.Playsuit- Princess Polly 4.Trainers-Nike 5. Bikini- Missguided
9. Bigar Waterfall, Romania

Is this place even real or is it an artists interpretation of a fairy tale waterfall? Situated in Oratavita in Western Romania, this cascading diamond was recently voted the worlds most beautiful waterfall.
What To Wear
With a temperate climate averaging around 18 degrees in Spring/Summer, layering is key! A cute shirt dress with floral embroidery embraces the Eastern European vibe.
10. Waitomo Glow Worm Cave, New Zealand

Ok, I can solemnly raise my hand and say that this place does actually exist, as my other half has visited. Me? Jealous? Yes.
As you canoe through this enchanted cave, the ceiling lights up to create a natural indoor-star display. These fairy twinkles are caused by a rare species of glow worms that are no bigger than mosquitoes. Magic.
What To Wear
New Zealand can be pretty cool at times, throw in a cave and it gets a whole lot chillier. Keep the cold at bay in a light jumper and distressed jeans combo. If you're feeling a bit quirky, layer on a button up skirt too!
Which of these places makes you want to pack your bags ASAP?
