Holiday Outfit~2

Following my previous post, this is also one of my favourite holiday outfits that I wore in Ibiza, I was wearing Miss Selfridge from head to toe (apart from well, my toes, which are New Look haha), and Miss Selfride is definitely one of my all time fave shops!

I wore this outfit on our trip to the Sunset Strip in San Antonio, I have to say that is definitely where the party is at on the island! Needless to say that me and my family didn't go at midnight to hit the clubs, but instead went to watch the beautiful sunset from the beach, and have drinks after at Café Mambo. 

We left around twelve (just as people started going into the clubs) and I swear I have never been in a busier bus- let alone at one in the morning!! There were so many people waiting for a bus it was ridiculous. It was busier there at that time that it is anywhere during the day!

Even putting up with this, I still had a lovely evening, and I'll include some snaps of my outfit and the Strip below :)

Holiday Outfit~1

As promised, I am going to do a few posts based on my favourite holiday outfits, the first being this one!

Although this blouse and shorts combo is not exactly a dressy or fancy outfit, I still really like it as to me it felt really summery. I wore it on our evening to Santa Eulalia, which had the most beautiful marina and views. 

I'm not sure whether it is meant to be or not, but I did try to wear this blouse (H&M) off the shoulder, as I find this is a really flattering neckline, although it did keep sliding up onto my shoulders damn it, like how it is in the pictures below haha!

I found that I really liked wearing these shorts (New Look), as unlike the majority of other denim shorts I own, they didn't leave me with a humungous gap at the back of my waist, even though they just about fit my bum! (I'm sure most of you can relate to this annoyance!) And so this meant I felt a lot more comforatble wearing them with a crop top. 

My sandals are also from New Look, but they are in fact from the kids section (well the teenager 'Generation' section to be precise) haha! But I don't care because I really love them and think they're super comfy and cute. 

Lastly, my sunglasses (being used as a headband here oops) are from Primark, and my lipstick is Kate Moss 01 by Rimmel London- which is one of my faves!

Not too sure what's happening in the last one, but it was fun at the time haha!

Please tell me I'm not the only one to have this problem with denim shorts and jeans?

Holiday Snaps!

I have just back from an absolutely amazingggg holiday in Ibiza with my family, and am now very sad to be back in Essex in the rain!! :(

The weather out there was just beautiful- although someday's I did find it felt as though the sun was physically frying my skin OUCH. But on these occasions I could simply jump right into the pool or the sea. 

I realised this holiday that floating calmly over the sea waves on a lilo is one of my all time favourite things to do, and I wish that I could just jet off to clear blue seas any time I am feeling stressed or need some relaxation time! It's so peaceful to just feel the waves moving beneath you, the sun shining down with a slight breeze in the air, and nothing but the sea and sky as your view. 

I haven't stopped flicking through the (hundreds- yep slightly over done it) pictures that I took during my week away, and so I thought I'd share a few snaps with you now. 

I am also going to do posts over the next few days showing my fave outfits; but didn't want to bombard you with dozens of pictures all at once haha!

Is it only me who takes far too many pictures than is necessary?

What's in my travel rucksack?

I don't know if it's just me (probably) but when I'm going on holiday, I just don't feel complete unless I have a very heavy rucksack attached to my back!!

This year, I found the perfect rucksack in Primark- for only £9!! What a bargain!!

It's completely white, with rose gold buckles, and is the perfect size to fit in all of my travel bits and pieces.

When flying (or any kind of travelling really) I'm one of those people who literally carry every single item I will ever need and more! Just call me Mary Poppins when it comes to fitting things inside a bag haha!

I can't go away without having a good book and magazine to read, and this time I bought 'Billy and Me' by Giovanna Fletcher, and Elle magazine, to keep me occupied during my flight or any waiting around that I will hopefully not have to endure (fingers crossed there's no flight delays!). 

I also don't like to wear a lot of makeup when travelling, especially when leaving aat 2am!! And so I have just packed minimal makeup to apply at the airport, including concealer, mascara, eyeliner, BB cream, my trusted Baby Lips in 'Cherry Me' and my Tangle Teaser hair brush. 

Also, a fan and sunglasses always come in handy when flying to a hot country, so I popped those in as well- not to mention my hand sanitiser!! 

Obviously my phone, earphones and camera (which isn't below as I'm using it to take the picture duhhh) are squished in there as well.

Anywhooo, I really hope that I haven't forgotten anything and that my bag isn't so heavy that the straps will snap!!

What are your travel necessities?

Holiday Reading

As I may have mentioned before, I am going on holiday very soon (to ibiza with my family eeeee I'm so excited!!) and I am in desperate need of some holiday books to read!

(Inserts pretty beach picture to get me even more excited-if possible!) 

When me and my family go on holiday, we're not one of those families who go sight seeing or on a treacherous adventure everyday- far from it!! We just spend our days chilling around the pool or on the beach eating ice cream (my idea of a good time YUM!) 

As this is pretty much all we do, I spend a lot of the time laying in the sun with my head engrossed in a good long book! (I often get told off by my mum for weighing down my suitcase with them oops haha!) 

But this year I am absolutely stuck for ideas on what to take!? There's not one book that I have in mind for a good read! 

So basically, this post is for me to ask you for suggestions for a good summer read! I love anything from Harry Potter to the Perks of being a Wallflower to The Faults in our stars or my recent fave You're the One that I Want by Giovanna Fletcher!! So all suggestions are welcome!

What's your favourite summer read?
