Holiday- Things I'm Bringing With Me

Hello everybodyyyy

So, It's officially 7 days until I jet off to Tenerife and ever since we booked the tickets, I knew I wanted to do a blog about it! I find these sorts of blogs interesting so that's why I'm doing one of my own. 


Picture No.1
St. Ive's Apricot Scrub
Hugo Boss Orange Body Lotion
|Ren Eye Gel
Ren Day Cream
Nivea Lip Balm
Impulse Body Spray - Loving Words
Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Varnish
Body Shop Satsuma Body Wash

Picture No.2
The Fault In Our Stars- Borrowed from dad's girlfriend
Sunglasses- Primark £2
Shoes- Topshop £5 (SALE WOOHOO)
Hat- Amazon £4.50

Picture No.5
Company Magazine- One of my favs!
Coral Bikini- H&M £8 for both pieces

Picture No.6
Floral Bikini- Topshop £36 (I think) for both pieces

Picture No.7
Bag- Present from dad's girlfriend
Phone sticker- H&M £1 (SALE AWH YEA)

These are a few of my favourite items that I'm taking with me. I don't do many posts like this but I was pretty pleased with how this one came out! I tried to colour coordinate everything cus I'm just so pro like that. With regards to holiday beauty essentials, my biggest tip is samples! They're small so you use minimal space in your luggage and I've collected foundation samples from magazines. They are so great to bring with you when going abroad because if you're pale like me, you'll find samples are always in medium skin tone. If you're in the sun, you are bound to get a tan (hopefully) and so these medium skin toned foundation samples finally come handy!

I love reading books and holiday is the perfect time to start that book you've always wanted to read. I had Eat Pray Love and The Fault In Our Stars on my holiday reading list and it just so happened that Susan (my dad's girlfriend) had it and was happy to lend it to me!

The hot pink palm leaf slip-ons, I found on the topshop.com sale. You really can't say no to £5 Topshop shoes, can you? However, as many of the reviews also state, the online picture was so deceiving. They are definitely a lot brighter in person which makes them harder to style but never the less, still fab shoes for holiday.

And last of all, I am dying to talk about my phone sticker. How beautiful is it!? It's holographic which is gunna trip me out like balls when I'm drunk, but most importantly, It was a pound. I love snakes and snake print and I'd been looking for something to jazz up my phone for a while now. Oh *funny story* I've had an I-Phone 4 now for quite a while (I know I'm behind times) and was always super envious of other people using their cute emojis on twitter. Rather shamefully, I admit on several occasions, I considered getting an I-Phone 5 JUST so that I could use emojis. But I was looking into buying a new I-Phone when I discovered I only had to download the Emoji keyboard. 'Is this a joke' I thought. I can be so stupid and out of the loop sometimes it's  u n r e a l.

Anyway, I hope you like this post!

OOTD- Pink and Floral




Hello hello hello

 So, I have a bit of a confession to make.. This is unfortunately the only OOTD that I took whilst I was up in York. *slaps own hand* I was just so busy having fun to be completely honest you. A lot of late nights, early mornings and fun packed days left me with little energy and time so I'm sorry for that. However, I do have quite a few pictures of what we got up to so I shall do another post with those pictures :) This outfit was for the first day. Loads of family came over for my cousin's birthday and we had a massive barbeque and played loads of party games. It was quite honestly probably one of the best days I've had in a long time.

Shirt: H&M
Top: New Look

OOTD- Mint Bralet




Hello cupcakes (gayyyy)

Haven't blogged in a short while due to being away in York but I took these pictures before I went, I just never got round to uploading. Naughty, I know. I must have been having an ugly day because I didn't get many photos that I liked out of the hundreds that I took but these shall have to do. This bralet is a bit iffy.. I don't have much boob to begin with and because of the cut of the top, you can't wear a bra either which sucks. I wore one anyway for this shoot but that's besides the point, okay? Because of these problems, I don't get round to wearing it much but it's still a pretty bralet none the less. This look is very pastel-y and pretty :)

Bralet: Missguided
Skirt: New Look
Shoes: River Island

Thank you for reading,
