Ibiza Rocks!

I'm not going to lie, when the girls first asked me if I wanted to go to Ibiza with them this year I said no, when they told me Bastille were playing I found myself £500 down and booking a week off work. 

In the run up to this holiday I was forever telling people I'd only be going the once with no intention of coming back. But when our week came to an end I was very reluctant to get on the plane home.

From planning all my evening outfits and hammering them out on Instagram (apologies) to making friends with the man at the kebab shop, I can honestly say I've had one of the best weeks of my life.

Co-ord Top and Skirt - Missguided // Trainers - As Before

And let's not forgot about the whole reason I booked this holiday in the first place, Bastille. As we stayed at the Ibiza Rocks Apartments ticketed events at the main hotel were included in our stay so we could just stroll up the road whenever we felt like it really.

I've seen Bastille around 5 times now and I still can't get enough. It was the perfect opportunity to see them preform in such a small environment which I think are the best gigs you can go to. They never disappoint and I'm so incredibly happy that wanting to see them led me to having an amazing holiday with the girls.

Kimono - H&M // Swimsuit - River Island // Flatforms - Office

We booked quite a lot of our events before we went, meaning we got to make the most of our time there! Our first day was spent at Ocean Beach which was amazing, but very expensive. If you are thinking about going I would highly suggest paying for a bed. It is a lot of money but you do get the majority of that back to spend on food and drinks. I would recommend taking even more though because the cheapest bottle of Vodka is 275 euros, so you're going to need some extra spending money!

As the week went on we also attended My House by Martin Solveig at Pacha, Craig David's TS5 Pool Party and Radio 1 in Ibiza at Hi Ibiza! I am sorry for the lack of photos from these events, I was simply having too much of a good time!

Dress - New Look

So what was meant to be a 'you've got to do it once holiday' I think it's safe to say I will be returning next year!

Summer means Swimwear!

We may only have a couple of weeks left for this British summertime but the sun is always shining somewhere and let's face it, it's more often somewhere other than the UK!

I don't know about you guys but I feel like there is so much good swimwear out this year so I thought I'd share my top 5 favourites with you!

First up!

Stripe Heaven from Asos

£22

I'm not the only blogger lovin' this swimsuit and its not hard to see why! With a plunging neckline and crossover back it's flattering and bound to have you looking amazing on the beach! There's something so simple about this style but I think that's why it looks so great.

Missguided does Marble

£20

This is one of two Missguided swimwear pieces to feature on this post. I'm literally obsessed with what they have on offer right now. Marble is one of my favourite prints and I'm clearly not the only one as this is currently only available in a size 14. There is one little thing I'm not mad keen and that's the briefs. I'm not so much of a fan of having this much bum out personally but I don't have anything against anyone who is confident enough to pull this off!

Hello H&M

Top // £8.99 - Bottoms // £8.99

I feel like this is the least 'dressy' set but that can always be a good thing. When you're on holiday you want to wear something comfortable but still looks good. I always feel like bikini's are always good for that desired sun tan. The lace up detail makes it that little bit more girly alongside the coral colours. Perfect for lying around the pool in or going on adventures in the sea, just make sure the big waves don't steal your bottoms!

Missguided Strikes Again

£28

First things first, these eyelets are amazing! Being strapless means no strap marks! This beauty comes in a range of colours so if you're wanting something a little bit brighter than black, then Missguided have you covered. I think this style is so flattering and perfect for anyone who isn't too keen on showing their tum.

Red Hot in River Island

£28

Now I have saved the best til last! This is my favourite of all the ones I've chosen, so much so that it came to Ibiza with me last week! This is the costume that I chose to wear to Ocean Beach so it's kind of a big deal! I love everything about this one especially the tie at the front! Not the best for tan lines but who cares when it looks so good!

The colour is something completely different for me too but I love it! For me it shouts out summer and is definitely going to stand out!

So there you go! I'm currently sat recovering from the best week in Ibiza and wondering where I want to jet off to next. Stay tuned for my Ibiza post where I'll be filling you in with everything I got up to!

Festival Favs

It's officially my second favourite time of the year, after Christmas of course! Yes I am talking about festival season!

Last month it all kicked off with Radio 1's Big Weekend in Hull, since then there's been Parklife and Glastonbury but we've still got lots to look forward to.

This is the first year since I can remember that I haven't actually got a ticket to a festival. I'm not sure what quite happened this year, but that doesn't mean I can't window shop at all the amazing pieces which are out there!

So if you're still struggling for something to wear this festival season then hopefully my favourite picks will give you a bit of much needed inspiration!

Asos // £14

Boohoo // £18

At £18 this dress is perfect for those UK festivals that let's face it, can get pretty chilly at night! Team this up with bold hair accessories and you've got yourself a simple yet on trend look!

Motel Rocks // £50

Sequins are one of my favourite things when it comes to festival and this dress is just perfect! It's not the cheapest at £50 but something you can always relay on to get you through the summer.

Hunter // £99.99

Hunter wellies may be expensive but are an amazing investment and once you have them you'll not to have worry about parting with any more money for wellies every couple of years. When it comes to buying pieces like this I like to stay safe, yes those bright colours look great but will you still feel that way about them in a couple of years time? My advice, stick with black and not only will they go with all your outfits, they'll also fit the trend.

Misspap // £20

Pretty Little Thing // £12

I think these trousers are insane! For £12 they are an absolute bargain and can be taken on your next holiday too!

Pretty Little Thing // £18

Stradivarius // £9.99

I'm really lovin' the western vibes at the minute and a belt can be a great little addition to change your outfit up.

The Gypsy Shrine // £8

The Gypsy Shrine seems to be everywhere at the moment and I'm really not surprised why! They have so many jewels to choose from and give you that extra glam look even when you're coated in mud.

Topshop // £38

Zara // £25.99

Missguided // £45

Hats off to you if you're lucky enough to get your hands on this amazing sequin dress. Every time Missguided announce that this is back in stock its sold out before you know it. My advice to you, keep checking back everyday and I've got my fingers crossed for you.

Return of the Hoodie

There are so many trends that I am lovin' for S/S17 and every time the sun decides to come out I get a little bit too excited that I no longer have to wrap up warm!

I am a massive lover of big sleeves at the minute, even though they tend to get in the way a lot (particularly when driving), but they're definitely proving to be worth it. There's something about them that just makes me feel extra sassy and I wish all my wardrobe had that effect on me.

Now you might recognise this hoodie from my previous post. As I have said before I am not normally one for hoodies but this one is a dream! With a mix of the super sleeves and cropped detailing I think it looks pretty feminine and can be styled up to nail the sports luxe trend.

Teamed up with another great trend this season, the demin skirt it can be dressed down like here with your favourite trainers or dressed up with some killer heels. Either way I think this look is a winner!

S/S '17 Favs

First things first, I would like to apologise for taking so long getting my next post up! Lots has been going on and I've recently started a new job which I am lovin'! I promise, no more blog slackin', I am back on it!

Now that that's out of the way, let's get to it! Yesterday was officially the first day of Spring and I am so ready to start dressing for it! Now that the sun is finally making an appearance, I thought it'd be a great time to share with you some of my favourite trends for Spring/Summer '17!

THINK PINK

Until recently I haven't be one for anything pink, or really girly. I don't know what but something has changed and now I can't get enough of it, and thankfully it's so in style this season! Now I'm more of a blush pink gal at the moment, but who knows, maybe in a couple of weeks time I'll be totally into fuchsia too, I'm not making any promises though!

Zara // £9.99

Another obsession of mine recently, slogan tees.

Whistles // £95

Missguided // £35

Warehouse // £59

Topshop // £19

SPORTS LUXE

Something that you're all going to learn very quickly is that I love the sports look. If I could, I would live in trainers, unfortunately I can't. Luckily for me, Sports Luxe is in this season so it is finally acceptable to go to work in trackie bottoms!

Missguided // £22

I've not bought a hoodie in years but this is super comfy, the sleeves are incredible and the cropped detail means it'll look good with pretty much anything.

Topshop // £12

Warehouse // £35

Asos // T- Shirt £23

Adidas // £64.99

I'm one of those people who will wear their trainers until they fall apart. I believe I need to stop doing this and just have a constant supply.

 RUFFLES

This is a trend that I find really hit and miss. I love it when it's a sleeve detail, or a ruffle on the skirt. But there are some I'm not keen on, such as massive ruffles in the middle of a top, but each to their own! I think this look is so perfect for Spring/Summer and adds a feminine feel to any outfit.

Lavish Alice // £56

Asos // £42

Missguided // £25

Mango // £35.99

I got some trousers just like this from Zara last year and they are such a good investment!

Lavish Alice // £86
