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.

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.

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!

Club Tropicana

British summer time is so confusing! One minute I feel like I'm on holiday, the next I'm dressed like its winter. I guess that's something we should have got used to by now.

A couple of weeks back I purchased this amazingly tropical jumpsuit and I'm pretty sure you guys are going to be pleasantly surprised at where it's from. Drum roll please... this go to summer look is from the Tu range at Sainsbury's. At only £22 it's great value for money and something that I'll wear for all kinds of occasions.

I don't normally shop at supermarket brands, and I don't really have a reason why, maybe I get distracted by the food, but I'm so glad I took the time to have a look around and see what was on offer.

Fingers crossed now that Manchester stays sunny, but lets be honest, the umbrellas will always have to be on hand.

So there it is! Perfect for dressing up or down and something that is going to see me through the summer whether that be in the UK or abroad.

Let me know what you guys think about supermarket fast fashion trends and if you've got a favourite that you always pick up some bargains from. I'll definitely be keeping my eye out from now on!

Dreamin' of new Kicks

I've always been on of these gals that lives in trainers. As silly as it sounds, I get scared of wearing anything else. I always seem to get blisters and sore feet from other shoes, trainers are like my safety blanket and I can trust them to get me through a busy day.

Over the past couple of months, I have got better and started to wear more boots, let's be honest, it's not quite sandal weather just yet. However, the way I see it is, there is always room for a new pair of kicks, and that is what this post is all about.

As it was my pay day yesterday, I think it's only fair I show you what's currently catching my eye.

Adidas // £45

Navy isn't a colour that I'd normally go for but I actually really like these! It's a change from black and heading into the summer it's nice to experiment with different colours while not making a dramatic change. For £45, they're a steal!

New Balance // £69.99

Adidas // £94.99

These Adidas Eqt Support Rf have got to be my favourite pair which I've featured! I'm obsessed with the colours and the whole design. Yes, they're a bit pricier than some of the others, but I believe they are completely worth it!

Superga // £59.99

 I tried these on a couple of years back and found that no matter what size I tried on, they were either too big or small for me. I'm so tempted to give them a try again though, look at that platform!

Puma Fenty // £120

 Being a massive Rihanna fan I am naturally drawn to these beauties. However, I do have one worry, being cream satin I think it's safe to say I will scuff them up one way or another. 

Nike // £66.99

Adidas // £49.99

Superstars are my go to trainer and I have gone through quite a few pairs now. These are definitely on my must buy list, everyone needs a bit of metallic in their life!

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
