HOLIDAY OUTFITS

HELLO ALL,

I have been so excited to write this post that I've been a rebel and I'm posting out of order! (from the list I have)
So if you read my last post you'd know that in the summer holidays I went to America for 2 weeks, specifically New York for 3 days, Orlando for 7 and Clearwater beach for 2 then on the final day we travelled home. I thought it would be fun to show what I wore each day, because my outfits got me really excited and if you go away in the future then some of there bits of clothing you NEED to get! They're so good for the heat! (and believe me it's so hot)
Just to disclaim everything I'm not showing off and nothing I wore is designer (if primarny is designer excuse me), I seriously don't have enough money to buy fancy stuff, however much I wish I did!

That guy is so jel of my amazing tan....

DAY 1 - TRAVELLING TO NYC AND ROCKAFELLA

So to travel in I wore some floaty trousers from H&M which were about £8 and this black peplum top that was about £6 from New Look. FLOATY TROUSERS (FT'S in my family) ARE AMAZING! I seriously recommend wearing them if your travelling because they give you breathing room but also keep you warm on the flight ( as it gets quite chilly) and so many other people wear them!
After a 3 hour delay and an 8 hour flight (with NO TV's....so boring) I thought I was going to melt in the taxi! So once at the hotel I left the top on and put some high waisted denim shorts on that are from H&M for £12.99
And finally I was wearing some flat pumps from TKMAX and my bag is just a cheap one from primark that's big enough to fit my camera in but not huge!

Excuse my weird pose and knees...I am not photogenic

Day 2 - BOAT RIDE AND TIMES SQUARE AND BROADWAY

So I clearly woke up that morning with a desire to ruin my feet. Legit if you go to New York DO NOT wear sandals! Wear trainers or comfy shoes for walking in because my feet were wet, and ruined! However I do love these sandals, they're from primark for about £6 maybe? but they're normally really nice to wear but it's just because we did so much walking.
I decided to wear this dress from primark that's £5 (but now they're on sale for £3 because it's out of season) as it's floaty and kept me cool as well as looking really pretty!
 Also when it's wet (it rained a lot that day) it doesn't go see-through due to the pattern on the top half and it's thin, so perfect for the hot weather!

Day 3 - EMPIRE STATE AND 9/11

Why do my knees always look so scrumpled up? WHY?! Seriously first world problems
Anyway, this day I felt like wearing a pretty skirt because it's so good at keeping you cool! This skirt has a really pretty and unique deign on and the blue and white go so well together! It was about £10 in the Next sale last year!
For a top I wore this scoop neck one from misguided (£5) which is made of a really weird fabric or material, I cant quite explain it but it's really nice to wear. This top is also great because you can wear it with just about anything!

Day 5 - SHOPPING IN ORLANDO

(day 4 we travelled again and because I'm a mong I wore the same as before)

I LOVE THIS OUTFIT! So on our first day in Orlando it was a bit damp and rainy so we decided to go shopping! (ooooo shopping is the best...my dad would disagree)
The reason I love this outfit is because I've had these shorts for over a year now and I've only worn them TWICE! They need some more loving! They're really cool because they're not denim they're like trouser material with a really cool black&white checkered design. They're from H&M and were £12.99 and they're highwaisted!
On the top I wore this floaty black vest top from Topshop's range last year (they do vest tops every year) and it was about £6!
For shoes I wore my flat pumps again from TKMAX, they're so cool because they have fur on and they're so soft and amazing.

Day 6 - DOWNTOWN DISNEY

These dungershorts give me lyfeeee! They were from primark last year for about £12 and they're so comfy and the pockets are huge so you can easily fit your phone or purse or whatever in them! I just went for the bag as my camera is so big! I paired the dungershorts with this bardoe (I think that's what its called?) style top that were really in last year and I still LOVE them! I think the strips add a bit of jazz to the simple look! Mine was from H&M for £4 I think!

ooooooo look at that straaaaaaw

omg why am I so pale

 Day 7 - UNIVERSAL

PLAYSUIT LOVE! Seriously if you want something that can be casual or fancy that's also comfy, playsuits are the way to go! ( I put two pics so you can see the front and the back) This one is from primark (£5) and it's a burnt orange kind of colour with bluey green patterns over it, I think it's really pretty!
I also paired it with some black converse that I got from an outlet shop whilst there (on deal for £50 but got them for £35 hehehehe) and they're honestly the best shoes ever! They will look good with anything and are soooooo comfy!

when you about to sneeze

Day 8 - MORE SHOPPING

On this day it was sooooo hot and we were going to a GIANT book store and TARGET and then another outlet store where I spent so much money! (by half way through the book store my hair was in a ponytail because damn it's hot!) This dress is actually the orange version of the blue one I had on in New York. It's quite bright but was actually really nice looking - it looks better on that on the hanger. Again, it's so comfy and keeps you cool through out the day when it's hot

MINION!

Day 9 - UNIVERSAL DAY 2

MORE FLOATY CLOTHES! These shorts are my life! I bought these from Forever 21 at the outlet store and they were $12.99 and that's less than a tenner in pounds! They're so soft and go with lots of different types of tops! I just wore a plain white vest top that's also from forever 21.
For shoes I was wearing my new Addidas trainers with mint green accents (from the outlet store for around $35)
I LOVE this outfit because it's so easy to stay cool and looks so pretty!



Day 10 - TRAVELLING

So for travelling we drove from Orlando to Clearwater (about 2 hours) and I actually worse another playsuit from New look about 5 years ago! But it's orange again and is a bit more floaty.

ikr I'm so tanned + thunder thighs!

CUTE DOLPHIN

Day 11 - BEACH DAY

So it's safe to say by the end of this day I was bright red and it was so painful! Even after so much suncream I was still burnt!
So my bikini is a fake triangl but it looks identical! So I got this from the website 'AliExpress' and it was only about $18! Instead of $70 which real ones are! And the sizing on the website is so much better than Triangl's! It's really comfy to wear however it does flat about a little bit and if you're swimming it will fall off! So I think I should have got a smaller size!

So when I was walking around or for tea I just put on this stripy scoop neck top from New Look sale that was £4 and the shorts are Hollister and I honestly have no idea how much they were as they were a present!

Day 12 - BEACH SHOPPING AND SUNSET

On this day I was burnt, and sore and red all over, so I needed to wear something loose and cooling. So I wore this peach skater skirt from New Look 2 years ago (£6) and this top also from new look that has chunky straps that was about £11 I think! This outfit was really comfy and I think it looked quite pretty as well!
I wore flip flops as well because they were comfiest and kept my burnt feet from hurting! They're from AeroPostal 4 years ago and sorry I cannot remember the price!
My sunglasses that appear often, are from cole hann and were £13.99 instead of £80 at TKMAX!

in the evening we went out for dinner and to watch the sunset on the beach, which was amazing! So I decided to wear this playsuit which is from ARK (£15) And it's weird because it has a silky inside lining and a netty outside thing on it (im sorry its hard to describe) and it's really pretty and super easy to wear formally or casually!
Again paired with the same flip flops and a French plait!


SO that's all my outfits from holiday! To travel home in I simply wore a tshirt and leggings with a big hoodie!

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed and possibly get some inspiration for outfits you could wear!

SUMMER ESSENTIALS

Hello all!

So the summer holidays are officially over for me! (cries) I had one of the best holidays ever and I didn't have time to do any blog posts! So I thought a good one to do would be my essentials on holiday! I have a lot of things that I thought were really useful for travel in general or the specific place I went. (America)
My essentials very from makeup bits to books, music etc. so lets get started

Books
For me books are essential because when you're in a car or a plane and you have nothing to do you can read! on our first 8 hour flight there were no TV's so reading was really good and gets rid of a lot of time!
The two favourite books I read on holiday were The third in the maze runner series called 'The death Cure' and the second in the unwind series called 'Unwholly' (legit best series every you need to read this)

Colouring book + Pens
Like the books, I loved colouring on the plane and THESE PENS OMGGGG! They're amazing (from muji). I love colouring it's really calming and relaxing and extremely satisfying when you colour the whole thing in!

Sleepy wings
I. AM. OBSESSED. This game is my new obsession. I went on this all the time and still do because it's so fun and addictive and I've gotten to a really high level. so deffo get this game if you want to easily skip some time.

Nail varnish
I think that this is essential for holidays as if you have your flip flops on you don't want people seeing ya nakes toes and personally I think it's great to add some colour to your pinkies! My two favourites were this bright pink from jack wills and the bright mint green from kiko! They also make you look really tanned, as they're light so it's great for vampires like me!

Eyeshadow Pallet
Pallets are great for holiday because they take up less room and everything is in one place! Also I didn't want to take my chocolate bar pallet or any other expensive ones in case they broke on the plane, so I bought this one by makeup revolution from superdrug for £4!
The quality is amazing and it's actually a dupe for the naked pallet, so it's perfect for every occasion! Deffo need to get some more of these!

Lip balm
When you go to hot countries, its important to stay hydrated, and for me my lips are the first thing to get cracked and dry and gross! So I always make sure to have a lip balm on me and my favourites were Vaseline and an eos as they are easy to use and fit easily in a bag or pocket! Also they both have special formulas that help to fix your lips!

Waterproof Mascara
I looooove this stuff! Obviously makeup melts off in the heat and everytime I laugh I cry so I thought a waterproof mascara would be a good idea! This one is from essence and it was only £2.50 and the wand is really good and adds loads of volume and still stays on all day! I even went in the ocean and the pool and it didn't smudge at all! also it comes off without scrubbing as well! So all around perfection in a mascara!

After sun
Finally for my summer essentials I have aftersun! I burn like a piece of paper in a fire (even with factor 70 on) so this is essential to make sure I don't damage my skin. Of course I wear a lot of suncream but the sun can still harm you with it on. So this particular one was really good because it wasn't too thick but was still cooling and refreshing! Also after sun is amazing for keeping that bit on tan you do get! (even if its just on your shoulders like me!)


I hope everyone had a good summer and enjoyed reading my post! What's your favourite summer essential??

Thanks for reading :)
