Ibiza 2015

Firstly I must apologise for the lack of posts in the last few weeks but my excuse is that I've been living it up in Ibiza, unfortunately now I am back and I'll be posting regularly again to help take my mind off my Ibiza blues. This year was my first time on the island, and certainly not my last as I am already planning on going back in September for the closing parties, fingers crossed. Ibiza exceeded my expectations and its no wonder everyone raves about it and loves it so much... I'm now one of those people! Some of my holidays highlights were Ocean Beach, Zoo Project and the Pukka Up boat party. I loved getting glammed up for Ocean Beach, I had my costume planned for months, the atmosphere at the pool party was unreal and the cocktails were to die for. For Zoo Project everyone was wearing animal print body paint and glitter which was fun (till the morning after when I had to remove it - the struggle was real). This day started with a boat party which apparently lasted 3 hours, however I felt like I was on it for half an hour, I must have been very drunk but I'm not complaining, after that we went to the main event and had some BBQ food and danced around the pool before returning to the hotel to freshen up for a night on the west end, I love that place! 

I had the time of my life with one of my best friends and my only complaint is that it ended way too soon. I would do it all again along with all the other events the island has to offer, I just can't wait to go back!

My Ayia Napa Wardrobe

I have been home a week now and I have finally pulled myself together and decided its time to write a new blog post. As you can imagine I have the holiday blues and this past week I've been trying to make the most of the english weather, sunbathing with my eyes closed and pretending I'm still on holiday. I had the time of my life in Ayia Napa, I loved every minute of it, It exceeded my expectations and there was so much to do, I would definitely consider returning next year. As sad as I am to be home, I am now excited to make lots of plans for next summer and booking up the next girls holiday!

As I said I would be posting some of my holiday outfits and bikinis so here they are along with some of my favourite pictures and memories!

Thank you for reading, keep your eyes peeled for my next post which will be a follow up including my holiday beauty essentials! 

Holiday Scents

The offers at Victorias Secret are brilliant, I mixed and matched five full sized products from the VS Fantasies range and paid only $30. I have had various scents and products from this range and they are all so different and beautiful but my absolute favourite has to be 'Coconut Passion' because I really love the smell of coconut and it reminds me of being on holiday abroad. I bought 'Cocunut Passion' fragrance mist and body wash, 'Strawberries & Champagne' fragrance mist, 'Love Spell' hydrating body lotion and 'Pure Seduction' foaming body wash and shave gel. I have decided to save all of these till I go on holiday next week because I love opening lots of new products on holiday, I think it makes it even more exciting. Unfortunately I may not look like a Victorias Secret model but I will be smelling like one in Ayia Napa.

As much as I love my VS body mists I think a statement holiday fragrance is a must and 'Bronze Goddess' by Estee Lauder is on my wish list this year (in fact it was on my wish list year but I never got round to buying it). This limited edition scent returns every spring/summer and I can't wait to get my hands on it, I love everything about it the name, the packaging and most importantly the smell. This fragrance oozes summer, it is so powerful and feminine. It is descried as a 'solar floral' scent, blended with Bergamot, warm Amber, Tiare Flower and Vanilla combined with delicious creamy Coconut. 

Holiday/Beach Fashion

The countdown is almost over and my holiday is only a week away and as you can imagine I am extremely excited. My holiday wardrobe is complete and I have officially banned my self from looking at any more clothes on Instagram. I have a blog post planned for when I get back from holiday (not that I want to think about that) which will include my holiday outfits, but for now here is a sneak peek of some of the colours, patterns and textures I will be wearing...

As you can see my holiday wardrobe is like a cocktail of bright colours,  gem stones and diamantes, but I am not willing to give it all away yet. Instead I thought I would put together some of my favourite celebrity beach looks I have found whilst browsing the web... 

Vanessa White (The Saturdays) posted this picture on her Instagram which I believe is a look from a new music video she is shooting. This picture immediately caught my eye, I love the colours, jewellery, headband  - everything! It is definitely a look I would go for! 

I have been buying lots of kaftans and kimonos this year, I think they are a holiday necessity. From the above pictures we can see that Kim certainly knows how to create the perfect bikini/cover up combination! 

This yellow dress looks beautiful against Rihannas skin tone

I could have included so many images of Rihanna looking flawless at the beach but I narrowed it down to these two. In the first image she pulls of an extremely vibrant yellow maxi dress which looks beautiful against her skin tone. In the second image Rihanna goes for a laid back look as she wears shades of blue in a tassel and cut out bikini, a straw hat, natural beachy waves and a vidid red lipstick.

In My Wardrobe: Summer Jumpsuit

Jumpsuit - Chic Boutique Darlington 

Shoes - Bank 

I love this jumpsuit I wore recently for a night out in Newcastle. It is a perfect summer ensemble with a beautiful vibrant print, another thing I love about this jumpsuit is that it its encrusted with rhinestones which unfortunately you can't see on the pictures. Not only does it look great with heels but it looks just as great with flat sandals or flip flops which makes it perfect for a night out on holiday, this year I am going to Ayia Napa and I will definitely be packing this in my case. Jumpsuits are not only on trend but they are so comfortable, I am starting to like them more than dresses. 

Earrings - Ebay 

Necklace - Mikey at House of Fraser
