LONG AWAITED HOLIDAY VIDEO!

Hiya guys :P Please excuse my recent absence! Ill talk about that in more detail another time but, for now, here is a 20 minute video from my holiday last August with my family. They aren't in it just because they are all from a generation where they don't understand or get the internet... They are fairly shy and i'm going to respect the fact that they don't want to be online! Not everyone is accepting with showing their face to the world :P

I hope you enjoy it as much as i did going through all the clips & putting it together!



Also, here are all my insta-photos from the week, i didn't put them up with my holiday posts (which will all be linked down below) so i could pair them with the video!

THE LAST OF THE SUMMER EVENINGS

So this is the last of my holiday outfit posts. Tomorrow i will try and get my holiday video up with a collage of instagram photos, but i'm not promising anything! I have no idea how many clips i have to go through yet alone how long they are. So it could take a while! But i am pretty determined to get it done so we will see. I'm not sure if i'm going to do a few more posts with photography or not. If you all want me to, then please let me know down below! 

I think this outfit is from ether the last or second day, which will have been ether the thursday after everyone (apart from my Grandma shes afraid of the water) went out on a rented boat for the day or when we all sat on the beach front and watched as the boys/men went fishing. They were really great days as it was really nice to spend all day with each other. There were wooden benches and tables so if you wanted to go and take a picnic or order some food you could. Over to the left of us, there were a couple of spanish families (could have all been related we weren't really sure) just sitting together relaxing and talking with all the children playing together. They also had a MASSIVE paella dish where they all just helped themselves to some when they wanted. It was sooo nice! Its a shame you aren't able to do that over here, just get a group of people together and head somewhere nice. Of course its to do with the british weather! 

I'm convinced people would go out more and exercise more if the weather was good. Of course you would be more likely to walk the 5 minutes than take the car if the sun was out shinning. It isn't the most enjoyable experience if the wind is nearly knocking you over and rain is battering your face as well as it being freezing!


This is where my brother and that went to fish, right to the end!









Kaftan- Next












Top- Primark
Skirt- Ebay
Wedges- River Island
Sunglasses- Asos

OUTFIT DETAILS
This last outfit was pretty much thrown together. I wore the wedges as i had started to get sores from my heels... and these are soooo comfy! As well as giving me the height i crave :P I thought it all worked quite well together, especially considering it really wasn't planned until that night!

THE SUN HAS GOT ITS HAT ON

Hiya guys, heres my 2nd post from my holidays! Silly me should have posted this one first though... then the star dress second. Not that it really matters but im a bit of a perfectionist with my blog and like everything to be done in order no matter how small it is! I know i shouldn't really care as the posts are months late... But what can i say? Its a pet hate of mine :P I wish i could have given you a day by day run through of what i did but i really can't remember! I am putting a video at the end of my posts so i will have a clearer memory of what i done then. 

There were days where i just wondered off myself and found a cute little cafe to have a bite to eat and a nice ice cold drink. I quite enjoy going off myself and exploring. I find the idea of going off and maybe getting lost a little bit exciting and cool. I want to try and get on the off beaten track with no tourist as much as possible. I want to see the "real local area" not just the side put on for us foreigners ;) Obviously i would always do it the safest way possible, if i was in an area of a country where tourists just didn't go, then it would not be on the top of my list to be an out of town person just wondering around without any knowledge of the local country or language. Im not prejudice against anyone, just thats common sense. Even if i was in an english speak country, there would still be places where it would not be safe for a tourist to venture into. And safety comes first people! 

I really enjoyed being with my little brother for a whole week, the most time i've spent with him really is a weekend. So its an un-usual experience to be "living" with him for a week. It was great though, as i found we got quite close during our time together. I noticed changes in the way he was with me, he was wanting to play with me a lot and be on my side and in a "team" which is so un-usual for him and a big step! Its normally him, my dad and my uncle (which means they always end up ganging up on me!) as i'm the only girl in the house when i go down... So naturally he wants to be with the MEN *to be read in a gruff manly mans voice... :P* 

Again these photos were not by Chris! These ones were taken by my Auntie Debbie, dont think she did too bad to be honest! The rest are mine though, the ones without me in them ;)







Walked by these everyday! They were gorgeous, loads of trees with them.

















Hat- H&M
Dress- Punky Fish at New Look
Heels- Zara
Bag- Vintage

OUTFIT DETIALS
I thought this would be a really nice lady/elegant look. I love these designs of dresses as i find them so girly and easy to style. As well as being really comfortable! Plus ladies, they hide your food babies when you go out for a meal! Which is a huge plus for me, my tummy just doubles in size anytime i eat... With the styling i did want to go for a "ladies day at the races" kind of look, as i reallyyy love this had and thought id be probably wearing a hat alot due to the bright sun, also i wanted to go full on black and white monochrome. So added my simple black sandals and the vintage white bag to match the white polkadots!
