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!

STARS BY THE SWIMMING POOL

Hiya, first all let me just start off with a sorry! These photos/posts are waaaay overdue and the reason its taken me so long is i was having trouble getting all of the videos off my camcorder onto my laptop (long story, lets not waste precious photo/outfit staring time!). And being the perfectionist that i am (with my blog & posting things that is :P), i wanted to wait until i could post it all together consecutively.

These photos were taken while i was on holiday last August, with all of my dads family. We were lucky enough to be staying in a villa (theres alot of us, so it isn't as pricey!) to ourselves in Puerto Pollensa, Majorca. Which is a really lovely place to visit if you are just wanting to relax and enjoy the sun! It has a huge Bay, and everything is pretty much situated on the beach front which is really lovely to walk along. I was so excited as i'd never been on holiday with my little brother before, due to the fact that his mum and our dad aren't together anymore so its alot harder to arrange things with him! It was basically just a chilled holiday where we all got to spend time together,  which dosent happen alot as everyone is busy with their lives back home, have time on our own as well if we wanted and to chillax. Sounds perfect right now dosent it? Oh and stuff our fat faces. Never forget the stuffing of the faces with food... Which im sure you seen all of the food photos from my instagram! I'll probably do a collage of my insta-photos when i upload my holiday video.

I didn't photograph every outfit, as i wasn't really "dressing up" too much. I wasn't really fussed about packing a fantastic wardrobe as i don't really fuss over what im wearing when im with my family. I took more smart/casual outfits that could be dressed up or down if i added the one pair of heels i took with me. I normally just pack "scruffs", which usually consist of a pair of skinny jeans and some comfy tees. But i thought i should take advantage of the awesome backdrops i would have gotten there! Im sure if i go on holiday with Chris the packing situation will be a whole lot different...


By the way it was my Uncle John who took my photos hence why they are different than usual! So weird posing for someone else...




I loved these cute old couples! Especially because they were holding hands still.











Couldn't resist snapping these little cute ones! They were wearing matching dresses as well!




Dress- Strawberry Kats orginally from Topshop but on Ebay
Bag- Vintage
Heels- Asos

OUTFIT DETAILS
I wanted to take this dress on holiday as i hadn't really had a chance to wear it yet and i thought on holiday would be a great chance to show it off. Its really light, so i wouldn't get too hot as my body really DOES NOT deal with the sun! I decided to go with white bag/heels because it has tiny white stars so i thought they would match perfectly. And the fact that they were pretty much the only bag and heels i took with me... But i did co-ordinate everything before i went :P
