OOTD | Barcelona Outfits No. 6

Hey Everyone!

How are you all? I am glad to reach the end of my holiday outfit posts- perhaps next year I'll just add them all into a collaborative video or something? Anyway, to finish, I have an evening outfit.

Woot check out my exotic looking background- I'm really going up in the world :)

In this picture I'm actually in the very centre of the city- just off La Rambla at these beautiful fountains. The royal blue dress is from H&M and I think it was £12.99 or £14.99. I paired it with these really simple Primark sandles and red lipstick. I like how this dress is perfect for a party or special occasion yet is also ideal for just walking around shopping or going out for dinner. It kept me really cool and thankfully there were no Marilyn Monroe moments while I was beside the sea. So all good on the flashing front :)

OOTD | Barcelona Outfit No.5

Hey Everyone!

I have another daytime holiday outfit for you today- and its going to be the second last one! Woot I'll be glad to draw the holiday posts to an end and focus on reviews and stuff. But you might have actually noticed that lately I've really been liking writing wishlist posts and making videos. The only thing I have to do is make them more consistent!

Aha I'm not sure why I've just got my top button done- must of been sporting the granny look :)

I got this navy dress from Primark for only £6 and the cardigan for £5. Don't ask about the hat. I hate hats. Anyway, I thought this was a great daytime look just for walking around and shopping. I am also quite surprised at how these colours actually go well together. As you can see I'm also pulling off the bobble-as-a-bracelet look; I'm so well put together ;)

Ah looking at this scenery makes me want to go back so much! I was thinking that even though this was only a couple of weeks ago it seems like an age! Its so weird to think that I was there in the sun with the palm trees behind me and now I'm back home with rain, rain, and more rain.

Do you like this as a daytime look?

Instagram | The Last Few Weeks In Pictures 2

Hey Everyone!

Well, I think I have finally found a posting series I can do every week without running out of ideas or getting bored- yep I'm looking at you Saturday Shopping and Tuesday Tip! At the moment I am loving instagram- I know it sounds cheesy but it helps you appreciate the small things in life and is a kind of diary of sorts. I'm one of those people who looks back and thinks hm I didn't do a lot this week but by looking at instagram I think oh I actually did heaps! So these are some pictures from the past week.

OOTD | Barcelona Outfit No.4

Hey Everyone!

It really does look like these outfits are spanning the whole summer- argh! Perhaps I'll just write them all really quick and post 2 a day?

This is another outfit I wore to the beach. This is my number one summer outfit- very fresh and light. The oranges and warm browns are also very appropriate in the sun. The top and shorts (I know, they look like a skirt) are from H&M last year and the cardigan, sunglasses and belt are from Primark (still available). Although it was hot, I sometimes wore a cardigan to the beach for extra sun protection. I also often scraped my hair back into this kind of bun to keep it off my face and neck and to keep me cool (tutorial here). I really like this outfit as it matches so well but its a shame that it only really makes an appearance once a year- on holiday.

Do you like it?

OOTD | Barcelona Outfit No. 3

Hey Everyone!

This is my new playsuit from Primark and is what I wore on an evening out for dinner as it is quite dressy. 

I absolutely love it and it was only around £15. It has beautiful gold collar tips, lovely shimmery white and gold buttons, a blouse-like top and contrasting shorts. I want to get as much wear out of this as possible because I'm not sure how well it will translate to winter, though I guess it could make a return in summers to come. The only thing I don't like about it was that if you button it right up to the collar you can't sit down (I tried and it hurt) which is why I left a few buttons. Nevertheless, I would definetely recommend getting this its so cute and would be lovely for special occasions/ nights out. The flip flops were £1.90 from Primark and were good for the price as they went with pretty much everything and were comfortable. However, I binned them before I left because I tripped over my foot one day and the toe got all scuffed. But I got enough use out of them for the price.

I'm planning on doing my holiday OOTDs in a kind of beach/daytime/night time order so that it doesn't get too repetitive. Its weird, I normally do outfit posts like once a month and recently there's a new one every few days! That's what happens when I go on holiday- I'm beginning to think these posts will span the entire summer!
