LIFESTYLE: Holiday Essentials - Travel

Monday, 19 May 2014


So its getting closer and closer and soon Andrew and I will be starting to pack for our holiday! Last night I was laying in bed thinking about all the things I need to pack and what I will be needing on a day to day basis when I'm actually out exploring in the day. Here's my first thoughts and what I came up with, I'm sure I will be thinking of new things to add every day haha
 The Bag

I know for sure that my Zatches Satchel* will be my big bag that comes with me in the day as there will be allot of things that I will want to keep on me! It's big, strong and sturdy as well as having very secure fastenings which is something I imagine I might need in Bangkok. Its been made out of a high quality holographic leather and has a long across body strap so I don't have to think about holding it! I think it's super cute and I cant wait to use it every day!

 Cameras and Technology

First things first, my phone comes everywhere with me, I would just be totally lost without and it is the only one that I really do need, the rest are all just nice extras or back up haha. I will be using it for wifi on the go as hopefully I will be able to find some in cafes or just on the street. I will also be mainly using it for photos as I love being about to upload them straight from there and to be honest, the quality is about the same as the digital camera which I'm just bringing along as a back up! My phone case of choice this time is my new personalised one from Mr Nutcase*! I picked four of my favourite photos of Andrew and I!

This one I wasn't too sure about, do I want to take a tablet? Probably not my Ipad, maybe my HP tablet, or maybe neither? There is no urgency for me to bring either as I used them both just the same as my phone, but it would be nice to have a bigger screen for when we're in the hotel room or relaxing by the pool or beach, what do you guys think? One thing I do know is that if  either of them come on holiday with me, they will be staying in my new very padded FYT&Co. tablet case* to keep them safe.

My little green Ipod will be a must for the very long plane journey and lazing by the beach! I seem to be the only person who still has an iPod but I love it! All of it's music is over 5 years old and I cant update it as my old laptop with all the music is gone so that's how it will stay! I may also bring along my cheap new mp3 player so I can listen to some new music as well haha 

and the most exciting thing for me is definitely my new baby blue Polaroid camera*! I have had it for a while but haven't set it up yet and am trying to save the film for Thailand as its quite expensive I have been collecting film wherever I can (Amazing vouchers, Jessop's, Ebay) in the lead up so I have loads for the whole holiday, I want to make a cute little album at the end. 
Sunglasses
I'm going to need sunglasses so my lovely new Ray Bans* will be coming along with me, I normally wear aviators every day when I'm away but sometimes fancy a change so I will be taking the round ones too which I got from Next!

Theres also spare contact lenses and a purse!

Can You Think Of Anything Else That I Will Need?

FASHION: Day And Night With DUO Boots

Wednesday, 30 April 2014


I have been a fan of DUO boots for a while now after being contacted a couple of years ago about a competition they were running as I was very pleased to hear from this again recently about a new competition! The aim of the game is to style one pair of boots for the day and the same boots for the evening! Check out how I did it!

Both outfits are pretty similar in the bottom half but if you follow my blog you will know that I wear my new black jeans with absolutely everything, day or night - Shopping, clubbing, dinner?! They are also pretty similar in the face and hair but that's just me, I only ever wear eyeliner and have my hair down, Unless I get really hot in the club, then I just tie it up!

So my first outfit is pretty casual which is just how I like my day time outfit, this really is a shoppingat Lakeside and lunch at Pret kind of look! I've got a comfy little tee and my big satchel to keep all my stuff in plus the boots are super comfy so great for walking around all day.

Now I though I might have a little trouble for the evening as I normally go out in heels but I just put together a normal clubbing look for me and added the boots rather than a chunky pair of heels and they look just as good, minus the sore feet at the end of the night! I though since the whole outfit was rather black it would be a nice idea to add some of my coloured Swarovski crystal bracelets and I'm ready for my evening. I normally go bag-less and just keep my phone and cards in my pockets!

FASHION: Thailand Style With Zatchels, Motel Rocks and Converse

Tuesday, 22 April 2014


Andrew photographed this look for me yesterday and I just love it. It is definitely going to be one of the outfits that I will be taking to Thailand with me. I had a bit of a scary realisation the other day that all of my summer clothes are crop tops and although that has been fine for England, and Maga and every where else I have been it might not be right for Thailand especially for visiting the temples and stuff like that. So this dress is one of the few outfits that I have started collecting that are a little more modest!

I also realised that I am going to need a big, strong bag - walking around the markets and doing all the kind of stuff in Bangkok! I was gifted this Zatchels satchel and it's perfect! It's a very sturdy, thick, leather and very safe with its two buckely bits. I'm going to need to keep all my stuff in there as well as Andrews, so it's a great size - Sunglasses, water, wallets, cameras, emergency snacks haha I also love its super cute holographic design - I found it in the kids section!

The whole outfit is finished off with my new pair of white converse which I am also planning to wear quite alot on holiday. As much as I love sandals I am quite scared about being in a new country with open toe shoes. I'm a bit weird like that haha I don't like wearing sandals when I go into London as I am scared that someone will stand on my toes so I'm pretty sure I will be spending all my time in Bankok in these!

P.S I'd love if you could vote for me in the Matalan Style Challenge this month!
