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!

FASHION: Cami Top, Shorts and Black Birkenstocks

Sunday, 18 May 2014


The weather today has been amazing! Andrew, Molly and I have been sitting out in it all day in my  garden which has been a really nice way to spend the day! I woke up at Andrews this morning after spending the day there yesterday watching football and eating pizza with all the guys - we wanted to do something nice with our day today since I was so bored yesterday haha.

We decided to buy a load of food on the way back to mine and sit and eat out in my newly finished garden! We now have the table and umbrella set up on the decking so were just about finished! Andrew bought so much chicken, I got some olives and bits and pieces to eat it with and lots of mango juice which is my new love! After that, the ice cream man drove past the house as he does every day so we got ice cream tooooo, now I'm writing this thinking about what I'm going to eat for dinner since my parents are our and I want something yummy, always hungry haha

For the first time this year, I was actually hot and happy to wear shorts and a crop top without worrying about being too cold! Although I did get my hoodie out a couple of hours later haha I also got to wear one of my two brand new pairs of Birkenstocks, the way those things mold to your feet is just so comfy!
 
Sorry about the quality of these photos, I though my SLR had died (I was not happy) but then I realised it was just a dead battery - phew.

FASHION: Motel Rocks, ASOS, Ray Bans and Crocs Boat Shoes

Friday, 16 May 2014


Crocs? You read it right, in this outfit, I am in fact wearing a pair of Crocs, although you wouldn't recognise them for the huge rounds mules they were released in 2002. I had a silver pair with flower accessories pushed into the little holes and even at the time I didn't like wearing them haha they were a savour though out my spine op though, so so comfy, definitely not going to slip on the hospital floor and so easy to slip on when it was already taking 15 minutes to get to the toilet haha. 

After my operation, I never really saw or heard of Crocs again, they were gone.. or so I thought haha. The next time I saw them was when they opened a shop at Westfield Stratford, I spend so much time there I wouldn't have missed a new shop opening! It was full of all sorts of shoes, crocs are no longer a big clumpy mule but they do cute little sandals, boots, even heels and of course, the boat shoes featured in today's post, which are just as comfy, non slips and easy to wear as the originals! These will be great for a day at the beach or a water park but this time, this time I just wore them for lunch with Andrew.

LIFESTYLE: Malibu X Sera Ulger

Thursday, 15 May 2014

Malibu has always been a perfect summer time drink, anything that remotely resembles coconut makes me dream of summer and I love to drink Malibu especially with pineapple juice, can you get any more tropical, all I need now is a hollowed out coconut to drink it out of. I'm going to be on the hunt for one when Andrew and I go to Thailand this summer.

This year, Malibu have collaborated with an up and coming designer called Sera Ulger. (You may recognise the bottle from my post about the Motel Rocks event?) She has designed a super amazing summery Limited Edition Bottle and also a cute capsule collection including a tote bag, silk scarf and snap back hat to match!

One word I always use to describe Malibu is exotic and that is exactly what Sera has incorporated into this new bottle! She used the wings of a tropical parrot and turned in into this pretty design .I love the bright prinks and oranges mixed with hints of green.

What Do You Drink Malibu With?

Malibu is yummy but remember to drink responsibly!

FASHION: Gig Style + GIVEAWAY

Wednesday, 14 May 2014

  I was recently contacted to see what kind of gig I like to go to and what sort of things I wear for them! They sent me a Ticketmaster gift card and a clothes voucher to get me started and have also offered me on of each for one of my readers so make sure to enter the raffelcopter for a chance to win some for yourself!

Now, I may have grown out of my Emo phase but it's still my music of choice and I still love to go back to my old style every now and again so I am waiting for a band that I love to pop up on the ticket master website, hopefully playing at the roundhouse, that was always my favourite place for a rock gig - pushing your way to the front, dirty, sweaty and very loud and crazy. I think the last time I went it was to a concert like that was to see Sum 41 with Andrew when my hair was green, that must have been a while ago ahah I've just spotted PATD are touring but I'm hoping for something like the blackout (again) or YMAS (again haha) or someone new for me like Enter Shikari or Hawthorne Heights! When I asked Andrew what he though, he said we should go to see Miley Cyrus or Katy Perry which was a surprise haha I would actually love to go see Miley <3


Anyway this is what my style was like what back and that sort of thing that I'd wear. I've started getting a bit back into it recently!


Shorts - I used to have the Zebra prints ones - Criminal Damage
Tee - I still have loads of these - FSAS
Backpack - gotta have a scene kid back pack - Urban Junk
Vans - Just bought a new pair - Vans Shop
