Holiday Blues..

On the 7th July, My boyfriend and I took a holiday to Egypt. We absolutely loved it, it was our first holiday and we had a fabulous time! Here are some pictures of some of the outfits I wore during our holiday! And by the way, we stayed at the 'Concorde El Salam' in Sharm El Sheikh.


Heres one of the beautiful vues of the hotel, overlooking the infinity pool. Here we were just going to the pool to sunbath, So I wore my Hollister brown leather sandals which were £28, my pink crochet top in from H&M - £7.99, Salt Rock shorts which I bought in the sales for £12 and my Animal leather bag which I also had in the sale. 


This was the pool that was situated directly outside our room. Here I wore my Zara pepulum top which was in the sale at £15, I also wore my Warehouse black denim shorts which were in the sale for £18 and my Zara Sandals which were also in the sale for £19.99 from £40, which I have posted about previously. If you can't tell, I am a bargain hunter!!


Ethan and me. 


At dinner in the hotel. I wore my makeup very minimal here with a touch of tinted moistuirser, eyebrow pencil and blush. I also curled my hair with my GHD flat irons, which is quick and easy to do! There's my beloved Mango juice too!!


Now I've had this linen dress for years, it was from Tesco for around £15. It's simple and flattering and can be dolled up! I paired this with gold sandals from Dorothy Perkins for £30 and some gold bracelets and necklace from Outfit.



This was one of my outfits during the day to go to the pool, I wore my White dress from Primark which was around £6... I think! It's a really pretty dress, with a split down the back, a button at the top and a tie around the waist with gorgeous detail along the top. 


We went quading and we had to wear these Arab scarfs to stop the sand blowing into our faces. Quading was amazing, we both enjoyed it soo much! Here I wore my Nike Free run trainers because they were comfy and practical, a white Primark strap top and a pink pair of Salt Rock shorts. 

How funny do we look!?




Here I wore the all famous strap top from Primark which are around £2-£3. I paired this with a H&M skirt which was £7.99, which came with a black cord belt. I'm also wearing my black beaded zara sandals and my usual Links and Swarovski bracelets! Sorry about the little Nike trainer in the corner!! 


Ready to go out for dinner and into so-ho square, which had lots of shops and entertainment!


This was another outfit, ready for another evening meal. I wore my zara black sandals and my zara black playsuit which I bought for £19.99, but it's currently in the sale for around £15! You can get it in a Fuchsia Pink too. This playsuit is so comfy! it clinches in at the waist and slightly flares at the bottom.  To give a bit of colour I added a short light blue stone necklace from Topshop which was a gift.


While going to So-ho, we visited the Ice Bar. This was such an awesome experience! The whole room was made out of ice, the bar, the sets, the walls and even the shot glasses!!


To enter the Ice Bar, we had to pay something like £15 each, then we were given a fury duffle coat each and a free drink token! The experience was great! The Egyptians were shivering, repeating that it was 'soooo cold', yet Ethan and I felt quite at home, as this was probably around the usual temperature back at home!!


Have you been to Egypt? Did you like my holiday outfits? Have you visited the Ice Bar? Theres one in London too!

I Love Zara

So I'm back from Egypt and I seriously need to get my act together with this blog. One post in June? One big Oooops. Anyway, the show must go on. Even if the show is a little sparse at the moment! Apologies.

So here are my gorgeous black beaded sandals from Zara. I bought these in the sales for £19.99, reduced from £39.99. 



Now I absolutely LOVE these sandals. I wore them to death on holidays in Egypt, they simply go with everything! Which reminds me that I need to upload a post of a few outfits that I wore on holiday! 


 They are simply a T-bar sandal, decorated with tiny black beads with a small heel. Now I cannot find these sandals on the Zara website, however there are still a few pairs left in my nearest store in Cardiff. 


So next is the all famous plaited shopper! This has been on my wish list for ages! But at £79.99, it wasn't the type of purchase you just picked up on your weekly shop. So the gorgeous bag kept slowly sliding down my wish list. Until.... my lovely boyfriend bought me this beautiful bag for my 18th birthday in June!


I choose the colour black because I have too many brown leather handbags, and we all know that every girl needs a simple black handbag. 



The bag had gold buckles and zips with a two sophisticated plaited leather handle to carry on the arm. Inside there is the option to have a thin black strap to turn the bag into a should bag and a detachable cloth bag to keep all your things. 

You can get this bag here!

Have any of you snatched some deals at the Zara sales?

Fat Face


While popping into Fat Face, I seen lots of things I want to buy. No rephrase that... I Neeeeeeed to buy. But i've been saving all of my earnings for my last holiday payment, as I'm going on holiday to Egypt with my boyfriend in July. 

So while I made a mental wish list of all the things I neeeeeded in fat face, I came across a little basket of bracelets on the counter. 

So I found this little bracelet! For only £3!
I loved the fact this bracelet had a heart at the centre which is made out of dragonflies and butterflies. It looks so sweet, and the multi coloured stones that surround it have lots of beautiful pinks, browns and oranges! 

I loveeee it! So even though I'm meant to be saving ALL my money for my final payment, I decided £3 would not make much of a difference! You can buy this bracelet here - http://www.fatface.com/jewellery/heart-bracelet/invt/35661/?colour=Natural
