Sun, Sea and Sangria!




Morning Gorgeous!

Happy Saturday Guys! I am still in a state of sadness that my holiday is over so in order to cling on to it for dear life I am going to tell you all about it and all my outfits for the week. So I hope you enjoy :)


I will tell you a bit about the place we went to first - it was called Lloret De Mar in Spain. It was about 2 hours outside of Barcelona. I really liked the area but probably would not go back as I feel like I seen everything there is to see as it is quite small. It had a beach, bars and restaurants which was all we were looking for as we were looking for relaxation but if you wanted a really active holiday you might have been quite bored.
The apartments we stayed in were called Apartmentos Condado and I would definitely not recommend it. The apartment itself was fine - basic but more than we needed really. The issue was that the staff were terrible, we had to buy our own loo roll (seriously) and we had to clean the place ourselves before we left and they never provided cleaning products so we had to buy them. The pool area was amazing though - it was a rooftop pool and it was just gorgeous. The only downfall for us was that there was no bar by the pool and I know that sounds typically Irish but imagine lying by the pool with a jazzy cocktail which was all we were really looking for. We ended up lying at the beach with cocktails instead which was actually amazing as the beach was FAB!
So all in all - it was a great week but I would not go back to the same place.


So that is enough boring talk - on to the outfits!
The best part about the apartment was that it had a massive full length mirror so there were lots of outfit pics taken! I will split it into Day outfits and Night outfits so be sure to tell me your favourite! 


Day Time

 - Bikinis - 
I took like 5 bikinis with me but I only wore my 3 favourites. I do that all the time when I go on holidays, I end up wearing the same thing that I love over and over. 

Bikini 1 - Valley Girl - Australia
I got this a few years ago while in Australia and haven't really had the chance to wear it, I love the pattern and style of this and it has straps that can be removed which is great. It is extremely comfortable also which is always a plus.

Bikini 2 - Penneys
I picked this up a few weeks before the holidays in Penneys, I can't remember what price it was but it was under €20 for both the top and bottom which is a bargain for a decent bikini. This one has removable straps also and has the cutest frill around both the top and the bottoms. And what about that pattern!!



Bikini 3 - H&M
So this is my favourite one, it is so flattering for a smaller frame and smaller bust which is perfect for me. The tassels and the pattern are just everything!
 
Sunnies - H&M
Kimono - Boohoo (Last Year)

So that is all the day outfits done - they were very casual and simple, nothing too flashy. Also, I just want to point out the sandals I am wearing in every photo - they are from Missguided and I bought them last minute on sale and I literally never took them off the whole week. They are the most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever bought, we walked loads every day and there was not a blister in sight with these!



Night Time

So on to the night outfits - I didn't take any heels with me as I knew we were going to be doing a lot of walking at night also and I wanted to be comfortable. I took one pair of low chunky heels but I only wore them once when I knew we weren't going far. I think comfort is the most important thing in shoes while on holiday as you do so much walking.

So that is all my night outfits, I hope you like them! I'm sure you can see a pattern of Missguided, Penneys and H&M! I got most of the Missguided stuff on sale for so cheap it was great! If I could only shop in one place for the rest of my life it would definitely be Missguided - they have such a massive variation for all styles.

 For makeup I kept it pretty basic each night, I used the Catrice matte shadow everynight along with the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette to darken. White liner was my saviour the whole week. Lippy was mostly nudes also - I loved the Rimmel London Kate Nude. Here are a few makeup snaps each night.



So I hope I haven't bored you with the massive post, I know it was really long but I wanted to put it all into the one post. Be sure to let me know if you loved or hated my outfits and if you have any questions on any of it please just ask :)

Happy Shopping
