PRETTY YOUNG THING

I have not been paid for this blog post, however I was gifted the Fujifilm camera.

We are off on our holidays very very soon, we haven't actually booked our flights yet but we are planning on going to Turkey on the 29th/ 30th June so literally just over a month away. I don't really have the money to buy new holiday clothes but I have been looking online at all the gorgeous holiday bits so I thought i'd share a few things in a wishlist.

To start is this gorgeous top from Topshop, I always look in Topshop when i'm looking for holiday clothes because they do some really gorgeous pieces. I think this top would be lovely for an evening meal with some black culottes and sandals. I think it's a really lovely top that I will be able to wear for work aswell not just for holiday.

I picked out this playsuit from Asos, it's so cheap at only £18 so i'm really considering buying it, and its available in petite and tall. I love pom pom's and black is such an easy colour to throw on. I think this playsuit would be perfect for an evening outfit but you could easily throw it on by the pool.

I really like this Palm Print Jumpsuit from Topshop, I think it would be so easy to throw on and style with a pair of wedges and some tan accessories. It comes in petite too which is perfect!!

These Hudson Fifa Leather strap sandals from Daniel Footwear are just so perfect. I think they are a really nice simple pair of sandals that you could wear from day to night with any outfit! They have a tiny little heel which will give me a little bit of height, they just look so comfy so they would be perfect for my holiday as we like to do lots of walking when were away.

I recently featured these shorts in a recent blog post, a holiday essentials post which you can check out here, they are from New Look and such a bargain. I think they just look so comfy and the khaki colour is really lovely and suits me well. These would look so nice with just a plain black vest and some tan sandals.

Finally another pair of Quay sunglasses, these are quickly becoming my favourite brand of sunglasses. I already own one pair but they are all so gorgeous, I need to add a few more styles to my collection. I'm loving these ones from Asos.

I'm going on holiday yay! You know what that means I need to go shopping!! I only need to get a few bits and pieces as I went on a couple of holidays last year so I have lots of clothes. I just want to get a couple of new bits so i've been looking online and will be nipping into Primark at some point.

I thought i'd do a post to share some of my holiday must haves, these are essentials that I need to bring with me.

First up is swimwear, as I have big boobs decent swimwear is really important, i've got a couple of Freya bikinis which i'm going to bring with me, i'm tempted to pick up this one from Cleo by Panache which is a gorgeous bandeau style, the colours so bright and I love the frilly bottoms.

Some comfy shorts are a must have, if you plan on doing any walking, excursions etc then you need to get a comfy pair of shorts, I stocked up on loads for Florida last year but I recently spotted these Khaki ones from New Look that I need to get because they are sooo pretty.

A decent pair of sunnies is a must have! I usually stock up on a few Primark pairs aswell. These Quay Australia ones are lovely, I recently got a similar pair in TkMaxx which i'll be bringing away with me.

These wedges are gorgeous, they are Ted Baker, you can get them from the Jones Bootmaker website. I love the colour and I think wedges are perfect for holiday, they are so comfy and you can wear them with so many different outfits. I usually bring a pair of wedges and then a couple of pairs of flat sandals.

I have a couple of Kimonos which I always bring on holiday with me as cover ups for by the pool and on the evenings when it gets chilly. I really like this lace one from Asos which would be perfect for both day to night. I think it would be awsome for a festival aswell.

Finally, I always get myself a new beach bag. This one from New Look is so pretty and it's a great size for keeping all your bits and pieces in for by the pool. You can fit plenty of suncream and towels in this one. I love the Moroccan style print and think it would be perfect for hand luggage on the plane aswell!!


Are you going away this year? Where are you off too and what are your holiday essentials?

Hello people! I haven't blogged for a few days as things have been pretty manic! I'm currently working two jobs aswell as doing a bit of voluntary work helping at some art classes to get some classroom experience. So pretty please bear with me, I'm going to hopefully do some blogging tomorrow night. I tried to get some done tonight however once I had checked and replied to emails the night has got away from me again.

Anyway today I wanted to share a lovely pair of sandals I was recently sent by Cloggs.co.uk
When I first saw Birkenstocks I will admit I was one of those people that swore I wouldn't get on the Ugly sandal bandwagon but here I am with a pair of Birkenstocks. First of all they are not that Ugly in real life and once i'd saw a pair in the shops I became more of a fan. The style is quite simple which makes them a good value for money because the classic style won't go out of fashion.

I got a trusty black pair however they come in lots of different colours. I have a matte pair but they also come in patent.  They are really comfy shoes, I wear mine to work alot! I'm on my feet for 8-9 hours a day and they don't hurt me at all. About 5 people at my work own a pair (kat has about 10 pairs haha) They are just fab for everyday. I like to wear mine with midi-skirts and cute dresses because they give an outfit a boho style. Honestly at first I didn't think they were that comfy but once i'd worn them in now they are amazing, they are now shaped to my feet.

They are easy to keep clean, you can just give them a little wipe over with a baby wipe. They are a great quality, very sturdy and firm. They are well worth the money, you know they are going to last you a long time.  I have my eyes on a white pair which I think will be perfect for my upcoming holiday to Turkey, I will be doing loads of walking so a comfy pair of sandals is a must have!

Do you have a pair of Birkenstocks?

I wore this dress on the evening on our holiday, we were actually just staying in the hotel playing some drinking games by the hotel bar when I got a text off my mom who was also in Turkey inviting us out so we went out on a bar crawl. This dress is actually so versatile that I didn't even need to get changed!
