Carry On Flight Essentials

Carry On Flight Essentials

Comment   

As everyone seems to be heading off to tropical islands and sandy beaches, including myself to Turkey tomorrow evening, I thought I would upload a post dedicated to my hand luggage. Here are my personal holy grail items to carry on board with me whilst on the plane.

My carry on essentials this summer will be stored in my new mint green rucksack, which I can say was an absolute bargain (eight freakin' pounds!!!) from Primark. Not only the rucksack being my favourite colour, it is also a perfect size for storing what I need, helping me to concise with what I require on the flight and will look fabulous with many an outfit when strolling down to the beach.

Books/magazines are a huge must for me on board and during a relaxing holiday. I take a book/magazine or two to pass time on lengthy flights and when chilling in the sun's generous 36 degree rays. Next, a favourite of all - especially for those who despise reading of any sort. Almost everyone I know cannot travel anywhere without taking headphones; listening to music passes time in a fun way. I couldn't forget these - SWEETS! Nothing passes time better than eating and eating and eating until your plane finally lands at your destination. I also like to carry a packet of mints/gum to keep my breath smelling great until I can brush my teeth again. 

The camera I will be taking snaps on this year is my pink digital polaroid, along with my iphone 5s - I tend to get snap happy when I'm soaring through the air and take 100s of photos before I've even arrived of the wonderful views from above. Many people, often older, would much prefer to kill time by taking a long nap on the plane - a good ol' eye mask helps a lot when the plane's on-board lights are on full beam. Penultimately, you musn't forget to shove your purse in before leaving. Imagine how much of a disaster it would be if you had no money to purchase some pointless junk memorabilia?! Finally, sunglasses break almost instantly in a suitcase so I would advise you to take them in your handbag/rucksack. 

Where are you going away this year? What do you NEED in your carry on?

White Off-Shoulder Top - Primark (£3.99)

Lilac Skater Skirt - BooHoo (£8.00)

Cream Bow Heeled Shoes - Newlook (£14.99)

Silver Diamonte Clutch Bag - Ebay (£8.96) 

Mua Matte Lipstick in Lilac Belle - Superdrug (£1.00)

Mac Lilac Tinted Glitter Pigment in Kitschmas - Mac Cosmetics (£16.00)

The other night I stepped out of my comfort zone and wore this daring lilac lipstick to a school presentation; I was overly excited to find that it matched my Boohoo Lilac Skirt perfectly. This outfit I feel would not only suit special occasions but either a summer daytime or evening outfit on holiday. 

Shoes | Flower Crown | Sunglasses

To create a more daytime based outfit, I would first tone down the shoes - colour coordinated flip flops could be brought onto the scene to make the look more beach/daytime appropriate. You may also like to add a floral crown or a pair of sunglasses to further add to the look and make it more girly.

Shoes | Necklace | Ring

Alternatively, you could amp up the outfit by pairing the attire with a gorgeous pair of lilac high heels, for those wanting to wear this on an evening out. Lilac statement necklaces and rings would give a further push to create the perfect night wear based ensemble.

What is your fave colour to wear during the summer months? Would you dare to wear a lilac lip?

Styling Dungarees // Under £20!!

Dungarees have become a ongoing trend over the past few summers, with celebs and teens styling them in many a way - from long to short and denim to patterened. Bandeaus with short denim dungarees are my go-to this summer and today's post is here to inform all of my lovely viewers on how to achieve this cute but cool look for under £20!

As Primark do not have an online shop, I've managed to find some cheap deals on Amazon, where the items listed below are very similar to my outfit above :-)

Dungarees - £9 (similar here)

Bandeau - £4 (similar here)

Shoes - £3 

Sunglasses - £3 (similar here)

The outfit above all came from Primark. I know a lot of people don't go to Primark due to many being unorganised and looking like a junk sale but hear me out... go and hit the large Primark outlets! They are insane, HUGE and 100% better than a small highstreet shop. You can find lots of amazing bits and bobs - clothes, accessories, homeware, lingerie, you name it! Each part of the outfit was very inexpensive but hold amazing quality. The shoes and sunglasses being a highlight of mine - both very different from my usual style but loved pairing them with the outfit nonetheless. 

Thank you all for reading and I will talk soon x

Love

p.s This post isn't sponsored - I just love Primark and wanted to express my love for the hargains you can all get your hands on!!
