Another day spent relaxing and sunbathing by the pool - the tan is coming along well incase you are wondering! 

Evening outfits: 

Myself: blue-beige playsuit and silver strapped sandals for Primark

Jess: blue and white Aztec top and royal blue skort from Newlook - completed with golden jewellery to match the shoes

Tonight, I decided to intensify my makeup ; both my eyes and lips were dark to upgrade my super casual playsuit outfit. I  wore my revlon colourstay lacquer balm in Parisian Passion and ombréd my lips by applying a touch of my deep red revlon matte balm. Additionally, I upped my eye makeup by placing black into my crease and blending out towards the thick eyeliner wing.

Our night finished with an amazing act - Chinese acrobats. They performed immensely and their strength had me completely mesmerised as they melted from one position to another. 

Until tomorrow...

After a long and needed sleep, Jess and I woke up at midday. We settled in quickly - the resort is surrounded by beautiful greenery and in the middle of mountains. Everything here is soooo picturesque! The hotel covers all inclusive so we can help ourselves to all the yummy (but very unhealthy) pool side snacks. The day consisted of sunbathing, eating chips, ice cream and pancakes and swimming in the pool. 

As seen in the photos above, I'm absolutely loving outfit planning both during the day and evening. I paired a palm tree statement tee with high waisted denim shorts to lounge around the pool and in the evening I wore an off the shoulder white crop top with a pastel pink cut-out skirt. Accessorising involved dangly silver winged earrings, a pink&white ying yang necklace and white circular sunglasses. The finishing pieces to my evening look included white and gold sandals with my fave nude lippie - Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Satisfaction. 

An impressive day ended perfectly with a wide variety of foods for dinner. I'm a V E R Y fussy eater so the variation is a massive yes from me - the grilled chicken is definitely a 10/10! 

We have both had an incredible first day and are looking forward to spending the next two weeks here ☺️

Until tomorrow...

Come Fly With Me | Turkey Day 1

Come Fly With Me | Turkey Day 1

During my flight yesterday noon, an idea sprung to mind...I thought I would write a post the following day based on my holiday activities. Not only would this be great for personal memories in the future but I would love to share with friends and viewers what I'm getting up to, all the photographs I take and my planned outfits for both day and night. 

The flight was 4 hours long but it went swiftly, followed by an hour journey up a mountain to our hotel resort; we arrived in the middle of the night so fell asleep almost instantly. (After struggling to connect to wifi at 4am as Jess laughed hysterically considering she connected instantaneously *eye rolls* what are best friends for??) I also forgot to mention that I picked up Mac Soft & Gentle at duty free - so happy after a long time lusting it!!!

Until tomorrow 💖

Carry On Flight Essentials

Carry On Flight Essentials

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?

Love
