Holiday Outfit: Day Five

I'm not going to give this post an introduction as I don't feel there's any need to. Many of you will know that I'm blogging about all of my holiday outfits so I'm just going to crack on and show you what I wore on day five of my jolly holidays. 






Rings: Topshop, Earrings: Topshop, Shoes: River Island, 
Dress: Missguided

I absolutely love this dress and I'm so pleased that I bought it for my jolly holidays. It's a lovely summery dress that can be dressed up or dressed down, no matter if you're going shopping with your friends or going to a big birthday bash, this is the perfect dress for any occasion. I have only worn this dress once which is rather shameful but I'm hoping we get this supposed 'indian summer' as I'd quite like to wear it again! 
There are three things I love about this dress, I love the 'Cath Kidston-esque' floral pattern, the cut-out detail at the waist and the super high neckline. It's a fun, feminine dress and I like it very much.
The dress is also really well-made and made from super sturdy material. I was expecting to hold my dress down every two minutes because of the wind but I can safely say that this baby did not blow up, I didn't have to hold the dress down once. 
I really do like this dress and I'll certainly be wearing it next summer too. Missguided still have this dress in-stock so if it floats your boat, there's still a chance to get your hands on it. The link to the dress is provided above.

I'm not going to say much about my white flatforms but if you've read my previous holiday outfit post you'll know that me and my white flatforms fell out on holiday. All you need to know is that they looked lovely and went perfectly with the dress but they ripped my feet to shreds.. ouch! 
I also think my accessories matched the dress perfectly too with them being pink and mint green. 


I hope you liked my day five holiday outfit, keep a lookout for day six!

Holiday Outfit: Day Four

If you read my blog frequently you'll know that I'm currently in the process of blogging about my holiday outfits but if you're new to my blog then I'm basically putting up an holiday outfit post every other day. A lot of people requested to see my holiday outfits so I thought I'd blog about each and every one of them. 

So without further ado, here's what I wore on day four!






Ring: My Shop, Earrings: Miss Selfridge, Sandals: ALDO, 
Dress: Miss Selfridge

This dress looks perfect for wearing in hot weather but do not let it fool you. Yes it's made from super light material, yes it does have a cut out piece in the centre and yes it is a maxi dress but it's one of the worst dresses you could possibly wear in summer. It clung to my legs when I walked, creased like hell when I sat down and it generally made me feel as if I was going to melt. I thought that the dress would be airy due to the material and the cut out centre and but I was totally wrong. Despite the dress making me feel like I was going to die, it looked nice and went well with my tan!

My sandals and accessories went well with the dress too, I love the combination of coral and cream (they're two of my favourite colours!). I'm also not exaggerating when I say this but my ALDO sandals are possibly the comfiest sandals I've ever purchased, they don't rub or cause nasty blisters and they are really easy to walk in. Not only are they comfy but they go with pretty much anything too!
I'll definitely be purchasing another pair of ALDO sandals next year that's for sure.

I hope you liked my day four holiday outfit! Stay tuned for day five!

Holiday Outfit: Day Three

As I said in my previous outfit related post, I'm going to be posting about my holiday outfits over the next couple of weeks so you're going to be seeing my face frequently (oh you lucky things!).

So here's what I wore on day three of my jolly holidays!







Ring: ASOS, Necklace: Topshop, Shoes: River Island, 
Shorts: River Island, Crop Top: River Island

There's something very nautical and sailorish about my outfit and I don't know what's giving me that impression, think it's something so do with the large amount of navy and white I'm wearing. I think if someone had given me a white hat, I could have WELL passed off as ship worker!

My nautical outfit was a practical outfit to wear on holiday as it was really hot. At night the temperatures reached 44 degrees so wearing little was always a good option. On the nights when I had no option but to wear my lovely maxi dresses, it was horrendous. My dresses constantly stuck to the back of my legs, my hair ended up wet through and I honestly thought I was going to melt. So if you ever plan on visiting Greece in August, don't bother taking dresses, just take shorts and crop tops. 
Wearing little was a brilliant option but taking my white flatforms on holiday, however, was NOT a good option. I'm not exaggerating when I say this, these are the most un-comfiest shoes I've ever bought in my whole entire life and I'm even considering writing to River Island. They ripped my feet to shreds and because of this, made me waddle like a penguin. If my mum hadn't had taken blister plasters on holiday with her, I'd have had to walk around barefoot! Not only did they make my feet feel like they'd been attacked with a chainsaw, they also got dirty really easily and if you know me well, you'll know that I HATE dirty shoes. I'm just not a happy chap with these shoes, they're an utter mare!

Despite the killer shoes, I loved my outfit. The navy and white compliment each other so well and I think the cross necklace added something extra. 

I hope you liked my nautical themed outfit and keep an eye out for my holiday outfit day four!

Holiday Outfit: Day Two

So guess who's back from their jolly holidays?... ME! I'm finally back in 'sunny' England after my 2 weeks holiday in the lovely resort of Zakynthos (or Zante as most of you will be familiar with)! I had an amazing time in Zante and really wish I could have stayed for an extra two weeks, I even prayed for an ash cloud (selfish moi). I had been to the same resort back in 2010 so I knew what it was going to be like but even though I knew the ropes, I still had a blast! 

Whilst on my jolly holidays I took photographs of each of my outfits (for example, day 1 and day 2 etc) so that I would have 14 holiday OOTD posts to pop on my blog. Some of you might not be interested in my holiday outfits but for those of you who are, my holiday OOTD posts will be spread out over the next few weeks, I may even do one every day for the next two weeks if you're lucky! (or if I remember too, I honestly have a brain like a sieve).

I haven't taken photographs of my day one outfit as I'd been travelling since 2am and didn't look the best. I had bags under my eyes and looked a little like I'd been dragged through a hedge backwards. No fun. Those photographs would probably be enough to put you off reading my blog, or better still, make you cry. 

So without further ado, here's my day two holiday outfit!






Ring: Topshop, Necklace: Forever 21, Sandals: River Island,
Playsuit: New Look

Excuse the misty photographs, for some reason my iPhone decided to only take misty photographs for the first couple of days of my holiday. I think it was something to do with the lens adjusting to the sunshine so at least I know there's nothing horrendously wrong with my phone (couldn't live without that beauty). Despite the fluffy cloudiness, you can still get an idea of what the outfit is meant to look like. 

There's nothing I can really say about the outfit other than it was super comfy and it was ideal for wearing in 38 degrees heat. The playsuit is made from very floaty, thin material so it was great for wearing in a hot climate. The necklace and ring match perfectly with the mint green flowers in the playsuit too. I did plan on wearing white sandals with the playsuit but I decided to go for tan sandals instead as the white looked a little harsh against the black. 

Oh, I opted for orange lips too because I wanted to feel tropical and fruity! Bit of a pointless statement but I thought I'd give you all an explanation for the bright orange lips. 

I hope you like my first holiday outfit and if you're keen on the idea of me posting one daily for the next two weeks then please let me know!

Thanks for reading and it's good to be back!
:)
