So just over a month ago today, i booked a holiday. Just like that.
I was at the gym with my two friends Emily & Erin and thought we're all getting in shape but had no where to show off our 'rocking new bods' (we're currently doing a fitness programme) so someone suggested we booked a holiday. It seemed like one of those ideas that seem great but never actually happens but before i knew it we were booking time off work (shock horror because we're all workaholics) and in a matter of days it was all booked!
I wasn't even there when they booked, they called me whilst i was working and said they had found somewhere but it needed to be booked asap. I was feeling very spontaneous anyway so was like "what the hell as long as its near a beach, I'm game"! So that was it, our holiday to Tenerife was booked and the countdown began!

Before i knew it i have found myself with less than a month until we go. I have only just realised it's been two years since i've left the UK so i'm totally in no way prepared. I don't have any of the holidays essentials. So obviously i went shopping!
Firstly i purchased some new sunnies. I have seen these glasses on many celebrities including PLL star Shay Mitchell. I wanted the black pair as i always go for black with everything, but they were sold out everywhere! Although i originally wanted the black ones, i am surprisingly loving the white version. They give a really clean, fresh look to any outfit and i think i'm in need of more white accessories now! I love the cat eye glasses at the moment but with the cut out on the edges i think it gives it a more edgier look and i'm totally in love with them.
I saw this jumpsuit on Zoella's Primark Haul and fell in love with the print but unfortunately jumpsuits never fit me properly. When i saw it in Primark i thought what the hell i'll try it on just incase a miracle happens and it fits me. A miracle didn't happen as such because its not perfect but it actually looked okay! I mean it doesn't fit properly but i don't expect Primark items to fit like they are tailor made. I had to size up so that it fit comfortably on my bum which has made the top part too big but it doesn't look ridiculous just looks oversized which i don't mind at all. Because i loved the print so much and for a price of £13 i couldn't say no!
This dress gets me soo excited for summer, mainly because it has that festival vibe to it and i already know it's going to be one of my outfits for a festival weekend. (i haven't yet booked one this year but i will be). This dress is simple yet has enough detail to be a solid piece in its own right, so can either be dressed up with accessories but also single handedly be the main piece of an outfit. I can't wait for Tenerife so i cant finally get a chance to wear this!
I am very easily distracted and whenever i go to Tesco and always find myself wandering towards the clothing isle's. It drives my boyfriend insane because we pop in to get milk or potatoes expecting to be in and out within two minutes but end up spending half an hour in the shop because i insist that we have to see if theres any new collections. I'm am so glad i always persuade him because if i had given in and just gone straight to the potatoes then i wouldn't have found these beauties!
I thought while i'm spoiling myself and making sure i'm stylish for my holiday, i thought its only fair to spruce up my passport too! I love tribal prints and monochrome so instantly fell in love with this and at only £6 what's not too love?! The question is, now do i buy the matching luggage tag too?
I can't wait to be in the sun and able to use all my new purchases.
Only 2 weeks & 2 days to go! Not that I'm counting or anything...
Sophie.
