I'm back from Portugal! - Holiday Snaps

Afternoon everyone!
I'm back in the comfort of my own snug little bedroom, and after a lovely lie in and visit to the horses i'm finally in blogging mode! I thought I'd just pop a few outfit posts in as well as general photos of my trip; I had the most amazing two weeks so why not share them with you!

The first morning!


This was taken on the first morning of our stay.
I wore a sheer white shirt over a lime green bandeau, and orangey/coral shorts.
My sister wore a topshop white crop top and floral shorts, which I loved!






Evening outfit




This was one of the outfits I wore in the evenings for a meal out - excuse the face, the sun was in my eyes and i'm pretty sure this is my 'deer caught in the headlights' face, I didn't expect the photo haha :)
I'm wearing a playsuit from Dorothy Perkins and some white wedges I got years ago from somewhere in America.









The bargain maxi dress!


I wore this maxi dress as a bit of a staple item - as a beach cover up, a day outfit and with heels in the evening. However unflattering the angle of this photo, I love this dress so much!

It's originally from topshop, but I got it off eBay for £10.. WHAT A BARGAIN haha, I'm so proud of it!










A (very hot!) day outfit

This is me and my mum outside a gorgeous portugese house, the tiles on these houses are amazing! It was over 40 degrees that day so I just put on my coolest top and my homemade bleached shorts - the hair had to go up for practical reasons! I tied my ring of daisies (see holiday haul) round my bun as a cute addition.




Evening outfit


As a little mention, this is my sister! I wanted to feature her outfit from our other sister's birthday meal because I thought it was amazing.

Her silk maxi dress is from Warehouse and she matched it with lime green wedges from topshop (love them, might have to steal them at some point..)

She wore a coral sheer lipstick and pulled her hair back into a side bun, which I thought was gorgeous.

I don't want to bore you all too much (though I guess the most bored of you won't have made it this far) so I kept it short (ish)! I'll try and do some proper beauty posts in the next few days - with my recently hectic (yes, I count a holiday as hectic) life I haven't got round to doing many, but I promise that will change haha :) I'm also incredibly sorry about the quality of the photos, it's not my camera I swear! They seem to have gone funny when uploaded aah :(

Hope you are all enjoying your summer!
