April is upon us which means one thing for me - my birthday! It's been a tough couple of months with stress at work, stress at home and moving flat being a much bigger job than I had ever imagined. I am very much in need of a holiday and there is no better time than my birthday to sneak off for an early spring/summer break.
Ibiza is the location in mind, just before the parties season starts, a relaxed, chilled out vibe on the white isle with plenty of time to explore without the pressure to party! With each holiday, I try and reduce my luggage more and more, I am determined to become a savvy traveller without the need for 12 pairs of shoes, 8 pairs of sunglasses and a bikini (sometimes 2) for every day of the holiday! My biggest problem is packing too many outfit combos ... I need to learn to pack versatile clothes that can transfer easily from day to night.
My holiday isn't far off, only a few weeks away so I need to get organised and be as sensible with my packing as I can. Here are a few things I am thinking of packing for my holiday. These will provide me with the essentials I need for day and night time dressing.
* This American Retro dress is amazingly only £84 from £210 on theOutnet.com. It is a perfect day to night dress. It's perfect to throw on over your bikini after a day at the beach but equally cool enough to wear at night bar hopping.
* The sandals are Juicy Couture and are the perfect style of gladiator sandal for this dress. On holiday I find it hard to wear heels so these can be worn day and night, see I'm already saving space (and large luggage fees).
* I really wish I could stick to one pair of sunglasses on holiday but I just can't. My favourite sunnies are aviators like these Carrera's, they are my preference for daytime but late afternoon or a vino fuelled late lunch calls for something more sophisticated like these Nina Ricci oversized sunnies.
* My hair needs protecting during the day so a trilby will do the trick... keeping my hair neatly tucked away from the drying rays of the Sun.
* This Antik Batik bag is just gorgeous and is perfect for all the essentials - suncream, ipod, phone, money.
These are going to be added to my neverending list for theOutnet.com birthday £1 sale on April 16th however with the prices as good as they are - especially the dress - I may just put in an early order!

@Rhamnousia No, unfortunately you won't be able to see that although there are going to be 'thousands' of items marked down - this is why I am picking out my fave things to keep an eye on on the 16th.
ReplyDeleteBy registering for the sale though, you also enter yourself into a draw with the prize being a preview of the sale items and the chance to use the skills of an Outnet.com stylist to buy 5 items for £5! x
Love what you put together :) Can you organise my holiday wardrobe please? I love Ibiza, kinda gutted that I'm not going this year. xx
