Mallorca: Day Three

Hello!

Time for another holiday post.

On day three we pretty much just bummed about on the beach and I didn't really wear anything of much interest (unless you want to see my non-model-like bod in a bikini. You don't) so I've just got some pictures from the evening.

I say evening, though I think it was gone 10pm before we even headed back out. We stayed on the beach as long as possible and chilled out on our balcony drinking beer until it went dark.

We were going to go to a nice restaurant this night but because it got so late and we'd already drank a bit, we decided we wanted to go to a beach bar on the sea front and get some ribs and cocktails!

Ace plan.


Here's what I wore:

Floral crown- Rock n Rose (sample sale)

Cross earrings- Primark

Dress- Sparkle & Fade (via Urban Outfitters)

Bag- vintage (charity shop)

White sandals- Primark

Me and the fella are die hard White Russian fans and we found a similar cocktail they seemed to do everywhere called a 'Coco Loco'. I think there are a few variations on it but it's typically rum, vodka, coconut liquor and coconut cream. Anyone who knows me well knows I fricking love coconut anything!

I brought some coconut liquor home so that I can make some here. 

What's your favourite cocktail?

Mallorca: Day Two

Hello!

Here you have the second installment of my holiday diary.

On holiday, I always have to go and visit a local market; I think it's been instilled in me from every family holiday I've been on- my parents love a good market!

Inca is where Mallorca's big market is held every Thursday but since we flew out on Thursday morning and were leaving again the following Thursday, there wasn't really an opportunity to go.

As we were lucky enough to have the resort's main bus stop right outside our hotel, it was pretty easy to get to nearby towns so we looked into other markets and chose to hop on the bus to Son Servera which wasn't too far away.

Son Servera holds a pretty large market every Friday with stalls ranging from jewellery, pottery and handbags to amazing local food and produce.

I bought one of these dreamcatchers!

All the stalls selling meats and cheeses have loads of samples for visitors to try- you could get a pretty good free lunch out of your trip if you wanted to!

Love a good churro- Spanish doughnuts for those not in the know. We had some of these amazing massive chocolate filled ones. Unsurprising that I put on about half a stone on this holiday!

Here's a few shots from back in the resort (S'illot). The second was the least sunny day we were there, though it was still nice and hot.

Sunglasses- Ray Ban

Pineapple print dress- ASOS (now in sale)

Leather backpack- charity shop

This was one of my favourite things in the resort. There was a little stretch of water running parallel to the sea with a bridge you could walk over- complete with it's own duck house! So cute that all the ducks loved it so much, they were always sitting on it!

Into the Night


This is what I wore in the eve...

Wearing my new fave Mac lippie (it's a creme sheen one called 'Lickable') and purposely did my holiday nails in a colour to match!

While we were in Son Servera, I managed to stumble across a Spanish charity shop. I didn't go hunting for one- honest!

It was pretty jumbled with just piles of stuff everywhere and no prices on anything. There were loads of folded jeans stacked up all over the place and eagle-eyed as I am, I spotted a pair of Levi 501s!

I decided that they probably wouldn't cost much so it didn't really matter too much if they didn't fit so grabbed them and took them to the cash desk and I was actually blown away- just €1! What's that, about 80p?

When i tried them on back at the apartment that evening and they fit like a glove, I couldn't resist wearing them out.

Earrings- House of Midas

Mesh top- Boohoo

Bandeau top- Tinned Bananas

Belt- charity shop

Levi 501 jeans- charity shop

Sandals- Vagabond

Thus concludes day two! Hope you aren't getting bored of these coz err, there's the rest of the week to come.

To be honest they're grating on me a bit- I'm bored of that bitch on holiday while it's raining here even though it's just me a few weeks ago!

Mallorca: Day One

Hello!

Wow, these posts are so overdue.

Earlier this month (a lot earlier), I landed back in the UK from a fab week away in Mallorca with the man, in a little town called S'illot on the South East coast.

It was a pretty cheap holiday but just what we needed, a week to relax by the sea. I think the holiday was even more relaxing due to increased stress levels just before we went. I won't bore you with the details but less than a week before flying, the company we booked our hotel with went into insolvency so we essentially lost the booking and it was touch and go as to whether we'd be going at all! Thankfully I booked on my credit card so we got the money back in the end- lesson to be learnt there!

I made sure I, well Chris, took plenty of photos so that I could do a holiday diary blog with a new post for every day we were there. Bear in mind I didn't take my DSLR so these are all taken on a not-so-great point and shoot. Enjoy day one!

Having just arrived and looking typically pasty!

Sunglasses- Ray Ban

Top- UNIF

Denim cut off shorts- vintage jeans + DIY

Sandals- Vagabond

Into the Night

I'm much more of a night person than morning so one thing I love about being on holiday is that you don't need to put a time on anything. I especially like enjoying the sun until the very last moment and generally going out late at night to eat/drink and not having to worry about getting up in the morning.

Before leaving, we'd checked Trip Advisor for the best places to go in the evening. I'm all for stumbling across amazing places all by yourself but sometimes it's good to have a little guidance.

We went on the hunt for the top-rated restaurant which was close to where we were staying but somewhat off the beaten track.

It was a really nice walk along a rocky coastline, away from the main strip of bars and restaurants. We found that down this way was where most of the locals lived.

On the way we stumbled on a mini local food market with stalls selling all kinds of local produce like olives, wine, preserves, meat and cheese.

I did these outfit shots on a cliff by the sea- not that you can tell because it was so dark up here!

Earrings- vintage

Dress- Lavish Alice

Clutch bag- vintage via charity shop

Sandals- Primark

I got this Lavish Alice dress at a sample sale in Manchester my work took part in. I couldn't resist trying this dress on and once I did, I fell in love! It was little over a tenner so it would've rude not to. It's now sold out on their site but I managed to find it here and here- though it's much more expensive!

The restaurant!

It felt slightly weird going to an Italian on our first night in Spain but with loads of fresh Spanish seafood and ingredients on the menu and a spectacular view of the Mallorcan sea you soon forget that!

The food here was insane. I had handmade spaghetti with seafood and I think it has to be the best meal I had all holiday. It was really reasonably-priced and the Italian guy who owned it was great, he was so knowledgeable about the food. We went back to 'Mama Mia' on our last night too (something I never do on holiday!), it was so good!

Look out for my day two post coming soon!
