This is my entry for Michelle (of Daisybutter) and New Look's competition. Read all the details here and enter for the chance to win up to £400 worth of new look summer clothing items. You really should enter, even if it is just to have fun putting together the outfits. It is honestly so much fun! Good luck and I hope you enjoy my entry. Check out the #holidayhop hashtag for inspiration or to get involved. (All the prices shown were correct at the time of putting the outfit together, apologies if they've now changed!)
Picture the scene: The sun shining down, plenty of cocktails (strictly non-alcoholic for my 17 year old self, of course), good music and good company. It sounds like a pretty perfect situation, and obviously, we're dressed for the occasion. Yes, we're heading to Ibiza.
The first outfit you're going to be wearing while holidaying to Ibiza is your plane outfit. This can be a tricky one, it needs to suit British weather, be comfortable for the plane and then adaptable for the Ibiza sun.
This dress is very simple but very cute. It will be quick and easy to throw on in the morning for an early flight. It is also mostly polyester which means it will be comfortable for the plane journey. The purple blazer is to keep you warm (and stylish) during your airport wait, it can be easily removed for comfort on the plane and to suit the sunshine when you arrive. It also provides a beautiful colour pop. The minimal accessories should make airport security easier as there is less to remove. The zigzag patterned shoes will embrace the Ibiza style while being comfortable for your travels. This gorgeous bag is big enough to fit all your plane essentials in and small enough to easily fit under the chair in front of you on the plane. Easy access people!
You've arrived! Welcome to Ibiza, unpack and head to the pool (I sound like a holiday rep).
This beautiful Kelly Brook swimwear play suit will give you the most gorgeous 1950's look for the poolside. I teamed it with the floppy hat and sunglasses as the colours are similar and I feel they compliment one another. They also provide wonderfully fashionable sun protection! I chose a white kaftan so that the outfit wouldn't be all one colour. It is so beautifully detailed. I chose to add nude coloured pumps and charm bracelet along with a big tote bag for all your poolside magazine reads. These will suit with or without the kaftan.
You've settled in at the hotel and you're ready to explore. First up, the beach.
This dress is quite busy so I've kept everything else very simple. The dress can can be slipped on and off very easily which is perfect for the beach. The blue in the bikini and sunglasses work well with the blue within the pattern of the dress. To add some cooler colours to the outfit I added a brown bag and shoes. Both of which are comfortable, practical and stylish. The pale pink nail polish is a nice and simple addition to this outfit.
Back from the pool or beach, tan in tow, it's time for supper at sunset with the girls.
Now, bare with me because I know this looks busy but I promise it will work. The maxi skirt offers a colour pop that the outfit can centre around. The contrasting black top, shoes and clutch work well with the skirt and give the outfit some extra oomph. They all also have gold accents which will work well together will the gold jewellery. The spike cuff worn on one wrist and then the gold (only, not silver) geometric ring and encrusted ring on your hand of the other arm. All this topped off with a delicate beaded head drape for a beautiful finishing touch.
Supper at sunset one night and a club the next. Only after a day on the beach, obviously.
I've constructed this outfit to avoid the awkward 'wrapping a towel around you while you change' fiasco. So, the black bikini may be basic but my goodness is it effective. Not to mention it's going to look amazing with a tan. I chose underwear-style swimwear so that it would all be hidden when you go to the club. This dress is absolutely stunning and can be worn simply with no necklace for the beach, with a dipped hem which allows your legs to reach the sun. Forget diamonds, wedges are a girls best friend. They'll survive the sand and look amazing for the club. I chose a black clutch that you can wear across-body because the best dance moves require empty hands. What changes the looks from beach to club? When you're ready to leave the beach, throw on this necklace to instantly give it the night out look, easy.
There we have it. My five outfits that I think are perfect for all you'd get up to on a long weekend in Ibiza.
What do you think, which would you wear?
Hoping you're having a lovely day,
Victoria x
