Last week I was fortunate enough to spend a wonderful week on holiday in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria. Having never been to any of the Canary Islands before I didn't quite know what to expect but I had an amazing, unforgettable week (not to mention discovering the delicious Canarian potatoes which I will attempt to recreate as soon as I pluck up the courage to do so in the kitchen.) 
Here I've posted my evening outfits which I wore to dinner and then for drinks afterwards in the various bars. I probably didn't dress as formal as I usually do for nights out back home, but when temperatures are surpassing 35 degress celcius staying cool is definitely a priority so anything that wasn't loose fitted was a no-go. My most recent purchase of the above outfits was the River Island dress which I picked up in the sale just before I left. To be honest, I wasn't that keen on it when I saw in on the hanger but decided to try it on nonetheless and now I absolutely love it. It's perfect for barbeque's and summer nights (not that the weather in England at the moment holds a promise for many barbeques, boooo.) 
Also, I feel like I need to give a special mention to my trusted high-waisted denim shorts in the second photo. I got them from Primark about 3 or 4 years ago for around £8 and they still serve me very well to this day. I absolutely love high-waisted things and these are one of those items in my wardrobe that I would never ever dream of throwing out. 
I'm not sure if I'll be going away again this Summer. There is the possibility of going to the Alps in Bavaria, Germany in August as I have family over there but we shall see. I'm already having withdrawal symptoms from the sun and cocktails and hating having to dress in what can only be described as 'definitely not summer clothes' due to this abysmal British weather. Let's hope it picks up!

Much love
xoxo
