Tenerife 2011!

Urm, guess who's back!?

Yeah, me. Unfortunately, I'd of happily stayed another...70 years? Haha. Tenerife is seriously the place to be if you want some utter relaxation, beautiful weather and crazy sites that you'll never forget! I've been going to Tenerife for 10 years now, and every time has been different. This holiday was absolutely amazing and I wouldn't have done a single thing different...apart from book it a week later! I'll delve deeper into that...

So 2 years ago, I had the best holiday of my life and met some amazing guys and their family. Me and one of the son's had a thing two years ago, but it ended really before it even began. The 9th of August 2011 was the first time we'd seen each other since the 18th of August 2009, and it was magic. He was with his cousin, auntie and uncle as well this year, and me and his cousin have actually become best friends. Me and my 'old flame' reconnected. In the words of Lady Gaga, 'yeah there's something about, baby you & I.' That's true for me and him. There's just something about it. I don't know what, but it's nice :)

ANYWAYS! Here are some pics from my holiday. I'll tell you where I got my outfits from and my mum's if I can remember :) Underneath every picture I will also do like a little diary entry thing.

Day 1- ok, so this is one of the angles of the view from our hotel room. We were originally put on the 7th floor, but we didn't like the room. So I battered my eyelashes and worked my wonderful charm on some man at the check in and as if by magic, we were moved into a hugely bigger room on the 10th floor! So the moral of the story is; always ask. Hey, it's worth a try!

This is the first night- ahhhh wow! To be honest, I don't think I've tanned very much. But this picture makes me look very pale- so I'm very tanned to what I was! My top is from Topshop agesss ago, and my shorts are from Miss Selfridges. I can only remember where my mum's top is from, and it's from Primark. This night was the night where I came across a very attractive waiter! I didn't see him very much after that, but he seemed a bit morngey because he didn't smile very much! 

Night 2- Nothing very exciting happened this night. We decided to take a taxi to the other end of Tenerife to look at some shops which included Zara and Mango. Not very much were in them though! Fishing through my clothes, I noticed that I'd forgotten a black cami like this white one, so I couldn't wear some of my skirts that I brought because they needed black :( Non of the shops we went in had any in either. Ah, never mind :) My top is from New Look and my skirt is from Topshop. The light doesn't do it any justice, it's more of a very light lilac colour :) My mums top is from Next. 

Night 3- A kind waiter took this photo for us :) The staff were soooo lovely! We've stayed in this hotel before (Bourganville Playa, Costa Adeje) and we noticed a definite change in the attitude of the staff. I had a hair malfunction this evening so I put a bit of it up at the side. My top is from Lipsy, and you can't really see my shorts(hehehe) but they're from Topshop. Also, my shoes are from Debenhams in the beachwear collection. 

Night 4- this is one of my fave photos of me. Blue is such a good colour on me, so I do tend to wear it a lot because I like to look good(sorry, but it's true!). I love the cut of this Topshop top, and it covers the top of my highwaisted Miss Selfridges shorts, so I'm not showing too much skin. I had a really good hair night too, so that put me in a great mood to smile for this photo! :P

This is the bracelet on my wrist close up. It is my most favourite bracelet ever, I love it so so much! It's a beautiful baby pink colour with lovely girly roses. It's from River Island, but I got it wayyy back last year, but they do do dupes in Primark still. However, it's sometimes nice to pay that little bit more for greater quality. The string holding it has not loosened. 

Whilst I'm on the topic of jewellery, I bought this gorgeous shell ring and a beautiful Hawiian inspired bracelet from some little shops in Tenerife. So girly, so me!

Night 5- hmmm, I don't remember much from this night. No, I mean I really don't. Haha. My playsuit is from Ark and my mum's dress is from Next.

Ohhh, it's coming back to me! We went down to the other end of Tenerife again to look around, and I changed into my Lipsy top and Miss Selfridges shorts because the playsuit I had on makes me feel fat :P  Look at all that Hello Kitty! Once I saw the shop, I just had to have a picture in front of it :P

I saw this cardigan in Tenerife but it was a lot of euro's so my mum wouldn't let me have it. Who would have thought that yesterday less than 40 miles away from me, the same cardigan would be hanging there in a shopping centre waiting for me!? Deffo meant to be!

Night 7- hmm, I have no idea where Night 6 went. There was one night that we forgot the camera, so we couldn't take pictures. Maybe that was night 6... Anyways. This night was the night that I saw my friends for the first time in 2 years. It was so cute. He was texting me that he was in the hotel bar, so I came down to see them and it was so magical :) I love the colour of this top i'm wearing. I got it in Tenerife but it's from Bershka. I'm sure that's a shop in the UK too.. and how gorgeous is my mum's dress!? It's from Quiz.

Night 8- aww, I love these photos sooo much. They've deffo my faves. i think me and my mum look positively glowing in them. So pretty and healthy. This night was the first night that I saw the families at dinner. My friend looked at me with a huge smile on his face. That's when I knew that I really did look good that night. This Ark leopard playsuit is so 'me'. If I could only wear one thing for the rest of my life, this would be it. I believe that every time I wear this outfit, I look good. Sorry for the bigheadedness, but it's true. I really love this playsuit. My mum's beautiful cobolt blue dress is from New Look.

Night 12- (yes, I know i've jumped a lot of nights. But I wasn't in many of the pictures because I had forgotten HEAPS of clothes and had to wear some of my outfits twice, so I didn't wanna be in any pictures :P). I believe I looked good this night too :) I look like a little barbie doll! My beautiful pink dress is from Topshop. I have it in white as well, but i had a little malfunction! It was so white, that you could see my bra and knickers! Note to self when wearing the dress next time: thong! My mum's dress is from Next.

The last full day- aww, sad times. This is me and my mum chilling by the pool. I couldn't touch the bottom of the deep end(boo!) which my friends took advantage of and ducked me under A LOT. Haha, it was fun though. Had some very fun times in that pool and interesting convo's with my friend's cousin. I love that girl to death and she has really become one of my closest friends. Unfortunately, me being the dumbass that I am, forgot to take photos of me, her and her cousin! She did take some though, but it was through the day when I looked rough cos I had no make up on! Ah well, they're memories, right? :)

The lasy night- this playsuit is from Lipsy and really reminds me of Pixie Lott. It's such a comfy thing to wear and I love it a lot. My mum's BEAUTIFUL dress is from Kurt Muller. It's so gorgeous with all the different leopards in it. Me and my mum are leopard girls through and through!

I'm so cute. On the last night, my mum had some poppyseed bread with her soup, and the little poppyseeds were left behind. Whilst on holiday, one of the waiter's seemed to take a shine to me. Smiling at me, saying 'Hola' to me whenever he saw me, looking at me out of the corner of his eye and waving at me. So in return, I made him a little heart out of poppyseeds :P He gave me two truffles on my last night, which was adorable. I'll never forget him :)

'All good things must come to an end.'

That saying is well true. We took this picture on the last night in Tenerife. The lights are beautiful, the resort is beautiful, the weather is beautiful: Tenerife is beautiful. I loved my holiday and I would love to go back and do it all again. Please enjoy some more pictures of some of the sites I saw.
