Soooo it’s that time of year again…planning THE BIG HOLIDAY with the girls. Yay. Don’t know what to expect? Here’s our handy guide to get you through…
Gotta pack light but don’t know what’s right? Step one: don’t panic. You can rock a lighter load and still have all the things you need to have a killer OOTD.
A girls holiday is a rite of passage. From the minute the flights were booked you’ve been daydreaming of cocktails by the pool and getting tanned AF.
Of course, no holiday ever goes to plan, so here are ten things that happen on every squad holiday…
1. While booking less luggage seemed like a great idea at the time (more money for cocktails, right?) when you and your bestie try and combine your summer ‘drobes into one case you realise it ain’t ever gonna shut. Woops.
2. The minibus to the airport turns into a bit of a rave thanks to your summer Spotify playlist. Tune.
3. You arrive at the hotel and realise the pictures from the website may have been edited to say the least. The extra bed is actually a mattress on the floor. Fail.
4. Day one = tan time, right? While you all soak up some much-needed Vitamin D, your BFF gets the carrot oil out only to resemble a lobster two hours later. Where’s the after sun at?
5. All-inclusive cocktails seem like a good idea at the time until you’re a man down and putting them to bed at 10PM.
6. Going to bed early doesn’t seem so silly come 4AM when someone suggests getting matching tattoos. #SquadGoals
7. By day three, someone’s already had to phone their mum for a bank transfer and do the whole “help me, I’m poor” charade.
8. Is it even a holiday if you’re not hounded by club promoters and doing free shots before you end up in a karaoke bar?
9. By day five, being sober seems like a distant memory. Tequila Sunrise for breakfast, anyone?
10. It’s home time. Sob. You almost miss your flight thanks to someone spending too much time in duty free and spend the flight home shivering thanks to your sunstroke/regretting your new ink.
Same again next year?
It’s the middle of February, Christmas is long gone and V Day is over. But don’t sweat it – whether you’re at work or bossing uni, there’s still something to look forward to…SUMMER ’17.
Stuck on where to go? Here are our top picks for you to vibe that just booked feeling…
Halloween’s outta here and Bonfire Night’s been and gone so the official countdown to Christmas is on. All that glitters may be gold but your Christmas jumper is your number one piece to nail. Here’s what’s dropped RN to get ahead of the game…
“My favourite thing about holiday season is the energy – everyone is so loving and warm.”
IT’S HERE! Part two of our exclusive collab with the babein, Jordyn Woods has dropped – just in time for party season. Excited? You should be!
Mykonos
by Naomi Cooper
We fancied getting that last spot of sun before summer was officially over and what better place to go than this summer’s hotspot, the island of Mykonos? Renowned for both its beauty and nightlife, the island has something for everyone. So whether you’re the sort to dance all night, a sunset seeker or you just wanna get that Insta snap to make your mates jel, it’s the place for you!
As much as we hate to admit, hot girl stalking on Insta usually sits within our daily grind. Hell, if we were getting paid for it we’d be raking in twice as much as we do on the daily, and there would be MUCH more attention to detail at that. Sure, some fire female bods can be… #unrealistic, but none the less, it’s great summer bod motivation. Especially the case for those of us who are now trying to cram what was supposed to be 3 months gym work into a measly 3 week ‘miracle’.
If you’re on the lookout for a new insta-stalk, take inspo from just a few who are killin’ it:
Tash Oakley
Chances are this bikini babe is already on your hot girl checklist. Best known for killer #BOTDs (bikini of the days), exotic back drop and flawless beach wave hair, you bet we’re all just a bit jealous. Wherever you’re going this summer, make a statement on the beach in a red hot (literally) bandage bikini.
It ain’t all about the swimwear. What you wear with is just as key. What’s sheer, slick and sassy all over? You in a killer cover up
Kimonohhhhh
Think embroidered detailing, rows of tassels and the most statement prints around. Because no-one looks to look boring on the beach
