Spain has got Me Thinking...

About bikinis and getting ready!  Is my bikini body perfected?  Haha not really, so to speak.  I'm one of those girls that just wing it.  I have always been naturally small and I don't recall "dieting" at any stage of my life so far.  I may take this for granted; which I think most people do if they are not entirely 'unhappy' with their body but I never over eat or indulge too much.  I believe that is the key.  Plus I hate that stuffed feeling!  Although I do have a terrible sweet tooth.  I really can't imagine anything would be enough to drive me to the gym that's for sure.  Maybe the odd dance class or yoga.  I think I run around enough on a daily basis.  As long as you are happy, it's your body.  That's what matters I guess.

Hmm... I never intended to become all serious...  Let's just go back to holiday and bikinis shall we?!  Even though I may have tens of bikinis already; this is a lot for someone who doesn't actually swim or like to sunbath.  It didn't stop me from having a browse.


Since I barely dip my toes in the water anyway...

Does this get you in the mood for a holiday or like me, you just like to collect pretty things?  I am literally counting down the days when I shall be rockin' out at High Rock-A-Billy!  Do you have plans for the end of summer?  Anyone else out there attending High?  It would be lovely to meet you :)

There is so much to think about... Packing.  What to pack!  Setting my hair to go to the airport in or not?  I need to buy more hair dye.  I need to buy other holiday essentials too.  Gosh, I really need to make a list before I panic!  Which shoes with which outfit?  What outfits?!  You know for my long weekend to Sweden for Old Style Weekend I managed to bring with me five handbags and five pairs of shoes (not including the wellies)!!

I sound stressed, but really I'm not.  I just like to be organised where possible.  A girl has to look her best right?  You never know who you might meet ;)


I'll keep you updated on my holiday prep.  Off to do more sit-ups.
Only kidding!  Toodles, Alison xxx


Ok, just one more...
This Latex Hearts set is super cute but definitely not made for holiday wear :P
