Oh, hi again. Look at me, getting my stuff together and writing 2 blog posts in one week, clearly finishing university was good for Hauteonmyheels. I've definitely mentioned this far too much for those people who spend time with me, but 9 days till I go on holiday to Florida and I'm more than excited! However, the other day, separating my wardrobe into clothes that I want to take away and clothes for everyday wear, I realised that I am lacking in a few departments. So since I was scrolling around the web, looking for a graduation dress anyway (suggestions more than welcome) then I thought I'd have a little look at the ASOS holiday shop. Low and behold, I found so much that I wish I could add to my holiday wardrobe (seriously, ASOS take my money now) but since I'm a budget, here are my top 10 picks from the holiday shop! 1 ) The first thing, that I absolutely love is this cute little daisy-print mini dress. I love the little cut-out detailing and absolutely adore mini sundresses so I can try get as much of a tan (burn) as much as possible. For me, I think this would be super cute for walking around the Epcot park World Showcase. 2 ) Second thing that I fell in love with is this Black culotte jumpsuit. The light linen fabric for this jumpsuit is perfect for the plane journey as it'll be super comfy and be perfect for that first hit of Floridian/Abroad warmth. Probably not as comfy if you use the toilets on planes as you'll have to practically get naked but I myself tend to avoid them as much as possible. 3 & 4 ) Bikini's are something that I tend not to wear very much, mainly because I don't really ever go swimming and typically go on one holiday a year. But I love this swimsuit, the crinkle cut material is really what drew me towards this as I get such 80s vibes, plus I'm an absolute suck for anything striped. 5 ) Every girl needs at least one maxi dress per holiday, they look so chic and can be worn up or down depending on your situation. I love the high square neck line with this one and the floral print is so cute (Florals for Spring/Summer..). The elegance of this dress would look perfect for some wedges for a fancy meal out at night. 6 ) As I said before, I actually adore mini dress and when they come in my favourite print (spots..) then its just an absolute winner for me. Again I love the high neck on this dress as it can be worn day or night, this could be worn to the beach, to dinner or even to the Disney Parks like I would! 7 ) Absolutely had to include these Superga's as soon as I saw them. I'm actually obsessed with espadrille trainers, particularly my mothers from River Island and Amy's very similar to these. They look so perfect for days when you're doing quite a bit of walking and also perfect plane attire as they are super chic yet look extremely comfortable. 8 ) Probably not so great for plane attire, particularly if you have to take your shoes off at security. But I've become a huge fan of wedges this past year, before you wouldn't find me anywhere near them, but now I've reached my 20s they seem a lot more appropriate for me. Also who would want to wear uncomfortable heels in the heat when you could wear these instead. 9 ) Number 9 just had to be a straw bag, I actually adore these. They've been having a moment since that infamous Zara bag last year and although the Cult Gaia bag is top this year with all the dupes around..I'm still a huge fan of the straw bag. This one is definitely a day time bag and would be great for the beach or a water park! 10 ) Last but not least, one of the integral pieces to have in any girls wardrobe is a pair of blue denim shorts. Personally I'm a huge fan of denim and pretty much wear it every other day so denim shorts are always a winner for me. I personally favour mom shorts as I think they suit me better and also I don't like showing my bum cheeks to the whole world quite as much as I did when I was 16. These are perfect because they can be worn day to night, with a t-shirt, a linen shirt or even a cute tank top. I'm now super excited to go on holiday and planning out little outfit scenarios in my head of what I can wear to each park and firework display. Please note: post is not sponsored, I just loved every single piece from the ASOS holiday section so had to share it! Over and out.

I sit here writing this post at 3.30pm on a Tuesday afternoon, snuggled in my ugly cardigan (that my boyfriend hates so much), with possibly my 5th cup of tea of the day wondering whether it'd be acceptable to take a nap and whether i'll manage to wake up in time {from said nap} for tonight's pointless episode. I, Hannah Louise Ryan, am a 20-something-grandma. Not in the literal sense of being a grandma, as I haven't even got my own children yet but more in the personality sense. Ask my boyfriend, ask my family, ask my friends: they will all tell you the exact same thing that I am a huge grandma. But honestly? I am truly okay with that. Being a 20-something-grandma doesn't make me boring, it just means I enjoy different things to other people. Going out to a club is not the one for me, a few cocktails at a bar or dinner out is definitely for me. Staying up late watching scary movies till 2am in the morning; you go ahead but I guarantee within 20 minutes of the movie I have most likely fallen asleep (especially if you put it on after 9pm). I definitely enjoy stuff that a normal 20 year old does; I'm addicted to the Kardashians, and love a good true crime documentary to get my teeth into. I love spending time with my friends, chatting over coffee or breakfast and I definitely have the energy and sense of humour of a child sometimes. Also ironically, I'm going to Walt Disney World in less than two weeks and I'm definitely not like a grandma there! But other times, I want to sit back with my book, put on the local Radio station, drink my cup of tea, indulge in a box set, get in my pjs early and be the 20-something-grandma that I've grown to love. I used to think that being like this made me strange or boring but it doesn't, it's what makes me, me. I'm okay with being a 20-something-grandma and you should be okay with me being like that too. Now, over and out, as I'm off to pop the kettle on (probably green tea time now), grab a slice of cake and settle down watching a few episodes of Desperate Housewives. Ciao. |
