Packing For Cuba!


I think I'm one of the only people I know that actually enjoys packing for a holiday. Don't get me wrong it does stress me out but on the whole it makes me really excited! I always try to be super organised and have set outfits for set nights with everything all matching but I never fail to over pack which always leads to sweaty palms when my case is getting weighed at the check-in desk! 

Tomorrow I'm flying out to the Caribbean island of Cuba with my mum and my step-dad for a 2 week holiday. It's the third time we've visited Cuba and I'm extremely excited as I fell in love with the country and its culture the very first day I spent there. 

Bikinis are an ESSENTIAL part of any beach holiday. I tend to be verrrrrry picky when it comes to choosing swimwear but this year I managed to find 4 that I really like. I usually go for strapless bikinis as I don't like having tan lines from straps but this year I have ventured out and bought 2 strapless ones, one navy and one black, and 2 with straps, one baby pink with black trim and one with a floral pattern.

I thought that these 2 playsuits would be perfect for casual day time outfits.

White with fruit print: River Island

For me when it comes to beach cover ups the cheaper the better and this year I have decided to get a bit creative. I bought these two t-shirts from Primark (both in size 18 so the would be really oversized) and I have decided to cut off the sleeves and make them into dresses. Two beach dresses for £4, really can't complain! 

Summer fashion is definitely my favourite so when it comes to choosing outfits to wear at night I am always spoiled for choice. I have managed to whittle down my wardrobe to these 14 outfits...
