Ooh What’s All This about Changes To Our Holiday Habits?

What do you look for when you’re booking a holiday, and have your habits changed over the last few years? It’s pretty likely the answer is YES!

As someone who travels for a living, and hopefully inspires you to venture on a few trips too, changes to holidaying could mean big things!

Just a couple of days ago, a UK travel survey dropped into my inbox that really got me thinking. I get plenty of reports on the travel industry, packed with stats, facts and figures. 90% I wave goodbye to pretty quickly! But it was interesting to see that in this particular study, holiday habits are really starting to change.

I asked friends and family about it, and similar to the survey, price, weather and reviews were three of the top things they researched thoroughly before parting with their hard earned cash. I used to get obsessed with checking the weather before my holidays. Refresh. Sunny. Refresh. Sunny. Refresh. Showers. Damn, I wish I hadn’t looked. And repeat…

12 Summer Holiday Outfits Under £35

beach fashion

I round up the best of the summer fashions, from tropical print playsuits, to cute bikinis, so you’re guaranteed to look gorgeous on your summer holiday!

It’s fair to say that as I’m away so often, I don’t get to shop much. And when I do, it’s mainly online (HELLO ASOS!!)  I’ve always enjoyed picking out new things, and I LOVE the feeling of going out in a whole new outfit. Just this week though, I’ve been looking ahead to summer and spotted a few dreamy items I really want to snap up before my next sunshiney adventure.

When it comes to summer holidays, I like to keep things simple in a playsuit or dress, usually over a bikini. If you’re not jet-setting too much, then it’s important to keep things budget friendly too – after all, how often will you really get to wear those skimpy outfits in the UK? Everything below is under £35, and many items are around £20! This year there are some awesome prints and styles around, so time to round up a few looks I’m lusting after right now!

Floozie By Frost French Pom Pom Basket Beach Bag – £25

I absolutely adore this fun beach bag! It’s the perfect size for suncream, wallet, sunnies, a towel and a phone… plus those all important beach snacks! Plus we all know pom poms are in this season!
