My Croatian Camera Roll

 Are you a nosey person? 

If you answered yes to the question above then you've come to the right blog!

I went to the beautiful Croatia last week and took some pictures during my stay. Instead of uploading them all to Instagram (which would be a little boring) I decided to create this blog post where I can share all my holiday snaps with you

Spending quality family time is becoming more and more difficult as time goes by as we are all so busy. My wonderful Moomin (as we like to call her) likes to take my brother and I away in the summer for a week of fun. Just the three of us.

We stayed in a modern apartment in a town called Okrug. It was incredibly quiet with a lovely beach and harbour. The sea was a beautiful blue and there wasn't an ounce of feeling overcrowded on the beach. It was quiet and serene and not a murmur of club music was heard whilst I was trying to unwind and relax on my sun lounger. My kinda heaven.

Heads up - If you order a lemonade in Croatia you get fresh lemon juice. #saysprite

A local Croatian man honks a horn and sells Croatian Corn. Not my regular 'go to' snack whilst sunbathing on the beach but I thought I'd give it a try!

Don't mind me and my Tubigrip...

In the evenings we would get a short boat ride to a beautiful town called Trogir. This was a busier place with lots of lovely restaurants, cobbled streets and endless ice cream parlours.

 Meal times consisted of eating amazing food, drinking lots of beer and playing cards at the table. Playing cards whilst eating in a restaurant is apparently rude but, yeah, whatevs...

 

I won seven card games in a row (just so ya know)

 What an incredible holiday. Beautiful scenery, amazing weather and the best company. Thank you Croatia and thank you Mum and Dexter for being the best company.

 I hope you enjoyed a quick flick through my Croatian camera roll. 

Thank you for reading and I'll see you in my next bloggy.

Looking For A Perfect Party Dress? Warehouse Have Got It Covered

My Dad's 50th birthday party was fast approaching and a trusty monochrome jumpsuit was sitting in my wardrobe waiting for June 6th to hurry the hell up!

I soon discovered my hip hop Daddio was planning on wearing quite a jazzy dinner jacket and I soon realised this was not the time for a standard monochrome jumpsuit. My Dad's dinner jacket of choice was PINK! If he was going to wear pink I would have to step up my game too and before I knew it I found myself googling 'perfect party dresses' (even if it meant having my bandaged leg on show then so bloody be it!)

My Dad would only be turning 50 once so I decided to purchase a dress with a little sparkle. I spotted this beautiful Warehouse dress on the Asos website and fell completely in love.

I purchased this beauty for £42 reduced from £85. BARGAIN. 

I absolutely love the detail and the flattering shape. It nips you in at the waist; it has t-shirt styled sleeves and its main feature is a gorgeous detailed back.

What more could you want in a party dress?

I often find detail backs look beautiful from the back but never very flattering from the front. You often can't wear a bra and you spend the evening feeling a little errrr conscious of any wibbly wobbly bits. NOT WITH THIS DRESS! Well done Warehouse for designing a dress where you can wear your trusty push up bra and not walk around the swanky party worried about the fact you haven't gone braless since you were about twelve. Half the guests hadn't seen me since I was about twelve anyway so that probably wouldn't have mattered... 

You can purchase this perfect party dress from Warehouse by clicking here

I teamed it with these lovely £39 Zara heels with elegant silver anklet straps and an oversized studded clutch from TK MAXX.

Thanks Warehouse for making such a beaut of a dress and for sticking it in the sale section conveniently before my Dads birthday bash! 

Thanks for reading and I’ll see you in my next bloggy :)

My Catwalk Killa Co-Ord

The lovely girls from Catwalk Killa sent me a gorgeous co-ord in the post last week. Catwalk Killa is a brand new online boutique run by two best friends. My Co-ord arrived beautifully packaged and I've been in touch with the girls via email and I gotta say Lauren and Vicky are a delight! 

The Co-ord is so comfy, easy to wear and stylish. I've teamed it with a pair of black heels, peach nails and an oversized studded clutch bag.

There are no ends to Catwalk Killa's generosity and they have given you a discount code if you'd like to purchase anything! It's a brand new company so be sure to keep checking their website for any brand spanking new pretty items.

Just type the discount code CARELLE 10 at the checkout!

I am so excited to see more from Catwalk Killa. Best of luck girls!

27 Things That REALLY Grind My Gears

1) Limp handshakes. Unless your hand is broken there is no excuse. At all.

2) That squeeky rubbery feeling of the dishes as soon as they come out of the dishwasher.

3) When people hold their knife like a pen whilst eating. 

4) Eating with your mouth open. This is so basic yet such a struggle for some.

5) People that walk really slowly when you're running really late and it makes you REALLY angry. 

6) Those that insist they would OF done something. Fibber. You would HAVE done something. Get it right.

7) People that change lanes without indicating. It's that little stick only an inch away from your bloomin finger. Cummon people.

8) Parents that let their children bring their iPads to dinner at a restaurant. Our future generation will forever lose the art of conversation...

9) Not being able to find the start of the sellotape. It really shouldn't be this challenging.

10) Lazy people that throw their cigarette butts on the pavement. SMOKE IT IN. FIND A BIN. That's what I say.

11) Paying for public toilets to find them smelly, skiddy and with a lack of toilet roll. I paid 30P for this. 30 ACTUAL P.

12) People that park in Disabled spaces. So you want their parking space. Do you want their disability too? Nah didn't think so...

13) Facebook statuses that use absolutely no grammar or punctuation and it really annoys me does it annoy you too yeah coz I didnt wanna understand your status anyway coz nobody got time for that do you know what I mean yeah coz I totally get that babes 

14) Having a delicious lunch at someones house. You go to use their toilet and find they have zero trace of hand wash soap in their toilet. Ew. Ew. Ew.

15) Feeling the social pressure to tip a distinctly average waiter to discover the bill INCLUDED service charge. Read the small print people.

16) Having to show your bloody boarding pass every time you buy something at the airport. No, I don't remember my flight number. All I want is some Goddam Immodium.

17) Spending an eternity at the petrol pump waving your arms like a complete lunatic for the petrol service man to FINALLY spot you. 20 minutes later... 

18) Paying £3.75 for an undrinkable coffee. Babes, you've been making coffee all day. HOW can you suddenly make an incredibly MILKY and COLD coffee as soon as I come in. DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS MOMENT?

19) Dear Hotel. If I wanted a shot glass worth of Orange Juice with my breakfast buffet I would have requested it. This is not the War. Why must we be on rations...

20) Trying to save the planet by using energy saving lightbulbs. Then having to sit in darkness for three hours until the light bulb actually gives off light. Splendid.

21) When you've just got very comfy on the sofa and realise the remote control has VANISHED. Then having to psych yourself up for that hideous three second walk towards the TV to manually change the channel. Life is a struggle.

22) "Ring ring. Ring ring. 
     Hello...?
     You're entitled to PPI..."
     YOU'VE JUST RUINED MY LIFE FOR THE EIGHTH TIME TODAY.

23) When your dishwasher decides to HALF CLEAN your dishes. Oh good. I really wanted to use a plate with dried up crusty avocado from three days ago.

24) Having to insert £1 for the privilege of loaning a battered supermarket trolley. Why does this still exist? No one actually wants to KEEP your trolley. 

25) "Does anybody have an iPhone charger?"
    "Yep, I've got one! iPhone 5 yeah?"
    "Yes please"
    "Yeah it's at home"
    FABULOUS

26) People that clap when the plane successfully lands. No. Please no.

27) Asking someone to kindly take a picture for you. It's fuzzy, out of focus and totally shit. And they only took ONE. Super.

I know it's all harmful stuff and in the grand scheme of things none of this is really THAT annoying but I hope you can relate to at least a few of the above. I really enjoyed brainstorming for this blog. If you have any more I may have missed out please drop me a comment and let me know!

P.S - If you're reading this and you're a limp handshaker, disabled space parker, plane clapper and a PPI seller I am totes sorry if this offends you... 

Thank you so much for reading and I'll see you in my next bloggy :)

My Missguided Jumpsuit - £15

I have never appreciated the invention of a jumpsuit more than I have the last couple of months. You can find out why jumpsuits have been my saving grace recently by clicking here...

Missguided has the most amazing sale on their jumpsuits at the moment. You will not be stuck for choice and you will certainly not be disappointed by the price point. I picked up this gorgeous fitted jumpsuit for just £15 reduced from £35.

The floral print is feminine without being too girly and the wrap style is incredibly flattering. I don't normally go for a low cut style but sometimes you just gotta dig out that push up bra and fake it til you make it.

The jumpsuit is fitted without it feeling like I'm wearing a tight catsuit. It hugs the body in a really flattering way without it clinging to any lumpy bumpy bits. Ain't nobody got time for that...

You can purchase this monochrome dream right here. Well done Missguided for your constant sale items which don't scream "THIS IS IN THE SALE BECAUSE IT'S SO LAST SEASON AND NO ONE WANTS IT ANYMORE." Their sale items are current, fashionable and extremely affordable. 

Thank you for reading and I'll see you in my next bloggy :)
