um - HELP, I'm off to ibiza and i need HELP!

[2protecttheinnocent]

Sorry but I'm desperate

I've had a bit of a lousy time of it lately (see other thread)

A very good friend has booked a long weekend away to ibiza for us. I've not been away for a while (ok years) not been clubing for a long time (ok a decade or more) am not a teenybopper (ok I'm middle aged) am not a super model (I'm ok ish in the dark) or and I'm not tanned (soon so pale I'd pass for a corpse)

Help. What do I need to pack, what are the essientials???

Panicking a bit

Flat but stylish!

There nice, next? I feel an order coming on. Would you match the bag to them?

Sorry but I really am clueless unless it formal, work stuff or mummy clothes

I dont have anything to add.....but it sounds like a fab holiday

Apart from the price of drinks

Yes I know the drink are silly expensive, but still In really looking forward to it.

I believe space is closing this year??

Will try, cooking spaghetti bolognese at the moment for dinner. lol

Oh karma is there no and to your talents! Thank you

I do own a Rebecca Minkoff Women's Mini 5 Zip Metallic Leather Cross Body Bag. Which may match the colour of those shoes.

All this talk of Space and DC10, I'm feeling (spiritually) homesick!

I will go back, I will.

Check out this band to get you in the mood

My son is a dj in Ibiza and this is a picture of him and his girlfriend waiting to go to Amnesia if that helps ?

So long as it's simple and not too much print then it's alright to pair in those shoes.

Let me know if you'll get that one from Next, I can give you a code £20 off £50 spend online.

Anything else you are lacking of?

Miss going on a holiday too! Hopefully soon.

Soozikinzi thank you they look like a lovely couple.

Karma it's this bag I'm pretty sure this is the colour too.

I've also got these fitflops so they all kind of mix and match (hopefully!)

Desperately in need it a beach bag one that would do double as carry on for the flight would be good?

Also need jewlery, would it be insane to go for gold coloured stuff to match bag and shoes??

This one will suit white kaftan which you chose already from Next.

Yeah have to go simple necklace now as bag and sandals matching

I've been to Ibiza a few times in recent years, and am agreeing with Jaimx that anything goes and no one will give a monkeys what you're wearing. But even if you're very casual, you'll need 'done' hair and make-up. Loads and loads of girls go out at night in shorts and flat sandals, but they still look groomed.

If you're near Talamanca, then don't miss Ibiza Old Town (Eivissa) which is awesome, and very cosmopolitan at night. And even though you're on the wrong side of the island for San Anonio's Sunset Strip, it's worth shelling out for a taxi just for the experience. We got back a few weeks ago, and had a couple of amazing nights at Cafe del Mar and Cafe Mambo (and its very casual down there).

Have a fab time!

Hair and make up I can manage without any problems. Thankfully. So that's something at least. I'm pretty lucky to have a great haircut that looks groomed even if I do nothing to it.

I think the best plan is to order a few bits and try them on see what works together etc. And then take it from there. Id prefer to keep it pretty simple so that everything kind of goes together so I can just concentrate on having fun!

I've been shopping. I've got a few bits fingers crossed I've got it about right??

Shorts and trousers

Managed to find a goldish toned belt kind of like this one which I figuered id could wear with shorts?

Thought I could wear the black top and trousers together,

The play suit is SOOOO flattering

The dress is kind of cute and weighs nothing

Got this as a beach cover up and i love it (PLEASE don't tell me I've lost my mind) figuered a wear it with shorts, sunglasses and a big smile (cause I'm going to be in Ibiza!!!!)

Oh and i got this as another cover up - probably for the evenings. I'm going to put a few vest tops in both cropped and long and just go and have fun (hopefully)

All looks great 2. Can I ask where you got the trousers from? I'm moving abroad in a few weeks and really need to move away from jeans!

Love the beach cover up!!
