my belated update about time in tenerife

diary from the reef.

I arrived in Tenerife on the 17^th and just went for diner and went to bed, however when I woke up in the morning I was faced with my home for the next few weeks!

On the first proper day I just wanted to explore the shops, look at the difference in the Spanish fashion to London fashion and even how similar it can be in the shop we have the same like, Zara and Pull and bear, which I got some new things but they’re for Christmas so your see those later!
One shop I did love was Bershka was great, it had such a variety of styles, which I got a top from and a simple but great crucifix bracelet!

A crazy thing about what people are wearing out here is the layers. Although it is so hot reaching the high 20’s which is bikini and shorts weather for me, it is still winter here for the local residents so the shops are still selling winter clothing and it is cold for them this time of year they’re wearing scarfs, hats and coats when all I wanna do is sunbath it’s crazy!!

Walking the streets!!

Along the main shopping roads here, there is many men who carry around watches, handbags, bracelets and sunglasses, which they try and sell to you on the street at cheap prices, their selling techniques may be very crafty; stopping you, making convo, getting you to try the stuff on so you fall for it and pay the money after a bit of hustling which they always go for. All the products are fakes, rip offs of real designer brands, in which I thought was hilarious how they change the names not to get sued, I just had to get some for the fun of it, so I purchased some nice new black ‘ReyBeris’  for 5 euros, yep not RayBans but ReyBeris.

Time to get Straight.       
I realised I forgot to bring my straighteners out with me, and I’m someone who has bushy hair and I like to just shove it up in a bun so simple it’s great, but now and again I like to give a good brush and straighten so I just had to get some new straighters you know what it’s like right? So I ventured out to the store ‘Worten’ which is kinda like a Spanish Comet selling all sorts of electricals, and got myself some new fresh Remingtons for only 25 eruos!

MORNING!

Today I decided I wanted to catch some rays but knew I would be popping out and whatever else so just shoved on a plain black skater skirt with a black bandeu, so I could sunbath and be ready to go out with the dog.
What you think of planes; interest you? Well they interest my Dad, and theres me trying to sunbath and he gets the hose out starts annoying me so we got the binoculars and caught the planes going past;  and yep my dad has real RayBans not no ReyBerris

 FELIZ NAVIDAD!

Christmas day was strange for me this year being in Tenerife I sunbathed and went swimming when usually I would have been freezing cold wearing new wolly jumper and socks! How was everyone else’s Christmas the same? Different?
pictures below of what I got when i went shopping and I even got a few surprises!

Zara knit dress with camo print, with a Courreges style of a tunic not body hugging but still compliments your shape.

Also from Zara got a great pair of black velvet shorts which I feel in love with, their black, high-waisted and shorts you can’t go wrong really can you? Put them with and top and it’ll go, I love simple black clothes!

Also in the clothes department I got a great flowing cropped top with a great image. It’s from the shop Bershka which I love, I find it’s a lot like Pull and Bear which they also have here but is a little more daring with their ranges.

Then comes the accessories which ever girl wants, I love to have a range of costume jewellery to make a plain outfit come to life, or change it form a day outfit to a night outfit, or a great bag to compliment the outfit or pull the eye towards the oversized bag if I’m wearing a really plain outfit.
Got bracelets from a Spanish shop called Stradivarius, again it’s a lot like Pull and Bear, I liked it and would recommend I think they have an online store so have a look.

Also got this amazing collar from there for only 9euros couldn’t resist, it’s got hand sewn embellishment of false diamonds, pearls and silver birds, can’t wait to wear it with one of my plain black outfits and them have this just standing out!

A bag is an essential for some days, you may disagree if you’re a pocket person, which I am some days but for most days at uni I need a good sized bag so just had to get a new one ay’ again got this from Zara;

I also have a Thomas Sabo bracelet and lost my charm so I got a new charm, I love my bracelet never take it off hence why it has gotten so dirty; it’s not the usual silver one it’s just an elastic one with the original Sabo ring in the middle which the charms connect too;

Finally every girl loves a perfume, I have wanted this one for ages and finally got it out here in a gift set (even better) it’s Flowerbomb by Viktor&Rolf I love it smells lush and lasts all day!

Some more of my Spanish purchases, a green cardigan which is from a shop called ‘entreuo’ a great shop for basics and it has only just opened!

I then did a trip to a market which is well known in Tenerife, and it was huge I got a couple of great studded bracelet’s and a Jack Daniels printed tee which I brought big so it was longer and I can cut and rip the sleeves off too make it into a casual day dress.
