Ibiza, Day One

I know I've been a bit useless recently, and hardly blogged at all last week.
But I have a good excuse, guvna!
I've been on 'oliday!
At the weekend a few friends & I escaped the miserable bank holiday weather and headed off to Ibiza.


Let's dive in, shall we?


Sorry, couldn't resist!
Anyway.
Friday pretty much consisted of a long breakfast, leading into a longer lunch...















Jamjar's amazing cocktails; Mind Erasers.
Tequila, simple syrup, lime & ice.






After lunch, the boys stayed home to sunbathe & the girls headed into Ibiza town to do what we do best...
Shop!




I've never been to Ibiza before and I was amazed at how lovely the shops & people were.
We spent hours dipping in & out of bead stalls & vintage boutiques.
Holala! was the firm favourite & we left with arm fulls of vintage YSL, Dior & Chanel goodies.
If you're planning a trip I highly recommend it.
Be sure to befriend the owner who'll be buzzing around somewhere, and remember: if it's vintage you can always haggle.


Then it was home for a quick change before dinner at Bambuddha Grove and far too much excitement at Pacha for the opening party.









We danced until the sun came up & our feet couldn't take it anymore.



I think it's safe to say we started the weekend off with a bang!

  1. Why couldn't the weather be like that here ? I'm have two weeks off and was really looking forward to spending all the time outside, and what happened. It started raining and it has no end.
    This post is amazing ! I really wanna go on a holiday now. Looks like you had loads of fun. Can't wait to see rest of the days !

  9. Rose, I utterly adore your blog, and have quietly done so for the last six months, and am rather too thrilled whenever I spy a new entry from you. Your first day, and night, in Ibiza seemed divine, if you did not seem so lovely I would be incredibly envious of you and all your (stunning) friends! Oh, and I think your au naturel holiday hair looks gorgeous...

    I can barely wait for your next post...

    1. Hi Tom,
      Exciting! I'm sure you'll have a lovely time.
      The food was actually pretty terrible at bambuddha grove, I'd give it a miss if I were you.
      We had a great night, but it was mostly down to the company & the cocktails!

  14. Hi Rose,

    Sorry I know you get bombarded with questions on your blog buuutttt....in the second to last photo, your friend is wearing a pair of Nike Air Max 1s in the exact colour i've been looking for for months - any idea where she bought them from?

    Thank you!

    Rose, I love your blog, great photos, great ideas and inspiration (and you're gorgeous of course). But why does it now say The Londoner all over your pics? It looks ugly and ruins them a bit... Is it because of Pinterest and people pinning your photos without giving you proper credit? Anyway, looking forward to day two in Ibiza :)))

    1. I hate it too, it takes ages & ruins the pics a bit!
      Unfortunately people steal my photos and put them up all over the web.
      So I don't really have a choice :(

      Maybe a tiny (c)Rose@thelondoner in the bottom corner would be better though? Although then people could easily chop it off I guess... Day 2 in Ibiza was a great post! :)

  35. You really don't strike me as the type who would go to Pacha! I guess it just goes to show not to judge a book eh! How was it? I've been to the London one but heard it doesn't compare to the original Ibiza club! Lovely photos and posts as per usual. I am extremely jel of you and your life and I can't deny it! :)
