After about 9 years, Sunday was our last ever time at our caravan as we have had to sell it this year. It's been quite emotional actually; didn't think a static caravan could become a home to me. We decided to go to a carboot in the morning (I was hoping to find some vintage clothes, but I was unsuccessful). Me, my mum and my dad then walked my dog (Jinni) at East Beach. Though it was windy, it was still very pretty. It actually inspired Cotes' Sleepy Lagoon.
We then had to pack up our stuff and we decided to end the day at our favourite place to eat in Selsey town and that's The Riviera. I stuffed my face, I'm ashamed to admit but it was totally worth it. We said bye to Bunn Leisure and then head home. This post might not mean much to you readers but saying bye to our caravan in Bunn Leisure was hard to do for my family. But, things change, I'm sure something better is coming on the horizon.

Celebrations

My amazing new shoes :D 
Me and my brother with our hot dogs in Chichester :) 
My makeup for my mum's birthday dinner (notice the Time-Turner from Harry Potter!) 
My 90's inspired outfit outside Frankie and Benny's 
Cosmopolitan ;) 
My Cajun Chicken Calzone 
My awesome parents <3 
Eton-Mess Sundae 
Me and my brother again 

Well I was too tired to post this last night so I'm posting tonight instead! This weekend was our last ever weekend at our caravan of 8years down at Selsey. So as it was a goodbye and it's my mum's birthday on Monday, we made the most of it. Yesterday, we started the day with a shopping trip to Chichester town and I bought some gorgeous black ankle boot heals from New Look, I love them and I am literally going to wear them every day! We also saw these awesome street performers/buskers called Steel and Strum, check out this clip here: http://tinyurl.com/steelandstrum 
We then grabbed a hotdog.. So good. 
After we got back I dressed up a bit for our meal at Frankie and Benny's. I wanted something that was elegant but had a bit of edge to it. I chose a white shirt and paired it with a navy blue lacy high waisted skater skirt; looking super cute with my side plat and gold and nude/natural colour eyeshadow colours I used. To make my outfit more edgy, I added some fishnet tights with my new boots and added red lipstick, gave it a bit of a rock feel I think. I also chose to add my gold Time-Turner replica from Harry Potter to go with the gold buttons on the shirt to complete the outfit. Also, the bag in the photo I've got on my shoulder is my baby, I use it everyday. 
The meal was amazing, and the cocktail I had was so delicious! I always recommend Frankie and Benny's for a celebration outing. 
After the meal, we rounded off the evening with a trip to the cinema to watch Richard Curtis' new film "About Time". Such an inspirational film and wonderful story lines, I would love to watch it again. Definitely go and see it! Such a lovely day over all :)

Wrecking ball; mess? Or art?

Another short and quick post but I would love to get opinions. Miley Cyrus' new music video has gained a lot of negative views. But, it was directed by one of my heroes; Terry Richardson. The video falls in line with his normal work which is all controversial and I love his work because it provokes emotion and reaction. Compared to a lot of his work, Wrecking Ball is probably pretty tame. 
However, the issue people have is that she used to be "Hannah Montana" on Disney Channel and it's not what kids want to see. But, everyone changes and grows up. She's not trying to push Disney away, it's just part of how she has matured. One of her biggest idols is Lady Gaga (another person who I adore). She is known for provocative and shocking outfits people have adjusted and expect this now, maybe it's time we accept Miley as this too? 
I personally think the video is brilliant, but I am bias so please, feel free to comment on what you think of the video :)

Stinking of roast dinner... Lush..

Well, it's a quick post tonight, worked my first shift at my new job as a waitress, tomorrow I'll be on the bar... It's hard to be stylish and attractive when you stink of roast dinner... But, black is slimming.. I guess... At least I'll be able to get lots of new clothes with all my money that will come in, so that means more to blog about! Yay :D 
But for now, I'm off to bed, nunight, hopefully tomorrows post will be more interesting :)

Tasty treat

Me with my Mars bar milkshake as big as my head! 
This was my M&M chocolate waffle with vanilla ice cream 
This is my friend's Bannoffee crepes 
My other friends customised Nutella with strawberries and vanilla ice cream waffles 
And finally my friends strawberry and butterscotch waffles with whipped cream 

Well, today was a long day, even though I only woke up at 12 (I'm becoming so lazy) but I got up and I decided to wear my new vintage jumper from Arrow and Eva with some old denim shorts and tights (because it's cold and raining in England). I paired it with my new white lacy socks and my new creepers that I got for a bargain on eBay! I chose to have dark makeup, not just because I love having dark makeup but also because it looked amazing with the dark colours of the jumper and my dark hair for a winter look! 
After I had to go to the dentist I drove three of my friends and myself to Creams in Slough which is a place that only serves desserts (I know, heaven!) I've posted photos of what we all had and what it was called but my goodness, this place is amazing! And not too pricy either; I highly recommend it! 
After all the sweet food we felt we needed some savoury, so of course, what better place to go than Maccy Ds! We had a cheeky happy meal and then headed home. I have posted where I got the clothes in the images above, and if they aren't available, I have posted similar looking items. Thanks for reading!

One of those days.

I'm having one of those days. One of those days when you decide your life needs to change. One of those days when you need to do something productive. Creative. I have a lot planned for this year and I hope I can be committed enough to do it all. I have high hopes for my future and today I feel really down and feel as though changes need to be made. ASAP. This blog is a start. It's been on my todo-list for a long time and I'm going to do my best to get it started to not only express myself but to talk about fashion and my other life passions. I hope I can interest some of you to read and follow along.
