Travels.

I’m home! Actually shattered but had such a good weekend. I was in London on thursday, as my boyfriend had a big gig so I went down to dance/see London friends. The gig was in KOKO which is a massive venue! It reminds me of Razzmatazz in Barcelona, loads of stairs leading all places.
It was lovely seeing everyone, I love my London friends & going out in London.
Marina of Marina & the Diamonds was out with us & wearing an interesting outfit of a yellow cheerleader top and fluorescent yellow trousers. Very bright! I thought she was in fancy dress at first, having been in a car for seven hours I sat down to dinner with everyone and asked “why’s everyone in fancy dress?” Haha what a loser. She looked very cute though.
On friday morning, Graeme and I got the train to Brighton as he had another gig and we wanted some sun. We had a few days there, it was so so so hot! I didn’t even know Britain could get that hot! Such a lovely city, it was rammed full of sunburnt British people but I had a lovely walk around the back streets and found some amazing shops. I’d love to go back, it’s an awesome city. I asked Vivianna where was good to go and she gave me some awesome recommendations including Bills restaurant where I went for breakfast – amazing!
The last pictures are what I wore out in London, a dusty pink dress from ASOS which I bought with my groupon voucher. It’s a little bit big, I bought a ten but they sent a medium. Since WHEN was a ten a medium?! That’s… worrying & depressing! I’m actually an eight but my dryer shrinks clothes, so I usually buy a size bigger but this is still a bit big! I do like it, but I could do with a smaller size I think. Tragically, I can’t send it back as the groupon voucher doesn’t allow refunds! I think it looks quite cute though. I wasn’t actually going to put up these photos as they’re not the best, but I did in the end. I hate the material of the dress, it creases so easily. Le sigh.
In other news, I am almost at 700 followers! In my last post I mentioned that I had just reached 600! The reason for this being that the gorgeous Lily mentioned me in a post, saying she had bought a skirt after I wore it in an outfit post.
I can’t even begin to say how much I appreciate that, it’s something she didn’t need to do but it shows the kind of person she is. What a lovely girl!
How has everyone spent their bank holiday weekend?

So jealous you got macaroons! Have you had them from L’adurée? Oh my God, I swear they taste like heaven. And you look lovely in the last pictures – the pink ASOS dress is amazing, and your make up looks stunning.

oh wow, shame about the dress size! It is so beautiful though. I’m considering buying it in camel colour. Hopefully for me it comes in the right size. Fingers crossed!

Hello lovely!
Happy Easter! Sounds like you’ve had a jam-packed weekend, but lots of fun! I read that you’re from Leeds…me too!!! I tasted my first macaroon today in bettys at afternoon tea…to die for it was! Love the dusty pink dress, know what you mean about sizing and my tumble dryer is a nightmare for shrinking clothes too!

Omnom, those macaroons look amazing, as does the other food! I’ve not been to Koko in months now, such a nice venue, but yes, massive aha. Love your ASOS dress hun, it’s the perfect colour, hopefully the size issue sorts itself out in the dryer

That looks like a lovely weekend, especially the food!
We’re currently trying to organise a Blogger meet up in Newcastle with some other fellow Geordie bloggers and we’d really love it if all of our INTERNET FWENDS could come too! I’ll let you know when we arrange a date.
