Brighton Birthday Bonanza!

It was my birthday last Thursday, (I was 29! Eeeeeep!) so me and the girl booked a night away in possibly one of my fave cities in the world, Brighton. I absolutely love the atmosphere, the shops, the restaurants, the seaside... everything. The only things I bought were Urban Decay Primer Potion in 'sin', and when I got back to Basingstoke, I got a pair of navy chino type trousers and a really pretty floral dress. I will have to take the dress back though.. It didn't do up around the boob area :-( I had so many lovely presents, cards and a beautiful bouquet of flowers.







Kara and I taking a well earned tea break!


An actual, real life Twinkie! I was so excited to find a candy store (Cyber Candy) in the Laines that sold sweets from all over the world! I had a Twinkie and I got my sister some Jolly Ranchers, and picked up some Tim Tams for my Aussie friend in Vegas.
This is what I wore to walk round Brighton on the Saturday:

I finally wore my high waisted Beth Ditto jeans! They are SO comfy. The only problem I have is the zip is on the side, so it's a bit of a kerfuffle to get them on! I really like they fit and the way they feel and really, how they make me feel... bootilicious!


The top is from an ASOS sale ages ago. The espadrilles are Primark mens. I did get the ladies ones originally, but ended up ripping them in frustration from trying to get them on! The mens one are a lot wider and easier to get on. I think these will be my staple summer shoes. Comfortable, light, and on trend!


I hope everyone enjoyed the sunny weather we had. Here's to many more!

Soo jealous you have the BD jeans and you are looking fab! I really like your new glasses.

I love Brighton too. We have friends moving there in the summer. I envision lots of weekend trips down there.

Roll on BIG BEACH BUMS!

Happy belated birthday! The top looks great on you. Good tip about buying those Primark espadrilles in the men's section instead. The women's ones were uncomfortably tight on me too.

Happy Belated Birthday! :)

Love the outfit! Especially the top!

I don't think I've been shopping in Brighton before, but I've been to Basingstoke a handful of times as it's roughly 20ish mins away from me.

Your hair is looking lovely as always xx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And remember 29 is just a number - you are the age you feel! And on the plus side : you do so not look 29. I guessed 22 or 23, well at least younger than me!
