"Do you want to go to the seaside?" My holiday in Devon

Here is part two of my holiday last week:
After seeing the sights of Bath me and my boyfriend began the rest of our time away. We caught the train from Bath Spa station (changing at Bristol) down to Exeter, then getting a connecting one taking us out to the coast. Got to admit with it raining most of the journey and with a rubbish forecast we hadn't got our hopes up much about the weather!

Despite the changeable weather we kept ourselves really busy with numerous cream teas (Reiss is still a newbie, having never had them before last year :o ) lots of trips down to the sea in the evenings which was about a five minute walk, a trip to Exeter shopping, bike ride along the river and visiting other nearby towns.

Our last day was particularly special as we went quite a distance to get there (about an hour and a half on tiny twisty Devon roads) but the sun was out and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. We went to Salcombe.. A gorgeous seaside town, with a harbour one side and beaches the other and a cute highstreet and also where the first Jack Wills shop was. Definitely a place where the rich and famous can feel at home with a two bedroom apartment setting you back about £1,500,000!!!

As you can see I got quite snap happy in Salcombe but it really was a gorgeous place! Has anyone else been to Salcombe or Devon recently? xxx

Birthday time....

Today was spent beginning my birthday celebrations for my 20th which is on Tuesday (more on that in a sec!) I went out for a little lunch with my family on the Pier at Southwold a seaside town about 30 minutes from where I live. Followed by afternoon tea at my grandparents' house.

Now if you look really closely you can see that beneath the 'Happy Birthday' (iced on rather badly by yours truly) it says Diamond Jubilee - because this is actually meant to be a Jubilee cake! We bought it from Sainsbury's to be my birthday cake as the crown and bunting were just too cute to resist. Plus my birthday is only a day after the Queens! Adding on a little icing made it slightly more personal.

Anyway the reason for starting the birthday celebrations early is because on the actual day on Tuesday I'm off to Bath with my boyfriend Reiss and then on down to Devon so it made sense to celebrate with the family at the weekend. So excited for our little holiday although it does mean there will be a little break from blogging but I'll be sure to take lots of outfit pictures/touristy snaps and do lots of posts when I'm back to make up for it (fingers crossed everyone please for the weather to cheer up a bit!).

How do all of you normally celebrate your birthdays?

Now I'm off to pack, any tips on how to cater for all weathers without taking my whole wardrobe?! xxx

Summer evening outfits and a splash of the seaside

Top row: Me in my new blouse- Primark, shorts- Primark (Classy!) and me in the car

Bottom row: Boat on the beach at Aldeburgh and my sister in the dress I bought last week- Primark!

Oh the joys of having at field (or two) at the end of your garden! My sister and I quickly nipped there yesterday to take a couple of pictures before we went out for dinner with the rest of the family in Aldeburgh a really nice nearby seaside town.

This post definitely gives the impression of my sister and I being Primark addicts but it was purely the combination of my finds last week (which you can see in my vlog) and what we felt like wearing! Also how different do my sister and I look?! She is the only blonde in the family!

I teamed my new pink blouse with my old floral shorts creating a very girlie look, finished off nicely with my hair up in an up-do and a flower clip!

Despite the lovely heat at the moment once we got to Aldeburgh due to it being an easterly wind it was pretty chilly and none of my pictures came out great apart from this one of the boat! Also I threw in a random picture of me in the car on the way as I like the blurred background, absolutely love my sunglasses from Topshop. I bought them last summer but I reckon they can happily see me through this year!

How has everyone been making the most of the weather? xx
