"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

My week....

Hi everyone, hope you are all enjoying the bank holiday weekend and fingers crossed the weather hasn't ruined your plans too much! It's been a funny old week for me- working at the beginning of it and then coming back to uni on Wednesday.

As all of my friends had finally finished their exams I decided to head back to Canterbury to celebrate with everyone the end of our second year before we all head back to our homes all over the country. I also came back to pack up my room and tidy the house I've been renting with my friends Alice & Tom, we were e-mailed a 6 page list of what required cleaning!!! It's definitely safe to say I am sick of the smell of cleaning products! Has anyone else had to do such a deep-clean for their house?! My stuff has finally all been packed and is waiting in a large heap for my Dad to come and pick me up tomorrow. It's really sad to think I'm not going to be here for almost 3 months!

Anyway, here are a few snaps of my week-

1) Left pic- This is my friend Zoe and I before we headed out on Wednesday night (and the return of my favorite denim shorts!)

2) Top right pic- On my way back to Canterbury on Wednesday I was passing through Stratford Westfield going past the Samsung shop when I saw loads of people in one corner of the shop so being the nosy parker I am I went in to see what they were all doing...and then who should walk out to advertise the launch of the new Samsung phone but PIXIE LOTT.... I was completely amazed and quickly got my phone out to take a picture of her (she looked even more gorgeous in real life, the pic doesn't do her justice) also her boyfriend Oliver Cheshire (model and complete hottie) was peeking out from behind the scenes! Very surreal moment for a wednesday afternoon, my boyfriend was very jealous when I told him I'd seen Pixie!

3) Bottom right pic- Sadly I didn't make these beauties but I couldn't resist showing them to you all, aren't they so cute?! I saw them on a website called Baking Mad who had lots of different cake ideas for the jubilee weekend. I am loving the patriotic atmosphere in England at the moment and Union Jacks appearing on everything, sadly I missed a Jubilee Street Party in my village yesterday but apparently it was really good. How are you all spending the Jubilee?

Anyway that's it from me for now, and I just wanted to share with you all this awesome track 'No Hope' that has been released from the Vaccines new album 'The Vaccines come of age'- I can't wait for it to come out!

Lets keep it short...

Cardigan: New Look//T-shirt: H+M//Skirt and Belt: Primark//Boots:Next

Despite loving the current trend of printed trousers being really popular with a lot of people at the moment I can't quite pluck up the courage to wear them myself. So instead I'm embracing the trend in my own little way and wearing patterned shorts instead! (Excuse the facial expression I was looking right into the sun!!)

I love the burgundy colour of these shorts and the browny pattern and belt makes it a bit more exciting. When I saw it in the shop they had modelled a mannequin wearing the shorts with a patterned top that covered up the majority of the shorts, I much prefer tucking in a t-shirt or vest top and styling it like this! Also I promise I'm not wearing slippers, these are my heeled boots that I bought back in the January sales (you can have a better look at them in a previous post I did here).

These are my picks of some of the pattern trousers available at the moment just in case I do decide to just get over my hesitance to embrace a full leg of pattern! What does everyone think? Are Pattern trousers a Do or a Don't? xx
