Holiday Day 3

Last night we went out to dinner and I saw the perfect chance to wear this lovely dress I was given as an end-of-year present from one of the parents at school. I also managed to have awesome hair and awesome make up. I was feeling fantastic and we had a wonderful meal :)

Beautiful night time coast

The view from our balcony the same night.

We're sadly left Polignano yesterday and we're now in Ostuni in a cute little apartment on a tiny little street with a cool, but a little scary roof terrace (read roof!). More pics soon xx

Holiday!

Yesterday was our first day on holiday... our real holiday. We arrived in Polignano a Mare at around 2.30, checked into our hotel and then...

We wandered through the old part of town which is beautiful.

Stood at a few vantage points to take in the view.

Stared in awe at the beautiful sea.

Had a little break from the heat with some TV

Then got dressed up and went out for dinner and drinks.

I definitely do not regret buying my new camera. It's awesome, as you'll see more evidence of tomorrow ;) xx

The Emerald Isle.

I'm sure I have mentioned it several thousand times but a couple of weekends ago we went to Ireland for my niece's confirmation. (ps I'm not Catholic, but everyone in ROI is.) My sister and her family live in Co. Galway and I don't get to visit as much as I'd like so it was a real treat of a weekend.

I spent much time deliberating between three dresses to wear and I was thoroughly pleased with my choice. I really like the bust line in this dress. Having a somewhat ample bosom means things that are too low cut just look slutty, but the print on this dress is also marvelous! It was a little chilly to only be wearing that little blazer, but we didn't spend too much time outside, so it worked out ok. I also wore my Melissa's, which was great fun, but sadly no one commented on my shoes :(

I didn't get any airport pictures, so I may have to recreate the outfit at some point. I brought along my vintage suitcase as carry on luggage and was obviously the best kitted out person on the flight ;) heh

I spent most of the weekend in Jeans and my beloved Gant hoodie because it wasn't warm enough for anything else and I also spent an inordinate amount of time bouncing around on their trampoline. I also participated in a countryside bike ride, illegal field walking/stone wall climbing with my nephew and practically off road driving in the middle of the forestry. It was oodles of fun and I really want to go back :D

Enough of my drivel, have some pictures!

This was my outfit trial. Blazer, Dress, Bag - Primark

Trampoline fun.

P'd off and tired after a delayed flight home.

Have you been away recently? Are you planning a trip? I'm always interested in holiday destinations and photos :)

London. Again.

On Sunday my friend Dan came to visit me from Brighton. He got a great deal on the train... a return to victoria and a travelcard for £8.25!!! Bargain!

I struggled with what to wear because the weather is so iffy lately, I settled with a dress and tights and my big winter coat and proceeded to be sweating anywhere vaguely warm, but it did the trick.

Although I brought my camera with me, I neglected to take any pictures, so you'll have to make do with narrative. We used the loos in the National Gallery and had a quick peek at the impressionists because Dan had never seen them before, then we saw the inside of a lot of pubs before deciding on which one to eat in, then we went to the London Aquarium, which is huge and that shark walk bit is seriously scary, but on the whole, it's not as good at the Brighton sealife centre, after out underground/underwater adventure, we went to Camden where we drank until after dark.

T'was a lovely day, thank you Dan xx

Now for the outfit. Exucse the pictures, I didn't really like any that had my face in, so they're a bit pants.

Cardi - New Look (old), Dress - Primark, Vest top (under dress) - Primark, Grey Striped Tights - Primark, Shoes - Converse, Ebony Ring - South Africa, Silver Necklace - DIY

Also, apologies for the dodgy setting of pictures. There isn't anywhere except by the front door that I can get a full length shot. And there are lots of things in the way. And the mirror is a bit grimy, so I'll try and sort out a better place to take pics next time :)
