Weekend Seaside Funsies

As I said me and the boyf travelled down to his hometown of Hastings for the weekend to have some fun by the sea :D
It actually turned out to be perfect weather and it didn't rain like our iPhones predicted! Yet again I was a bit rubbish on the photo taking front, I was either having too much fun or a little hungover hehe!

Here we are on the fun train ride down:

Lovely sunny beach :D I love how people just head down to the beach for the day to hangout.

Hastings Pier, in October 2010 it was set alight by vandals and 95% of its structure was destroyed, which is really sad :( Regeneration programmes are being discussed and hopefully it can be saved. I do love a good pier!

Me and the boyf having our traditional Hastings Swirly Ice-Cream- so yummy!

As you can see I am terribly un-photogenic when the sun is shining in my eye and I'm holding an ice-cream! (I had to wear my bobble hat as my hair wouldn't behave and was sticking up all over the place). While in Hastings the boyf had a standup comedy gig which are always funny, we saw lots of his friends and got a little bit drunk ;) We wandered around the old town looking at lovely vintage things and cute and kitsch bits and bobs. We ate SO much food too! We had chinese takeaway, a delicious Saturday night roast made the boy's old flatmate and had lunch at Pizza Express with his Mum and Sister. Oh, and those ice creams ;)

While there I did manage to buy some much needed face powder, I decided on the new Bourjois Healthy Balance Unifying Powder in 52 Vanille. I was pretty loyal to my old powder (Bourjois Mineral Radiance Pressed Powder) but I was lured in by the exotic fruit therapy! Yuzu fruit providing anti shine and Sharon fruit providing hydration. I have been really happy with it so far, it's really lightweight so is super easy to apply and it smells like yummy fruit which was a unexpected and nice surprise! It's slim compact bright pink casing (so I won't lose it in the depths of my handbag!) and has a large mirror on the inside too. The only qualm I have is that it doesn't come with a puff applicator like most other Bourjois compacts do, but I just brought a pack of three from Boots for less than £2, so it's not really that bad!

I also bit the bullet and brought the Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner, I thought it would be best to get the cheaper one to see how I got on with a gel liner. I had a little go this morning and it seemed to go ok, no crazy lines all over my face :P

Hope you have enjoyed reading about my weekend away, how were your weekends? Full of fun too I hope!

Weekend Adventures

I can't wait for this weekend! And it starts tonight, wooooo! I have been uber busy with university work recently I feel like I haven't stopped. But this weekend myself and the boyf are travelling down to my home in Hertfordshire and then to his home in Hastings.

We will be only staying at mine for the night for a charity event to raise money for a photography exhibition of my dear friend Tom Swain's work who sadly died this summer. The event is a fashion show showcasing some of the local shops clothing, the shop I'm most excited to see is a local vintage and pre-loved clothing shop called Flutterbys Boutique and I know All Our Yesterdays will have loads of goodies to buy!

On Friday we will be travelling down to Hastings and staying with the boyf's old flatmate right by the seaside, I love it so much! I haven't been to Hastings for about a year and a half so I'm really excited to go! Here's a photo from when I was last there, so long a go I had longer redder hair!

When I get back to Northampton on Monday I should have lots of fun stories and photos to share with you!
