I LOVE SOUTHWOLD!


 Hello/good evening,

I have just rushed upstairs grabbed a cuppa and am now excitedly typing out my blog post, to tell you about my trip to my new favourite place...SOUTHWOLD!


I live in the North, therefore the trip to Southwold took 5-6 hours, the reason for this trip was that my Brother was going to his first festival, Lattitude and my mum wanted to take him, just to make sure he was safe, and of course I was 'dragged' along for the ride.









The B&B we decided to stay in was called 'Sutherland House' (http://www.sutherlandhouse.co.uk) and I HIGHLY recommend. It was very friendly, although not too 'B&B' like, more like a mini hotel. My mum and I stayed in the 'Earl Of Sandwhich' room...I think it was called. It was beautiful (pictures attached, scroll down!), and had the most magnificent bath I has ever seen in all my 17 years!

The BEAUTIFUL bath...
                                                   


Lovely little details









My dream is to live in a barn conversion, so I just had to take a picture of the ceiling. Swoon.










Southwold is most famous for its Beach huts, and I can see why. They came in every colour under the sun, looking inside each of them was my favourite thing to do *sorry owners*.

I want one!
















"Hello? anybody in?"









The little restaurant we ate in - lovely staff





The hallway in our B&B


Tea making facilities - bonus points for this.






2/10 for this movie - not my cuppa tea!











Waiting for the bath to fill up..it took 40 mins, worth it!



Patiently waiting for the bath to fill up...










A little purchase - Laura Gravestock heart ring <3




We only stayed for one night, but what a lovely little night we had! It is somewhere I would love to visit with friends, it has great 'cute' shops and a variety of restaurants to chose from. I probably wouldn't stay for longer than a weekend however, as it is very small, although Southwold you left me wanting more.


I could go on...but I think that's enough for one evening.


Thank you for reading/scrolling through my pictures!

Travel: New York City

Afternoon...

I'M BACK! New York, as ever, was beautiful and busy.
This was my third time in New York, and I love it as much
as the first and second time.

Some snaps from the airport and plane: 






I did rope my mum into playing naughts and crosses!


A lot happened on this trip, so lets get started.

Firstly: My camera broke whilst I was away, so sorry for the lack of pictures. I was, and am still devastated. I have (had) a Canon 550D, and to cut the story short, I spilt water onto the screen, so now it is completely BLANK! I will be getting it repaired tomorrow, so fingers crossed it's fixable, otherwise new camera here I come (and poor a Hannah).

The first day was pretty chilled, we ate a yummy breakfast at 'Blue Fin', as you can see (I had to un-button my trousers after that mighty breakfast!) and then mooched around the shops. We also went to the 9/11 memorial, it was beautiful, a must see.



The second day was the same, minus the 9/11 memorial, we mooched and had to come back to the hotel several times for outfit changes, thankfully our hotel was on times square, so we didn't have far to walk. The outfit changes weren't because I was having a 'sex in the city', i'm fabulous moment, but the weather was so very temperamental, jackets were off and on like there was no tomorrow.


The third, and last day was the best, we had lunch at Saks, we visited Sak's restaurant last year and loved it so much, we came back this year. Me and my mum both had 'the amazing chopped salad' (it's called something like that anyway), and for a dessert I had 3 macaroons, 2 pistachio (as always) and one Champagne strawberry. These were the BEST macaroons I have ever tried, and I am a regular at Laduree. I then did a spot of shopping in Saks, where I got 2 amazing jackets and we then headed off to central park for a relaxing afternoon (it was 26 degrees at this point), of eating ice lollies and sitting on various benches.

Paloma faith was on my flight back, this was very exciting for me and my mum, although I didn't get a picture (boohoo, as my camera was broken). She was wearing a very wacky outfit, and she and her friends were extremely loud! I also sat in front of a 6ft5 man on the way back, so wasn't able to put my seat back the WHOLE way for 7 AND A BIT HOURS, my back was a little sore the next day (overnight flight). 

Now back to reality...minus my beautiful camera :(

Thanks for reading.

New York City - Suitcase


Afternoon...

New York is haistly looming(tomorrow to be specific), and today is all about organising and getting prepared! 
I don't know about you, but i'm a bit of a 'last minute' packer, even up until the last minute we need to be out the door, I will be throwing 'this' and 'that' into my suitcase, things I most definitely will not need, but in that moment, they are oh so 'essential'.

This time however, as I say every time I go away, it WILL be different!I am going to be super organised, and everything is going to be all sorted by tonight (...still trying to convince myself this is going to happen)...

So lets have a nosey into my suitcase, I know you want too!


Here we have them...I'm going for 5 days in total (including 
travelling)


I would describe this mixture of clothing as,simple/farmer/urban outfitter-ish style

*Pictures of myself in NYC coming soon*
(If I don't look too knackered that is)


                               

I think you will have noticed by now, I do like a little Mulberry in my life, who doesn't!


                                 


Here it is, my Barbour coat! 



If you know me, you will know that tweed and elbow patches are certainly my clothing weakness. So this blazer is just perfect for me, although a little itchy on the neck.






Now the time has come, that I actually need to pack my case...maybe in a minute?
