Sparklers, Hearts and Friends...


Hello strangers!

It's been a bit longer than usual since my last post, so apologies for that, but I've just been mad busy!

I started my new job today, which went pretty well! It's more money and weekends off so I'll be able to get down to see that curly hair chap I'm rather fond of a bit more regularly! Yay!

This weekend just gone, I popped down for a little visit...


I'm wearing a Topshop polka-dot tutu skirt with heart print stockings and my favourite white brogues...


And my new blouse is from ASOS! I love how frilly and girly and Victorian-esque it is!


This photo was taken as a stream of people were walking behind Joshua as he took the photos.It's ever so embarrassing, as strangers clearly haven't a clue that, no...You're not cherishing your moment with the Shrubbery...You're merely another blogger!


Oh the embarrassment!

If you remember in a previous post I mentioned the new Brighton Wheel, right on the sea front. Well we finally went up it..Though by the time we did it was pretty dark!


You go around a few times, with a fantastic view of Brighton, and with lovely commentary from Steve Coogan, (who lives in nearby Hove) informing you of historical and cultural facts about Brighton!

Looking a little weather-beaten...


On the Saturday night, we (along with what seemed like the whole of Brighton!) celebrated the 5th of November, having an intimate little party at a friends house. They laid out a whole feast of tasty treats including homemade stuffing, mulled wine and toffee apples!
I took a disposable camera along too, so more photos to come another time!

We also played with sparklers in the garden!

This is my nearly complete star!


Emma's heart!


Trying to write 'Yours Truly'...A little ambitious perhaps!


Joe with his angel wings!


Then the next morning it was up bright and early to trundle off to the Frock Me! Vintage fair, held at the Brighton Corn Exchange.

There was also an old fashioned rally going on throughout Brighton, and we kept seeing these fantastic cars everywhere we walked!


I also spied this adorable dolls house in a shop window, displaying the new collection of jewellery..What a cute idea!


Inside the vintage fair I bought a few little bits and pieces, and also said hello to some of the exhibiters I knew...

This is Victoria on her stand 'The Wendy House'


And this adorable couple, are Alec and Margaux on their stall 'The Splendid Suitcase'
They also have a fantastic etsy shop should you fancy a peek!


They're also the subjects of my next blogger interview, so keep your eyes peeled for that too!

I hope you're having a lovely week!

Love Yours Truly, x

Ps. I won't leave it so long next time ;-)

  5. Every time I read your blog I want to live in Brighton more and more! I love your outfit too, especially those amazing tights (and I'm going through a rather Victorian phase at the moment, so I'm coveting that blouse too!).

  9. There are too many sweet things in this post I don't know where to start! I totally know what you mean about the embarrassing-strangers-walking-past situation, that happens to me ALL the time when we are taking blog photos. Sometimes I swear you can see me actually blushing in a few of the outtake pics, haha! The vintage fair looks so adorable, I would love to visit something like that. Your tulle skirt is also very lovely

  10. I really feel that I need to get my bum down to Brighton- your posts really make me want to visit. I hate when people walk past when we're taking photos! They probably don't even notice but I go all coy and have to stop

  11. Oooh, this makes me so sad I wasn't in the country for fireworks! Looks like you had a lovely time! I was wondering if you could say what type of camera you use? I'm not sure if it says so on your blog but your photos are lovely! xx

  28. What wicked, joyful photos. I agree with so many others that it's great to see a blogger not just looking trendy but looking full of laughter, and joie de vie.

  32. Your tights are so cute! And I LOVE The Splendid Suitcase. I don't remember how I know about them (it could have been from an old post of yours, if you've mentioned them before) but I had forgotten about them until now. I'm so glad you mentioned them!
    I love all the sparklers pictures, too! They're so fun.

Glad I found your wee blog! Enjoy your week! Zoë x

  36. This outfit would be perfect for Valentines Day no? Your posts always cheer me up, maybe because you're always smiling in the pictures and one can't help but smile too; it's contagious I tell you! But really, you're too damn adorable!

    P.S. Your curly haired man looks as though he could very well be related to Eric Clapton from his Cream days(it's the hair).
