The Only Way Apparently Is Essex

Just a short post because I don't want to bore you wonderful people, but yesterday I got back from a lovely town called Witham in Essex! I really did feel like a tourist visiting my friend because shows such as 'The Only Way Is Essex' had convinced me that Essex was this far off mystical place full of overly tanned people all shouting 'Shut upp!!' but it's actually not like that at all. Instead it was beautiful and quaint and as a born and bred London girl I really did appreciate the beauty of nature and felt quite jealous (apart from when I nearly stepped in poo, that I did not appreciate).

Simply stunning

We also took an adventure to the country club (Yes I really do mean country club!). I had a lovely lunch at a place called Benton Hall (definitely check it out if you're ever in the area) and we enjoyed the food so much that we even went there the next day for lunch...I think that now makes me a regular at the country club, that's definitely something to put on my CV. We even had time to bake up a tasty batch of Pain Au Chocolat, so all in all it's been a great last few days; I've been a tourist, an affluent nature appreciator and even a baker! - ok so admittedly the Pain Au Chocolat did come already rolled and I just had to pop it in the oven for 12 minutes and I'm not an 'official' member of the country club but it still counts...right?!

My Favourite Skirt!

Mandala A Line Skirt Motel

Cropped Halterneck Top Missguided

Chelsea Boots Topshop

This is my absolute favourite skirt in the whole world! I adore the pattern, the style and just basically everything about it, it's from Motel (surprise surprise)  and they also have loads of other similar styles that I will be investing in (especially now that my student loan has dropped). My top is from Missguided which is also another one of my favourite shops and my boots are from Topshop. I am a massive fan of chunky shoes and have managed to even convert my mum (an avid stiletto fan). I'm forever trying to make people appreciate the things that I love in life (don't even get me started on my love for curry), it's a really bad habit but I would definitely recommend buying these boots; they're about 4 inches high but super comfy and easy to walk in meaning that I can walk around 'gracefully' whilst pretending that I'm in the Spice Girls (I love platform shoes).

I wore this this outfit to see DJ EZ and I've got to say he was amazingly fantastic, even though my memory is slightly impaired due to alcohol consumption on the night, from what I can remember he was unreal. Go and see him live, you will not be disappointed.

I love Motel

Halterneck Dress Motel

New Balance Trainers grey

I absolutely adore Motel, it's my biggest crush at the moment (sorry James Franco) and I'm forever stalking the website. I got this beautiful dress in the sale for £19 reduced from £38 and because I'm such a shopaholic I couldn't help myself but also buy it in the black, I'll upload a photo in the future but check it out here! I'm also addicted to trainers at the moment and so picked myself up a pair of these badboys, I feel slightly hipster when I'm wearing them but they are super comfy so that'll be my excuse ;)

I'm now home in London again, it's fantastic being back with my family albeit slightly overwhelming (my mums a headteacher so we'll leave it there) but I love them and it's great having a break from uni and alcohol! Also I have lots of free time, so expect to see a lot of updates :)
