Any chance I get to sneak in a date night with the Mr, I will. We'd planned to go to the cinema with his family that evening, so we popped out for some drinks and nibbles before. We went to the new Jamie's Italian in Tunbridge Wells, with the Brighton restaurant being my favourite place ever and this one being slightly different, I was eager to try it out.
Now I've got my beautiful Olympus Pen & a rather stunning 45mm lens, I'm excited to branch out into some more outfits posts. We were in a bit of a rush, but we snapped a few before we headed inside.
These new Snakeskin Grey Heeled Peep-toe Boots from Boohoo are my new favourites. After spotting them on the site months ago, but not purchasing due to the price, when I recently noticed they were only £15 in the sale, I couldn't really say no, right?
Paired With:
Black High-Waisted Skinny Jeans - Bershka
Khaki T Shirt (similar) - Missguided
Leather Jacket - All Saints
Tan Bag (similar) - Oasis
Necklace - Bought as a present
It was a rather thrown together outfit, but I was dying to wear the new shoes. Secretly I just wanted to be suuuper comfy in the cinema.
We had high hopes for Trattoria and it certainly lived up to expectations! We just went for drinks and a starter as we didn't have too long. Henry & I have our favourites, so we delighted to see them on the slightly smaller menu here. Henry went for a beer and as I have a Gold Card, I actually got two Peach Bellini's on the house! They were delicious and looked beautiful, as always. We also got two little tasters, arancini balls, delicious!
Henry opted for the Crispy Squid & Courgette with smashed garlic mayo, chopped chili, parsley & lemon. I had an Antipasti Board, very similar to the meat planks at Jamie's Italian. A selection of cured meats, marinated seasonal vegetables, mozzarella, pecorino cheese, olives and pickles. I love meals like that, it's like a mini picnic with all sorts of different flavours and textures.
I would definitely recommend Trattoria if you're in the Tunbridge Wells area looking for a nice place for a meal. It's so affordable and absolutely delicious!

Hello! I thought I'd throw together a little Spring Wishlist as I'd seen so many beautiful things! I always think Spring to Autumn seems like such a big jump wardrobe wise. The sun appears and I suddenly want to dowse myself in pastels and wear flowers in my hair!
(Click the shop link below to view the items)
1. Black Lace Blouse, Sheinside - I've seen any tops like this on the highstreet and with a price like that, it would be rude to say no!
2. Mandala Print Tank, ASOS - I'm obsessed with Mandala prints so this this slouchy tank top is perfect.
3. Beige Layered Dress, Fashion Union - With wedding season, holiday season and, lets face it, 'show a little bit of skin' season coming up, dresses like this one are perfect to dress up or dress down!
4. White Wide Leg Trousers,Missguided- I've got an hourglass figure, so I'm not 100% this style will suit me.. but if Kim K can get away with it... so can I, right?
5. Blue Knitted Jumper, Pretty Little Thing - I've got a thing for coloured jumpers paired with white jeans at the moment. This gorgeous baby blue number
6. Black T-Shirt Dress, ASOS - Perfect to sling on for comfort and then accessorise.
7. Lace Cold Shoulder Dress, ASOS - So dreamy. Festivals, beach days, pub gardens, sunny walks, anything.
8. Beige Wide Leg Trousers - Missguided - Again, another one I'm not entirely sure will suit me, but I'm dying to get my hands on a pair.
9. Blue & White Playsuit, Boohoo - I'm a complete sucker for a blue and white combo. I love the shape of this playsuit too.
10. Floral Print Oversized Shirt, Missguided - I've had my eye on this for a while, I think I might jus thave to give in to temptation.
11. Peach Jersey Top, Missguided - A pretty spring/summer basic to have lurking in the wardrobe.
12. Black & White Kimono, Boohoo - Kimonos are fab when it's warm, but a little too chilly for bare arms! Black and white keeps in simple, but it's made more interesting by a bold print!

There might just be an Spring Accessories Wishlist coming too... What have you got your eye on?
I'm having a major dress dilemma.
...and I'm being far more dramatic about it than I need to be, but it's my birthday so that's my excuse!
I'm turning 20 this month (eeeek!) and I want to find a dress to wear that evening for a night out of fun with friends.
These are a few of my favourites that I've spotted online and I'm off to Oxford Street next week on a hunt!
This was the dress I reaaally wanted to wear. Blue & Green Sequin Dress From Rare London. Ordered it, was too big, sent it back, smaller size out of stock, pre-order of 21 days... noooooo! I don't have that long so I've had to put my dreams of this dress on a shelf and hunt for another one.
I love this John Zack Plunge Neck Dress In Rose Jacquard! I wasn't too sure about the pattern at first, but it really grew on me. Only worry about this one is the deep plunging neckline. It's not always flattering on bigger boobs!
I've got a thing for sequins. I can't help it. I've tried to make it go away but I just can't. Something so satisfying about seeing hundreds of sequins together... just me? okay. I love this dress. Shiny Sequin Wrap Front Dress from BooHoo. The shoulder pads give a bit of an edge and the V-neck reveals a little cleavage, but not too much.
This was a favourite amongst my friends to wear on the night! Sequin Mini Party Dress in Black, I just want to stroke this dress, which is probably a little wired.. but it looks so smooth...! This one is an affordable, yet chic number from Fashion Union.
This little number is from Nasty Gal. Red Alert Metallic Shimmer Dress. I say little because there's not a lot of it really! I adore it but I think it's a bit too fleshy for me, also the plunge neckline/big boobs dilemma! It is so so gorgeous though, if only I had that confidence!
Theres a few more options on my 'haveyouseen' Birthday Dress Collection, click here to have a snoop!
I'm off to Oxford Street in a few days to do some more browsing!
One thing I have learnt from this is that I am SO indecisive!

-- 21st August 2013 - 1st September 2013 --
A week and half, I know, but I started on a Wednesday. I will continue as Monday to Sunday after this! This post was inspired by Cider With Rosie. Her blog is beautiful and I can't stop myself once I start reading, Go and have a look for yourself!
1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10 - My own photos. 3, 4 - from Tumblr, source unknown. Please let me know if you know. 6 - cardigansandcookies.tumblr.com. 7 - Ellie Goulding 'Burn' Artwork.
1. Coming home from an incredible month long road-trip around America. It was an unforgettable holiday with my family but I was so happy to get home to see my Mumma and big brother again!
2. After 34 days apart, I have finally been reunited with my boyfriend. I've never been so happy to see him!
3. Having to start thinking about autumn/winter clothing. I can't get enough of knitted jumpers, chunky scarves and warm hats so I can't wait to get layering again!
4. I've started buying things and making lists for things I need in my new bedroom in my student house! Now September is here, moving day is getting closer and closer... eek!

5. Having happy, healthy, holiday skin! There's nothing better than having a bit of colour on your face and therefore having to wear less makeup!
6. English Breakfast Tea. I have ALWAYS been a tea girl, but I can't stress how much I appreciate English tea after being in America. Ice Tea in the USA? Amazing. Hot Tea in the USA? Not so much.
7. Burn - Ellie Goulding. It's on repeat, such a great song.
8. Costa's signature smoked ham and free range egg farmhouse sandwich... mmm!
9. My new 'Gold threaded, Chunky Knitted, Zip Back Jumper' From Boohoo.

Always exciting to start the Autumn/Winter wardrobe.
10. Seeing 'This Is Us' One Direction's film... in 3D (just picture it... Harry Styles in 3D... yes it is THAT good!) in Leicester Square with two of my best friends after a great day in London. Also, the fact that I am still listening to 'Best Song Ever' at least five times a day & I still think it is, indeed, the best song ever and shall remain so for a long time.
This weekend I also saw Lucy Blackwell, Live, at Sun Scream Festival at Thorpe park. Nothing better than seeing one of your best friends doing something they absolutely love! A great day with lovely people and lots of ride inflicted eye watering! This day will also be the feature of my first ever vlog, so keep your eyes peeled for that! Check out her Lady In Waiting EP here! What did you get up too this weekend?
