I wanted to share some photos from my perfect Sunday. Henry & I woke up, headed for brunch with friends, then took the bright sunshine and warm spring air as an opportunity to spend the rest of the day outside. I like to think Sunday's are for long walks, lots of food, time with friend and relaxing, but in the city - sometimes I find that hard. I just associate Sundays with the countryside and being at home, cities are so non-stop that sometimes there's no 'sunday' feeling, just the horrible one you get before bed.
But, yesterday was different.
We walked all the way along the seafront, stopping in little shops and museums we'd previously taken for granted and never acknowledged. We sauntered through the laines snooping in every junk shop, antique shop and homeware store we could find. We sipped delicious coffees from The Flour Pot bakery (I need to go back there and try every cake). We sat on the warm stones, filtering through for little bright pieces of sea glass. I used to search for it with my Granny on every seaside holiday when I was little, I had a hawk eye for it and it turns out I still do! We walked home just feeling so happy, content and relaxed.
More Sundays like this one, please.

If you see me around anytime soon, the chances are I'll be wearing this suede skirt or stripey shirt... or most likely, both. The top is the perfect 'everyday' top, it's super comfortable and just the right length to hang nicely over jeans or tuck into a pretty skirt. Enter this Suede beauty. I fell in love with this skirt so much that I went back to buy it in black too. Both the top & skirt are from Primark, so they're also incredibly affordable, together they're under £15! I've paired them with my oversized scarf from Accessorize and Chelsea boots from ASOS.

As well as this being an outfit post, I just wanted to talk about the place I took these photos, on the beach, my happy place. One of my favourite things to do is take myself off to the beach to clear my head. I love to go alone so I can just focus on my own thoughts and shut the world out a little. Sometimes I take my camera, but I stay off my phone and social media whilst I'm there, as I do find it difficult to switch off from it sometimes. It's the perfect time to zone out from that internet bubble.
Where is your happy place?
Whilst I'm home over Summer, I miss Brighton like nobody's business. It is my home from home and I feel so calm and happy when I'm back by the seaside. Henry & I popped down there last week for an afternoon by the sea, in the sunshine.
I saw the sunny day as a great opportunity to wear my new Denim Dungarees from Primark & Striped Crop Top from Miss Selfridge. I am obsessed with this combo at the moment, so summery, comfy & practical. And they were only £10! I knew I had to snap them up instantly!
The neckline of the top is super flattering, showing a little bit more shoulder and collarbone than a standard shaped neckline. I love pairing it with High Waisted Black Skinny Jeans too, it shows a little bit of midriff but nothing too revealing.
The Dungarees are super comfortable and make any outfit look effortlessly cool. I wouldn't recommend them if you're going to be doing a lot of walking as I find I end up pulling them down a lot, but for a chilled out day - they're perfect!

I snapped a few shots of Henry in practise for some band shots I'm taking for him in a few weeks. He's looking rather handsome, if I do say so myself.

Feeling famished, we headed to The Breakfast Club in Brighton, to try it out for the first time! I was delighted when I heard The Breakfast Club was coming to Brighton as I've always wanted to try it out. I'll have a full post coming up soon hopefully, you can see their website here. Henry took a few more outfit photos for me and we headed inside.
I went for an Iced Tea with lemon and mint, Henry went for a beer and we both had the Pulled Pork Sandwich. Oh my gosh, It was too die for. Slow roasted BBQ pork, oozing red leicester cheese, on a sweet toasted bun with gherkins and pickled red cabbage (which was possibly my favourite addition) with a small side salad and pot of crispy skin on fries.
Feeling stuffed and very content we wandered through the streets for a bit then headed home. Already excited for my next trip back to Brighton...
