LFW SS15 DAY TWO - THE EVENT

I was quite looking forward to the Aspinal of London event at House of Fraser on Oxford Street because one of my favourite bloggers Ella Gregory was going to be there talking with Laura Jackson about style. I had seen the owl balloons and polar bear on Twitter too! 

I didn't know that we would recieve the most beautiful heart shaped key ring and I was honestly really surprised when I carefully slid it out of it's beautiful box and packaging. I then found out we could get them engraved so I got my initials on mine in gold, how pretty is it! 

I loved the Aspinal event and I also met up with Lucy from Foodie Force who reads my blog. We decided to go for lunch because I was starving, Lucy is a fellow foodie so we went to Paul. I had a tomoato and Mozarella (Yes I have mozzerella issues) sandwich on a gorgeous olive bread, yummies! Was a teeny bit tough though, got it stuck in my teeth (so attractive) haha. Washed down with delicious fresh lemonade perfect. 

Ooh dining Al Fresco in London in September! Who would have thought..

LFW SS15 DAY TWO - THE OUTFIT

So after my failed attempt at taking outfit pictures yesterday because my day was crazy! Today was a success! I didn't originally intend to wear my boots however after the silly decision of wearing pointed spikey stilettos yesterday I stayed away from shoes that would hurt and went with my faithful slouchy Zara boots which have been like clouds today so comfy!

I started off the morning (running late) for the Aspinal of London event in House of Fraser where Ella Gregory from Coco's Teaparty and Laura Jackson were doing a style chat. We were also given Aspinal goodie bags in which there was a gorgeous red heart keyring inside which you could get embroidered if you so wished but before I tell you the whole story, I will be posting that shortly after this one. 

I was really happy with my outfit today because it kept me cool and comfortable however I'm not used to wearing skirts at all, can't be dealing with pulling it down so I don't flash at the poor passers by! 

The lovely Lucy from bonjourluce.com took these snaps for me

FUSION FESTIVAL

So it is finally time to say goodbye to summer and I said farewell to mine with the first festival of the season for me. I didn't plan to go to any for the first year in a long while actually, not sure why I just didn't decide to go to one until Fusion Festival. 

I love singing along to Capital in the car in the morning when Dan and Katy are on, who I think are hilarious. When I knew Jessie J was going to be there I just had to go. Jessie J is amazing live, if you get the chance to see her do it! Her vocals are on another level. 

I really loved Fusion, it was chilled and laid back, family friendly, no drugs and no throwing of beer (ahem or not beer). This pleased me and we sat on the hill chilled out ate food drank water (I was driving) and listened to the music! What a way to spend the last day of summer, perfect! 

I hope you enjoyed seeing the snaps of my day, I will be editing my VLOG tonight too!

OH BILLS

I have wanted to visit Bill's for a long time now, ever since seeing the beautiful Instagram snaps of Carrie (WishWishWish) and Liv Purvis (What Olivia Did). The nearest Bill's restaurant to me is Leamington Spa which is a little drive down the motorway so not far however I only visit occasionally. Keep reading to see what I thought and I have split it into sections like a review, same as what I did in my Five Guys blog post which you can read HERE. 

FOOD - 5/5

I struggled to decide what I wanted to eat because there was so many things that I wanted on the menu. I nearly went for the chicken and chorizo burger however I was having chorizo for tea that night so I had the hamburger with monetary jack cheese. I switched up my skinny fries for sweet potato fries and the whole lot was delicious! I love having burgers with brioche buns well I just love a good burger really! 

DRINK - 5/5

The drinks list was really extensive and again really hard to choose as there was so many things that I wanted however I decided to go for something different and I have a pink lemonade with vanilla ice cream float. It came with a fresh half a strawberry and I loved it. Phil had a Samuel Adams

MENU - 4/5

The menu had so many delicious treats as I mentioned before that I didn't know what to order. We already decided when we were leaving that we are going back for Breakfast and I'm having poached egg and pancakes for dessert so look out for that blog post. There was so many yummy starters, mains and sides. I also really fancy trying out the Mac and Cheese, definitely not something I'd normally choose however it looked amazing!

PRICE - 4/5

I paid £9.50 for my burger, an extra £1.20 for cheese and 50p to switch to sweet potato fries. So £11.20 in total which for a burger and fries of that quality I am more than happy to pay that price. I've paid up to £20 for burgers in the past that weren't as good. My drink was £3.75 and considering it was a special drink I was happy to pay that. Dessert cost £5.50 which yes is a little more than I would probably like to pay however there was five fresh home-made mini donughts delicious velvety melted chocolate and fresh strawberries which was indeed delicious so the price was most certainly worth it. 

SEATS - 5/5

I loved the seating arrangement at Bill's they had created sectioned areas which made cosy intimate split up dining areas. It meant minimal pushing past chairs and splitting the room made a much better atmosphere. Some of the seats and benches were leather and the reset were made out of wood. I loved the tables and I was really happy sitting in Bills for my lunch. 

ATMOSPHERE/DECOR - 5/5

I really liked the decor at Bill's, it was rustic but homely and made you really comfortable and happy to be there. I love chalkboards and there was chilli peppers hanging from the ceilings and a diamond chandelier. I didn't get much of a view of the bar however there was more peppers and pretty light shades there too!

WI-FI - 5/5

I needed to connect to the Wi-Fi to upload my obligatory Instagram snaps. I tried on 4G however it failed so I asked the waitress for the Wi-Fi code, she wrote it out on a piece of paper for me and I was connected and content with fast Wi-Fi that pleased my Instagram needs.  

We walked off our food babies around the shops and I picked up a couple of things from Boots and then we went food shopping, so all in all it made for the perfect Saturday afternoon that I really enjoyed. 

I hope you enjoyed reading my review, let me know if you would love to see more!

SEASIDE

I hadn't been on one beach this summer so I was super excited to go to Weston Supermare on Saturday with my best girl friends. We had so much fun and I can't wait to tell you about it!

Well it all started with a three hour road trip, the girls picked me up at 8.30am (not a morning person) and we got onto the motorway armed with lots of snacks. So it took us three hours to get there because of traffic.

As soon as we got there we headed straight to the grand pier to play on the 2p machines. We found one that gave out tickets as well as the 2ps so we went to redeem them in the prize shop for sweets! We ate our fish and chips on the beach and then it decided to rain so we head towards the shops and afterwards we went on the spin ball wizzer type ride. Then we walked along the promenade chasing sharky as julie wanted a selfie with him then we kicked off our shoes and walked along the beach.

We were thirsty so we all had a slushy and bought a pink princess bucket and spade, built sandcastles, did cartwheels and ran around in the sea. We then picked up some lovely donughts for the journey home and luckily there was no traffic. We finished off the day with a TGI Fridays (Yummy steak).

I can't wait to go back to the beach next summer! I had so much fun
