First off all I just want to say a massive THANK YOU for all the kind comments you guys left regarding my break up. It's really nice to know so many of you care and all your kind words really did make me smile. Everyday gets a little easier and with all the support out there I'm incredibly lucky. If any of you have or are going through the same thing and fancy a chat just send me an email.
So...
So...
Yesterday I travelled all the way to Liverpool to celebrate a fellow Hannah's birthday! Liverpool is pretty north for me and considering I've never been before and the fact I'm a true Southerner I found the city really enchanting and definitely want to visit again. The accent is amusing (I find this with all Northerners) but everyone was so friendly.
Train supplies - 2 back issues of Grazia, iPod, broken BlackBerry, tickets, Diet Coke, water and lens cap for my camera

Not the most attractive picture but the only one I have of our massive group
I'm wearing my H&M rust coloured jumper with elbow patches and my new rusty Topshop tunic complete with Peter Pan collar and spots. Some may think this is a rust overload but I really like these two pieces together. Rust is all around at the minute so I might as well embrace the trend head on whilst I can.
The evening was spent dining at Pizza Express and dancing to 'it's meant to be indie but it's really not' music at the O2 Academy. It was a fun night despite feeling like we were the oldest people in the club but the drinks were cheap (as you can tell from the picture below) and the music was fun.

We went to the Cavern Club for afternoon drinks. It's where the Beatles used to perform and as you can imagine the place is full off Beatles memorabilia. I wanted to do the Beatles Story but I ran out of time. I adore the Beatles so I'll definitely go back to Liverpool to do some actual touristy stuff.

I stupidly (and as always) didn't take a picture of my going out attire before heading to said 'out' so all I can show you is this terrible group shot. I'm wearing my favourite Topshop blue silk dress with a Tesco lace top and H&M tinsel skirt layered on top. I love this dress but find I wear it far too often on nights out so I'm trying to style it up a little different. I've got my new ish Topshop coat and H&M bow necklace on top too. If my handbag had been big enough I could have just whipped the top and skirt off halfway through the night for a new look!
On the return journey I rocked my new Topshop dress and hungover hair. I saw this dress ages ago and fell in love with the leopard print Peter Pan collar (obsession) and the floaty shape. However, my local store only ever had it in super tiny sizes. The other day I cam across this size 12 (not my usual size but still fits) and was delighted because I thought it had sold out long ago.

Dress from Topshop
So I had a great weekend; it's always love to catch up with old friends and see new places. Dom was there too and it was the first time I've seen him in the flesh since the break up but everything was fine. We had a hug and a chat without feeling awkward so we're both feeling slightly better about the whole situation. The girls were super nice about everything and I came home today full of cheer and knowing that everything will be OK!
Diet down the pan this weekend obviously x

Hey Han,
ReplyDeleteReally sorry to hear about you and Dom, I only just cottoned on to this..! I'm glad everything was OK in Liv, that you ended things as well as you possibly could. You know where I live if you fancy a weekend away from it all! Really wishing you both the very very best. Also, wish I had been able to make it this weekend! Looks like you had a wonderful time. Next time eh! And on a more shallow note, the thing about the diet - I really think you look a lot slimmer in these pics so a weekend off really won't hurt :) good luck keeping to it :)
Much love and German hugs,
Bethy xxx
Sorry to hear about your break-up, i know it sounds cliche but things do really get better in time. Love your Dress :).

One weekend off from the diet wont do you any harm! You need an off day sometimes!

I adore that Topshop dress, just like you my local Topshop seems to only have 6/8's in stock, slightly annoying as a size 14!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog x
Love the rust tops :)

Thanks for the reply, it's nice to know I'm not alone. I've started avoiding H & M as I just leave feeling like an over inflasted blimp. I may go try that dress on tomorrow, thanks for the heads up.

Aw, I'm glad you had a super time! I love Liverpool, it's so cultural! HA! :) It's so cute how you love Peter Pan collars, you wore it in 2 out of 3 outfits, that's an awesome score! :) I think it does suit you, you can see it especially in the last picture that's a close up on the collar! and you look like a natural with the camera in yer hand! :)
ReplyDeleteyour dress is too cute! i love peter pan collars too!

YES i saw this topshop dress and i was all for it but i then remembered i had another one like it which I haven't even worn yet! Now i just have to dig it out and rock it like you did. Peter Pans really suit you! Are you Tinkerbell? :)
ReplyDeleteLove the details of the Topshop dress!
ReplyDeleteHope you are okay about everything. Love the Topshop dress on you and the leopard peter pan collar, so nice! Also, I too find any accent other than my own amusing and I tend to imitate slightly to fit in....eeeek! Glad you had a fun time up north.
ReplyDeleteNice post.. thanks for sharing...

Great post, love all your outfits especially the leopard collar one. There is a fab bottle green peter pan collar dress in peacocks at the moment which would look great on you.
ReplyDeleteI want to go to Liverpool for my birthday, I've never been before. I love Manchester though and need to go there again. I had the best night out ever in some place we stumbled upon called 42nd street
