STYLE: THE SMILER

T-shirt - Vintage

Cardigan - Primark

Long necklace - Asos

Sandals - New Look

Ric and I made a last minute decision to drive down to Alton Towers on Friday as it was nice and sunny. I've never been before so Ric, being the absolute gentleman that he is, decided to "ease me into things" with a ride on Nemesis and Air.... what a bastard. I've never been on a proper rollercoaster before and so I was dying afterwards!  

We had to go on a few of the slower rides after that until I no longer felt like everything was spinning - Nemesis Sub-Terra, Duel, and The Log Flume were all awesome - although who are those sadistic people that shoot you in the face with water guns? Who?? - before finishing the day off with a ride on The Smiler, which just about killed me. It was totally worth it though and if you haven't been on it yet, it's almost worth going to Alton Towers just for that! 

STYLE: BACON TASTY'S

Jumper - H&M

Playsuit - Primark

Jacket - Warehouse

Purse - Asos

Last week and all of this weekend have been spent in total birthday celebration mode. It began with Ric taking me out for a surprise birthday meal on the Wednesday night - what a cutie! - and ended with a monster hangover which lasted all of Sunday. But it was worth it.

In between, me and Ric ran the 10km Edinburgh Marathon race, which we completed in 56 minutes - my target was an hour so I'm super happy! - had a couple of trips to the cinema (Godzilla and X-Men are both awesome btw), and hung out with friends. All in all, an awesome birthday.

I got some fab pressies as well so look out for a birthday haul post coming your way soon!

STYLE: WHITE NOISE

White Noise Dress - Yayer

Leather Jacket - Warehouse

Boots - Romwe

Shorts (underneath) - Thrifted

Choker Necklace - Violet Mists

I lasted a whole 10 minutes between viewing Yayer's latest wardrobe offerings and ordering a tonne of them. I'm weak, I know, but this dress ticks so many of my 'I want this right now' boxes at the moment. It's sheer (tick), it's white (tick), it has an in-built crop-top (tick) and a subtly seductive slit on either side (tick) and, to top it off, it sometimes catches in the wind and flows out behind me like a cape so that i feel like a superhero (tick tick). 

Ric thinks it looks like an apron. But Ric is a fool! I love it :)
