Pay day, treat day.

When I say pay day is treat day, what I actually mean is treat weekend!

I am SO naughty. Yet another over indulgent weekend, too much gorging and too much shopping makes for a poor, circular but happy Jen!

I hit up Riverside restaurant with my BFF for a lovely tapas lunch before having a driving lesson (this is a secret, but my driving test is VERY soon, eek!) I usually dread the lessons but surprisingly this one was a good start to the weekend.
Quickly followed by that was hitting up the shopping centre and local vintage fair, these are my finds …

A funny old week makes for a FUNNY weekend

Oh Lordy, what a lovely weekend it has been! It was a bit of a weird week, so in a bid to cheer myself up and have a little pamper, I bathed for the first time IN A YEAR! (I sometimes find time to shower in between this yearly event)

I always try to make the most of my weekend, and this was one was no exception! One of my BFF’s came home from University so a good catch up over coffee and HUGE custard creams (kudos, Costa) was in order followed by cocktails in a can, classy – I know!

I also picked up my new prescribed sunnies, I know most people relate these lenses to middle aged men (ha!) but they are a must have when driving into the low sun! Plus at by one get one free I couldn’t really say no! What do you think? The Specsavers lady compared them to Audrey Hepburn sunnies – Im a sucker for salesperson lie.

That’s been my week in photos, Im drawing a line under today despite it being just mid afternoon, I’ve figured if I’m still in my pj’s at this time – Im not gona be shifting anytime soon!

Have a good week! x

The return of the fringe

After much debate with myself and turning to friends to see what they think – I bit the bullet and returned to the fringed life, and I’m enjoying it thoroughly!

I’ve always, always been keen to pull off the parted fringe like Alexa Chung but my moon face just wouldn’t allow it, and no form of fringe is unheard of, so here I am looking like a 12 year old boy with a bowl cut/Alan Carr.

The fringe isn’t just a hair style, it’s the official marking of autumn in my books. If I was a man, I’d have a beard in autumn/winter and shaved in summer. But I’m not so a warm forehead will simply have to do!

Have a lovely Sunday!

Our Little Trip to The Dam

THE day finally came, pay day! That one day of the month we work so hard for in weeks previous, only to spend it all in a quarter of the time earned.

This payday, the first thing I bought was a fly by trip to Amsterdam with my BFF. For £56 per person, we got an over night ferry from Hull to Amsterdam with connecting coach, and 7 hours in the beautiful city that is The Dam!

We walked, shopped, site spotted (sex shop stalking) and ate – it was wonderful, weird, cheap and cultural – everything I look for in a place to visit!

My favourite part of the day was the Sex Museum, but I highly recommend the Amsterdam Dungeons!

As our trip was so short, we missed so many great sites Amsterdam has to offer! I plan on visiting again, so if you have any recommendation – let me know!

Happy midweek eve x
