"By The Sea, Wouldn't That Be Smashing"

Brighton Beach

Brighton Pier

 Last week I went on a day trip to the seaside town Brighton for my sisters birthday and for the first time and really enjoyed It. There was so much to do and with limited time we had a lot to jam pack In to one day and we managed to do It. Firstly we took a walk along the pier to see the popular attractions and arcades, The pier had two fairly big arcades on It filled with your favourite arcades games like the classic 2p machines and who can forget struggle we all go through to win a toy from the claw machine. If you are a person who loves rides then you will enjoy the attractions the pier has to offer as It has rides to cater to everyone from merry go rounds to roller coasters for all those thrill seekers out there, If you are planning to go on multiple rides then I strongly recommend getting the £20 wrist band which will get you on all the rides as many times  as you want.

 After exploring the pier we went and sat on the beach and with It being a stone beach It wasn't the most comfortable place but It was still nice with the waves splashing against the shore and the smell of seaweed and fish In the air It Is just what you want to see and hear when you go to the seaside.




                                               

The Laines

ChoccyWockyDooDah

 After spending sometime on the beach we decided to get some lunch at Ed's Diner which Is great If you love that 50's American diner feel and this followed with some exploring of what shops Brighton had to offer and we happy find lots good shops like TopShop, H&M at Churchill's Square and many more. We also discovered the Laines which are filled with lots Independent cake shops, Antique shops and the Famous ChoccyWoccyDooDah shop which was filled with many people waiting to go In their cafe and to purchase unique chocolate treats, I recommend you visit you will want to eat It all. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the North Laine which Is filled with Vintage shops and Independent Business's selling art, photos and more I will definitely be blogging about It on my next visit. 


 We left to come back to London at 5pm to come home and after a 2 and a half hour coach journey to Victoria we had to endure  another two journey that would usually take half an hour due to the Tube strike but despite that It was a lovely day and I can't to return.

When A British Girl Discovers Hot Topic.

During my trip to California I discovered Hot Topic which Is an alternative clothes shop and unfortunately we do not get It here In the UK unless we pay silly amounts for shipping. As soon as I stepped In I got really carried away because of just how much Disney stuff they had along with a few other things and the prices were really good also. When I got home I decided I would style all the pieces that I purchased.

1. Crazy Cat Lady

 Here I am wearing a "You've Cat To Be Kitten Me Right Meow" t-shirt from Hot Topic and I have styled It with a floral daisy skirt from Urban Outfitters and a pair of adorable cat Vans from the Vans store In downtown Santa Monica, but fear not British readers you can get these shoes here In the UK In the shoe shop Schuh for about 40-50 pounds.

                     

"Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty Little Ball Of Fur" 

   
                              
  Here I am wearing a vintage style cat t-shirt that says "i will end u." from Hot Topic and I styled it with a pair of black high waisted shorts from Primark which compliments the t-shirt as It Is quite long. I then added a vintage long denim shirt from the East End Thrift Store and a pair of adorable cat suspender tights which I found on Amazon and completed the outfit with a pair of Dr Martens.

This was one of my favourite finds In Hot Topic because you see It In the shop and think Its a cute cat top and you pick It up and see the slogan at the bottom It had me laughing so I had to get It.


                   

2. "It's A Pity And A Sin She Doesn't Quite Fit In"

 Here I am wearing a Belle from Walt Disney's Beauty And The Beast crop top and a pair of plimsoll style shoes with a stain glass movie design from the same film, both of these are from Hot Topic. I styled them with a pair of vintage mom jeans from RokIt and a pink over sized shirt from the East End Store. I completed this look by keeping with the Beauty And The Beast theme by adding a necklace that I created with Mrs Potts's on it.

There Maybe Something There That Wasn't There Before."

"When Will My Life Begin"

If you are a lover of alternative fashion and Disney then you will love Hot Topic and I for one fell In love with this store whilst I was In Hollywood, all we can do Is hope that Hot Topic comes to the UK.
