Planning
a trip to any UK seaside is always done with trepidation. You can open your
curtains and see an absolute downpour or you could be real lucky and see
nothing but blue skies and bright sunshine. The day we went to Brighton was
beautiful and although it was way too hot for my liking, being by the sea meant
that I was able to enjoy the breeze for the majority of the day.
I
never tire of this view
The
first thing we did was eat (obvs), so we headed to one of my favourite places,
Ed's Diner for burger and milkshake funtimes.
Brighton
has always been my escape place whenever life in this crazy city gets too much,
but it's funny, I have rarely explored, and instead often chose to sit on the
pebbles, watch the sea and do a lot of writing; but on this occasion we walked
pretty much everywhere. We weaved between all the little side roads and
discovered so many cute little treasures along the way. The little hidden
markets are full of weird but wonderful things, there are old fashioned sweet
shops and souvenir stands that kept me fully entertained throughout the day.
The old book shops made my heart sing as did the array of oh so pricey vintage
shops. We also headed to the big wheel and I managed to capture some pretty
views:

When
I think about it I honestly can't remember a time I've been to Brighton and not
worn polka dots, and this day was no exception. I wanted a quite traditional
British colour scheme so wore my gorgeous navy polka dot, Vivien of
Holloway dress. It's dressy but because they're well made they are super comfy
for a day of adventure, and the material isn't too heavy-set so I was able to
take full advantage of the blissful sea breeze.

It
was a lovely day and we had a blast. The only downside was that I completely
forgot to grab a bag of my favourite warm, sugared doughnuts, but we were too
tuckered out to walk back.
Brighton,
I love you!
'til
next time.
Love
and hugs,
