When I was 19, I left sleepy Eastbourne to live in exciting Leeds to become an art student. I think it's fair to say that I couldn't wait to leave. I hated the place. Despite being so close to London and Brighton, it was nothing like them. I did everything I could to visit both places whenever possible, for gigs, shopping, galleries, anything!
I went back a couple of weekends ago and realised how bittersweet it's now become. I love going home to visit my friends and family and I'm now really sad to leave whenever I have to head back t'up north. Leeds is not Eastbourne beach.

So while home, I visited friends, hung out with my family and spent a day in Brighton where I could (want) definitely move to.

I also managed to fit in some (a lot) of shopping.

Denim smock dress - Topshop

(Apologises for the creases. I didn't have time to iron it BUT I did get mu SLR out to photograph it which means no more iPhone photographs on here!)

Shoes - Topshop

(Fell in love with these instantly. Slightly dirty as I wore them to a wedding this weekend, got drunk and definitely fell over. In front on everyone. At least I did it in good shoes.)

Ring and bracelet - Brighton Lanes

Holographic platform trainers - Schuh

(Like a lot of people into fashion, I've been obsessing over anything holographic since I saw THAT Proenza Schouler bag).

So a brilliant time had by all. I love you South Coast.
