Shopping in Brighton

So today I went to Brighton so that me & my family plus our family friends could go shopping. Tbh I really needed to buy clothes as I didn't get any for Christmas because I'm so fussy that whatever my Mum brought me I'd be likely to take back!

On the drive there we listened to Four by One Direction- I love that album :)

When we got to Brighton we headed straight for the shops- we didn't really have a chance to goto the beach & take photos so I had to take one out the window of the car.

    

    The Old Pier

We looked around a few shops but there was nothing there which I really liked so after an hour or two we headed into the lanes & went to Donatello for lunch. Donatello is an Italian restaurant which my Mum has been to twice before & loved it- so she recommended that we go there again!

The food was delicious- I couldn't actually finish the pizza as the portion was so big, but I didn't want to waste any so I brought it home to eat later. I had the four cheese pizza and it was so good!

The restaurant is on three levels and the atmosphere in there is so nice- I would definitely go there again!

After lunch we hit the shops ago, this time to New Look & then Primark. I really wanted some new black leggings as most of my pairs have holes in and I only have one nice pair. Leggings are basically the only thing which I wear so they're pretty essential! However New Look didn't seem to have any so I came away with none :(

I'd planned to save up my money so wasn't expecting to buy anything in Primark, but there was a sale on and I saw a really nice top that was only £2! And I've been wanting short tops like this for ages so I was very happy!

I also picked up two more tops like this which were £5 and £6- which is still so cheap :) 

I was in need of some basic black strappy tops so I also brought 2 of those. All together all these things were so cheap- I LOVE Primark!!

It was about 4pm by this time & unfortunately we had to leave :( 

I managed to take some more pictures out of the car window again though-

   Brighton Pavilion

Brighton promenade (I especially love     this picture!) 

It was a good day shopping, I absolutely love Brighton and want to live there one day. I'd definitely recommend going- it has something for everyone!

Anyway that's it for this post, hope you enjoyed,

See you soon! :) 

What I Got For Christmas 2014 :)

I hope everyone had a brilliant Christmas!!

I wanted to blog about what I got for Christmas this year, mainly so I can look back on it & remember, but also I want to start using this blog lots. As usual, I'm not trying to brag or show off about what I got, I just find it interesting to see so I thought I'd post mine :) 

My main present this year was a camera. I've wanted one for so long- ever since my last one broke (so about 3 years!!) but I never got around to asking for one. But this year I finally did!!

A camera is especially useful for me because my iPhone has barely any storage so I'm always having to delete my photos :( and recently my laptop and the family laptop have broken so there's been nowhere to store pictures, but now with a camera that problem is solved!! 

One of my favourite presents I got was a whole lot of bath products- I got so many this year. Previously I haven't really used them and they've just sat on my shelf because I forgot I had them and I'd just use the ones in the bathroom, but this year I'm gonna try especially hard to make sure I use mine, which shouldn't be hard because they smell so nice!! 

(These are either from New Look (picture 2), The Body Shop (picture 3), Jack Wills-  these are from the Jack Wills section of Boots (picture 4) and Boots (picture 5) )

Now I really enjoy watching YouTube and had asked for Zoe Sugg (Zoella)'s book- Girl Online, and her body mist 'Blissful Mistful' (from her beauty range) for Christmas. But I also got the turquoise make-up bag and the 'Soak Opera' bath soak as well :) 

I've already finished reading Girl Online- it was so good that I finished it in 4 days!! (I'm not gonna post too much about it as I may do a separate post talking about it & her beauty products which I have :) )

I would definitely recommend it though!!

I also love the body mist & the bath soak- they smell so nice and fruity!! 

The next thing I'm going to post about is my Converse. I absolutely love these, they basically sum up my style because I love anything glittery!! 

I asked for Four- One Direction and The Fault in Our Stars as I love both of these so I wanted a physical copy of them both :) 

The last thing I'm going to post about it my bracelets. These are so pretty, I love them!! I'm a bit scared to wear them incase I break them though- guess I'll just have to be extra careful!!

They were from brands which I'd never heard of- the black one is from Fiorelli and the silver one from Mikey. 

I also got tickets to go and see the X-Factor Tour and tickets to Harry Potter World, I'm so excited I can't wait!! :D

I'm gonna say this again, I'm not bragging or trying to show off, I'm just so grateful and happy with everything that I've got, and I'm so thankful that my family have brought me some beautiful gifts.

I hope you got everything you wanted this Christmas :) xx 

See you soon!! :)
