60% Chance of Rain

I'm not going to try and photoshop my photos to look like it was amazingly sunny the entire time I was in Brighton as I like to keep this blog honest.. Being from Glasgow I've had my fair share of rainy weather but when I arrived in Brighton on Sunday morning it was worse than the usual Scottish drizzle. See picture below for my feelings on the situation:
Luckily, it soon brightened up and actually turned into a nice day! We spent a lot of time on the beach and the pier, and as much as I would love to take super serious blog photos, I couldn't help myself but be a tourist, so please excuse the photos with lobsters, cows, minions etc.

Diet Breaker!






Brighton is a great seaside town, and it's nice to take a break from the busy city of London. Thank you again to James for being a very professional blog photographer! 
I'll be posting about our adventure round London and I have a festival outfit blog post coming soon. I'm heading to SW4 this weekend, an electronic dance festival being held in the park at the end of my street!

A Beach in London

I'm not one to get home sick too often, but when one of my oldest friends Aimee came down for the weekend it really made me realise how nice it is to see a familiar face from home when you've been in London for 6 months!
Instead of doing the typical 'friend has come to visit' things like Leicester Square, the London Eye and super hipster Shoreditch, I decided to take Aimee to some more inspiring places! First stop was Camden Beach, a pop up that is literally a beach in the middle of the city! Although, you still can't escape the pigeons..

Once we'd enjoyed some time at the 'beach' we headed to Primrose Hill, and the walk from Chalk Farm station to Primrose Hill is one I would highly recommend, a combination of arty graffiti, pastel town houses and a huge selection of bistros, patisseries and cute coffee shops!











My growing love for Portuguese Custard Tarts continues! 
The hike up the hill is worth the view!
We also had a wander round Camden market, unfortunately we were both way too hungry to photograph the amazing street food we picked up at the canal side market, but here's a parrot we came across - you really never know what's coming next in London! 

With 2 weeks left in London I'm going to be squeezing as much into it as I can. Make sure to follow my Instagram @loooux to get daily updates on my London adventures!
