Bonjour all! We've been rather rubbish with blogging in the last week and I'd say sorry. But I hate it when bloggers apologise for not posting. I'm sure your your week was just as fabulous without our girly ramblings! More to the point on Monday we headed off for a mini-getaway to Brighton. As Erika is staying in Sweden for the summer and Harriett is off to Canada soon, it was a last hoorah for all the three of us for a while.
It was of course only appropriate to reenact some fight from either 'Quadrofenia'/ 'Brighton Rock' for our mod loving fathers in front of the Grand.
Oh the drama!
A maple leaf we found.
Me and Erika were lucky enough to be tour guided around Brighton by Harriett, who grew up there. Here she is in front of the flat that she and her boyfriend Travis used to live. (Nwaawh cute)
Erika is my favourite Northern light!
We headed to 'Ken's' in the lanes, a greasy spoon that has various vegan options. Wahey! Me and Harriett enjoyed vegan breakfast rolls. Delicious.
Then came some serious shopping. Harriett made off with this 30's Chinese hat and some various bits and pieces.
I bought myself two pairs of perfectly fitting 1940's shoes. They're so gorgeous and I can't wait to show you all in outfit posts!
We then met our friend Joe from university who was in town visiting a friend. We played giant Jenga.....
Erika lost twice!
We then met up with Harriett's fab mum. Who is the reigning Queen of Brighton, sausage dogs and all things Cath Kidston.
We went to eat in 'Food for friends'. A fancy vegetarian resturant.
Erika's fried Risotto.
My mexican.
Vegan chocolate taurt.
Gooseberry cobbler with vegan raspberry ice cream.
We then went back to Harriett's folks place and hung out with the family's four sausage dogs!
Did someone go out in the rain? Silly Willow!
Hope you liked our postcard. Still to come is Berlin day 5 and 6 by Jess. I've also been scanning another vintage magazine of mine.
Love Aimee xx

The trip looks lovely, and you girls look fab! I'm actually thinking about moving to Brighton in a year or so (have to get into the school I want to go to first thouh)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your travel pictures, you all seem to have the most lovely adventures!! I adore both of your outfits, of course; Aimee's red coat is particularly delightful! I've only been to Brighton once, several summers ago; I think my greatest recollections of it were the beautiful Victorian aquarium and the burnt remains of the now-gone West Pier, so eerie!
ReplyDeleteI want to drop everything right now and go gallivanting around Brighton! Love that giant jenga!
