Flower Power-Southend

Yesterday I somehow found myself on the way to Southend in the early hours, this I was confused and excited about. I'm always so envious when I hear about people's weekend trips to the seaside because I'm always working! I was delighted when it was a fairly short journey as I actually confused it with Hastings, in case you didn't know I think there's about 200 miles between the two but what do I know? Anywhere we got there about 11:30 and being a little too early for lunch a trip to the local shopping centre and high street was on the cards. I was hoping to find some amazing clothes that have already sold out In the London stores, however this was not the outcome.

There was the cutest sweetshop with more than enough tempting treats to make any girl cheat her diet!

There's also a large amount of bakery's and coffee shops on the high street, which are perfect for a quick snack if you're in the area.

Some of you might remember the legendary "Adventure Island" which is located directly next to the beach, as a child most sunny days were spent at this park and I was still impressed with the rides that they have! With rollercoasters, bumper cars, water rides and more delicious food stalls than you can count it really did make for a lovely day. Although as you can tell from the photos the weather was less than on our side, typical as ever though as soon as we left the sun miraculously made an appearance! 

I only managed to get a few photos of my outfit as I was so caught up In my surroundings, these floral trousers make me feel so feminine every time I wear them but not so much that I don't feel like me because the main colour of them is black! They're from River Island a while back a and were around £30, however being my clumsy self I actually ripped them all down the side and i was lucky enough to have a nan that was able to temporarily repair them. So I don't think I'll be able to wear them for much longer, with cotton trousers I can just recommend being extra careful. I paired it with my favourite denim jacket(well my dads) and the La Moda shoes that I haven't been able to take off. I don't mean they're stuck btw they just seen to go with every outfit! Happy Wednesday.x
