Easter days...

Top- Zara

Jacket-Topman 

Scarf- H&M

Jeans- Topshop Leigh

AS its Easter today has been filled with seeing the family and a good old catch up. Unfortunately this involved lots and lots of Vino, so I am no blogging in quite a tipsy state. I am therefore sorry if anything appears misleading/wrong. After a week of work I was thankful today that I got to dress more casual and relaxed. For this I decided to pull out my comfortable jeans in a size too big and a baggy T-shirt. The jeans are Topshop Leigh I have numerous pairs of them but these ones are pre weight loss and therefor just a little big. They are however elasticated meaning a great and comfortable fit. Literally think I could do Pilates in the things, maybe one day I shall give it a go. The top just a baggy t-shirt, I'm not normally a t-shirt type of person but I loved the print on this one its a Ferris wheel from Coney Island therefore reminds me of my time in New York. So today I channeled the style of a plain Jane but every once in a while we all need a day off.  The only item of my clothing that is indeed worth blogging about is my scarf. fluorescent pink with a kind of plastic coating. To many it looks like it has come straight from the runway when infact I recently picked it up in H&M sale for £2. Without a doubt the bargain of my week.

Once I was dressed my parents came over and we went out to the Mud Crab Cafe in Didsbury. Its a kind of Australian/American diner. I know a bit odd. It has an amazing menu and is so quirky, I love it. Today I decided to go for Steak, diet. It was medium rare so for me a little overcooked but none the less beautiful. The cafe has a great atmosphere and has quickly became popular among the suburban residents of Manchester. Indeed it earns its popularity without a doubt. I also got to see my family although they slightly remind me of the carpenters I love them none the less. I also had slightly too much wine. Whats a girl to do when its free? 

Momma Visit's

Dress- Topshop Boutique

Jacket-River Island

Boots-Topshop Ambush

So today was a chilled out Sunday. After my last week of uni before my revision leave I wanted to chill out this weekend rather than party. Especially because I got a little too drunk last week, but that's a long story. Therefore after having a movie night with my housemate, Hannah, where she managed to consume a whole bottle of wine. My Momma came to visit. Usually she doesn't like shopping. So I was a little surprised when she suggested that we go. I was even more surprised when she bought me a beautiful new Blazer from Zara. I even managed to get her into Selfridge's where she vowed to buy a dress for my cousins wedding.

After shopping till we dropped. We went to the Northern Quarter for some lunch. Being very familiar with the area, as it is our usual Saturday night out. I decided that we should go to 'The Blue Pig'. Its a deli style bar, the perfect mixture of cocktails and yummy food. The best thing on the menu are the Platters, only exceeding expectations by the fact you can design your own. I did the choosing whilst sipping my Stormy cocktail, and I have to say some of the best food I have ever had. My favorite item being the African ginger bread, it was so yummy. However we were a bit naughty after and had some Churros with chocolate dip, but a desert shared is calories halved. Coupled with the quirky atmosphere which kind of reminds me of some of the Parisian bars I've been to. I defiantly would recommend it. 

On a final note, it was so lovely to see my momma. We had such a nice chat and a good day together. I feel since I have got older and grown up we get along loads better. I feel like I can talk about most things with her, some still has to be kept secret though. I feel like I have grown up so much recently and appreciate that mother daughter bond so much more. So glad I'm lucky enough to have my momma there for me every second of my life.
