Wrong Weather

I wore this outfit the other day, thinking that it was going to be sunny. It was sunny, then the torrential rain started up again and I wore jeans. I should've perhaps sent the weather a 'F you' message and worn it anyway, but I'm too much of a wuss.

Sheer black blouse - Primark via Ebay - £2
Vest - H&M - £3.99
Denim Shorts - Primark - £1 
Plaited brown belt - Primark - £1
Heeled boots - Matalan - £4 (bought in a winter sale ages ago)

On a side note, although I don't live in the UK at the moment, but I'm obviously very saddened by the riots going on up and down the country. The people involved are angry, for good reason, but I will never understand how ruining the homes and small businesses of your neighbours will solve anything. Communities need to be strong when fighting poverty, mass unemployment and racism and this rioting just fragments them.

Ok, I'll get off my soap box now and watch some more news.

Birthday Fun

Because my boyfriend and I are on a super tight budget due to having one, quite measly income, I didn't want any fuss for my birthday this weekend. I kind of just wanted it to pass without notice. Not that I'm recommended lowing your expectations so that you're never disappointed, but I ended up having a lovely weekend. It started off with a trip out shopping and eating amazing Lebanese food

Halloumi, Schwarma, salad and hummus for €5.50. Amaze!

I went out with friends on Saturday night for drinks at a bar. The DJ played Fleetwood Mac so I was happy.

Sunday, my boyfriend prepared a deliciously sugary breakfast.

In the evening we went to try Korean BBQ.

Jacket - Primark £11
T-shirt - Topshop - gift
Jeggings - Primark £8

Marinated beef, chicken, pork, squid and prawns with sides of kimchi, marinated cucumber, white radish, fried potato in soy sauce and fried tofu.

Then we finished off with a walk in the sun and a Club Mate.

Perfect.
