A Trip to Torquay

A couple of weeks ago we made a little trip down to Torquay. James' work holds a 'dinner dance' every year which I posted about here in 2013. On the way down we visited The Fish Shed in Topsham for some top notch fish and chips. It was pretty good but I think it would have tasted that bit nicer had it been the middle of July and we could have sat out on the terrace.

When we arrived in Torquay my wishing for a sea view room had apparently worked and we had a balcony/terrace type thing so it seemed the right thing to do to take some outfit snaps. 

Well just look at that view!

The evening wasn't really anything to write home about unfortunately. I was still getting over a cold and really couldn't get in the drinking spirit, so after trying to find a decent light to take a picture of my new River Island dress we gave in and went to bed. We did, however, win a box of Green and Blacks chocolate in the raffle, so all was not lost.

Oh hello wind machine.

I'm not one for matching. I really hate earrings and necklace sets (FYI suitors, hah) but I discovered a certain amount of glee pulling this outfit together with numerous gold accents. I used to be such a silver girl but I really, really love gold hardware now.

I was on the hunt for an acid wash denim jacket, a nice oversized boyfriend one and I found this badboy in the men's section at Primark. My only issue with it at the moment is that it's quite stiff so I'm wondering about a home DIY to make it softer. Does that exist?

You may have spotted my new canvas backpack in an earlier post, I rescued it from Republic. I like how it looks quite a lot and when your bag is heavy it is quite nice not all being on one shoulder (despite the staged pose) however, I have found it's a right jeb when you're trying to find your purse etc at the till. Ah well, we all must make sacrifices for fashion.
