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.

Neon & Monochrome

Monochrome is absolutely everywhere this season. I was aware that is was set to be big but the high street shops have been all over it like a rash. I do enjoy the simplicity and statement of just black and white but so far haven't quite gone all out for it. Instead I've injected some of my much needed colour in the form of a neon orange top and (not neon) green Cambridge Satchel looklike.

Coats are still very much in need at the moment too and I went with grey because I didn't think there was any need for more clashing, after all, with the Aztec cardigan and studded boots, there was quite a lot going on.
