Barcelona!

I have just come back from Barcelona where I went for a friends 21st birthday. It was amazing. It is such a beautiful city and the heat was very welcome. Not only is the day time full of things to do but the night life is also buzzing. Lots of fabulous clubs and restaurants to choose from. The city sure knows how to cater and makes sure the tourists are never bored.

Sun, Marshmallows and Songs

The last few weeks have surprisingly been rather busy ones. Although still jobless, I have been busying myself in order to avoid going mad.

After my previous post in which I ranted about the miserable weather, it seems as though the weather gods have been kind and graced us with some lovely summer sun rays.

So what have I been doing apart from painting my nails and enjoying a cheeky cocktail here and there.. 

Well, I have been renewing my love for campfires and toasting marshmallows by the looks of things. As the warm weather has meant I am more inclined to stay outside later my dad has kindly been making fires to keep warm outside. To my delight I went into the back room and found some marshmallows! I don't know about you, but many people find it weird that I like to completely burn my marshmallows before eating them. Although it is not completely visible in the picture, the marshmallows are still on fire when I take them out the flame and only when they start to fall off the stick do I blow it out.

I do realise I look somewhat hippy-esque in these photos, the reason being was that I had been shopping that day for Hawaiian fancy dress. I bought these flower headband for the outfit but just decided to wear it for the evening as you do. The party was good fun, here is what I wore (and my boyfriend's outfit too).

In the taxi on the way to the party the taxi man asked if we had been to Hawaii, I told him we had and we loved it so much we couldn't bare to take the clothes off! Bizarrely, he believed me.

Anyway, I am glad to finally have some sun again and these warm months always go hand in hand with some good summer tunes. A couple of songs I am listening to at the moment are:

Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks

Alexandra Stan - Mr Saxobeat 

Nicki Minaj - Superbass

Maroon 5 - Runaway

and one of my old favourites I rediscovered...

Cold War Kids - Hang Me Up To Dry

Summer Vibes

I have been busy busy busy with the move back to Sussex from London which has resulted in a lack of posting. The garden back home at the moment is beautiful and I couldn't resist capturing the colours and the summer vibes they are giving off!

Fire and Rainbows

 Over the past few weeks the weather has been bright sunshine making way for many barbeques and sun lounging. It seems though that clouds and rain have been creeping back into our sky, however everyone knows that sun + a bit of rain = rainbow. The other day there was a big beautiful rainbow all the way across the sky.... sadly no double rainbow for us to rejoice over but it was pretty spectacular.

Sunshine Sunday

After days of watching people enjoy the sun I finally indulged in a little sun soaking and cocktail drinking myself! Yesterday was so hot and sunbathing was just unavoidable, so I put on my polka dot bikini and sat outside drinking cosmopolitans with my family, who all drank margaritas, and enjoyed the hot weather.

Sunshine through my window

 Dissertation and essay writing means days of sitting inside bound to my computer whilst watching the sun shine brightly outside and people walk around in shorts. I couldn't resist taking a few photos to capture this beautiful English weather!!

Sunset

Sitting here trying to write a 10, 000 word dissertation is proving difficult and my mind is easily wandering.

I just looked out my window to see this beautiful sunset and thought I would share it with everyone.
