Hi all! How was your weekend? We had a three-day weekend (I call them Bank Holiday weekends as that's what they're called in the UK but no-one had a clue what I meant here! LOL).
The bf and I road-tripped it up to a place called New Plymouth. It took about 5-6 hours, including lunch stops. It was a beautiful, gorgeously scenic place but as we arrived quite late on Saturday afternoon (4.30pm) all of the shops were pretty much closed - it was raining so we couldn't go for a walk! So I ended up having a 2 hour 'nap' before waking at 7.30pm in a rush to get ready for some dinner and drinks. We found a fab bar / bistro and I had some lush cocktails, before the bf felt 'manflu' coming on so we went back to the hotel. He passed out on the bed and I sat reading for an hour with my night-light on. Rock AND roll!!
He managed to take one or two pics before passing out - I had to take the rest of them myself in the mirror! Ha!

I'd been reading a magazine in the hairdresser about sequins being back in fashion and it reminded me that I had this jacket hanging in my wardrobe so I busted it out. I had no idea what New Plymouth was going to be like, but I always prefer to be overdressed than underdressed!

As I mentioned, on Friday I went to have some subtle highlights added to the tips of my hair. Cue awkward mirror photos to show you these tips!

Yah! You went to my home province, but I'm actually from Stratford and not NP. I concur - always better to be over dressed than under dressed!

Aww, this sounds like a nice weekend and eventhough the shops were closed because it was late in the afternoon, it's sounds like you had a nice relaxing time with your bf and your outfit is So cute. I love the skirt over the black tights and black heels. It's so chic, your subtle highlights are perfect too, very subtle and pretty.
