Kitty's Sunny Weekend + GLASS IN MA HAND

Hello my lovelies!! I am blogging today about my weekend! I thought, since I try and fill my days up, that maybe they are worth blogging about these days!

SATURDAY




On Saturday, I had arranged to have lunch with my friend down Commercial Road, Portsmouth. Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures apart from my out fit haha! We had a look round the shops, she bought a dress, I bought a ring, and we sat and had lunch in Tesco's Cafe, which was nommy! Their cake was nice! In the evening me and another friend went to a LUSH VIP party, which was lovely! I love LUSH and the smell of their shop! It may be a tad expensive, but I think its worth it! Plus, some of their stuff is under £5!!
Unfortunately I had a little accident in the shop. I had a wine glass in one hand (from the complimentary drinks) and had some heels on. My heel caught a wet patch and WHOOSH, over I went, glass smashed, alcohol straight in my face! My eyes stung, that was the first thing I felt! Once I had been helped to a seat, my knee started hurting and I now have a lovely bruise! I was asked if I was cut any where, and at first I was like, I don't think so....then I check my right hand!
Looks worse than it is, they were only small cuts on my hand where the glass had cut it! There was a little bit of glass in there, which the first aider managed to remove and then put some plasters on!
The top one was the worse one, as it looked like the glass had sliced into my hand at an angle! None of them needed stitches, so all was well! And for falling over, the staff gave me (and my friend) some freebies! I felt a bit guilty, so I was very thankful for the free box and the couple of extra goodies I got!
I got a free cotton bag and everything! My dad said, next time, break an arm and see what you get! Thanks dad >_>

SUNDAY


On Sunday I started off the day with a lovely long LUSH bath and came out smelling LOVELY!! My dads living smelt of LUSH all weekend because that's where all my products were! Now my room smells like it ahaha! Anyways, after that lovely bath, I got ready and met up with a friend in Gunwharf. We then proceeded to spend the next hour walking along the sea front to South Parade Pier!! It was sooo warm, but there was a lovely breeze coming off the sea, so it wasn't too melting. The only problem was the fact it was so crowded! Sunny Sunday in Portsmouth? Lets all go down the seafront! I swear, the entire population of Portsmouth was down there! It is a lovely scenic route though, with an old battlement, a fun fair and various other attractions.
Right near South Parade Pier, me and my friend found this lovely little garden, almost like a secret garden, and sat down to appreciate the scenery and eat some lunch!
This was what drew me in at first. I was like, 'Oohhh whats that? Looks like a fountain!' We followed the circular pathway round the fountain and pond, to find a mini waterfall and some steps leading down wards
Following the path down, we found a smaller pond and a garden filled with dragon flies and butterflies. There were a couple of people around, but it was pretty quiet, considering how close it was to all the crowds.
That was quite a small dragonfly, there were bigger ones flying around!!
On a little walk through, past a marina, there is this floating rotten platform. Its been there a while, and so have the pair of swans that are often on it. I think they must of been there for about 4-5 years, and I was glad to see both of them there, since last time there was only one! And swans mate for life, so I got sad, thinking the other one was dead! But they are both alive, yay! I couldn't get a very good picture in the sunlight, but the two white blobs are the swans:
There was a small event called 'Art on the Pier' going on at South Parade Pier, which is what me and my friend wanted to go too, so we had a look round the 15 artists tables and then had a chat with one of the artist my friend knew.
After that, I went home and painted my nails then had a lovely roast dinner! It doesn't matter how hot it will be, I love my roasts!! Me and my dad had it with some lovely smoked salmon, which was delicious with gravy!
In the evening we went to the post office club quiz, which we proceeded to lose, though we did win the Bonus round!
It was a pretty good weekend all round! Got out and about and had a fun time!
What did you guys get up to this weekend just passed?

STAY BEAUTIFUL

Tuesdays are for Thunder Storms!

Heyo!! How was your Tuesday bloggers? Mine was very mixed up, when I first got up about half 9 it was glorious sunshine and lovely. Then five minutes later it went really really REALLY dark and a massive drop hit my window and I was like uh-oh (spaghettiooooss) Then it thundered and POURED down with rain!!
Was sunny five minutes ago...
And so I took breaks from writing Mondays blog to keep staring out the window in awe and disbelief at the sudden change of weather!! I went to sit down again and suddenly BANG massive hail stones started banging against the window!!
All the white blurs are the hail stones! Huge they were!
Luckily this horrendous weather stopped after a while but it stayed immensly dark till the afternoon, which didn't help with the electricity running out for half an hour while I had my shower! It was so dark, I was tempted to go back to bed!! Instead, I prevailed, found the electric key and popped that in the slot and voila! I can put my light back on! So I was saved my midday nap!!
I managed to fit some studying in before attacking my nails with my mani kit. They needed a good home mani!!
My nail stuff!
I need a good professional mani and pedi, specially the pedi, my toes are looking abused, poor things!! Least they are brightly coloured now though! I used Rimmels I <3 Lasting Finish in Sunshine and Tangerine Queen and my base and top coat is by Avon, 24k Strength! I love the little mini manicure set I have, its shaped like a cat and I got it for Christmas!
So cute, but a bit dirty from travelling EVERYWHERE with me!
Since it was so dull and cloudy outside I did a lovely bright nail to cheer myself up!!
Mmmm makes me think of sweeties
Its a bit like summery yellow and oranges of Autumn (I think haha!) coming together. Since its late August and soon to be September, which means the end of summer and the begining of Autumn!! YAY I love Autumn its my second favourite season next to Spring!
Something else yummy was these Neapolitan Bakewells. Naughty but soooo nice!! Least I haven't had any chocolate though (apart from the chocolate bit in this haha!) Usually I would be snacking on rocky bars, lots of them, but I had two of these today and two spoonfuls of ice cream, which is a lot less crap than I normally eat!!
OHM NOM NOM MR KIPLING YOU ARE MY WEAKNESS
I swear, Mr Kipling is out to make me fat!! I love nearly all his cakes!! Must. Not. Eat. Cake. Luckily all the crap in the house of mine and boyfies is gone now so I won't be attracted by it (well apart from the Nutella and White chocolate spread but I am managing to resist that for now!)

Oh hows this for a stinker. At the end of the day it was soooo windy and cold but it ended up like this!
GAH
I wanted to go for a bike ride, but it was waaaaaay to cold and windy!! Stupid weather, I hope today is better!!

Dress from Primarni - £15, Cardy from Charity £3, black leggings
So thats all from me today!! See you later girls!!

Weekend Weddings (and other things!)

Nerrrr :P


Hi guys!! Hows it been!! I hope you are all doing well!! I haven't been up to much, finished college and just been bumming around between Hull and Portsmouth!! At the moment I am in Hull, for about a month before college restarts!! I get my results this week I hope to GOD I haven't failed too badly!! I am so scared!!

But anyways, enough of my boring life and onto something we all love (even if we don't believe in them!):
WEDDINGS

At the weekend, me and the boyfie went to his Aunties wedding! Even though the weather was predicted rain, the sun shone for us and it was lovely and warm!! I went out shopping the day before to see if I could pick up a last minute outfit (I had one planned but any excuse to buy new things!) and Primani became my new heaven (while in Hull, Yumi is still my favourite down south shop, more on that later ;) ) They have such lovely girly things there at the moment!! Some of it is quite seethrough, to the disgust of the boyfie who said it looks like nighties and looks too slutty to wear in day time (god I love him, bless!). I managed to scoop myself a new dress in pale blue with a lacy flower pattern all over, some pretty bows and a lovely pair of nude pink shoes, which cost alltogether less than £30!!

Dress - £15, Tights - £2.50, Shoes - £10, Bows in hair - £1.50, Umbrella - £4 all from Primani! Handbag & belt was my own :D
 All the outfits at the wedding were lovely and a lot of the women had gorgeous shoes!! (Man I LOVE shoes right now, I am already thinking about winter shoe boots!!)
We started off the day in a hurried panic. Well, I didn't, I got up at half 8, had my breakfast, scowled at my boyfriend for getting in the shower before me and taking so long and then getting ready by about 10:15 with fifteen minutes to spare before the taxi arrived!! I organise the night before, set all the stuff out neatly so its ready for the next day! His mam and sister, how ever, had to go to the hair dressers on the day to get their hair done and by the time they got home, his mam realised that she had holes in her tights and didn't have time to buy some new ones! Luckily she had a pair of leggings to go with the dress she wore, so all was well by the time we got  in the taxi's!
After a hurried dash through town to the registry office, realising we weren't late, we relaxed and chatted before everyone was herded into a very small waiting room where we tried not to step on each others toes!!

Here comes the bride!
 The bride looked stunning in a lovely floor length black dress, all floaty and pretty!! More pictures you will see later! The ceremony was sweet, but I couldn't help myself when I let out a tiny quiet giggle at the registra. He has this weird soft quiet voice that made me want to giggle so much!! But the bride and groom looked very happy!

The groom had tears in his eyes and you could tell by his voice how over whelmed with emotion he was!
 After the standing up ceremony, we had the signing of the book (we were in a Registry Office incase I didn't mention that earlier!) and many a photo were taken!!

The happy couple :D
After much photo taking, we spilled out into the street and just up the road to a small park where many a more picture were taken!! I do love a good photo sesh and taking them in the middle of a green park with the warm sun shining down on you is just perfect!!

The bride and her lovely daughters!
I loved what both girls were wearing but I feel the one in the white dress was too skinny and it showed in that dress, you need boobs for it. But her shoes were so lovely and from New Look!! The blue dress, I want, I believe I was told it was from Oli.com! It was £30 and here is the link for it: Pretty Maxi Dress!
Floaty prettyness :D
There was of course the tradition family shots!!

My boyfriend is the very very tall one. His older sister is in the nude dress (£65 from Next catalogue), little brother in the suit and blue tie and his youngest sister in the pink dress. His mum is in the grey dress on the far left!
I was just there to take photos I didn't want to be in any of the shots as I wasn't family!! After the main bridal party shots, we milled around waiting for taxis to take us to the reception at a small pub in Queens street called RUSCADOR'S, used to be The Heritage pub! Heres a few more shots from the gardens:

Me posing in my dress haha!


The brides two daughters (white and blue) and boyfies two sisters (pink and nude). You can just see his older sisters sparkely gemmed shoes!

The boyfie and his family!



Me and the boyfie (excuse my dumb face!)
Once we were at the pub, we all found somewhere to sit and chatted with each other, waiting for the best man speech (awwww he was nearly crying!) where he made a joke right at the begining. "They say the best man speech is usually as long as the love making as the bride and groom....so please raise your glasses!" and he also said another, "I best stop now as my jokes are so bad even the cake is in tiers!". I laughed a lot at that one, I shall remember that!! The spread was lovely, none of the posh fancy food which you don't know whats what and are very scared to try, but lovely normal foods like prawns, mussels, quiches, sandwiches, crisps. I love buffets :D I ate mostly prawns, crab sticks and mussels, and also those little poofy pastries with toppings on top. They had two cakes, one sponge one for us people who don't like fruit cake, and the pretty wedding cake was all fruit cake!

Ooo what a pretty cake! Taken by boyfies little sister!

After we had our fill, more photos were taken on the little raised bit which I supposed was normaly for inhouse bands!

Awww the happy couple!

A family shot :D (The younger brother had left as he was bored)
 Then there was the traditional cutting of the cake:

Both looking happy!

And finally, at half 4 in the afternoon, our little troupe decided it was time to leave!! So with slightly aching feet and full bellies, we walked back into the main area of town and caught a bus (glamorous!) home and relaxed. I didn't personally get changed, as I was comfy  in my clothes, but boyfie and his sisters did and then his older sister came round to look at the photos and upload onto facebook (of which I did the same after she left!). The day was long but it was full of love and happiness (and cake) and I had a good time!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday was just a normal Sunday for me, relaxing in the bath for about an hour (to which my boyfie said when I got out "how long do you need your bath!") where I scrubbed, shaved and bubbled my way to relaxation then  threw on a comfy outfit of black leggings and a shirt dress. We spent the day tidying and messing around with bikes (as in cycles). Boyfie was teaching me how to ride a bike again, as I hadn't since I was 12 due to operations on my hips, but my gosh do I have a sore bum today!! We had a lovely spagbol for dinner and an early night as boyfie has to get up at half 6 in the morning for work!!

But since its now 12:38pm I had best leave this blog post for now and get on with my Monday!! I have things to do today and spent all morning on the internet already!! Hope you ladies (and gentlemen) have a nice day!
