This stunner is from Girl In Mind!

Hello and welcome to the blog. 

Big apologies for the late post today. 

Hope you’ve all had a super weekend. I’ve had a busy one this week. 

Friday was my wedding anniversary.  David and I celebrated 38 years married and went out for a fabulous meal out in a local restaurant called Birdies which is in the heart of Whitstable and is always busy! They have a divine menu and have always been renowned for their beef wellington and lobster with garlic sauce. Both David and I had these choices and I can confirm they were very tasty. 
After a few too many glasses of fizz and a couple of Jäger Bomb’s (don’t judge me),  I had a pretty bad morning and wondered if I’d make my visit to London on Saturday night!!

I had some food and a little nap before getting ready for the afternoon train and felt so much better. I vowed to take it easy this time, which I adhered to, well done me!

I love visiting London, there’s just something exciting about being there. With so much going on and plenty of people buzzing around I’m full of awe. I wonder what everyone is doing, where they are going and where they have come from, I’m just such a nosey person. 

We were with friends celebrating both David and my birthday’s. They’d booked an Italian restaurant called Circolo Poplare who have many restaurants over Europe and are most certainly popular dining choices - it was packed!

We had such an amazing meal highlighted with the notable carbonara served from a cheese bowl and the lemon meringue pie which was a-maze-ing! See piccys below!

I’m always on the hunt for new dresses and after seeing a friend wearing a similar style I just had to ask her where it was from. 

Girl in Mind is a new-to-me website which offers unique and interesting designs for that special occasion and once I saw this beauty I just had to buy it! As I was a new customer I enjoyed a 15% discount which made the stunning dress under £40!!! Have a look on there as they’ve got loads of lovely styles to muse over, let me know what you’d pick!💕

You might have guessed I’m a big admirer of bright colours. You’ve only to scroll back through my posts to see my love of vibrant shades. So no surprise this shirt dress caught my eye the instant I saw it. 

Happy colours, I like happy colours that make me smile. Pink mixed with gold, yellow and orange are all Summery shades and work well to blend in with sunny days or brighten up dreary weather. On Saturday it was a mixed bag, neither sunny or cloudy - just a bit of both, perfect to be honest. I was spoilt for choice for my accessories but had already settled on pink taking top spot. I knew the sling-backs, which are suede and very soft inside and out, would be perfect - basically because they compliment the dress but more importantly because they are comfortable and easy to wear. What do you think of my pretty midi called Rhia?

After the restaurant we went to a little Gin bar, called The Hat Tavern. So I just had to try a hat on! Didn’t really suit me though, but the fizz did … lol!

My starter from Circolo Popolare, Burrata Pappa Al Pomodoro, which was delicious. 

My main course was delicious, I had crab linguine. 

The grand finale, listed as ‘the incomparable lemon meringue pie’ and I can vouch for the fact that it was. People go there just for this and I can see why, it was mouthwatering. I need to go back to try it again … one day soon! 

I’m looking forward to a more relaxed and quieter week. Let’s see how things go, I’ll let you know on Thursday. 

Great to have you here today, thanks so much for your support. 

Catch you again for the Chicandstylish Linkup.

Until then have an exciting week. 

Cheerio. X
