A Weekend In Brighton!

Hey peeps! ^ . ^


So i'm finally writing another Blog post and it's about time because, well. I'm clearly lacking in them haha!

Last month it was my boyfriends birthday, so his family decided to organize a trip for us all to go to Brighton for the weekend! I vlogged each day of course and if you're someone that watches my YouTube videos, then you'll know I tend to film way tooo much :')

We left for Brighton on Friday 11th April at around 10am [I think] and when we got there me, Sam, his brother [Jay] and his bro's girlfriend [Ellie] all got dropped off near the pier/coastline so that his parents could go park the cars somewhere with free parking! [That took about an hour haha!]

Once they met up with us we then gabbed our bags and headed for the Premier Inn hotel! The rooms were lovely, me and Sam managed to grab the double bed first which meant Jay and Ellie had the 2 single beds [mwahahaha!] 
We then went to Greggs and Subway to get lunch which was only 3 shops away from our hotel! I was very pleased with my roll because by then I was sooo hungry. Once lunch was up we had a look around The Lanes and found some very quirky/weird shops then headed over to the Brighton pier which was nice as the weather was pretty good and I enjoyed walking along the beach looking into the mini souvenir shops that were there too. We then found some weird doughnut looking statue and took pictures/filmed it as it was strangely amusing, while on the pier me and Sam went on a mini 'scary' ride which was quite cheesy but when you're on holiday you've just gotta do those things! 




The next thing we went on was *drum roll* BUMPER CARS! .... I. Love. Bumper Cars haha they're so much fun and I guess I find it rather exhilarating crashing into people hoping they'll come flying out of their seats :') but once the rides were all over we went back to the hotel to change into something abit nicer for dinner, this is what I wore:

But with black patterned tights and black boots instead.

Dinner was really nice, we ate at the Harvester and I thoroughly enjoyed it but I can't quite remember what we did afterwards, so I'm guessing we just walked back to the hotel and went to bed.

Got up, got ready then went to breakfast. It was sooo nice! We had a really good typical English breakfast, I made sure that I had plenty of everything haha. Today we ventured around The Lanes where all the weird and quirky shops are, there were two girls singing and playing guitar which were very good and along our walk I bought 2 pairs of sunglasses. We went into as many shops in the market as we could for a good few hours until everyone started to get hungry, which meant is was Lunch Time! Wahoo


Our lunch was on the beach at a bar/cafe place near the pier where we sat outside enjoying the rather chilly breeze from the sea [we had super cool heater machines next to us though so it was all good]
Once we were finished it was rather cold out by then so we went back to the hotel to change and then it was time for Laser Tag! Which is like paint balling but a 'kiddy' [safer] version, I loved it haha! I didn't do aammazinglyy well but it was still so much fun. Straight after that we went back to the hotel to have a rest and change again into more fancier clothes because for dinner we were going to a steak house!

We.Ate.15.Different.Types.Of.Meat....

Very strange meat too, for example chicken heart! Very weird but we all enjoyed our meal then again went back to the hotel for bedtime.

Sadly our last day in Brighton but probably my favourite because just after breakfast [was amazing btw] we all checked out of the room and put our bags in a waiting closet then me and Sam went off on our own to explore more of The Lanes & market where I found a really interesting 'hippie' kind of shop where I bought a dreamcatcher then on our wonders we found The Holy Grail!! ...

 *Cough* *Cough* I mean Urban Outfitters haha! For those of you who know me, it's one of my favourite shops and as soon as I saw it I practically squeaked and ran in there while Sam was thinking oh god no haha :')


We was in there for about 30min [ish] I bought a really nice top for the summer and then we finished looking around the rest of the shopping center until it was time to go meet up with Sams parents back at the hotel as it was time to go home.

I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend in Brighton and I'm sure me and Sam will be going back there again soon!
