Weekly Love: Week 114

I've been trying to fit as much in as I can before I say goodbye to England, so this week has included some lovely country walks, and dinner with some of my best friends in some of my favourite places, including a mouthwatering Sea Bass at The Rose Inn. On Tuesday, Sherin and one of her school friends came to visit Canterbury, and we had a fantastic girls afternoon out at the seaside, and on Wednesday I drove (it was my first time on a motorway!) my Mother and I to Bluewater for a bit of light retail therapy - I have some lovely new clothes I can't wait to share with you all in outfit posts! I introduced her to her first ever Pinkberry (you all know how obsessed I am with the frozen yogurt chain) and I had another first in the form of a delicious Byron burger - I recommend their courgette fries; absolutely to die for!

1. A little snapshot of my outfit on a lovely day in Whitstable with the girls. The cardigan is from Monsoon, the handbag from Hobbs and the dress from New Look. | 2. I love it when my friends bring me presents, this mini Moet bottle is so adorable! Thanks Sherin. | 3. Cute little chairs outside an ice cream parlour in Whitstable. | 4. An idea at the seaside I must save for another day. | 5. Yes, I have polished off yet another delicious dish of mussels! | 6. Next time you dine at Carluccios' order the raspberry meringue with passion fruit cream for dessert - it is absolutely to die for!
