Brighton - Don't be jel

Beware this is an extremely picture heavy post! I have just got back from an amazing few days in Brighton and am currently in bed and do not intend to move. I am seriously too old to drink two days on the trot now.

I found out that TOWIE has a massive impression on the population of England. One mention of the word Essex and it was all reem, jel and vajazzle. I have never been prouder to be an Essex girl haha! I have seriously never laughed so hard in my life, I dont think we ever stopped. It was such a brilliant few days. I even managed to convince my friend who thinks vintage is "disgusting smelly old people clothes" to spend the day rummaging in the huge amount of vintage shops. It was just a shame I only had a £20 limit but I still managed to nab some goodies which i'll do in a post tomorrow :) Snoopers Paradise is my idea of heaven, I have now realised that I will have a junk house haha! My friend even bit the bullet and brought a vintage bag and scarf. My next mission is to drag her to car boots!I met up with one of my old sixth friends who moved down to Brighton to go to Uni and never came back home. He took us for a bit of a pub crawl around the North Laines and then we ended up going back to his friends house in Kemptown. I made a very good impression when I kicked a glass of wine over as I stood up. Obviously you can take the girl out of Essex but not the Essex out of the girl! We ended up having a mad night with lots of dancing and singing in a club on the seafront. Isn't my best friend a beauty? :)
Thanks to everyone on twitter who suggested places to go, they were all so good. The Angel Food Bakery was so amazing we went back twice so we could take some home. I have just polished off the lemon cupcake this very minute.

We went to this amazing bar called Font which was a old converted church. I did feel a bit weird at first getting my rave on in a church haha! The DJ was in the pulpit and it still had the pews dotted around.

My friend Scott with all the inside knowledge and who kept insisting on buying shots!
I have decided that nothing beats getting all glammed up and dancing like an idiot to Teenage Dirtbag with your best friend.

  10. You look gorgeous in all of these pictures! Wow, maybe I need to go to Brighton then, when a resturaunt waiter in Italy asked where we were from, we said Essex and he backed away slowly looking scared and got someone else to serve us! And that was before the days of TOWIE! Haha!
