My Bank Holiday Weekend!

Hi all,

The sun is out and I am loving it! I had the most fabulous weekend jam packed with lots of things to do. From doing a fashion and style segment on the 'Royal Wedding' at BBCWM, going rock climbing, to going to see 'Motown' the musical, this has hands down been one of my favourite weeks of 2018 thus far.

Thursday

On Thursday my Mr man had a surprise in store for me, so I put on a a lovely dress and began guessing what it could possibly be, and then we arrived outside the Shaftesbury theatre in London. I literally squealed with excitement when I realised he was taking me to see 'Motown' the musical,  I adore the theatre and if I didn't do fashion I would've done acting. The musical didn't disappoint, it was filled with our parents old time favourite songs like 'My Girl','Signed Sealed Delivered', and of course the beautiful sequinned gowns that were worn by the lady who played Diana Ross just took my breath away. After that it was a double date dinner at Wagamamas before a stroll down by Somerset house.

Friday

On Friday morning I raced back to Birmingham to prepare for my fashion slot on BBCWM's 'Richie Anderson' radio show, where I spoke with Richie about the 'Royal Wedding' giving my style tips on what colours and silhouettes people could wear to weddings, and which designer I think should design Meghan Markle's wedding dress. I had a monthly fashion segment for the whole year in 2016 so it was great to be in the studio again with Richie Anderson.

Sunday

Sunday was probably the busiest day of the week. In the morning I went to church which was great because I hadn't been for a while and I always enjoy the word that preps my mind for the week. The weather that day was beautiful with crystal blue sky, so my Mr and I took full advantage having a little picnic with chicken, chips and cans of pineapple KA before heading to the ice-cream parlour for passion fruit and chocolate chip ice cream (yum). At around 6:00pm I changed into a lovely orange dress, fluffed my afro and we headed out to the 'Jamaica Vs The World' Comedy show in Shepherds Bush. I laughed so hard, the show was hilarious with my favourite comedy sets coming from Aurie Styla and Shabba.

Monday

On Monday I completely stepped out of my comfort zone and went indoor rock climbing at 'Strong Hold' in Tottenham. I was worried at first because we had no ropes or safety harnesses, just cushioned crash mats, but once I jumped straight in I had so much fun, it was great and something I definitely want to do again. After rock climbing we drove to Oxford for a friends birthday at a lovely rooftop restaurant called 'The Alchemist'. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better day, it was sunny, I had on a backless dress, there was a beautiful view, I had a strawberry daiquiri in hand, and a lovely dinner of lamb with cous cous.

Over all my weekend was AMAZING! I didn't want it to end and my boyfriend really went the extra mile to make me feel special and pretty all weekend long. I hope we have more weather like this, I genuinely feel like everyones mood is much better and doing little things like going to the park and living in the moment is what it's all about.

Until next time have a great week guys xx :)
