OOTD : Sea Sand and Sun @ Blackpool

Sawasdee ka~
Last week on OOTD post I wrote about weekend away in Blackpool. Today post is still out and about around Blackpool. My boyfriend and I went there for 2 days and a night. On our second day we went to Sandcastle water park. It meant to be the biggest water park in EU. It's an indoor water part with lots of slides, attraction and spa. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures in there as I had too much fun and totally forgot about camera. If you are interested you can check the detail on its website here. Apart from the waterpark if you have time Illuminasia, the world largest indoor illumination, is another place that worth a visit.

A long walk along the beach when the water tide out is a good idea for chillax Sunday. And to avoid windy-messy hair I decided to updo my hair and wore statement earring to make more detail to the look. I think a good lacey dress is a good outfit idea for going to beach. To contrast all the black-ness I also paired it with outstanding red lippy bag ❤︎

At Illuminasia
Black lace dress : Goldie London
Lippy bag : H&M
Shoes : Primark

What do you think about my outfit, yayy or nayy?

OOTD : Gimme Kisses @ Blackpool

Sawasdee ka~
On the weekend after my birthday, my boyfriend and I went to Blackpool to celebrate our birthdays together. Why I say our birthdays? Because I was born on the 11th and my boyfriend was born on the 16th September. So the weekend between our birthdays is perfect. It was a lovely day that is not too cold and also not too hot (a bit windy though you can see it from my hair lol).

It was my first time in Blackpool. This city is different from other cities I have ever visited. It's full of amusements and casinos along the street from north to south beach. Please don't ask how much we spent lol. As we arrived in the afternoon and quite hungry we went for fish&chips. A typical meal that I believe everybody must have when visit beach cities. After filled up with food we went down to Blackpool Pleasure Beach themepark. The ticket for entry is £29.99 each but because we arrived about 3pm which is quite late for theme park so we bought a VIP speedy pass that help us skip a long queue too. So we can manage to play almost all the big rides. I highly recommend The Big one, Infusion, Wallace&Gromit's thrill o-matic and finish off with Valhalla (because you will get all wet and soak).

For outfit of the day, I actually didn't plan to go theme park so it doesn't look quite practical for all the big rides but luckily I was wearing support shorts so it is not actually a problem for me.
Lip print top : Boohoo

OOTD: Sporty Girl @ Harewood House

Sawasdee ka~

Did you have a good long bank holiday? I did! Last Sunday I went to Harewood house (30 minute away from Leeds if you go by bus). After a poopy weather for whole week I was lucky enough to have a nice sunny day out.

Harewood is a perfect place, whether you want to visit the house and its wonderful collections, relax in the gardens or play on the playground. It normally open during summer time; for this year I believe it will open until 3rd November. You will need to buy ticket to get in though. If you are travelling by bus number 36 from Leeds you also will get a discount. Moreover, if you are a student you will get more discount! Apart from a beautiful house there is bird garden. It's home to rare and exotic species including penguins, snowy owls, flamingos, parrots etc. I also love penguin feeding that will be at 2pm everyday. You can even feed them by yourself but this have to be booked in advance and it costs £10.

Right, move on to my outfit of the day. If you saw my latest haul post you might probably familiar with this mickey dungarees. I just bought it and can't help wearing it before summer say goodbye. So it's kind of sporty girl look. The point of the look apart from dungarees would be shiny LOVE cap that my boyfriend said that it's too shiny and blind him lol. I love it though it complete the look


Mickey mouse dungarees : Primark
Mint cropped vest : Topshop
Love cap : New Look
Bag and "kiss me" ring : Unknown
Wedge-Heeled Sneakers : Adidas (similar)
Watch : Calvin Klein
Mind Game tight : Ebay
Lipstick : YSL in 13 Peach Passion
Location: Harewood

OOTD : Hey buttercup @ Boathouse Restaurant


Sawasdee ka~
I just realise that I haven't post this outfit yet. I actually took these photos since Easter. My boyfriend was desperately want to row a boat so he took me to Boathouse restaurant in Colchester, Essex. It's located next to the river Stour and you can also hire a rowing boat there. You can hire from 30 minutes (£7) to an hour (£14) or more if your like. We actually intended to have lunch there as well, but the time when we arrived the restaurant was full, the waiter said the waiting time is about half an hour. So during wait we decided to hire a rowing boat first. Luckily my boyfriend row a boat before so I didn't have to do anything just sitting like a princess and chillax lol. If you are interested make sure you check the website and open time to avoid disappointment. I will give the link at the end of this post

After 3 courses meal I was in a total food coma...hmmm yummy yummy in my tummy. My boyfriend and I also went for a walk around there afterward and took few snapshots for OOTD in this post. Hope you like it :)

Croptop : ASOS
Skirt : New Look
Flower hair clips : H&M

OOTD : Trip to Heraklion

Yassou lovely readers,
If you follow my blog for awhile you might feel a little bit weird with my greeting today. Yassou is actually Greek word for "hello". The reason why I use this word instead of my normal "sawasdee ka" in this post is because I just went to Greece for almost a week and just came back on last Friday. So today post will be about what did I do there and a little bit of OOTDs.

You might be surprise if I tell you the reason that I go to Heraklion (Greece) this time is not for holiday, but I actually go for some scientific conference. And I'm lucky enough to go there without paying anything. The budget from the conference committee is cover the full meeting costs, accommodation and the travel costs!! It's a really great time to get away from rain in UK and say hello to sunshine and tan line (I manage to get 2 shades darker skin after sun bathing yayyyyy). I went there for 5 days and 4 nights and need to say thank you my supervisor to give me a chance to attend this conference. Although I have to go there by myself but at the end I met lots of great people.

Right that's enough blabbing from me and let's move on to my choice of clothes. Because I know that it's hot there and I need to wear something that appropriate enough to attend the conference so most of the clothes that I pack in my suitcase are dresses.

         Day one: it was a free day and I chose to wear something comfy. I was wearing an airtex "chase the boys heart" vest - Primark. 
         Day two: my oral presentation day. I picked the pink dress from Topshop. This dress actually caught lots of attention during my talk.
         Day three: a floral maxi dress (bought this dress a year ago so the link shows a similar dress) - New look
         Day four: I didn't have a chance to take a photo of my clothes but I was wearing a strapless bodycon dress from Topshop. 
         Last day: it was another free day before I went back to UK later that afternoon. I wore a mint ribbed cropped vest from Topshop and white hot pants from Primark.  
For more info about hotel. In case someone is interested. The location of the conference is held in Knossos beach hotel (last picture) but due to the limited number of rooms available I'd been accommodated to the nearest one which is about 3 minutes walk from Knossos beach hotel. It takes about 10 minute drive from airport or about 20 minutes by bus. Name of the hotel that I stayed is "Aquis Arina Sand". My room has a big balcony which has a beautiful view, twin beds, bath and big wardrobe. All meals are inclusive from 7 am till 11pm so basically you can eat and drink all day without paying anything. Impressive!!

Do you have any plan for this summer holiday?

OOTD : Hello Lavenham


Sawasdee ka~

If you read my OOTD post about what did I wear to a spring wedding, surely you know that last Easter I went down to Suffolk with my boyfriend. We had a chance to drive to Lavenham (one of the oldest villages in UK). Before I talk about my outfit I would like to write a bit about Lavenham too. This village is known as 'England's best preserved medieval village'. It's an attractive and charming place to go for a day out or even stay during the weekend. There are many B&B and hotels around the village. My boyfriend said that this village attract alot of tourism over the holiday period. Along the street there are plenty of lovely wooden houses, tea houses, art and antique shops. So make sure you bring camera with you. I'm sure you will want to take a few snaps. I would highly recommend this place if you plan to travel around there this summer and you will fall inlove with this little village like I do.

There are 3 places I show you in this post that I really like. The first one is the Swan hotel, I didn't stay there just went for traditional afternoon tea. It was a nice afternoon nibble which filled my tummy until the next day. Next is Timbers antique shop, I love wandering around vintage shop although I didn't manage to buy anything from there but I'm really impress with how the owner layout the shop with loads of many vintage items. The lovely lady there also really nice. The last one is tea room again "Munnings tea room emporium", unfortunately I didn't have any tea there because it was full but I'm sure I will visit there again if I have a chance. The tearoom has a unique decoration and the staff there (not sure whether she is the owner) was really friendly.

Right, move on to OOTD post today. The day that I went to Lavenham was a nice not so sunny day with a glimpse of warm. I was wearing a black skater dress with a red hat to give a bit of contrast. I also bring cardigan with me just in case it start to get colder. The outfit today is a casual look but somehow also make me stand out from the crowd.

Skater dress : ASOS
Bag : Topshop
Hat and shoes: Thai street market
