Easter Weekend Snaps

Hey lovelies.

I hope you had a great Easter weekend, if you don't celebrate Easter I hope you had a great weekend

Mr was away for the weekend with his race team, so I had a super girly weekend with my little sister.

FRIDAY

Hello Sunshine!!!
We had planned shopping and lunch but after a just a quick browse in Topshop, it was declared that we needed to be outside in the sunshine before it disappeared again.

Meadowpark Hotel in Bridge of Allan was once a nightlife hotspot for students, however a few years ago it was sold and refurbished into a lovely restaurant. We love their patio and conservatory so we headed there for some food and drinks.

 
 
 


French Martini in the sunshine. Bliss 




The marinated sticky chicken was delicious

D opted for the steak sandwich




I love the decor

SATURDAY

Looking like the sunshine was here to stay there was only one way to go:  To the beach, our favourite, not too far away, coastal town.  St Andrews.

It soon became a family affair as Mum and Dad joined us too. My other sister and her husband ended up there with their nieces too.

Sadly we weren't as lucky as Kate we didn't meet Prince Charming in St Andrews but we did have fun walking around.

Sidenote: I was accepted in to The University of St Andrews and I would have been in the same year as Kate and Wills, alas I chose to experience the city life *sighs*

SUNDAY

We had breakfast with the parents then I went for a run, it was such a beautiful day I found it difficult to run without stopping to admire the views
 

 NO puddles
 
Gorgeous views

Baby Ducks 

Then I joined the sis again for a drive to Queensferry and lunch at Orocco Pier

Cheers
 
We shared lobster and oysters 
 


MONDAY

We joined our friends and kiddies for a fun day out at Blair Drummond Safari Park where we all behaved like 5 year olds and had the best time ever...

Have a fab week!
Keep Smiling :)

THAT Dress

 
Hello again lovelies!

Last month my sister bought this gorgeous little dress to wear to a Christening! Recognise it?

 
After showing me the dress I fell in love with it, I decided I'd make a cheeky purchase myself the next day.  Unfortunately with no such luck.
 
Here's why...

Queen B was papped wearing the same dress.
The next day BOOM it was sold out in every Topshop to grace the planet.
Topshop's Satin Stripe A-Line Dress went A-List!
