| recent happenings on instagram

Hey lovelies. I recently set up an Instagram account for my blog, which you can follow here. I thought I'd recap a few bits I've been getting up to now I'm back at uni, I've really enjoyed these last few weeks!

Around 2 weeks ago I went for an amazing meal with my boyfriend at Mango Thai Tapas, in Southampton. They have 2 branches in Southampton, both small but full of character. My absolute favourite was the breaded calamari, the dish closest in the picture. At the bottom was a salty but tangy soy sauce which just enhanced the whole flavour further. We also shared Coconut Chicken, with a gorgeous and light coconut sauce, crispy sweet and sour pork and the best BBQ ribs I've ever had. No joke.

Last week, I took my fabulous friend for afternoon tea, at Grand Cafe in Southampton for his birthday. I'd never been for afternoon tea before and I couldn't think of a better person to go with! We gossiped, giggled and gossiped some more over an array of cute sandwiches, marvellous plain and fruit scones (he had both fruit scones I'm a fussy eater..), and then the most gorgeous cupcake. It was a huge shame though as I couldn't finish the whole thing because I was already stuffed! The icing was squishy like marshmellow but toffee flavoured, I swear I could've eaten a whole bowl of the icing alone and been happy. Also the service was lovely, our waitress was attentive but not over the top and so friendly! Above is the outfit I wore for the fancy occasion.

Recently I've loved finding a great outlet to share more of my holiday pictures from Brittany. I didn't want to bombard my dear readers but the region is just too pretty not to photograph! Therefore Instagram is a great place to share a few more, and also to help me reminisce all the memories from my holiday with my family.

Thanks for reading! You can also follow me over on Bloglovin and Twitter xx
