Emerald Shirt Dress

Shirt dress - River Island ♦ Boots - Hypnotic ♦ Necklace - By Francis Frank ♦ Heart necklace - a gift ♦ Ring - a gift 

 Last weekend was my Mom's birthday (and Mother's Day, coincidentally) and we'd booked a holiday apartment at Whitemead park in the Forest of Dean. Here's what I wore to her special dinner out; this shirt dress is my new favourite thing ever, even if my brother did say it looked like a nightie. What do you think of it?

If my legs are looking a bit bruised and cut up, it's because they are. Whilst we were up there, Jack and I decided to check out the mountain biking trails - well, I guess you can see where this is going. I had a pretty impressive fall off my bike - well it would have been if I hadn't have cried a bit. Humiliating but hilarious. Now that I've skidded off the trail, rolled down a hill and got my hair bobble caught on a fallen tree all at the same time (yes, this really happened), I feel I can do anything. I'm getting a pretty new bike soon so I'll be ready to take on the trails once again. And next time they won't defeat me.Or bruise my arse.

This weekend we went out with Jack's family for his 21st birthday, which is on the 13th of November. We had reservations at an Indian restaurant called Regards. I'd never been there before and I've got to say, I was pretty impressed. I don't normally eat Indian food but when I do I opt for a dhansak or a malaya (I'm a fan of pineapple) but this time I chose to be boring and had a vegetable Korma. I have to say it was delicious, honestly one of the best I've had. The service was really speedy too which I appreciated as I was starving. The birthday boy of course had a jalfrezi, which makes a change from his ordinary vindaloo. Kudos to him for not sweating throughout the whole meal due to the heat. 

How amazing is Jack's mountain bike themed cake? He wanted to save it for his actual birthday; it took all our restraint to not scoff it all then and there. Although it's almost to lovely to eat, don't you think? Unfortunately I don't have a picture of Jack and I together, he's not really one for taking pictures. Maybe I'll be able to trick him and nab one for you on his actual birthday ... stay tuned.

Happy 21st Birthday to Jack! (for Wednesday) ♣
