So I was looking through my (few) photos of the weekend and thought I'd do a mini post on my love for Brighton & the absolutely wonderful Hendricks gin tent that me & Craig went to as part of the Brighton Fringe.
Cocktails made with rose & lychee were my favourite (three of my all time favourites in one glass...and it was pink?! heaven!)
There were so many wonderful interesting people to talk to and the sun was shining super bright! So good!
Heres me & my chap Craig enjoying our gin...
Above (some instagram photos): the bell jars of divinely delicious cocktails at the Hendricks tent mmmm!, some lychee juice I bought from the Oriental supermarket in Brighton, the pier at sunset on Saturday night, and raspberry's I had as part of a picnic.
Hope you've all had lots of lovely fun times, heres an utterly delightful little Hendricks Illustration I found of some interesting types in a boat, big love for Hendricks! x x x
I go to Tokyo in 100 days time with Craig! Words cannot describe how insanely exciting this is for us - it's been both of our dreams since we can ever remember - Japanese culture, and the many vibrant beautiful trends and subcultures has always fascinated me and I can't wait to explore it all and find lots of exciting pretty pastel treats!
Pink Lolita's have always been a big inspiration - I love the enormous bows, layering of sheer and ruffley Marie Antoinette style pastel & just complete sugar overdoses. I decided to make a little mood board based on some of my favourite inspiring images/ pretty things (I have soooo many images I could have included so will probably be making more soon) <3
I wish the array of exciting bows and ribbons and chunky shoes! ahhhh massssive wishlist!
