Last Friday a friend and I were on our way to London for a weekend filled with Instagramable lunches, shopping and finding the cutest walls and houses in Notting Hill and Shoreditch. But before that all took place we went to Brighton. I visited Brighton on my last trip to London and I fell in love with the seaside, The Lanes and all the cute bakeries you can find around town.
Now when I was in Brighton there was one thing I really wanted to see: the colourful beach huts. Last time, I had no idea where they were and I thought I saw a glimpse of something colourful in the distant when I was standing on the pier. Turns out those were actually the beach huts!
After arriving in Brighton we first had a bagel at Bagelman -which was delicious btw- and after a long walk with our suitcases -yup we still had those with us- we arrived at the cutest little beach huts and acted like total tourists. After taking about a billion photos we walked all the way back for a stroll through The Lanes. We went to 42 Juice, the tiniest juice place in The Lanes. I ended up buying a ginger and carrot juice and also a healthy cleansing water with cayenne, maple syrup and lemon. To make up for all the healthiness we went to the Angel Food Bakery. I ordered the biggest slice of Victoria sponge and sipped on my green tea whilst eating all that yumminess.
To end our trip we went to The Creperie. I really wanted to eat there and it was worth the visit. Besides the fact that I was already full from that humongous slice of cake I did manage to eat a Nutty Ella crepe -don't ask me how- and take a few sips of my hot chocolate. It was all so nice, but I was too full at the end to finish it all.
I will definitely go to Brighton again and cross more hotspots and must visits off my list. There is just so much to do and so little time! Also I vlogged everything so that will be up soon as well!
As I'm writing this, I am still at home with a well packed suitcase by my side. As you read this, I am back in the city that I love so much: London. On my last trip I discovered many trendy food spots and Joe & the Juice was one of them. I might be sipping on a healthy carrot ginger juice right now!
Joe & the Juice was on the list of places to visit -the list is three pages long now, I see so many nice cafés on Instagram these days- so after a shopping trip to Boots I visited their store near Oxford Circus and went for a 'Prince of Green' juice, full of spinach, pineapple and apple. It was very nice and totally justified the giant slice of salted caramel cake I bought from LOLA's -it was near closing time so the guy behind the counter gave me an even bigger slice, happy me!-.
On the last day of my London trip I went to their store in the Carnaby Street area. I ordered a 'Go Away Doc' juice that is made with apple, carrot and ginger. I really like ginger you know. I see a huge difference in my skin when I have used it in a juice or in my tea and it adds lots of flavour. The juice was delicious too and instantly made me feel healthier.
Sadly, this was the last time I visited a Joe & the Juice but it makes me very excited that I will be back in a few days. Look out for lots of artsy blogger poses, delicious pancakes and colourful juices from Joe & the Juice on my Instagram!

Now that temperature is in the minus region I'm always seen with a thick jumper and a fluffy coat. I already talked about my leopard coat from Topshop, I love that coat to bits, but sometimes I do like to change it up a bit.
I picked up this coat last year at a flea market in Amsterdam. I was actually able to buy three coats for 70 euros which I thought was an amazing deal. I definitely wear this one the most. It's black which helps a lot when I need a coat to match my outfit and I love the big pockets on the side. Perfect for my phone and public transport card when I am on the go. It's also incredibly soft and looks so good considering the fact it was a second hand coat.
I matched my coat with my Topshop Fringe Hem Jamie Jeans and snake skin booties from Primark. I'm also wearing the black and white jumper that I showed in my haul, but the scarf is covering up that bit quite well. That jumper is one of my recent faves and it was on sale too, such a bargain!
And if you are looking for a perfect spot for an outfit photo in Amsterdam this is the one. I took this photo near the ‘Negen Straatjes’ -great food places there as well- and it's so lovely with the canals and these stairs that lead up to someone’s house. Wish I will live in a property like that some day!
