Chesterrr.

My mother took me on a lovely little trip to Chester at the weekend, for my birthday. Chester was a pretty, little haven, set in the heart of Cheshire with the Peak District hills as a backdrop. A great place to visit, perfect for couples or anyone looking for a change of scenery, I actually ony saw about 3 chavs during my whole visit aswell which was a bonus i can assure you.
Only going for an overnight stay i'm pretty gutted I didnt get to see the city's more cultural aspects including a wall that's meant to run all the way round it. I only had time for shopping as you can imagine, and luckily Chester didn't dissapoint, feeding my habbit with an enormous selection of stores including all your usual high street numbers and a few unique gems.
I was extremely happy with my purchases, all courtesy of Mummy's birthday treat of course, which included some gorgeous shoe boots from Topshop, that i'd had my eye on for a while, a stripey body from River Island with cute anchor buttons on the sleeves, a netted jumper from the H&M sale and some vintage looking necklaces from Miss Selfridge. I also got 'The Sartorialist,' the book with images from his amazing blog, Scott Schuman manages to capture some brilliant images of raw style and creativity through fashion on the street. Now a trusted photographer among fashion royalty, people such as French Vogue Editor Carine Roifeld let Scott shoot her as she walks around Paris during Fashion Week.



From my Dad i got a digital SLR, the Canon 100D, which has beenon my wish list for what seems like forever! So will be posting alot of pictures once i get to grips with it! It's my actual birthday on Tuesday, but i'm not going all out this year, just a meal and drinks with a few close friends!
That's all for now.
Peace x
