Adventure day with Imie!

Today, after absolutely ages of not seeing each other, I met up with my friend Imie and went for a shopping trip in Reading! She's currently at Uni so it's obviously been very difficult to meet up so this was a great time to catch up as we were both free for once!

We started off by having lunch at my favourite restaurant (if you can call it that...), Handmade Burger Co. where we proceeded to chat about life and take sneaky photos of each other, ending with each of us having a photo where we look pretty bored/unimpressed while we were caught off guard! 

I was looking at my phone...not asleep!

Imie concentrating on her drink...and still looking crazily pretty, it's just not fair!

I love the restaurant because it's like a fancy Nandos - quieter, better quality food and an insane selection of different toppings and types of burger! It only ended up being £10 each as well which was great, student cards are the best thing to happen to this world!

We then ended up going to House of Fraser and Imie ended up getting her first MAC lipstick and lipliner which brings my tally of people I've persuaded to buy one in the last month to three - I'm quite impressed with myself. After a look in Waterstones, New Look and Zara, we stopped off at Superdrug where I bought a base coat nail polish and Imie got some more make up - see her review post here. 

After a final stop off at Boots and a trip to Starbucks, we headed home. 

I had a great day and I can't wait to meet up with her again - I love seeing old friends that I'm still close with even after ages!

P.S. Some of my older readers (pre-2014 Challenge) will recognise the dress - I featured it in my Things I've had my eye on recently post back in October! I bought it before I went to see Catching Fire the other day and I'm so so happy with it, it fits perfectly and it's a perfect dress for the colder months as it isn't too short and the sleeves and high neckline give an extra covering most dresses don't! It's from H! by Henry Holland at Debenhams for £38. I'll do a full-body shot when I have the time!

MotoGP

As a mini end of Summer treat, my dad got our family tickets for the MotoGP at Silverstone on Sunday. It was such a great day out! I've loved it since I was little so actually getting to see the races up close was such an amazing opportunity. We watched Moto 2 (lower class of bikes) first; it was so exciting and the atmosphere was great! The winner was an English man so everyone went crazy and cheered super loudly when he went past and won! MotoGP (highest class of bikes) wasn't as exciting because the leader stayed in first pretty much all the way through. It got exciting towards the end though when people started overtaking and closing gaps, every time someone overtook people cheered! The English guy in that race had crashes in the warm up and managed to dislocate his shoulder in the warm up lap so he didn't race as well as he could have which wasn't good but he still did really well considering!

It was a really great day and an even better end to summer - I'm so glad I got to go!
