Beach towns might well be my favourite. They're always a bit quirky and traditional, the shops are independent and the local communities are strong and passionate. But for however much I love beach towns, I really, for the life of me, can't enjoy the beach itself. Maybe it's the memory of eating sandwiches which actually contained sand, getting sunburned or accidentally swallowing seawater, I'll always pick hanging out in a park or an outdoor swimming pool to the beach.

But my aunty rents a beach hut and the family spent May bank holiday hanging there.

Dressing for the beach is a bit tricky at the moment as the weather isn't especially hot and when the sun goes in, it's actually pretty cool!
This is my beach outfit, I look a little like a Parisian boy, and it screams 'I have no interest in stepping anywhere near the sea', so it really is Pierrot le Fou's seaside style haha for some strange reason the outfit pics keep rotated so the quality is really lost and you have to tilt your head

and for when it got chilly

Here are some photos I took from the beach adventure, particularly the cutest ice cream parlor I have ever been in.


Have you had any little adventures lately?

  6. I feel the same way about beach towns, I love all of the qualities you mentioned. The beach towns in Oregon, where I'm from, are adorable. And I don't really like hanging out on the beach either. It's really crazy but I just did a beach themed post like an hour ago before I ever saw yours!!! hahahaha nuts!

  11. I understand what you mean... I love the sea, but I hate the sand that gets everywhere and the salt water in your eyes, that really ruins it!
