An Audrey Hepburn Day...

What a lovely day I have just had! While Vinny, Emma and Rique had a meeting I spent my day being Audrey. I honestly don't know where the idea came from (maybe my lack of dressing up these days, or my newly dyed hair) but I had the strongest urge to dress up and walk around town. Sitting outside a cafe was also a must happen.


I chose a classic simple green dress with black heels, did my hair and headed off on my adventure! (I did have a continual fear of tripping in the heels on the cobblestone streets and falling flat on my face - but thankfully that didn't happen!) Did quite alot of window shopping before ending up outside Starbucks. (A little French cafe would've been better but S'bux worked just grand)

It couldn't have been more perfect weather. Warm (for Belfast) and the sun was out! I got my coffee just as a table became available outside. I sat there and people watched for a good half hour before some of the teens from Street Reach arrived to crash my "me date" - though I didn't mind. Love them guys loads like!

Around 2pm I met up with Amy (another teen) and we headed to a vintage shop near where the DCB meeting was at.

SIDE NOTE: I am in love with this vintage shop! It is full of the most exquisite and rare pieces - however, unlike in American vintage shops, the stuff is actually at thrift store prices! It's like they found all of the most incredible vintage pieces for me and put it all in one shop while leaving the old price tag on! Didn't really have money to spend. . . but when I do, I'll know right where to go :)

We finally met back up with the team - their meeting ran a bit longer than usual. After lunch, Emma got her lip pierced (something she's been contemplating to do for a couple weeks now - haha no more drawn on dot!)

Youth tonight was AMAZING! We hung out beforehand and then went into a worship evening. Lasted several hours and the spirit of God was so thick! He continues to show up in amazing ways! Each week there's something more extreme than the last!

Well I have a busy weekend ahead of me. Gonna head to bed now! (After watching some Olympics that is! Girls all-around is tonight!)

Sweet dreams!
