Hey Everyone!!
Hope you are all good!!
I am unfortunately knackered!!
The tiredness has finally caught up
with me so I'm sooooooooo tired.
I did sleep till gone 12pm which
means I'm back to normal.
I feel as if I need a bit of hermit
time.
Yes HERMIT TIME!!
Shame it can't last...SUCKS!!
I keep finding at the moment when I
wake up I always have a headache!!
Am I the only one??
I probably am...
I'm babbling again!!
MUST STOP!!
Anyway...
This was me yesterday after spending
a day in London
with Leah.
So like I said I went to London with Leah for the
day. I haven't seen Leah since November so it was about time we had time to catch
up. We organised a day and a time to meet up, (which got put back an hour - we
were both sleepy). I said to Leah that it was up to her where we go and what we
do, I was quite happy just tagging along and spending time with her (corny). We
headed to Victoria and then on to Covent Garden (we did miss our stop and had to go back
again). This is the point where I mention how cool it is that you go in lifts at
Covent Garden. That might not sound cool but
it's the only way to get up to street level; I felt as if we were all queuing
up for a ride. My excitement grew when we were standing right at the front, (I
was waiting for Willy Wonka to jump out and the lift turn to glass). After
coming out of the station we headed to Rokit,
which I didn't realise was there until a couple of months ago. I think Leah and
I spent about 20 minutes walking around; but eventually we left and headed to Urban Outfitters. One of the goals
of yesterday was for Leah to hand out her CV, so I was being a good friend by
pointing out any vacancies. In UO
I think I fell in love with half of the vintage and all of the t-shirts (both men’s
and women’s). After that we headed to this massive art shop called London Graphic Centre, which I had
no idea existed. I'm not the most artistic person on the planet, so I was
literally bombarding Leah with questions about what all these things were. My
favourite item I saw was a set of Alber Elbaz's set of Lanvin colour pencils; they were I
think £400+ but they're Lanvin so
I loved them. I did get a bit happy with the polystyrene balls - they were
funny!! I did meet my French husband who made both Leah and I swoon. Honestly I
think we spent about an hour in there maybe a little bit less. I kept touching
everything and mucking about; but you know I don't take anything seriously
(within reason). We then headed to American
Apparel (yes I drooled over the disco pants again), Mango and Dr Martens (why do I never wear them
when I go in). The station was calling us again and we headed to Camden town!! I haven't
been to Camden
in what feels like years (actually I think it has been years). We looked round
a couple of vintage shops and got lost at one point; but thankfully I knew
where I was going so I got us out. Oh and OMG Berty
& Gerty aren't there anymore!! I was like 'WHHHAAATTTT!!!!' Let's just
say ASOS Marketplace is going to
get a lot of money out of me from now on. As much as I love going to Camden and looking through
everything I don't have the patience for it. I much prefer going online and
buying stuff on there, and I know it takes the fun out of it but I'm lazy.
After walking around Camden
for a bit Leah remembered she wanted to buy a book. So I thought we could head
over to Charing Cross and to the Waterstones there. It's
quite funny how I'm currently reading The
Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern and that's the book Leah wants to read. It
sometimes scares me how much we have in common. So we hopped on the Underground
and headed to Waterstones. It was quite good because they had a buy one get one
half price deal, so Leah picked up The
Night Circus and another book and I picked up The
Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky and MI6:
Life and Death in the British Secret Service - Gordon Corera. After
spending ages wandering round all the various books and singing along to the
music, (yes there was someone behind me and I didn't realise) we headed on
home. Thankfully we managed to get the same train but we go off at different
stops. Overall it was a really fun enjoyable day and I hope we have many more
to come.
To the outfit...
I was up till 12:30am yesterday
morning trying to figure this outfit out. I had a sudden urge to wear my denim
shirt but didn't know it what way to wear it. So I decided to layer it up with
my new chunky knit jumper from New Look.
I've been after a black chunky knit jumper for work to layer up with shirts;
but I didn't want to pay the Topshop prices for one. A while ago I saw this jumper
on the New Look website and I knew I
wanted to get it. I kept forgetting as each pay check came and went, until
Saturday where I made it my mission to find and buy this jumper.
I had to hunt for it but eventually I managed to find it and at £19.99 I think
it's such a good price. I first wore it on Sunday for work and I was so cosy in
it; that it just made the waiting worth it. You will definitely be seeing this
jumper a lot more in the future. I wanted to add some colour to this outfit, so
I decided to give my Romwe leggings its
first trip out. I love these leggings
and I think they're so unique (I did see someone wearing a different design but
similar). When they went in to the flash sale I couldn't believe my luck, there
more amazing part was that they were only £10.61!! A tenner!! I honestly
couldn't believe it so I ordered them without thinking twice. They are a really
nice fit but my only problem with them is they kept falling down. I spent most
of yesterday pulling them on or having them fall down (well more like roll
down). I love them to pieces still and I think I can live with the rolling
down.
Leah actually said to me yesterday
that I refuse to grow up and this is why she loves me. I'm very juvenile in so many
ways but I feel older then my years in various other ways. I like that side of
me that loves unicorns, rainbows and believes in magical lands; I sometimes
feel sad that I have to live in reality where everything is how it’s supposed
to be. I will always have that little kid inside of me, but I think reality is
just going to have to get used to me...and I'm going to have to get used to
it!!
I've finally finished writing this
YAYAYAY!!
You know what that means...HERMIT
TIME!!!
