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!!!
