Triangle



Top - American Apparel
Skirt - Zara
Jewellery - Gogo Philip

Hiya babes! I got back from London on Wednesday night and I'm really missing it already. I feel like I did more last week than I normally do in a month! On Friday I went shopping round Oxford Street and spent a ridiculous amount in Topshop, American Apparel, MAC & Illamasqua before having a huge pulled pork sandwich in my beloved Bodean's & a papaya bubble tea in my fave dim sum cafe in China Town. Then on Saturday I went with my mum & Chloe on a day trip to Brighton. I'd never been before so I was really excited to go. We had cupcakes from Angel Food Bakery in the Lanes and then went to the pier for some fish & chips. Chloe loved the wind in her hair, eating mushy peas & she got to meet her hero Igglepiggle haha. Sunday was spent chillaxing before another day trip to Oxford. That place is ridiculously touristy! I'd never been there before either but I won't be going back in a hurry. We had lunch in Jamie's Italian where I had a lovely burger with some polenta chips. My hayfever really ruined that day for me, I sneezed literally every minute we were there. People must've thought I was diseased!

On Tuesday I finally got to go to Westfield! We ate in Wahaca which is my 2nd fave restaurant ever (Bodean's being the first!). Gotta love a good taco. Reading back this entry its no wonder I've put on a few pounds! We saw Nick Hewer filming for the Junior Apprentice. I think they were running a flower stall but I only found that out after we left, gutted we didn't buy any when the girl tried to sell them to us. Should be interesting to watch, hopefully my face won't appear in the background! Then we walked around the shops. Finally managed to buy a MAC Ever Hip lipstick after going to 3 different stores in London searching for it. The girl there said they had loads left so if you're looking for one, head to Westfield sharpish. I also got a nail polish from Inglot. Actually in total I bought 6 nail polishes last week, I must be mental. I bought this pink skirt from Zara which was only £7 in the sale and all this awesome gold triangular jewellery from Gogo Philip as all their stock was half price. Anyone whos been to Westfield, did you go in a shop called Gilly Hicks? I'd never heard of it before but it was so weird, like an Australian Hollister on crack. I hate shops like these, how are you supposed to see any of the bloody clothes? As we were leaving I swear the girl at the front said 'Have a super awesome day you guys!'. Dear god...

  3. It always puts me off going into places like Hollister when they great you with 'Hey guys, welcome to the boardwalk! Have an awesome time!' So annoying.
    Bodeans and Wahaca are my 2 favourite restaurants too, but Wahaca is number 1 for me. Cinammon churros, yum! Can't get enough of them xx

  4. Lovely skirt and necklace, I'm jealous of your gorgeous hair! And I hate stores like Hollister that are dark and cologne-drenched; how are we supposed to shop in that environment?!

  6. Ohh I do love London, I'm off there next week! Oxford street is the best, especially Topshop and Selfridges!

    Brighton is lovely too, although I've only been once! Sounds like a nice little family day out! :)

  9. That pulled pork sandwich looks amazing, so hungry right now!
    I hate shops like that which are trying to be really trendy, it makes me cringe. Call me old fashioned, but I much prefer it when shop assistants completely ignore you haha!
    Really like your necklace too, it looks lovely.

  10. I hate shops like Hollister! The one in Liverpool is ridiculous. Last Saturday there was actually a queue formed outside it! Why would anyone wanna queue up for a shop unless they were giving away stuff?! Sounds like you had a fab time in London, I really wanna go visit my London-dwelling friend when I have more time/money.

  11. I love Hollister and Gilly Hicks! I only really shop the clearances because they have pretty decent stuff for like a ridiculously low price.
