Covent Garden

Wassuuupppppp

These are some photos from a great day that I had with Melissa on Saturday to celebrate her 17th birthday yaaaaay. We started off the day with going to HMV for a browse at some dvds to watch for the night and also just to have a look because I love buying dvds. Then we walked through Carnaby Street and Soho, stopping off at the usual places on the way (Monki, magazine shops, Beyond Retro) and finally making it to Covent Garden for some shopping, outfit photo taking, video recording and of course, dinner. After spending ages trying to find the perfect place to take outfit photos, we decided to have a super early dinner, or as we liked to call it 'dunch', at Benito's Hat for a massive burrito, some nachos and a limeade. It was delicious but we were both feeling disgustingly full afterwards so we decided to walk around Covent Garden some more before finally getting on the tube to Hammersmith to see Jack Whitehall! He was hilarious (obvs) and after a rather embarrassing skittles incident (note to self: do not leave your bag open with a big bag of skittles inside, precariously balancing on the edge of your chair. They will fall. We learnt that the hard way...) After the show, we made our way back to Melissa's house as I was staying over that night. We watched Pretty in Pink and Due Date, and ate lots of food as per usual. After a great weekend, I was knackered from the three and a half hours sleep we had so I was kinda sad to go home, but it was awesome nonetheless.

Ahoy there mateys

Today, I met up with Melissa for some brunch at The Breakfast Club in soho and a much needed catch up as I hadn't seen her in half term because she was doing French work experience. I'm going in June with the same company so I was looking forward to hearing about her time there and having a general chat really. Despite queueing for about an hour before we finally got seated (it's always so busy at there, especially because we went on a Sunday morning, but the food is so good that I can justify queueing for a while for it), we still had a lovely brunch of french toast with apples and cinnamon, I had a chai tea latte and Melissa had a cup of English breakfast tea. Afterwards, we wandered around Soho and went to our favourite newsagent to browse their huge selection of fashion/photography magazines. Then we made our way to Carnaby Street to go to the newly opened Monki and Cheap Monday. I was so excited to visit Monki especially, as the Selfridges concession is tiny and the selection isn't the best there; but the stand alone store is amazing. There are two amazingly decorated floors of clothes,, accessories and these little cushions of their different Monki characters. After spending ages browsing all the clothes, I decided to buy a sheer black sleeveless chiffon shirt dress for £20, but I had to buy a large because it was the last one, but I kinda like it slightly more oversized. Then we went to the normal shops on Oxford St (Topshop, H&M, Zara) and then finally said our goodbyes. It was a good day, even if I did end up spending a bit more money than I had initially planned to. Story of my life.

I got this coat from Portobello Market for £3 WHAT A BARGAIN. It was originally from Marks and Spencers St Michaels and is 100% wool. I have been wearing it non stop since I got it, and it seems to go perfectly thrown over any outfit, except maybe this one...

Anyways, I'm off now, but before I go, I would advise you to listen/watch the following song by The Vaccines, produced by none other than Albert Hammond Jr of The Strokes, what a great combo.

Losing My Mind

Bonjour!

I wore this outfit today to go to the vintage kilo sale, as mentioned in my last post, with my sister. It was so cold so I layered it up with about 5 layers in total, and I was still cold. The kilo sale was amazing, even better than usual. Normally, I buy about 2 kg of vintage clothes at the most, but I found so many gems today that when I got to the weighing counter, it came up to 3.9 kg. I really wasn't expecting to get this much at all, but in total, I got 10 items including 2 denim jackets, 3 tops, 2 skirts, 1 shirt and 2 dresses which meant that I paid about £5.80 per item. Such a bargain and I found so many amazing items which I know I will definitely be wearing in spring/summer too. But as I said before, I got 3.9 kg of clothes and my arm is absolutely killing me, my left arm feels so weak at the moment, but it was so worth it. Afterwards, my sister and I went to GBK in Spitalfields for a much needed burger feast. All in all, I had a really good day and I am so happy with my purchases. Smiles all round

My half term started yesterday, so I finally have a very needed week off school. I would love to be spending it watching films and eating lots of food, but unfortunately, I got an impossible amount of homework from school so I've decided that I'm going to be a recluse and stay in for a whole week working away. LOVE MA LYF. 

Recently, I have been listening to Summer Camp's Welcome to Condale non-stop and I suggest that you do too. Their 80s inspired melodies using samples taken from various 80s/90s films and tv shows have got me hooked. Some of my favourites are: I Want You, Ghost Train, Better Off Without You, Losing My Mind and Brian Krakow. Actually, I just love the whole album, so I suggest that you go and have a listen pronto!

I hope your half terms will be more fun than mine, hopefully I will be back to regular posting soon, so until then, I will bid you goodbye.

Pretty in Decadence

Hat from H&M

Heyyy, long time no post. Been super busy with school, but I just wanted to show you guys one of my new favourite purchases from H&M, a black felt boater hat. I'll probably wear it on Saturday when I go to the Vintage Kilo Sale in Brick Lane with my sister. I'm so excited as I have been for the last few sales and have always left with a big bag full of vintage goodies for ridiculously cheap prices (£15 per kilo of clothes), anyone who is free on Saturday and is in London, I really recommend you go, but make sure you get there early to snap up the best pieces! 

I'll be back this weekend with an outfit post so watch this space :)
