Summer Challenge- The Trip to London

After last week’s trip to London I am even more in love with my country's capital city than ever.

The shopping trip was a late birthday/end of exams treat and me and my friends loved it. We shopped till we dropped.
Starbucks breakfast on the train there. Lunch at Westfields shopping centre. Tube to Oxford Street to check out Urban Outfitters and the 4 storey beast of a Topshop. Then a red double decker bus to dinner at Carluccio's Italian restaurant in St Pancras station before getting the train from Kings Cross (unfortunately there was no Platform 9 and ¾ though because it was under construction and being the Harry Potter nerd that I am I was devastated) back to Newcastle which seemed so drab and quiet when we got back at 1am in comparison to the vibrancy of London.

The must have Percy Pigs- vital for every train journey. Many thanks to Emma for supplying these bad boys!

The predictable cup of Starbucks for the train as well. Mine was a Caramel Macciato, in case you were wondering.

WESTFIELDS! The biggest shopping centre in Europe! With everything from Accessorize to Miu Miu, it was insane. We even got lost it was so big haha.

The really cute little ice cream parlour in Westfields. Me and Emma were very tempted to steal the pretend motor bike seats in our favourite colours.

Me looking very happy with all my shopping bags. It was a very productive shopping day with buys from: MAC, Pandora, Zara, Topshop and Urban Outfitters.

The beautiful St Pancras station. I can't wait to go back and people watch! There are so many interesting people in London, from all over the world, making it such an exciting place to be.

And for the record people in London have AMAZING fashion sense. I had so many style crushes by the end of the day.

So as you can see from our cheesey grins, we had an incredible trip.
I can't wait to go back later on in the summer holidays (fingers crossed!) and do my usual touristy photos down the Southbank and get my lovely cousins who live there to take me to my ever growing list of galleries and exhibitions.

Hope you are all having a lovely summer like me, dearies!

Lotsa blogging love,

So many things have happened since my last post!

I will let you know about them in list form, because I am sad and I love lists:

1. The summer holidays have started! So I have 7 weeks of relaxation and not having to stress or even think about exams or revising of any kind.

2. I have a fringe! Yes after having the same old centre parting for literally years I took the plunge and got it cut. Love it.

3. I got a train to London by myself which is the first time I have ever travelled on my own anywhere! I had a great time staying with my lovely cousins. We went shopping in the Topshop on Oxford Street (we made sure we went to all 3 floors of its Topshop goodness!) and also went to the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. Haha I went a bit crazy finding all the postcards of my favourite paintings.
Great start to my holidays!

In Topshop though I ended up just buying the above outfit. I tried loads of stuff on but none of it seemed quite right and I "didn't want to buy for the sake of buying" as my mother says so I just got the sunnies and dress/top thing. I did buy a killer pair of gladiator heels from New Look though. Chuffed.

I hope you are all having a fabulous summer relaxing in the sunshine!
