London Diaries Day 3... Part 2

After spending the morning searching for quirky pieces in Camden, we decided to move on to see the famous Abbey Road. I really did feel like the biggest tourist doing this, but it had to be done!!!


  #TOURIST FEVER





A massive thanks for the guys that were standing there all day in the cold taking photos for all the tourists queuing up!!!

London Dairies Day 2.... Part 2

#THE ICE BAR

#OOTD



Dungarees: Forever21 £27.99
Tee: Miss Selfridge £25
Necklace: Primark £8






The ice bar is literally the coolest place I've been, literally. Everything in the room was made of ice, including the glasses you drink from. It's situated just down a road behind Reagent Street, and surrounded by an abundance of restaurants and chic lively bars. The Ice bar is a must. It's £13 for 40 minutes and a free cocktail. Ok, I know 40 minutes doesn't sound a long time, but it's freezing in there and even though you're dressed in a thick quilted poncho and eskimo mitts, you are ready to leave and head to warmer territory. But definitely a great experience!

The London Diaries Day 1.... Part 2

We got back to the hotel for 4pm, ready to start getting ready for the big night out.... NYE! 

I was extremely excited to see the fireworks, as this is one of the things on my bucket list to do before I die... tick! 

The weather was horrific, cold, wet and windy, but nothing could dampen our spirits. We didn't have to wait in the masses of tourists that had flocked to Westminster at midday to get a good spot to watch the fireworks. We were going on a booze cruise down the thames... woop woop! 




                    My Outfit:                
Dress: Forever21 £25
Shoes: River Island £30

Heathers Outfit:
Dress: Miss Selfridge £35
Shoes: Topshop £55


We ended up wearing tights in the end, as it was just too cold not to, plus we couldnn';t fake tan, as the rain would have just washed it off! Better pale, than splodgy and patchy.






HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

Just dropped down in London town!

It's just been Halloween and this year, I decided to take a trip down to London to see my best friend that I used to go to uni with! I don't get to see her that often, so when I do, we make the most of it.
Me and my little Nommy back at University
This time, Naomi had so many plans for us, capturing every aspect of Halloween and bonfire night, wrapped into one glorious weekend. On the first night, we decorated her flat with pumpkin bunting, glow in the dark balloons, ghost tinsel, pumpkins and cakes.


Naomi had even made little "eye ball" cherries to put in our bloody drink (cranberry), as well as an amazing skull cake and glass cupcakes.




After decorating and munching, we began to look towards the night ahead. We were heading up to North London to a Halloween night at EGG! Despite the name, the club was really cool and played house music, with an edgy vibe to the place.
Needless to say we got in at 5am!





The next morning after croissants and tea in bed, while watching a few sneaky SATC episodes, we headed to central London for a quick look round Selfridges. The Christmas lights and trees were up, along with Christmassy feel visuals in the window. We had a quick wander around the perfume, spraying ourselves with different scents, before we stopped at Lola's for coffee and cake! Really cute with an American diner kind of feel! Not too expensive either!

We headed back to St Johns Wood, (where she lives) and quickly got ready for the evening we had ahead of us. We were all off to Ally pally for fireworks, fun and food.
It was amazing! Freezing, but amazing! We went ice skating, ate hog roasts, burgers and fries, drank hot chocolate with extra cream and mallows and snacked on churros with dippy chocolate.
The fireworks were literally the best I have ever seen. It might sound sad, but I got all dewy eyed at the finale. The music blared, baby you're a firework by Katy Perry, while thousands of people sung along, while there explosions of colour dancing across the nigh sky, while looking out onto the lights of London. It really was fantastic to be there.




definitely recommend you all go next year!

I love a man in a leather



David Beckham has turned heads this week in London when he launched the new Belstaff store and was quite at home amongst kings of the bikers.


Beckham has always had alove of bikes, but obviously he has never rode them. Such a hobby would never be allowed in the footballing world in fear of an accident or injury. But now the footy has ceased, he is free to ride them to his hearts content. 

David looked all the part... Marlon Brando-esque in his biker jacket and a definite Bonus to all the glitz and glamour of London Fashion Week.

So, not the normal blog I usually post, but who can resist that angelic face and let's face it any excuse to see Mr Beckham girls!
