London



Yesterday me, my mum, brother and boyfriend got in the car and took a road trip to London. I haven't been to London for 18 months so it was nice to be back in the capital for the day. We spent the day walking around seeing the sights that we've seen a million times before. We went to Westminster, Soho and Oxford Street. I was highly unimpressed with Forever 21, it wasn't a patch on the Dublin store but Urban Outfitters impressed me for the first time ever, some lovely pieces in there! Primark was my idea of hell on earth, I escaped as soon as possible, it was boiling in there and everyone was going crazy with baskets full of stuff. I saw one thing I wanted but I couldn't get anywhere near it! Totally uneventful in terms of shopping, didn't buy anything at all apart from a keyring to add to my collection. (I always get a keyring from nice places I go to!)

I planned my outfit around the hat as it's pretty rare I'll wear it around here! I went for shorts as I wear jeans far too often and of course my trusty Topshop boots! The scarf is my mums but I had to steal it, it's so pretty, loving the tassles and it doubles up as a nice shawl for when it gets chilly on the way home!

Shorts : Primark
Boots : Topshop
Scarf : Primark
Jacket : New Look
Jumper : M&S
Hat : Dorothy Perkins
Necklace : Topman
Bag : Mischa Barton @ ASOS

I've been naughty and ordered a few things online recently but I'm sending them all back tomorrow! How upsetting! I ordered a dress from boohoo, decided it wasn't my colour and ordered another I found which doesn't fit so I'm getting that in a size 10 instead. I had a moment of thinking I was thinner than I am clearly haha! I also ordered a black maxi skirt but I can't decide whether to keep it. I love it but it's pretty fitter and the problem is always VPL!! Disaster! Fat pants anyone?!

Right I've rambled on enough now (the football is on so I'm killing time until it goes off!!) so I'll love you and leave you!

Have a nice week. xoxox

  2. Great post.. random drives/trips are always the best.. however London isn't a place i'd drive around. I;d get so lost.lol
    Great outfit! Love the hat! :)
    Is the only thing about ordering online, not knowing sizes well, as all styles are different.. but then sometimes I hate going into town to shop.. :(
