From the 2nd to the 5th of August
I visited London with my parents for the very first time! *Insert bad blogger
explanation to why this post is late* I had always loved London, so my parents
decided to take me there for a long weekend! Honestly, London is the most
amazing place I have ever visited in the UK. The atmosphere, the buildings, the
people and of course the shops are all amazing. Obviously I spent a few pennies
whilst there. I just couldn't resist. Who can't? So I picked up a few bits.
All aboard the Ted Baker wash bag
train. Yes, I caved in and bought the Ted Baker was bag. I absolutely love Ted
Baker. From the accessories to the clothing, everything is beautiful. I looked
all around London trying to search for the wash bag. I even got trapped into
the Tube train doors! Contain your laughter. I hurt.. very much. And finally, I
found it in the Ted Baker store in Oxford Circus.
The wash bag is a gorgeous pinky
peach colour with a lovely black bow, a rose gold square 'plaque' and
zip. It is very spacious, which is very convenient if you would like
to put alot of make up or skincare inside. The wash bag is priced at £30. I had
to convince myself, and my parents if I wanted to splurge on this
luxury item, but I am so glad I did.
So this is a big deal for me. My
first ever Mac lipstick. Now this took some convincing for my parents as they
were the ones who were purchasing it for me as a gift. £15 for a lipstick is
pretty pricey, but all of the Mac lipsticks are said to be such good quality
and they do such a beautiful range of colours. The shade of my lipstick is
'Speed Dial', which is a gorgeous quite vibrant but subtle pink. I
cannot wait to buy more.
The last few bits were from the
V&A museum. During the time we were in London, the museum were doing a
David Bowie exhibition. Unfortunately tickets were sold out and we couldn't go
in, which was a shame. We were allowed to browse in the gift shop where they
were selling many David Bowie items. I picked up two post card pictures of
Bowie himself and a picture of a couple of cut up sentences/words. If you don't
really know much about David Bowie, he wrote his songs by cutting up random
sentences and words, muddled them up and then put them together.
The V&A museum also have a
fashion exhibit showing many pieces of clothing, accessories and shoes from the
30's to the present day. The items shown were all gorgeous,
very unique and were pieces that I would wear. The fashion exhibit
also had a gift shop selling quirky items of jewellery and many different
fashion books.
Once I spotted the 'Little
Dictionary Of Fashion' by Christian Dior I was so excited and just had to buy
it. I absolutely love this book. It gives Christian Dior's personal views
towards different items of clothing/shoes/accessories and how you should style
them. There are also some illustrations included inside. The book was price at
£10 which is a little more pricier for a book, but it is worth every penny!
