A Sunday wouldn't be a Sunday without my photographs really so I thought i'd take the opportunity to put up some of my London photographs from my trip there last week. Compared to my normal snap happy attitude I really didn't take that many photographs (I even took my old camera!) I guess I was too busy with hitting Oxford Street and my date with the Embassy. I did treat myself to lots of yummy food; Yo Sushi for tea, a trip to The Diner in Soho for some Philly Steak [would highly recommend] and popping into The Primrose Bakery in Convent Garden. The latter was to get a super yummy lemon cupcake, I loved how it came with it's own paper doily it's those little added extras that impress me. When I went to London in August I popped into Lola's in Selfridge's, yet I think Primrose have the edge on yumminess!
One of the fun parts was getting to go shopping, working in York I get bored of seeing the same old and small shops so it was nice having that proper feeling of shopping in a city especially having a wander around Primark no matter how crazy that place always is. I totally splashed out on nail varnish getting some Models Own - spending the last bit of my money on my boots card and getting 3 for 2 on China Glaze in Sallys. I had to grab the American vibe by popping into Forever 21, I do really like that shop, some of the clothes are hit and miss but they are top on jewellery, luckily there's one near Joe so I can't wait to properly check it out.
This week sees the organisation and move getting into full swing, at least that is the plan. First stop getting some things posted out to the boy - things like books and little bits and pieces and then into the more boring but practical stuff like sorting my banking out - where to start with that i'm not really sure. But more excitedly - only two weeks left at work and a date for the wedding!
Such pretty stuffs you got for yourself! That sushi picture is making me drool all over my lappytop! I like F21, but now, I think i'm a little smarter about shopping there. They have so many cheap things, that you don't feel like you're spending too much, but it all adds up!

that lemon cupcake looks so lovely! i love forever 21, when I went to boston I spent way to much money in there! hope everything goes well for you x
ReplyDeleteOMG Laura that sushi was so good! Came with salad too, could of eaten loads more! I do like Forever21, some of the clothes a bit iffy though, maybe its the American style coming through that we aren't use to the UK but their prices are really good I think! I love the jewellery though!
ReplyDeleteThe cupcake Julia was divine, was so big and yummy. I would def recommend a visit there, I really really want their cookbook but its only in hardback and too heavy to ship to America!
That cupcake looks amazing, nearly drooled on my laptop (what a beautiful image for a Sunday afternoon)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - cupcake looks delicious!

ReplyDeleteHaha Sinead, I could probably do loads but I have a fear of boring people about it, plus the boy's organising most of it too!
I love looking at all the jewellery in forever 21! My favourite place for cupcakes in London is the hummingbird bakery, I seem to be on a bit of a mission to try them all though! x
