oh dear me.

Hello! So as you all know, I recently lost my camera lead which means my posts have lacked any interest what so ever. I ordered a new one off Amazon, and have been eagerly awaiting it all week, so you can imagine my excitement when it was delivered yesterday. I ran off to grab my camera and my laptop, took the lead out, went to plug it in and oh.. it's the wrong lead. HOW TYPICAL! So I had a bit of a sulk after this, and threw my camera back in it's bag, but I realised that it wasn't sitting right, and what was possibly blocking it's way? Only the lead that has been missing for two weeks now. I am literally so ditzy and stupid at times! Anyway, this does however mean that I can share with you a few images from London & show you some bits that I've bought!
So there we have it; my favourite pictures from my trip to London. Now, I did purchase a few bits whilst I was there, so I figured I'd add them to here too!
Now most of you should know by now that I totally love Primark. I'm no snob, and I'm so not ashamed of liking it! I love that I literally ALWAYS find something in there, and I love that they cater for everyone. They always have things that are bang-on trend, and I find that they do 'rip-offs' of more expensive brands, which I absolutely love! Not just this, but I find that you can grab things for half the price of anywhere else, and if you're as clumsy as me and always dropping things, it doesn't really matter if it was a cheap item! Anyway, I picked up this coat in the sale. It was £15 from £30. I love the colour-- it was my staple colour of 2012, and it's definitely carried over to this year too. I love how up to date the contrasting shoulder patches are too. I also picked up this top for £10. I love this colour- is it cobalt? I think it's such a lovely colour, and I don't own any other things in it, but I thought that I would give it a go. I really like the pattern on it too- very tribal! Not sure what to wear it with though, so let me know any ideas!
Okay, so I've never heard of this shop before, but it was on Carnaby Street and it's called Monki. I don't know what made me go in, but I'm so glad I did! Everything was on sale, literally it was the craziest sale I've ever been to. Firsty there are the teal trousers. I've wanted some trousers for a while now, but I've never found any that compliment my shape, until these! The colour caught my eye firstly, and then I felt the material and they are perfect- soft but stretchy. I think originally they were £30, but I got them for £11, which I think is a bargain! Then there are the leggings which went down from £20-something to £10. Another bargain. And then the tops; the left was £5 and the right was £3 both from £18. I literally haven't taken the white one off this week, it is the most comfy thing I've ever purchased!
These were all from Forever 21. Now, I really do love that shop, and I'm gutted that we don't have one closer to me. It's such a pretty shop and they sell the most beautiful clothes! Anyway, I didn't realise until I got to the till that all sale items were a further 50% off on that day! So I thought that I already had bargains until the lady told me this and I was so happy! haha. The peach blazer with the sequin sleeves caught my eye as soon as I walked into the shop. I was lucky as there was only one left in my size. It was £13 in the sale, which meant that it was £6.50! wow. The red dress is so cute that I couldn't leave without it! and then there is also the leopard blouse that I got. The material is also just so delicate, and I like how different it is to anything I've ever seen. I think this was full priced, but still not a bad £18! Then the little top next to it ended up being £3! You really wouldn't believe it! I've wanted a sequin top for a long while now, and I liked how chic this looks. It's so delicate that it could be worn with a vast amount of things, so I'm very happy with that! hehe. These earrings came in at a mere £3 each, so you can't complain there either!
so there we have it; my time in London!
I'm going out for a meal now, so I'd better go and get ready! ;)
