london - day one.

okay, so i should be doing some work.. but my blog has been neglected and i need to post about london and show you some of the pictures that i took - here's day one!

i went with my parents, my brother and some family friends at the weekend for a mini holiday - to experience as much london stuff possible that we could fit in!

so first of all we got the train down from durham, and arrived in king's cross, i was extremely disappointed to find out that they've taken away the harry potter 9 and 3/4 platform sign thing!! haha i loved that last time i was there.

then we put our cases in the hotel, and had a walked around mayfair (that's where we were staying) - just up the road from the ritz! my first day outfit was this... leather jacket: bershka, top: topshop, skirt: new look, tights: primark, belt: vintage, necklace: muse, bracelets: primark + pandora.

then we went for a gorgeous meal in grace, and went for a wander and a shop.. we got lost first of all, then i stumbled across urban outfitters, god i love that place!!

trying to figure out where leicester square was!

i got dragged out of here :'( .. i didn't want to leave hahaaa.

then we finally went to leicester square to get some cheapish west end show tickets, we got some for blood brothers. i studied the play for my english coursework last year so i wanted to see it actually performed on stage. it was amaaaaaazing!

then we went for another little wander and came across this row of shops, i was in actual heaven. tiffany's, chanel, mcqueen, d&g, ysl ..the lot!


and, it is here where i fell in love...

with this BEAUTIFUL alexander mcqueen bag! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
we then did a little more wandering about and taking in sights before heading back to the hotel to get ready to go and see blood brothers.

here's us in the lift of the hotel heading to the phoenix theatre :)

after the show we walked the long way back to the hotel to see london at night. for a laugh, we decided to walk through soho.. we went past all the nightclubs and bars.. god there were some sights to be had there! ahahaha :') i think we were all in shock. it was so loud and lively.

my night time outfit was this... tights: h&m, skirt: primark, dress(worn as a top): triple s, jacket: zara, necklaces: topshop + muse, shoe boots: topshop.

please ignore my hideous face!
i'll upload day two and three soon! xoxoxoxo
