Shopping Trip: Oxford Street, London

The pictures above are ones I took on my phone while I was out shopping in London yesterday (hence the terrible quality). We caught the tube to Marble Arch and made our way down towards Oxford Circus and Regent Street and spent the whole day shopping and stopping for, much deserved, coffee breaks!

The photos below are of the things I bought that I thought I'd share with you...

Necklace - Newlook £7.99 

Bobbi Brown brush and eye liner - Selfridges - Brush  - £22, Eye Liner - £17.50

Liquid Eyeliner - Steel Ink 31

Nail Varnish - Topshop- £5

Bag full of underwear - Marks - £10

Denim skater skirt - Newlook - £14.99

So my sister got back from Australia two weeks ago. It's been really nice just going shopping, out for meals and just generally hanging out with her again. She was also kind enough to buy me the Bobbi Brown eye liner and brush, as a very early Christmas present, which I picked out, and had put on me by a make up artist, in Selfridges. I was nearly as happy with the iconic yellow Selfridges bag as I was with the beautiful make up! I had such a great day in London yesterday although the shops didn't blow me away and I would have liked to have bought more (seen as though most of these places were the UK flagship stores, they should've been a lot better). Besides a few hiccups, the company was great and I love love love the things I bought/ was given!

What do you think of my shopping?

Where's your favourite place to shop in London?

Also, I have recently been featured on A Place on the Bookshelf if you want to check out the interview. The girl behind the blog, Charl, will be featured in a guest post on my blog later this week so keep an eye out!

an adventure in London.

As I mentioned in my last post, I went to London yesterday. It was great. I always stupidly forget how big it is every time I go there though. The more I go to big cities, the more I realise that I am a bit of small town girl. I want to be more of a city girl but honestly? it seriously tired me and my friend out. I know that the more time I spend in cities the easier it will become but it is going to be a big adjustment if I ever move there. When I was in Sydney last year, the city had such a different vibe. To start with it is smaller and less populated but anyone who has been to London and braved travelling in rush hour will tell you that it is kinda like volunteering yourself to get beaten up...on a tiny train miles beneath civilised society. No I am not exaggerating. The risk of getting hit by a taxi goes up about 90% and the feeling of being crushed is frequent. Despite all of this, please do not be put off. It is exciting, vibrant and full of stunning landmarks and beautiful shops. A place that although I do not frequently visit, is everything I have ever aspired to reach.

So we headed up to take some photos, explore London a bit more thoroughly and just have a nice day out. This was our adventure in London.

I am sad to say I never got a picture of my outfit on my camera but my friend may have taken one when I wasn't looking. I wore my leopard print collar black 60's dress with leggings, ankle boots, my new baggy red cardigan and my trusty satchel. I had such a great time just strolling around the city, taking photos and exploring. I hope you like them. I love getting the chance to share my photography on here and use my DSLR for what it was intended - capturing beautiful sights.

Let me know what you think! 

A little note about tomorrow.

I have had such a busy week so far. Haven't had much time to share things with you but I am heading up to London tomorrow! Exciting. With London Fashion Week starting I am hoping to see all the fashion lovers out in the city and get some great snaps. I can't wait to just have a day to chill out, do some photography and visit some of London's most established sights. I have seen the whole Buckingham palace thing before but I have never been to Harrods.

Will be sharing my day's adventure though my photos over the weekend and will try and get a few snaps of my outfit if possible!

Also, I reached 100 followers this week. I have been waiting for this for such a long time and almost cannot believe I have finally got here. I want to have gained another 100 throughout this year - that is my mission.


Have a great Friday tomorrow :) I can't wait for mine!!
