Sunday, with a little A-Z.

I spent this weekend adventuring around London with three of my favourite people. Days in the big capital are usually a mad rush for me, Oxford Street meltdowns and panic Christmas buying, but this time it was a little different.

Morning walnuts;

As you guys know, I spent last weekend in London. It was such a nice weekend away and we're already planning a second, longer trip. We spent Friday night snuggled up in bed with McDonalds and TV which was perfect. Saturday morning we jumped up early, went for a Spoons breakfast (gotta be done) and travelled into London for the morning to do a bit (a lot) of shopping, haul HERE. Saturday evening we ventured down to Harry Potter Studios and it was truly magical. It was also Animal Week (just my luck!) so we got to meet a few critters including a gorgeous Fang puppy (no picture, sad face). Sundays original plan was to go back into London and visit London Zoo, but after a late night, neither of us could be bothered to travel an hour on a train so we decided to drive 20 minutes down the road and give Whipsnade a try! It wasn't as good as I thought it would be, it's SO spread out, which is excellent for the animals with big enclosures, but not so good for people who decide to wear new shoes. It's safe to say, my feet were in shreds. 

Unfortunately I didn't take many pictures on my camera, I'm not much a photographer, but I did give my iPhone a bashing and got some good Instagram snaps for you guys. 

Spent too much | Sleeping lions | Hogwarts

Off to Whipsnade | J. K. Rowling | Too many lipsticks

The London Haul

 

 Morning!

 

As you may know, I went to London over the weekend for a nice break with the Bear. Obviously you can't go to London without taking a trip down Oxford street, so here's a look at the damage I did to my bank card :)

 

(The most irritating thing when the picture bar stops coming up so I can't make this large, if anyone has a solution for this, please let me know in the comments as it always happens to me!)

 

I've been wanting some new Vans for ages so we took a trip into Schuh and I came out with some Fred Perry's. I didn't take a picture because, I'm lazy, but they're just plain black and I love them :) They're really cute. I then decided to wear them to the zoo on Sunday, that was what some people would say, a STUPID idea as my feet were ripped to shreds, to the point of me crying in the middle of the zoo, telling Bear I couldn't go on and that he should go without me.

 

3 new books. That's 12 books sat on my shelf at Bear's waiting to be read now. He tried so hard to avoid letting me in Waterstones, the poor boy, but in I went, with the intention of spending no more money (it was the last shop we went in) and came out with not 1, but 3 new books.

 

MAKE-UP. How could I resist. So I went to Selfridges and brought two new MAC lipsticks. I wanted Snob, to replace my other that went missing :( but then I saw Saint Germain, which I have in the lip glass, and decided I liked it better. Then I saw the new RiRi AND that the whole cost of the lipstick went towards an AIDS charity so that was my justification for buying those. I also brought a purple (I have never worn purple lipstick in my life) Topshop lipstick. I've never tried their cosmetics, other than nail varnish, so we'll see if this is any good! Also from Topshop I brought a lipgloss? I think it's classed as a creme, but never mind, in Cruel. Which again, is purple. What is wrong with me?!

 

Also from Selfridges, I saw the Ciate flower manicure that I have been lusting after for about a month now and obviously, to Bear's dismay, I had to have it. I will be doing a review on this when I can be bothered to take the time to do my nails nicely, so keep your eyes peeled.

 

So nuggets, as you can see, I'm an impulse buying, I have an extremely addictive personality, lipstick, nail stuff and books, and I feel sorry for my man who's house is now full of my shit. That's what you get for letting me loose on Oxford Street! Lesson learnt, eh?!
