OOTD - Ahoy There ...

Firstly I'd like to apologise for the dodge pictures ... taken at the bf's where space is very limited. I had to stand on the bed (lime green bed covers, hello!) as there isn't enough floorspace for both of us! We need to move out right!? There's also some weird facial expressions/mouth positions going on up there, ha.

Sunday night i went to see The Blackout at the Roundhouse in Camden. Love The Blackout - this was probably the 6th time I've seen them :)

As you'll see above this is the outfit i wore that evening. Been dying to where these tights for absolutely ageeeees! I first saw them here on Aly's blog and went on a desperate hunt to own them. Unfortunately my local Primark didn't stock them :( but thanks to the power of Twitter the amazing Leanne picked me up a pair and brought them with her to our London blogging meet back in August. Yes, its taken me that long to find an occasion to wear them!

I teamed the tights with my trusty denim skirt (bought from Topshop about 7 years ago!!) and an Atticus polo shirt. I also added some cosy grey knee high socks as it was pretty chilly and the tights are fairly sheer.

Had an absolute blast and on the way we got a masssive foot long subway (meatball, cheese, non-toasted on Italian herb and cheese bread and allllllll the salad!) *drool*

Upcoming gigs:

Frank Turner @ Hammersmith Apollo

Gallows (new line up!) @ XOYO

InMe @ Islington Academy

Frank Turner @ Wembley Arena

Thanks again to Leanne for picking these up for me, much appreciated :)

Its really hard to walk in a single womans shoes - thats why you sometimes need really special shoes ...

Evening all, how's your Saturday going?

This is my second diary post entry about my days off. This is what i got upto in London on Friday :)

Friday

So on Friday i had another day off with the bf and we decided to go to London. We set off late morning and headed to Leicester Square for a spot of lunch. We went to our favourite place - Chiquito's; a yummy Mexican.

To kick-start the day and because i was feeling very Carrie in Sex and the City i decided to have a Cosmopolitan cocktail...

For my starter i had potato wedges topped with chilli, cheese and sour cream and for main i had a delicious spicy chicken and rice wrap with fries - i was such a ravenous beast that by the time i thought about taking a photo i had already devoured half of the meal, oops!

After our delicious lunch me and the bf parted ways; he went off to play in a poker tournament with his friends and i hit Oxford Street for a mammoth shopping sesh!

My first stop was Topshop as i was lusting after these fab jeans and was desperate to try them on. Unfortunately me and Topshop do not get on very well and i had a horrid shopping experience. It was mega hot and busy (this was expected), i eventually found the jeans and went to try them on. Upon entering the fitting rooms a foul smell hit me, i figured it was smelly feet and bodies mixed together but when i eventually found a free fitting room the reason for the smell appeared - someone had wee'd in the changing room! Can you even believe this!? (sorry if you didnt want to know this but i had to share my disgust!) Ewww! The disastrous shopping trip did not stop there, the jeans made me look short and stumpy :( and then the sales assistants completely ignored anyone trying to leave the fitting rooms so i literally dumped the jeans and tag and ran for my life out of there!

I then headed to Primark knowing that i was guaranteed to get my shopping fix in there. I picked up a couple of dresses, 2 jumpers, a bikini, a cute feather necklace, tan fringed coin purse and these gorgeous shoes...

Cant wait to wear these during the summer months. Got a lovely petrol blue maxi dress that would look just divine with these :)

I also picked up some goodies in Boots & Superdrug - Soap & Glory's Wish Upon A Jar, 2 eyeshadows, a moisturiser, a lipstick, 3 nail polishes and a blush (reviews and pics coming soon)

I also spent some time at Trafalgar Square just sitting by the fountain and watching the world go by :)

I love London so much but have come to realise that i really love shopping in my local town as its much less busy and i can shop in peace (i have a routine where i get up early on a Sunday and do all my shopping before most people wake up - therefore grabbing all the bargains before everyone else!)

This is what i wore:

Navy and white patterned playsuit

Black long-sleeved cardi

Sheepskin gilet

Tan studded pixie boots

Tan plaited waist belt

A collection of necklaces and bangles

Me and the bf got a bit snap happy while waiting for our food to arrive:

Where are your favourite places to shop & eat? I'm a total foodie and love to eat out!
