my feelings swim to the surface

This week has been good. I drove to London on Wednesday (via Epsom to see Laura) to stay at my sister's flat for a few days. Wednesday night we went to see The Inbetweeners movie and ate Nando's. Standard. The film was really funny and I recommend it highly if you loved the television series then you'll love the film just as much.
 For what to do on Thursday and Friday I had made plans. On Thursday I decided shopping was a definite must and because I hadn't yet visited the new Lucy In Disguise store or Forever 21 so I made them the top of my list. The vintage store Lucy In Disguise now resides at 48 Lexington Street, W1F OLR, pretty close to Carnaby Street. From the outside the shop looks dazzling because it's covered with gold discs, but to be honest the inside is quite lacklustre, especially compared with the first shop that they opened. Never the less the clothes were all sooo pretty; although too expensive for me!

A dress from Lucy In Disguise's own collection.

So after a quick look in Topshop (ofc!) I walked to Forever 21, it's on Oxford Street but is pretty much opposite Bond Street Station so a bit of a walk. It was definitely worth it though! The store is huge, spread over three levels with a wide variety of clothes. I'd say it's sort of laid out like a more glam Urban Outfitters and the clothes are like Topshop but with H&M prices :D Excuse the overused saying but I was like a kid in a candy store; there were soooo many clothes that I wanted. I bought a top, a dress and a necklace (:

This is the dress I bought.


I tried this on but it made me look like 6 months pregnant, haha.

I then made the obvious trip to Primark and bought a brilliant bag and some pumpsss...


I love this bag but because it's like a rigid box bag it's not all that practical.

Yesterday I went to Somerset house to have a look at Mike Smith's Pictures of Musicians. They are sketches of musicians recording or playing live.



The Vaccines

Went to Romford today, I wore this...


This is the top I bought from Forever 21.

Off to Silverstone tomorrow for Renault World Series, my brother got free tickets and yet again I have to get up at like 6am O.o

Here's a picture of Win butler to brighten your day ;)
