CityTrip: London 2016 - part 1

Hey guys!

If you had read my last blogpost, you probably know that I just came back from London! I dreamt about it since I'm back from the last time and it was even better!

Friday, the 5th February, I received my points (who where a little deception, sadly) and then I was preparing me to go with a good friend to London!

We took a train to Bruxelles-Midi in the morning (round 11 AM) and arrived there more than an hour in advance... Luckily! Enough time to check all our social media, to pass all those checks, .. And then, on the train to the city of Dreams!
When we arrived, we took the tube to our lovely hotel (near the Tower Bridge) but we accidently took the one to the London Bridge so we had to walk the whole Queen's Walk with our bagages..

Hard walk and happy to arrive finally at our hotel! Because we took a lot of time to get there, we just dropped our bagages, admired our hotelroom and get immediatly back outside.

We began to visite The Queen's walk (properly this time), Tower of London and Tower Bridge, Borough Market, Shakespeare's Globe, Millenium Bridge, Tate Modern and St Pauls Cathedrale.

Borough Market was really cute, like a little intern Market with a lot of food, so we stopped and eat something (we weren't really hungry but we wanted to try a lot of English or weird things)

After that we visited Tate Modern, what I really wanted to do since the last time because a lot of people talked about it and it seem to be awesome. And really, this was probably one of the hightlights of the trip, I was like a little child receiving presents from Santa! It was so wonderful, so magic ... I didn't even knew I liked Modern Art that much.

 

 After that, we took the bus to Aldwych, the place to be for Musicals becauseeee we were going to watch Mamma Miaaaa! We had to be there before 19.45 for our tickets, so we took our tickets and went to Covent Garden till the begin of the Musical.

Covent Garden was dynamic like every night: artists in the hall, shoppings still open, cute little shops in Covent, Apple store still alive,... We found a little cute shops who sell a lot of tea's and hot chocolate. I thought I would buy the whole store!

 
After our little tour here, we went back to the Novello Theatre for the musical. Sadly, we weren't alowed to take pictures there. It was so lovely and good, if all musicals where like that, well, I'll went more to it!

After the musical, we had to went back to our hotel by taking bus 15 but we had like the feeling that we were waiting that bus FOR EVER, but after an halfhour (yes, normally they're there every 5 min, but not that day) he finally cames and we went finally back to our hotel. It was a hard day but already full of memories, full of laughs and good moments!

 Do you want to know what happened the day after? Stay tuned because part 2 is coming soon!

What did you think about it ? I hope you liked it! x

Love of Lou!

CITY TRIP: London! ( London haul & photography)

Hellowww Guys!

Today I'm making a haul about everything I bought in London.

I bought more than I do normally, but yeah it was London!

 

I bought some socks in London: 3 Pairs in the Topshop (And also that white pair twice for a friend, little present). They are little socks with lace. I had seen a lot of girls with it in London and I found it so cute and girly. I've searched in some shops and finally found them in the Topshop. I like it really! It gives that little touch extra on every outfit you wear.

Then, I bought those two books. Like I said in a previous post, I LOVED "The fault in our stars" of John Green. So I decided in London to find other books from him and those were my two favourite ones. I bought them for only 12 £ in a shop near the "Fortum & Mason". Now, I just have to found time to read them.

When you went to the M&M's world, you always have to bought something there. I've made some pink (my favourite color) mix with the M&M's and bought a Magnets set together with my sisters. I found it funny and hope I will find a nice little place for them in my room.

One of the things I really really REALLY wanted to buy in London was something of the "Tanya Burr Cosmetics". First Superdrug store (in Candem Town) I entered they didn't have it, and I was so sad. Next day, I found a second Superdrug Store and found my happiness! I've directly tested it and I'm proud of it. It was still on my nails after a week, without using a topcoat on it (I forgot that). If you wanted to buy a nice and cheap nailpolish, try this one! It's wonderful.

I've entered in the craziest shop ever, Cyberdog. If you go to Candem Town, just take a look. I liked it! And there I found something nice to wear on a party or a festival: Hair chalk. It's a pink color. You color your hair with that, it holds one day and after a shower, you're hair is back his natural color. I haven't test it already but it is still so fancy!

I bought also (in little shops in the street) a pair of socks with the "Union Jack" , a pen and a key ring of a typical cell phone from London. And also a handbag with the union Jack. My mom brought me the previous time she went to London a wallet with the same print so I saw this bag for onlmy 2£ and don't had the courage to let him hanging there alone :D

My mother bought these two hot drinks, I found the boxes of it so nice. The first one is a hot chocolate with Caramel flavour. We bought it in Harrods. And the second box is a tea with Ginger flavour coming from the Fortum & Mason.

My favourite thing I bought in London: My pink New Balance! When I saw them and test them, I fell in love with it! I've wear them the next two days and they were super comfortable! They are so lovely! I also bought a shirt in the Hard Rock Café. It's noit the classic one because I already have one from New York. But I found this one having something nice.

In a street shop from Candem Town, I bought this awesome Starbucks Coffee crop top. It's a little bit too big but I like it like that! It is so comfortable. I also bought some tape laces for my Doc Martens. I hope they will make my Docs a little bit girlier :p I found also a little pocket to set my credit cards in it with "Kepp calm & Go shopping". It is handy and funny. And the last thing on the picture above is a Fresh breath spray of the "Marks & Spencer". We don't have that in Belgium (I never saw it), it's like in the movies. I found it something you have to have in your handbag.

Finally, I've taken loads of pictures in London and I want to show you my favourite ones. I hope you will like it. Enjoy!
