These pictures are a bit all over the place, but as you can probably tell, I went to London this weekend. On the first day there I went to Camden Market and had lunch and purchased some stuff for myself and my friends birthday. It was horrendously busy, and full of tourists and obey hats, but I really enjoyed my time there. Me and my mom had lunch by the water and a funny chinese man gave us some free chips. Camden is a great place to photograph because of the vibrancy and colour, loads of signage, typography and little trinkets. But its also awkward as most stall holders don't want you taking pictures of their stuff, and I shouted at a few times.  
Day 2 consisted of Spitalfields Market. In my opinion, there were better stalls and things to buy here, but I preferred the atmosphere of Camden. I discovered this shop that was similar to Cow Vintage, called Rokit, and I got a green Killers t-shirt for £3 which I was pretty happy with. I also bought some knitted badges of a stall in the market that I'm going to decorate my school bag with. 

Overall, I really liked London. I also went to Oxford Street for the first time and it was amazing and we went on the Emirates Skyline thingy too. All the people/waiters in restaurants/shop assistants that I spoke to were really really friendly and nice, compared to people I encounter in Birmingham where I live. I thought it was really interesting seeing all the different nationalities and fashions and people all together, and when some men were playing guitar and violin on the tube it was just cool.

LUSH&COW VINTAGE HAUL










I spent about an hour in Lush today, much to my enjoyment. The first thing I got was their Brazened Honey Face Mask, which I have on now while I'm blogging, and my face feels lovely and really warm. It claims to renew tired skin&leave you glowing, moisturised and exfoliated, so I'll guess I'll find out when I take it off. Then I have Lush's Sugar Scrub, which has a really fresh ginger&fennel smell. The assistant guy in the shop recommended it for exfoliating&brightening your skin, and getting read of any dead skin cells&rough patches (sounds beautiful right?). Stepping Stones, which is the foot shaped bar, is probably one of my favourite purchases. I don't really do much in terms of 'feet care' and theres been a foot shaped gap in my skin care routine for a while now, so this fills the hole perfectly. The last few things I got were little samples of Oatifix, which is a gorgeous porridge smelling face mask that was out of stock, and The Sacred Truth. At the till there were tiny £1 charity pots of an unlabelled body&hand creme that smelt like cocoa butter so I got that too. 

Now onto COW. I am sooo excited to finally own a perfect oversized denim jacket that I can just wear with absolutely everything. This one was £40, which I thought was pretty reasonable since its Levi, and I am absolutely in love with it.

A DUSTLAND FAIRYTALE





COW T-SHIRT
COW SKIRT
TOPSHOP SHOES
H&M HAT
PRIMARK SUNGLASSES

-THE SUN HAS APPEARED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 4 MONTHS-
I'm still not really sure if this skirt&t-shirt go together very well, but I love them. 
Yesterday me and my friend went back to Cow Vintage in Digbeth, and I bought these two items. I think the skirt was originally a men's shirt or something, but it's been reworked into this gorgeous skirt. The weather was so lovely, so I went for a more floaty look than usual, with my t-bar shoes and fedora.
