Little Haul ~ London

I went to London a few weeks ago on a no-shopping sight-seeing trip only. That didn't go quite according to plan. I picked up a few bits and bobs to show you!

First is this coat from a place called "The Vintage Market" in Brick Lane. I completely fell in love with it. I wore it in this outfit post.

I nipped into Oxford street Primark and came out with this double sided tartan blanket scarf. I really like tartan clothes although my wardrobe is lacking in it. This is just so cozy!

In the markets on Brick Lane I bought these two gorgeous pieces of jewellery from a cute vintage stand. I wrote about it here. The necklace is a delicate gold coin and the ring is a midi/little finger ring.

I had a quick browse in Boots at one stage and bought Rimmels Kate Moss in no. 107. A very iconic shade and I'm a bit late to the bandwagon with it.

I also picked up the Rimmel Match perfection foundation in Light Porcelain. I can never find the right foundations to accommodate for my vampire pale skin but I've heard good things about this. Thought I'd give it a try.

And last of all is a dress which I also got in the markets. I have been on the look out for a 50s style polka dot halterneck dress for ages. This one is just gorgeous. I wore it to a Grease themed dinner party which I will post about soon.

I hope you enjoyed the post! Sorry for the absenteeism with the blog posts, I seem to have either loads of inspiration and no time or loads of time and no inspiration most of the time. I can't wait to do some Christmas DIY's!

OOTD - Weekend trip to London

 Last weekend I went to London with my mum and sister to visit my brother who is at university there as well as meeting up with other friends and doing fun tourist-y things. I am going to do several posts on the trip with a load of photographs and some advice for anyone thinking of going to London for a few days. You pack so much into 4 days!

I took these photos on the Monday outside the British Museum, the building itself is incredible!

 Moving on to the outfit. The coat I bought on Sunday while browsing though vintage shops and market stalls on Brick Lane for £20. It's from a place called the Vintage Market, which is a massive underground vintage clothes shop. I just adore it, I have been looking for a tweed coat for ages and this is just so cute! I love the low-waist and cute pockets.

 The crop top is from Topshop and the skirt is a few years old from a local shop which has now closed down.

The cardigan (Underneath the coat) is from Penneys/Primark and I wore it in this post.

I'm also wearing a cute coin necklace which I found in a vintage jewellery stall also on Brick Lane. Earrings are from Penneys/Primark.

 Nail polish is by Barry M and Lipstick is Rimmel's Kate Moss 107.

(I have also cut my hair and dyed the bottom since my last post and having short hair is SO much easier!)
