Christmas lights in London

I love Christmas and I love London, therefore I was super excited to get into the festive spirit and go and see the Christmas lights.

We got the train into Baker Street and then walked down Marylebone HighStreet looking in awe at all the posh shops and restaurants (wishing we could afford to visit!!). The lights here were simple, and cute. However we did get to visit the Conran Shop, which is one of my favourites stores on this high street simply because it sells such random things! We went straight upstairs to the Christmas Market which was a selection of cute huts with Christmassy bits and bobs inside and also real Christmas trees. The highlight was the snowman sitting at the Christmas dinner table!

Marylebone High Street ends up at the top of St Christophers Place, which is the cutest little street with lots of unique restaurants and shops, ending with a nice square with restaurants such as Carluccio's on it and Apostrophe.

After going down a narrow alleyway you end up on busy Oxford Street. Its hard to get a good picture as its so busy, but we headed towards Selfridges where we went to the Christmas Emporium on the top floor which was amazing!

Next we wandered down to New Bond Street and saw their lights which was super cute and like feathers, then ending up on Regents Street. The lights this year are sponsored by the new Night At The Museum film.

Just of Regents Street is Carnaby Street which had some cool headphone lights this year. Just off Carnaby Street is a little square called Kingly Court which has some unique, boutique stores and restaurants.

We then walked back to Baker Street stopping off at Langham Place church and the BBC Headquarters. These have been recently renovated and looked amazing. I would love to go for a tour of the BBC one day.

How amazing is London at Christmas. Next I need to visit South Bank and all the lights along the Thames! xoxo

Spring Wardrobe - Forever 21 & Topshop

So yesterday was officially the first day of spring so I have decided to share with you my recent purchases to brighten up my wardrobe and bring some colour to my outfits.

Last week myself and a friend headed to Oxford Street in the sunshine! We started in Topshop and walked down Oxford Street ending at Forever 21.

I have a love hate relationship with Forever 21. Sometimes I go and come out with nothing, or something I go and come out with an array of new clothes. Luckily this time was a success, and I was completely in love with everything in the shop! I knew it was going to be as success as soon as I walked in and picked up the aztec crop top below instantly!

Aztec Crop Top - Forever 21 - £5.50
Cream crop top - Forever 21 - £8.75
Set 3 scrunchies - Forever 21 - £1

My favourite item was the neon green skirt, it is made of a strange material and has a skater skirt feel to it, but also body con too! It was only £10.50 a complete bargain! Perfect to wear on a night out with a crop top and heels. When the weather gets hotter in the summer the skirt will be ideal with a beautiful necklace and some sandals.

I also treated myself to two flower necklaces, ideal for Spring/Summer 2014. The necklaces in forever 21 are excellent value and their collection was amazing, there was lots to choose from and I wanted them all! I cannot wait to go back to pick up some more! I think I have a slight addiction to costume jewellery!

Forever 21 - £8.40

Forever 21 - £11.65

Finally from Forever 21 I also bough a plain cream crop top (picture can be seen at the top), this is a very versatile item and will look great with a chunky necklace and some shorts in the summer, or some jeans when its cooler.

From Topshop I treated myself to a pair of light blue 'Joni' jeans. I think Topshop make the best jeans around, and they always fit me perfectly. The Joni jeans were no exception and are the perfect highwaisted skinny jeans.I think the light denim is perfect for spring. They look great with the pineapple top (from Forever 21) tucked into them, with some ballet pumps.

Topshop - Joni Jeans £36

Forever 21 - £7.25

I also bought a white basic crop top from Topshop. I recently bought some short denim dungarees off eBay and think the white crop top will be perfect to wear underneath the dungarees in the summer with a pair of converse!

Topshop - £10

I think these perchases will be perfect in the sunshine and I cannot wait for the sun to come back out so I can wear them! Where have you been shopping recently and what was your favourite purchase?

Happy sunny shopping! xoxo
