how can one place be so perfect

So the folks have decided to go ahead and ship me off to London town in the winter holidays for a bit of pre-christmas shopping for myself, though i'm kind of doubting it's for me and it's really to run around like a headless chicken to buy christmas presents for them, what lovin' parents (that's how teanie weanie this rock of mine and 93,999 people is...no urban outfitters, no sufficient enough topshop/topman, a corner of a shop that belongs to all saints, no abercrombie, no jack wills and not even the fundemental primark (bit iffy on primark - slave labour and all that shizz: yes, yes i am a "help the world and environment" freak. The best we can do is the brand spankin' new Hollands and Barrats shop which, suprisingly does scrumptalitious snacks)

So anyways, i shall be staying with my two big sissies ("sisters" for all those not up to date slang peeps) and they'll wift me off to Kings Road, Oxford Street and a splash of Picadilly Circus. Was recently was told about the "true vintage clothing" shop ROKIT and shall be exploring that, not forgetting unique vintage stores and the occasional charity shop splodged around the city. No way are museums getting into this itinerary, enough of them trekked around with the parents.
Cutting to the chase, im'a do a bit of preparing and post some snaps of around the city; all time favourite place, popular places and sites that I have dreams about ect... so here it goes...

 Urban Outfitters London style.




 not complete without a bit of the good ol' siteseeing.



                    britain: no more a stereotypical full of posh people, tea drinking nation 
(currently "a chav town", but a creative and relaxing
ambience - the inner britain.
(wishing this could be for duuudddeees though - jealous)


lomography isn't just something that should be in your life,
it should be part of your life.
 why you should love london: find something new everyday
in the most perculiar of places.


heard quite a lot about this place and read so much, thus now its has become
a dream, but soon it'll becomes reality (hopefully!)
Spitalfields Definition number 1: you may have heard this name before from the rather expensive 
clothes chain - All Saints- current clothing line (the cost however, does not eliminate the love
I and probably many others have for it.)
Spitalfields Definition number 2: a market full of "stuff", mainly "stuff" that fit into the vintage
category. The market can be strolled along in peace and tranquility (again the whole "finding your 
inner self" thing, yeah well...it just seems to fit in in this context) where on every side or corner
there will be unique, weird, wonderful, charity, if i were a girl i would say "cute", vintage, antique shops.
spending a day here will be kept in your mind as a memoir...


It's about time to wrap up this post, apologies for the blabbling on and on!
catch y'all laters!

time for knits and boots...

It’s that time of year when the cold gets people in a dull and simply a “cba” mood, however to me, the cold is pretty darn the best thing of the year, especially those frosty blue sky days. How can you not enjoy strolling around on country lanes or by the sea walls wearing an over-sized jumper and poppin’ your ipod in, letting all your troubles go to find your “inner self” (don’t get the impression I’m some kind of meditating/karma peep.)…peacefull success.
Military boots have come into trend in the last year and this year they have become exeedingly popular with women and also men. I have a pair, washed brown, though I actually kind of regret buying them because now I’m more for Doc.Martens or Brogue Boots? DARN CHUNKS. Oh well, suppose I just got to wait until they can be afforded, bummmerrrrrr…
I also recently bought a jumper on my journey to the local charity shops, a navy blue grandad jumper, nice ad snuggly warmness, then a couple of weeks ago I was snooping around my parents wardrobes to see if they had any casual homeware jumpers, yet instead…heaven was discovered. Burberry vintage cable knits were among the many jumpers found of different colour varietys (green, cream, blue, red). Winter Wardrobe…TICK.





a bit of urban outfitters renewal
gotta’ love!
 the sort of jumper i fortunately found lying around the house…
 pretty darn fond of these...


yes please! but a bit off my budget being at the price of £115. 


the ones i bought a couple of weeks ago,
was proud of ‘em things (military boots),
now my minds say “meh” should of got brogue boots.
bargain though for boots! at only £48 (luckily it was 25% off everything day at
Burtons.)
