I never deny that every time I visit London I instantly turn into a fascinated tourist. The shops, the sights and the typical London things just get better and better. This weekend was the start of London Fashion week so I got involved in that by visiting Somerset House. I also visited 221b Bakerstreet which is the home of Sherlock Holmes.
At 221B there was a huge gift shop which was full of Sherlock related things from syringe-pens to real pipes. You could go up to the room (pay for tickets) which Mr.Holmes and Dr.Watson lived in at 221b but I didn't have time. I bought a 'Baker Street' plaque in the shop and fangirled over the Season 1, 2 & 3 DVDs and the Sherlock Cluedo.
LFW is an amazing experience, especially for bloggers. If you'd like to go then SS15 will be in September which I'd love to go to.
Have you ever been to London, if you have what's the best thing you've done there?
I bought a few things in the 'after-Christmas' sales, they're all different, random items and I'm loving them:
I fell in love with these Topshop Shoes when I first set eyes on them. I couldn't find them in black anywhere but my sister eventually managed to get hold of them for me. Although these aren't properly my size and I fit snug in them, it won't stop me wearing them. They're very glitzy and great for parties, I look forward to wearing them on holiday. I got these for £25, down from £48.
A bikini from Next is also for my holidays. It's black with white love hearts. The top came separately, but both together they are a great £10.00. Bottoms-£4, top-£6.
I got these boots from Urban Outfitters in Edinburgh and it took me so long to decide because I wasn't sure. They have a pointed toe which makes them different to the average Chelsea Boot. These were still expensive, but for their quality and practicality, they were worth it. These were £50.
Simply, two Cath Kidston candle holders (which I already have candles in). They're Christmas themed but it doesn't bother me because they are only to hold my candles. I think the design on them is lovely though and I will especially like them at Christmas time. They were a brilliant £2, down from £6.
Another bikini, this one is from Topshop and it has holiday postcards/stamps printed all over it. It was a pretty set. At £15, down from £32 I was very pleased.
Inside one of my candle holders is the Yankee Candle sampler in Bahama Breeze that I bought in a small sale (nothing too fancy) but I have been loving the smell of it. I got it for a friend's present and loved it so much that I bought one myself. I am going to buy a larger one of this when it runs out. It was £1.08.
I have never heard of this before, it is The Body Shop's Rainforest Balance mini shampoo and conditioner set that includes 3 shampoo's and a conditioner. It's suitable for my hair type, paraben free and comes with a free comb. It was down to only £3 from £10 which was a bargain. I haven't used them yet because I think they will be great for travelling.
I am glad about all the stuff that I bought and it makes me happy that I've saved over £70.
