London- Thursday 27th June

Although Wednesday was probably our busiest day in London, Thursday was still pretty tiring- but we battled on, of course. 

We started our day off by catching the tube to St. Paul's. We had a nosey around the outside of the cathedral- which is beautiful, and then headed towards South Bank. 

Next stop- Tate Modern!

After the Tate we then went (across the wrong bridge and had to go across another bridge further down when we'd realised) along by the London Eye where we had a lovely time seeing all the street performers.

We then headed towards The Houses of Parliament and on to Buckingham Palace!

After having a very tourist-y day we decided to head back to the tube. We then went to a graduate art show in the evening, just off Brick Lane, which had work from students from various universities around England- it was fabulous to look at the different forms of art and especially for M who is taking a foundation art degree. We also had a lovely evening meal at a Thai restaurant with B's Uncle and partner, the best aspect of them living in London is that they took us to see the sights of London that not many tourists do get to experience and it is incredible, just seeing the every day London life, it makes us want to move here so much more! 

Today's post is pretty much self explanatory- hence the large amount of photos! We pretty much had a sight seeing day and we loved it- you have to be a tourist in London at some point don't you?!

We hope you enjoyed today's post- sorry it's a few days later than anticipated!

What do you guys think to today's post? Have you been to any of these places? We'd love to hear from you!

Till next time

London- Wednesday 26th June

Wednesday was probably our busiest day of last week- we spent the most time on the tube that day!

First off we visited Notting Hill- I've been wanting to visit there ever since I watched the film a few years ago! (M) and it's safe to say I am completely and utterly envious of anyone who lives there. It's beautiful. 

We mainly just went along Portobello Road and had a look at the stalls and shops- unfortunately we didn't see the blue door from the film but maybe next time! (for those who haven't seen Notting Hill- it'd be a great investment!) 

 

Our next stop was Camden Market! Whenever people travel to London they always mention Camden, and so we felt like it would be compulsory for us to go to see what all the hype is about! We loved it. The market itself is massive and there were so many stalls selling all sorts of weird and wonderful things! We didn't really buy much from there- although B bought a ring- but it really is nice to just browse. 

Word of advice though- try not to make too much eye contact with the stall owners because they persistently try to sell you their products! 

Our next stop was Leicester Square! We didn't do much here but we did visit M&M world- there was literally 4 floors of M&M products, strange but great! We both bought some M&Ms for our younger siblings but do be wary when you do a 'pick and mix'. The idea of picking your own colour M&Ms is great but it can soon add up if you accidentally pour too much into your bags! 

We then had a quick visit to Covent Garden. We didn't properly look around because by this time we were definitely ready for our teas! We ended up going to Nandos, naturally. 

Our last stop of the day was Soho! Like Covent Garden we didn't particularly spend much time here- we were ready for going home- but like the rest of the places we visited, we really liked it and we wouldn't mind going back next time for a drink!

We both really loved Wednesday as we got to visit so many places! It was tiring but most definitely worth it. 

Have any of you guys visited some of the places we did on Wednesday? If so what do you think to them? If not, where would you like to visit?

We'd love to hear from you!

Till next time,

Love

London- Tuesday 25th June

So Tuesday was our first full day in London. There were so many things we wanted to do in our week that we thought it would be easiest to plan our days whereby the places we visited were close by to one another so that we could cut wasted time through travelling.

(compulsory quick selfie before we left- B on the left, M on the right)

First stop- Natural History museum!

So we know it may not be deemed to be the coolest thing that two 18 year olds could do, but we thought why not?! (And M really wanted to see the dinosaurs). 

We didn't spend too long in the Museum- our main aim really was just to visit the dinosaurs. The Museum is great though and we'd recommend it to anyone interested in Natural history- and with free entry you can't go wrong!

When we had finished our visit around that particular exhibit, we headed to our next stop- Hyde Park!

We couldn't have picked a better day for visiting here as the weather was beautiful! Hyde Park is such a lovely place to visit so we decided we'd have a wander round and find somewhere to have a bit of lunch.

The place we found was called The Lido Bar and Cafe and it overlooked the Serpentine. We both had pizza and it was lovely. 

We also stopped for a quick ice cream whilst in Hyde Park and then headed to Oxford Street.

 

We had a quick look around the shops- we couldn't believe how big Topshop and Primark were!- but then we had to get a tube back to B's uncle's as his students had an end of year art show (which was actually very good). 

Although we would have like to have spent longer checking out the shops, we'll definitely be going back so we'll be able to have a proper look next time! 

Sorry for the late post again guys but we hope you enjoyed our quick update!

Have you ever been to the places we visited Tuesday? If so did you like them? 

We'd love to hear from you!

Till next time,

Love

Our Week in Photos 3

Hi guys!

So this week we've not been up to much, just revision- again!- but that's been made so much more bearable by the BEAUTIFUL weather we've been having these past few days- lets hope it stays!

 This week we tried doing a daisy pattern on one of our nails- it went pretty well! We've also posted a tutorial for it so make sure you check it out! (We'll link it below)

We've also been loving Yankee candles- they smell so good!

B also finally got an Urban Decay Naked palette 1 after giving in due to the fabulous reviews. There might even be a little review on it at some point! 

We also love last week's iTunes free single of the week- it's called Fall At Your Feet by Saint Raymond and we used it in our nail tutorial so make sure you have a listen! 

On the top right is an Activia intensely creamy strawberry yogurt with a sliced strawberry- try it, you won't regret it, so tasty!

And the bottom two photographs are just what we've been loving to wear this week! Stripey tops are definitely a must for summer!

Have you been up to much in the sun this week? What are loving this week?

 Also keep an eye out for our May favourites coming soon!

Till next time,
