Summer Challenge- The Trip to London

After last week’s trip to London I am even more in love with my country's capital city than ever.

The shopping trip was a late birthday/end of exams treat and me and my friends loved it. We shopped till we dropped.
Starbucks breakfast on the train there. Lunch at Westfields shopping centre. Tube to Oxford Street to check out Urban Outfitters and the 4 storey beast of a Topshop. Then a red double decker bus to dinner at Carluccio's Italian restaurant in St Pancras station before getting the train from Kings Cross (unfortunately there was no Platform 9 and ¾ though because it was under construction and being the Harry Potter nerd that I am I was devastated) back to Newcastle which seemed so drab and quiet when we got back at 1am in comparison to the vibrancy of London.

The must have Percy Pigs- vital for every train journey. Many thanks to Emma for supplying these bad boys!

The predictable cup of Starbucks for the train as well. Mine was a Caramel Macciato, in case you were wondering.

WESTFIELDS! The biggest shopping centre in Europe! With everything from Accessorize to Miu Miu, it was insane. We even got lost it was so big haha.

The really cute little ice cream parlour in Westfields. Me and Emma were very tempted to steal the pretend motor bike seats in our favourite colours.

Me looking very happy with all my shopping bags. It was a very productive shopping day with buys from: MAC, Pandora, Zara, Topshop and Urban Outfitters.

The beautiful St Pancras station. I can't wait to go back and people watch! There are so many interesting people in London, from all over the world, making it such an exciting place to be.

And for the record people in London have AMAZING fashion sense. I had so many style crushes by the end of the day.

So as you can see from our cheesey grins, we had an incredible trip.
I can't wait to go back later on in the summer holidays (fingers crossed!) and do my usual touristy photos down the Southbank and get my lovely cousins who live there to take me to my ever growing list of galleries and exhibitions.

Hope you are all having a lovely summer like me, dearies!

Lotsa blogging love,

Memories of London

Endlich habe ich es geschafft den Ordner mit den Fotos aus London durchzusehen und meine Favoriten hochzuladen. Die Fotos  wurden im September 2009 gemacht, während eines 12-tägigen Urlaubs mit meinem Freund, meiner Cousine und ihrem Freund. Ich wollte die Fotos einfach auf meinem Blog haben, auch wenn es schon eine Weile her ist. London ist einfach eine total schöne Stadt, in der es viel zu sehen und unternehmen gibt. Ich würde gerne wieder hinfliegen um die Stadt wiederzusehen, im Hyde Park Fotos zu schießen, Apfelwein-Bier zu trinken, in Camden Town Schätze zu entdecken und natürlich um in der Oxford Street zu shoppen. 
Hier kommt also die Bilderflut (als kleine Entschädigung, dass ich in letzter Zeit kaum zum posten komme)

ENG: Finally I managed to sort and upload out my favorite pictures from London. The pictures were taken in September 2009, while spending there 12 days with my boyfriend, my cousin and her boyfriend. I just wanted to have the photos on my blog, even though they're not brand new. London is such a beautiful city, where you can see and explore so much. I would like to fly there again to see the city, shoot pictures in the Hyde Park, drink cider bear, find treasures in Camden Town and to shop in the Oxford Street.

So here is the heap of pictures (as a small compenation for not having to much time to post lately)
