The travel diaries: London part 5

Helloo, hello!!

It's been a while since the trip to London and going through all the photographs took me longer than expected, so the posts took some time to upload. Plus, I'm a procrastinator at times! *giggles*

Anyway, these are the photos from our last day.
After our lunch at NANDOS, that you can see here, we went to...

ABBEY ROAD

That's right babes! I am a biiiiig The Beatles fan and knowing I could cross Abbey Road just like they did was fun! The crosswalk itself is just like any other.


And I took the picture from the wrong side, but who cares?! I did it anyway!

What stood out immediately after crossing the street was the Abbey Road Studio. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to photograph the building but I felt a little emotional just imagining the music legends that crossed those doors.
We were able to visit and photograph the shop though! (Better than nothing I'd say, right?)

ABBEY ROAD SHOP




Greeting us were boards with facts dating back to the 1930's!!


And inside was pure Heaven and it takes a whole lot of self restraint not to buy the entire stock!!



CAMDEN TOWN

There's no good way for me to describe this place, not to the point to do it justice. It's a mix of traditional retailers and then some not so "conventional" stores. You'll find hundreds of phone cases for sale and to fill all your dreams and desires. And you'll find a melting pot of different cuisines inside what was once a stable. Got you curious?


It was in Camden that we had the *most amazing waffles*!!


I can't recall exactly how much was it but it was cheap and the owner even taught us a couple words in malay. 


TOWER BRIDGE

We headed to the Tower Bridge afterwards and it was sooo windy!! But there was no rain or fog, so we got a good look at it.



DINNER - CHINATOWN

Surprise, surprise... We had dinner at Chinatown, at a nice japanese restaurant. It was a cheap meal, as were all of our meals, each of us paid 7,7£, with as much tea as we wanted.


Boy oh boy, was it good. It would be so great if we had these restaurants here in Lisbon (and as affordable).
After dinner we walked to Piccadilly Circus and said our goodbyes. 



What an amazing trip. Spending a few days with these ladies was awesome and wouldn't it be great to do this every year?! Thank you for being such wonderful traveling companions!!

I can't wait for my next trip and all I'll say now is that it will be the trip of a lifetime.
Have a great week.
XOXO,

M

Universal

Being an enthusiast of all things from The Body Shop, I'm always looking forward for new products and ranges. Recently, the brand launched their Smoky Poppy line, with Turkish poppies and just in time for Valentine's day. I have featured the body lotion on this month's wishlist, but along with the line came another product. These Velvet Sticks are suitable for lips and cheeks. The colours look vivid here, but I tested them in the store and was a little disappointed. The coral one was also on my wishlist, but I found the colour to be very light on the lips.  So what did I bring? See the black one? "Black lipstick and black blush?" Naah!! The packaging is gorgeous, but I'm a sucker for black and pink. Also the poppy flower print blends in very well with the logo! Here's what's interesting: this stick is called "universal" because it works for everyone. But not everyone will get the same shade! The colour changes according to your skin's pH

Tuesday with a little Tease

Image
Enjoying my first day off from work, I went with a friend to a bakery called TEASE . It's a rock 'n' roll bakery (so they say) and in fact, the only reason I noticed it was because they were playing Guns N' Roses one night (it's open until 11pm, perfect for a snack at night). But here's the thing: although they call themselves a rock 'n' roll bakery , the inside suggests a whole different thing! The decoration is very vintagelike, the food looks delicate and yummi... Cupcakes, muffins, milkshakes and teas, toats, salads, all of this to the sound of Florence and the Machine, Friendly Fires and many others. Perfect for an afternoon with a friend or a date with your sweetheart! This time, pictures will be mainly of food but more will come, featuring the decoration and furniture! Yummi dreams, XOXO, M P.S: Any additional information about the place, click here !

5 fashion things having a job has taught me

Image
Ever since I finished college and started working, some changes have happened in my fashion life. I am the youngest member of the staff, this is my first (almost) full time job and the environment, although casual and laid back, requires a certain discretion and poise on my part. #1 Working at a school and having to deal with the parents as well as with the kids, cleavage/see-throughs/extremely short shorts and skirts are frowned upon. The first two are just rude in a school environment. As for skirts and shorts, I wear them a lot during winter (with tights!), but it becomes tricky in spring. I only wear them when it's to warm to consider anything else. Harem/aladdin pants are also acceptable. Just remember: the shorter the bottoms, the more coverage you should have on your top, going for a boat or round neck tshirt. #2 Balance your makeup. I struggled a little with this one. As much as I love black eyeliner, even when I use a super thin brush, I rarely make a thin line. This m
