The travel diaries: London part 3

Hello everyone! I hope your week is starting off just great!!
I felt really productive this sunday so I decided to share more photos of the trip to London.

These are from sunday, February 7th. We went clubbing the night before, so we left the hotel a little later and spent a couple of hours inside the British Museum. I heard it was a must go if you wanted to see some rarities from Ancient Egypt and I was not disappointed.
Besides the Egyptian exhibition, we also saw the Asian wings: China, Japan, Korea, India, etc etc.




I took a lot of photos, seriously a lot. So, what you're seeing here are just some highlights. Something to make you go to London and visit the BM (if you haven't yet).


 
After the museum, we headed to the store you see above. Although they call it "korean store", I saw a lot of products I used to buy when I lived in Macau. But mostly, it's korean. An ideal destination if you want k-pop cds/dvds and/or if you want to browse through a small section of korean makeup.


Although it was rainning (no, really? In London?), we also walked a little outside: I wanted to get a HARD ROCK tshirt as a souvenir, so we went to Hyde Park, where I took two of the pictures above.

As for the third one? Well, being a Harry Potter fan, a girl who eagerly awaited her Hogwarts acceptance letter at the age of 11, I needed to go to Kings Cross, right? There was a huge queue, too many people who, like me, wanted a picture with the sign and the car. Well, I didn't get to take one but I was sneaky enough to snap one from outside the queue as the next person in line was called to put on the scarf.
That's my tip: don't expect a picture of yourself unless you have time to spare and stand in line. Just go to the side and take it.


Well, this post was missing some food, am I right? After going to the korean store, we basically went back to the BM and had lunch at a small but so nice korean restaurant called Seoul Bakery. I'll definitely go back and I strongly reccomend it. The prices are super affordable, water is complimentary - and believe me, you'll need it - and the food is awesome. 

Dinner was fish and chips, because "when in Rome, be a roman", right? We went to Nag's Head and they also had a delicious strawberry and lime cider! The fish was great too.


And this is us, at the end of the evening. Day two was complete.
Hopefully, I'll get through the photos of day 3 by the end of the week!

Don't be a stranger, leave a comment. Were you in London recently? Did you try these restaurants? What did you do?

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
