London baby!

Arrived in London on Monday. I'm still homeless so I thought I would go take advantage of my brothers living in London. I think London is absolutely fabulous! I could easily live here. There is always so much happening, lots of people, can meet someone new everyday, easy to find your way around, could easily walk everywhere, great restaurants and so much to do. I lived in London for 6 weeks in 2008 working for a bit and loved it then too but this time when I was there, I just really got the feeling that I could easily live there full time! As soon as I got off the bus, I wanted to take pictures of the busy happening city :


The Underground :


Went shopping at the CrAzY store, Primark, which has CrAzY cheap prices, which make the customers go CrAzY as well! People are like rats going crazy in a cheese factory. I sort of picture the models on top model fighting for the best clothes in order to stay in the competition. The cue to get in to the changing room was about 30m long so people are just changing in front of the mirrors around the store. People grabbed a big basket on their way in to put their clothes in while shopping. I found a cute Jean jacket and I took two sizes to try on in front of the mirror. While trying on one size, my brother called and while talking, this girl who clearly saw that I was trying on the two jackets just comes up and grabs the other one that I don't have on. Luckily for her I was wearing the size I wanted. Anyway, I gained a Jean jacket, a suit jacket and a leather jacket, which will be great to try and fit in my one 20kg suitcase that I am allowed to bring to Australia but I just couldn't resist.


CrAzY Primark





Hundreds of people sitting outside Primark to rest after their crazy shopping sprees.


I also of course had to visit the fabulous Harrods but this time only for admiration.


I met up with M, who is marrying
my brother! to try on wedding dresses. First time ever, so much fun! Champagne was served, lots of ooos and ahhhhs and other forms of admiration. After trying on about 8 beautiful gowns, we narrowed it down to 3. I always thought "what is the point in spending so much money on a dress for one day? I'll just buy a simple white dress. I might even have one in my closet." but after seeing these beautiful gowns and M looking like a princess, I am definitely tempted to change my mind.






I then did my annual catch-ups with awesome friends that I don't see very often! Great times! Even got the chance to catch a mother and daughter spending a little bit too much time together...



After 5 days in fantabulous London, I am off to new adventures but I will definitely be back soon :).
