Well that was interesting...

It has been just a little over a week but my oh my how things have changed. Where to begin? Well, right now I'm sitting in a Travelodge in London. And I'm not here to visit. I live in London now.

As you may know, I went to London  a couple of weeks ago for a day trip. The reason for this was that I had a job interview. Which last Tuesday I found out that I got! Yay! And it started on the following Monday....wow!

So since then, I packed up, chucked everything including Woy (my car) into my parents garage and set off for the capital. Yes that's right, I've moved in less than a week to a city where I have nowhere to live and I know no one! Scaaary.

I started work yesterday and have found somewhere to move to in a couple of weeks. Plus, the bf will be joining me when our flat becomes available. So for now, I'm alone in a Travelodge, ha ha. Not bad at all really, just finding things for my tea is a challenge. What can you do with a kettle? I currently have a bag of noodle pots. Those may get old quick. Any other ideas?

Plus, I just realised I'm here alone at the weekend. Londoners: where's decent to go in the city? I might have a wander. 

Hope everyone's enjoying the lovely weather! Ignoring the spots of rain of course :)

Outfit Post: Graduation Day

Not mine, but finally my boyfriends. 4 years of being together and it's taken him 5 years to get through uni. He got a 2:1 and I am so proud of him. 

Since it was ridiculously hot that day I had to wear something smart but weather appropriate.

Old Spitalfields Market & Brick Lane: London PART 2

Another London ambition fulfilled! The next stop on my London day trip was Old Spitalfields Market. I will admit, this was the first time in the day where I got a little lost. I don't think I've ever walked up and down the same street three or four times in quick succession while holding my iPhone with Google maps open. I found it eventually though.

I'll definitely be going back one day. 

Next up, the final part of my London day trip which was Covent Garden and Neal's Yard.

What's your favourite place in London or if you've never been, where would you most like to visit?

Top picks: Week 42

I'm especially lusting after these popcorn pyjamas and Coast dress which is currently in the sale. I have a wedding to go to next month which I've just purchased a dress from ASOS for. So this dress is definitely the back up if that one doesn't fit! 

What's caught your eye this week?
