Into the Dressing Room

I found a few pics on my iPhone of me trying on stuff, and pics of some of my favorite finds that I had to leave behind for one reason or another. I thought I'd share them with you as a little inspirational shopping post.



Cute stuff from Dorothy Perkins. I loved their summer colors and boho items. I bought a cute pink top there but I'll show you that later.



Rad top I found in Topshop. It didn't quite fit my body though. Too bad.

I feel head over heels in love with this vintage reworked leather jacket and it was so hard for me to leave it behind. It was too heavy for me and too big, but oh my gosh how I loved it.

I tried on tons of these Ragged Priest reworked tie dye pieces but they were all either huge on me or way too small. I might try making something like this myself if I can get my hands on some dye. Any tips on where to get it? 

Cool boho bag at Miss Selfridge.

Here's me enjoying my favorite Honey Peach bubble tea in China Town. I already miss it.

Back from London

I just spent 4 days this week exploring/shopping in London with my wonderful fiancé. The trip was a gift from him to celebrate our 6-year anniversary, and since we both love London it was the perfect setting for the day. We went to new exciting places and revisited the ones we know and love. One thing that really annoyed me though was people telling me I wasn't allowed to take pictures whenever I pulled out my camera. It happened all the time, even outside shops. It seems really wrong to me. Anyway, I can't wait to share pics of my loot with you guys! Here's a few photos to start you off  from our first day there.

The color blocking trend was everywhere in London. I even bought a few things myself to brighten up my wardrobe. 


Cute fringy boho bags in Accessorize. 

 
Draped hair in the Royal Opera House. Quite stunning when you see it in real life.






Very nice toystore owner that I just had to photograph. His store was really wonderful and quirky.




Vintage jewelry and china at Covent Garden. 



Yummy cakes at the Primrose Bakery. The girls there were really nice and let me take as many photos as I liked. 



 Cute little cupcake soaps that had delightful scents. I bought a bunch to put on my desk.
