The delights of London and Westminster university...

Okay, so I've definitely decided that Sounthampton university is the one for me, but being the beautiful, supportive friend, I went with Pip and Evie to look around Westminster. It was as last minute as an hour before we left that the decision was made for me to tag along, but it was such an amazing day! Firstly, I give my complete seal of approval for my Pippy and 'Angie' to attend there as everything was gorgeous, down-to-earth and of a high standard I know they can reach! And secondly, we had a lovely day - esp evening -  in London looking at the shops, landmarks and just being in each others company! The first shop we came across was H&M. We saw people hiking up and down oxford street with these gorgeous shopping bags which were in fact designed by Versacé to be part of the collection designed by herself for H&M! And best of all, we found out from the Evening Standard she was there earlier tha very same day!!
After this, we searched for the vintage shop Beyond Retro just off Oxford Street. Vintage isnt really a typical style i'd go for by the others love it so i wandered as they lapped up the setting! I have to admit, it was really capturising! Ive never seen real stuffed animals just purched on shelves let alone touched real fur coats! It was strange, its a distinctive feel compared to faux and Pip described it perfectly - it has a cold feel to it. Im not one of these anti-fur protesters, I just choose not to wear it. Simple really. I think i definitely would have enjoyed it a lot more if i had more money but it was a day on a budget and i know saving is gonna be more worthwhile! When I have a little disposable income, id go back for sure!
After this we stumbled upon Carnaby Street and to our complete wonderful surprise.. it was  part night! Or something like that. So there were free drinks. free photos and we met the wonderful Bombay Bicycle Club who were DJing in Ben Sherman!
This pretty picture was what we got to take at Lee for freeeeee! We sooo pretttyy!!!

So to sum up, sometimes the best times can be done on a budget and at very last minute! You may need a couple of the besties to help make the time that extra special but im just very lucky to know people like these two!!
