London Trip and MY BIRTHDAY

Okay so I did not post last weekend because I was in LONDON with my family!

 It is such a beautiful city, I loved it so much. I arrived on Friday and left Sunday night so it was a bit of a rushed trip to get everything done but we did. On Friday we spent ages in Harrods. All the windows were filled with stunning Christmas displays and the Christmas shop was lovely.

They really went to a lot of effort and it truly does pay off. Each window is different and my favourite was the Ballerina trinket box because it reminded me of The Nutcracker :)

On Saturday I did all my shopping! I only shopped on Regent Street and Oxford Street, it literally took the whole day! My favourite thing I bought has to be the maroon oversized jumper I got in H&M, it's so cute and cozy. I purely bought it because I have been looking for a jumper long enough to wear with knee highs for a while and I fell in love with the jumper as soon as I saw it! 

 I ended up buying a lot of makeup in Superdrug as well. It is so sad that we don't have any over here but I love the store so much! I got the iconic one, two and three palettes from Makeup Revolution, some bronzer and blusher from MUA, the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and I bought some lipstick and lip liner in KIKO.

I bought a lot more but if I was to list everything, I would be here all day!

On Saturday evening, I went to see Big Ben in the dark. It was absolutely beautiful!

On Sunday, it was sightseeing day :) 

The first place we went to was the Tate Modern and I only went in to see Rothko's paintings. Although I did not feel any overpowering emotions when I saw the paintings, I cannot deny that they are amazing works of art!

 After the Tate we went to see the poppies which were in the process of being removed but they really were beautiful! We saw the Shard, the bridge that the death eaters attacked in Harry Potter

Towards the end of the day we made our way to Buckingham Palace and walked through St.James' Park. I don't think I have seen that many squirrels in one place ever!

I was staying in a penthouse in Vincent Square and the apartment was so pretty!

So, TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! I'm finally 17 :) 

I had a half day in school so I got out at around one which was fab!

I had a lovely dinner with the fam and my mum made me the nicest victoria sponge cake (thanks mum!). 

I got wonderful cards from my family and I am so grateful for the presents I got as well. I am having my party in a few weeks so that should be fun!

Happy Birthday to me
