I'm sitting here thinking "should I post... I should... but I have nothing good to post... but I hate letting old posts get all dusty... I should post." And so I'm posting, if for no other reason than to say HELLO my lovelies, and I miss you all. Even though I've had access to the internet lately I still feel quite detached from you all when I don't post. Alas, I shall bore you with my going-ons because I can't stand to be away from you any longer!
To keep you filled in on my living status right now, I've left my hostel and moved into my new flat just a few days ago. I'm waiting for my room to open up (the guy who's in it now is leaving Wednesday) so in the meantime I'm staying in a smaller room in the flat that just happened to be free. I really just didn't want to stay in a hostel any longer, 12 nights is more than enough!! Not that it was a bad hostel (best I've been to, actually) but it's horrible when you have nowhere to put your things and relax at the end of the day. Plus you have basically zero privacy, and incase you couldn't tell I do enjoy my alone time (blogging is a one person activity)! Anyways, so I've left the hostel and in my temp room in my permanent flat... all that there's left to do is find a job. It's kind of driving me insane, I keep looking and looking and applying any chance I get but no luck yet! Until further notice I'll be on the job hunt and using the rest of my energy to stay far away from Topshop. As you will see, that last pursuit hasn't been going too well:
Ooooooops.
In my defence, I have visited almost all the Topshops in London and have been to the Oxford street location at least 6 times and this is all I've bought (plus one little 5 pound crop top on sale, but let's just ignore that)!
It actually feels really strange being in all these high street stores, shopping like a normal person as I have been so accustomed to pretty much only thrifting over the past few years... normal shopping just seems too easy, you know? I'm used to digging through piles of junk and sifting through rack after rack to find something good. With regular shopping it's just... there. Sitting there for you, ready to be bought in whatever size you want. IT'S TOO EASY, I tell ya!!
Anyways, excuse me while I finish off this box of tissues from my leaky faucet of a nose. This London air contains no actual air, and I think has given me some kind of throat/nose related illness. I'm hoping Hobnobs and black coffee will make it all better. Mmmmm. See ya!

I love that asymmetric top in the first picture, so cool! Easy shopping is sometimes a good thing, especially if you're on the look out for a last minute outfit for a night out or something. When I go into my local charity shops sometimes I don't see a single item I want whilst there is always at least 1 thing I'd like in the high street shops. But it is nice to dig a little deeper when it comes to shopping x
You should definitely go to Beyond Retro, on Cheshire St its just off of Brick Lane it'll give you all your vintage needs and so will Rokit which is near there but a bit more expensive...x
That asymmetric top looks rad! I can't wait to see it in an outfit.
And I know what you mean!
I feel so weird when I go shopping at any place other than thrift shops or fabric stores. I'd much rather dig for/make my clothes. I suppose that isn't practical for everyone, though.
hobnobs!!!!! they can fix anything
SOSOSO JEALOUS
dont stay away from topshop!
hahaah
and does this mean i can come visit you now!? yay! :P
moving in's so fun!! im sure your room is going to be sooo nice!! dont forget to post pictures!!
oh, that first top is beautiful. It looks a lot more expensive than topshop! Is it from the boutique collection?
I can never stay away from topshop either - the more I try the harder it is!
Lots of love Christina x
Great purchases! Can't wait to see the outfits you'll make out of these!
haha london air!!!
haha london air!!!
i think that's incredibly well restrained! i am a bit of a topshop fiend...but all will change when i move to canada in a couple of weeks! i know what you mean about how easy shopping is compared to thrifting, and i am going to try to curb my habits. i think thrifting also encourages you to try wearing things you wouldn't necessarily choose in a high street shop. could be a good or bad thing i guess, but it's nice to experiment!
HAHAAA! I FEEL YOUR PAIN! keep going! i love your blog!

Wow those basics...Are amazing! Especially the asymmetric top. I'd love to go to London one day, because the fashion there is the best. And I agree, when I go thrifting, it's more like treasure hunting...and finding a beautiful piece is so much more worth it.
stop shopping and get a job u freeloader
unless you're buying me stuff, in which case, CONTINUE
i also have a gross leaky nose :/ but i LOOOOVE everything you bought!
