WHAT AILISH DID: best friends

Showing posts with label best friends. Show all posts

I can't believe summer is over for another year, but I am so excited for this month. I love September because all the autumn/winter clothes come into the shops, its time to move back to uni, and of course fashion week!

This week the sun came out one more time, and well aware that it could be the last of the beaut weather, my best friend Kristen and I decided to make the most of it and spent it outside.

Theres a beautiful little loch in the village we live in so we took a little walk around, climbed some trees and naturally we took lots of selfies.

I wore my current favourite skater dress from H&M, its super cute and covered in tiny little flowers, and teamed it with my converse so my tree climbing skills weren't jeopardised.

No I have not turned into a 14 year old who thinks everything is 'wicked', you'll understand why my weekend was wicked if you keep reading.

WEEK 8 OF PLACEMENT DONE. This week consisted of lots of phone calls and a few trips to deliver clothes, and ended with macaroons in the showroom. It is so so weird thinking that this time 8 weeks ago I was sitting in my room freaking out about being an intern...and now I'm 3 quarters of the way through. It's even weirder that this time in 4 weeks I'll be back home!

I got the Friday feeling a day early this week when one of my best friends Kristen came to visit for the weekend. I met her after work on Thursday and we went for dinner, had a few cocktails and ended up booking tickets to see Wicked on Friday night. Loving life! Although it felt like the weekend, it was still a school night so we headed back to the hood for a chilled night.

After what felt like the longest week it was finally, actually Friday and time to be posh girls and go to the theatre. I've loved the Wizard of Oz movie since I was little and have wanted to see Wicked since I became obsessed with the song Defying Gravity after hearing it on Glee, so it's safe to say I was excited!

The show was AMAZING, and I loved it and now I wish I could sing like the cast. Unfortunately for my flatmates, in my head I have the voice of an angel but out loud, not so much.

On Saturday we did the best thing there is do to on a Saturday - shopped! Due to my body being so used to waking up at 8am, we made it into Oxford Street for 11 and spent a good few hours there making our way through all the shops. Obviously we couldn't do this on an empty stomach, and since the sun was shining, we had some Frae frozen yoghurt which was delicious! I had Oreos and strawberry and it was so yum.

After some more shops...too many shops - we are literally the WORST influence on eachother when shopping...we came accross Ben's cookies, and ever since reading one of my favourite bloggers, the Londoners blog post about how amazing they were I had to try one... Triple chocolate of course. So good!

We wandered down Carnaby St in the sun and ended up inTrafalger Square where we sat in the amazing weather for a while. I love the sun!

Of course I couldn't have Kristen staying with me and not take her to one of my favourite discoveries...Shake Shack. Ahhhh their burgers are amazing and I won't even get started on the cheese fries and milkshakes!

I literally cannot get over how delicious the Breakfast Club is, so naturally on Sunday morning we headed to Hoxton for a feast! I had pancakes with berries, vanilla cream and mayple syrup and they were SO GOOD!

We walked through the Columbia Road flower market on the way back and it was SO pretty. There was literally every kind of flower you could ever want! Maybe not my best idea though since my hay fever has started verrrrry early... So much pollen, so many sneezes.

After chilling in the sun in Chelsea Kristen had to go home, so I met Fiona and we had some cocktails in the sun....I love weekends in London!

BEING A CITY GIRL IS TIRING. And time goes so fast. But it is so much fun!

I can't believe I have done 5 weeks of my internship and after this week I will be half way through living in London.. Crazy.

After last week's fashion week madness, I was loving life when I got a long lie before my wee shift at Topshop, and to make it better I even went to Five Guys with Chloe and had an amazing (but not as good as Shake Shack) burger before! My 2 days at Felicities went ridiculously quick and I spent most of the days doing follow up jobs from our events, aka trying to read the guestbook and decrypt peoples insane handwriting. Safe to say there were more than a few random guesses in there...Someone could actually be called Moonie though, right?

I was sooooo excited when I finished work on Friday, because I hadn't had a day off in 2 weeks AND one of my besties Julia was coming to stay for the weekend. Naturally, I had to take her to Shake Shack because they are amazing and I am obsessed. We stuffed our faces with burgers, cheesy fries and vanilla milkshakes, then were such stereotypical tourists and headed to Trafalger square where we climbed on the monument (with huge difficulty getting up/down) and tried then failed to sit on the lions. I had somehow made it 5 weeks in London without visiting the Queen, so of course we took some selfies and jumping shots in front of the palace and it was literally the funniest night! We said hey to Big Ben and the London Eye en route home before we had a bubblegum flavoured frozen daiquiri in TGIs....SO GOOD.

It was so sunny on Saturday and London looked SO PRETTY when we visited Tower Bridge and then walked all the way down to the London Dungeons, filled with Krispy Kremes! Neither of us haas been to the dungeons in London before so after a wait in the long que, we were surrounded by creepy people and funny smells and oh my god it was hilarious...defos visit if your in London! We had a cheeky look in Oxford Circus Topshop (my favourite place) then met my flatmates to get ready for a night out in Shoreditch.

Sorry for the same photo twice but just look at that sky.

I had read about The Breakfast Club on loads of blogs, so on Sunday morning when everyone was feeling a little less normal, we headed there for a feast. I demolished a peanut butter and banana milkshake, pancakes, bacon, sausages and maple syrup and it was literally amazing. I am DEFOS going back there asap. No one can visit London and not go to Selfridges, so we headed there and I picked up a few MAC goodies ooooops, then went to Victoria's Secret and fell in love with a bikini that I basically NEED (cause its definitely bikini weather) I WISH! Basically Sunday was filled with food and shopping...the best things.

Ps. This photos sums up my weekend.
