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.

So I'm still loving London! Everything is so cool and different than at home. Although I had a mini disaster at the start of the week when water got spilled on my MacBook! Luckily a genius at apple saved it, so I'm able to keep blogging!



Cute view of the Shard from our accommodation!


Week 2 at Felicities done, and I've been to even more magazine head offices, they are amazing! It is pretty cool seeing where my favourite magazines are all made. Placement was super busy this week with fashion week preparations, calling lots of different magazines and websites to try and get clients featured, and dealing with loads of cool stylists borrowing clothes from our designers for super cool shoots and projects! Working every day is busy/crazy/intense. I was sooo happy to have the morning off on Wednesday to chill out before my first shift at Topshop in Canary Wharf. I was so nervous about starting but I LOVED it. Everyone was so so lovely and the store is teeny tiny and so cute compared to Bon Accord, and everything was just the same jobs as I'm used to, so it's exciting to have that to restore some normality!


Regent street still looking lovely even the pouring rain..


We swapped rooms at our accommodation in prep for our roomies Michelle and Kirsty who arrived on Wednesday night and it's so much better. I mean for a start we have bunk beds. BUNK BEDS! I have literally always always always wanted bunk beds so you can imagine my excitement. Then on Friday two of my friends from Aberdeen came down to stay for the weekend, so we spent that night at the Ice Bar. Chilly. But so much fun! Literally everything was made from ice, even the cups which we had amazing cocktails in.. Loved it!





Loving life in the ice bar.. Sorry but it is literally all made of ice, mind blown. Then on Saturday after a day of shopping till we were almost dropping at Westfield in Stratford and spending lots of vouchers, it was FINALLY time to go to the O2 to see Taylor Swift. OH MY GOD. I have no words, she was literally amazing. Her British BFF Ed Sheeran made a surprise wee appearance and it was the best thing ever! Fangirling to the MAX. Do it all over again please. We all headed out in Shoreditch after the concert and it was literally the funniest night. I don't entirely know what happened but I had so much fun and came home with all my belongings and like 100 photos, so all in all it was a successful night. 



Weeeee so much excitement.


Even more excitement. 


R E D 


OH HEY TAY! Not even zoomed in. Love life. We are practically besties now.


Basically I was already having the best night.... Then we went home and put on some  newly purchased dancing shooooooes....


Reppin my brand, head to toe Topshop


Poses with my roomies


Roomies roomies aka fab four 

 Sunday was spent exploring LDN once again, I will never get bored of all the pretty sights.  I still feel like I'm just a wee tourist here for a weekend, but no I actually LIVE IN LONDON. Crazy. 


Covent garden aka 1 of my favourite places in London


Took my beloved Mulberry out for a trip. And the Zara scarf I have literally LIVED in for months.





Just your standard tourist shots hahah.

This week has been insane and so so SO MUCH FUN (I know I've said that so much but literally...I'm having the best time) It's Monday again already so no time to stop, cause a dolla makes me holla. OH WAIT. #internproblems

I have survived my first week in London with no tube related disasters. GO ME! I don't know if the novelty if living in such a big city ever wares off, cause each day is better and better down here. 


Even in the rain LDN is too nice too look at. 

I have also survived my first week as an intern, which has consisted of running about a lot, meeting lots of new people and of course making a few cups of tea for my boss. Standard. My first ever day was complete with a visit to the Vogue offices, and as the week went on I got to visit more magazine offices like Never Under Dressed, and oh my god these places ARE SO COOL. I got to know loads of the collections from the designers who Felicities represent and made some PR calls, computer work and general little jobs! A pretty successful first week. 

I didn't realise how sleepy working full time made you, but luckily I have the bestest roomie ever so when we got home at night it is all fun and food. My faves. Living with your friend is literally the best thing, constant hilarity, especially when they are as funny as Chloe. 

Luckily I managed to get myself a transfer from Topshop in Aberdeen to the Canary Wharf store! I'm gonna be working there on Wednesday's as Felicites said I could have a day off to fit in Topshop. Aka a few hours on a weekday meaning I get some extra dollllas but more importantly I get to keep my staff discount card. Amaze. So for the first time in forever I have FREE weekends. Free weekends in London. Is that not just the best thing EVER?!  



The Canary Wharf views en route to work are a LOT nicer than those around Topshop in Abz. 


Naturally having no work at the weekend, I ended up at the shop. Ooops. I was surprisingly controlled and had the best time just exploring! 



1 of the best places ever.



Another 1 of the best places ever. What can I say, I love a department store! 


Week one, DONE. A chilled Sunday night is just what I needed so I'm ready for weeeeek 2! I am super excited because on Wednesday 2 of my fave fashionistas join me and Chloe in our wee flat and ITS GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN and I will definitely be blogging it all!
