WHAT AILISH DID

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!

First off, sorry this week is so late! A Funday Sunday lasted forever then washing needed to be done on Monday and before I knew it's Wednesday morning and I'm having a lazy one before Topshop!

Week 7 at placement flew past again, it was a quieter one with admin tasks and lots of calls. It was pancake day on Tuesday though so we were treated to some pancakes for lunch! On Tuesday night me and Michelle tried to make some pancakes of our own, but that was a complete disaster and there's not even photographic evidence. Fail.

We decided to go out for a few drinks on Friday night to celebrate the end of another week at our placements, and we ended up in Leister Square for some frozen strawberry daiquiris, my favourite!

After hearing that the weekend was gonna be warm and sunny, we soon made plans to spend it in the sun! On Saturday morning we headed back to the Breakfast Club for another round of their amazing All American - pancakes with bacon and sausages, covered in maple syrup! It wouldn't have been complete without an Elvis shake, peanut butter and banana, amazing.

To make the most of the sunshine we went to St James park for the afternoon, and it was so beautiful!

We walked down the Mall to Trafalger Square, then all up Regent Street untill we found Carnaby Street where we looked at all the cute shops! Before we headed to the flat we somehow ended up in Topshop, oooops.

It was 17 degrees on Sunday and it was the best day ever! Definitely one of my favourite days in London so far! We rented Boris bikes and cycled all around Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace in the sun. Of course we took some more selfies with the Queen! It was so much fun! We spent the whole day on our bikes and even got some more back in Bethnal Green and cycled to London Fields for a few drinks outside in some of the cute pubs.

Some random guy joined in and we never even notice...funny!

Weekends in London are the best! Only 4 more till I'm heading home it's crazy!

I cannot believe it but I have been living in London for 6 weeks and I'm half way through my internship...how did that happen?!

Having a 10-5 job makes the weekdays literally fly past, and this week at Felicities was a fun one. Lots of the designers new collections are arriving in the showroom and it's so much fun seeing and getting to know it all. The week was spent updating client bases, seeing new collections and eating so much cake as usual, complete with a visit to the Fashion and Textile museum which I loved!

On Wednesday it was such a lovely sunny day, so before I went to work at Topshop, my roomie Michelle and I went for a little walk and found St Paul's Cathederal. After a little confusion as to which royals got married there, we took some photos of the beautiful building in the sun!

On Thursday night, my friend from uni Fiona and I wanted to get out of our tiny little flats and decided to try Snowflake Gelato in Soho and it was one of our best decisions.. So yummy. I had Nutella waffles with salted caramel ice cream and it was soo nice!

This weekend I didn't have any plans, but that didn't last long, because as soon as I found out one of my flatmates had never been to Harrods, we automatically decided where we were spending our Saturday! We ditched the ghetto and headed to Chelsea and oh my god, I belong on the West side. I don't know what it is but as soon as I'm in a department store I feel so happy and content! (It's probably the fact that I'm surrounded by thousands of designer handbags.) I am literally combination of Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's and Rebecca Bloomwood from Confessions of a Shopaholic, because whenever I am in a place like Harrods the world is right and I am planning my 21st birthday present like a crazy.

Yes we were literally in there so long the sky changed from sunny to night.

I somehow resisted the voice in my head telling me it was perfectly OK to buy a Mulberry willow in every colour and left with only a macaroon. It was an amazing macaroon though.

My flatmate Michelle and I spent Saturday night in our jammies eating basically everything and re living our childhood with disney channel sing alongs, and it was the best thing.

We had big plans for Sunday.....and by big plans I mean we were heading to Selfridges! I told you I was obsessed. I AM A DEPARTMENT STORE ADDICT and if anyone knows how I can live in one, please let me know. Once again I spent all my imaginary money on amazing handbags and shoes, when in reality I raided the food court. Krispy Kreme, Pinkberry AND YO Sushi. I regret nothing because it was all delicious.

The box had 'One for me, one for you, one to share' written on it but I may or may not have eaten them all one after the other.

I firmly believe that Sundays are meant for shopping and eating, (and loosing Michelle in Forever 21 which is literally a weekly occurrence in my life now) so today was definitely a success.

I can't believe I have 6 weeks left in London! It makes me happy and sad but I am so excited for even more adventures and fun!

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.
