Today I got out of bed made my breakfast and went straight to the west end. I did a bit of window shopping and went to see the christmas lights.
This year the christmas theme is Marmite. "You either love it or you hate it". There were a few different lights, there was santa turning green at the smell of Marmite, elves puking into stockings, and fairies that looked like they were quite enjoying Marmite on toast.
Marmite for those of you who haven't heard of, or tasted is a spread that's made from yeast extract,which is pretty salty, often spread on toast. Marmite is a very British product that you either love or hate.
The christmas lights weren't mind blowing, they were pretty dull in my opinion. I feel like the window displays were more much more interesting, which is a shame really because oxford street usually inspresses and inspires.
The window display for Selfridges was quite nice, this one was nutcracker inspired and looked quire nice, the doll on the right was turning like a pretty ballerina.
I thought this was a pretty good window display. A nice little bit of glamping(glam camping) meets childhood experience of having a make shift tent in the middle of the living room.
Once me and mum did out shopping and walked the whole of Oxford street I decided since were so close we might aswell go full on christmassy and go winterwonderland aswell. Winter Wonderland comes around every year, its like a chritmas themed funfair/carnival. With the big wheel, bauble ride and the sled rollercoaster.
I've been there every year since it first started and it's a nice place to be when the weather gets a bit chilly and you've got your bobble hat and mittens on. It's a place where you get a touch ofchristmas spirit.
Today taking out my camera with me was great and I think I will most definately be keeping it in my bag from now on to capture all the great places I go and all the interesting things I see. I hope you guys liked the pictures and if you're in the UK I would deinately recommend visiting Winter Wonderland and Oxford street. I never got round to going to Harrods, so I'm going to save that for another weekend.
Lots of love

Yesterday I got a text. It was from a old friend I made at uni. I haven't seen her since graduation and today we decided to meet up at oxford street and have lunch together.
We went to a quant little organic restaraunt that was off Oxford street and near Carnaby street. I decided to pick the open avocado and pumpkin seed sandwich that was both organic and vegan accompanied with a glass of freshy squeezed orange juice.
The food was delightful and the company was even better. It's been almost a year since we'dlast seen eachother and it was great catching up on all the things we've done since we graduated.
After our lovely meal we went to Carnaby street, it's a nice pedestrian street full of little boutiques and a whole bunch of little cafes on the corners of every street.
In the end we decided to go the a nice tea house where we had a rose bud tea and slice of lemon cake that I so incredibly tasty I was temped to ask for the recipe. My day was great I was amazed at how much of London I'm missing because I haven't ventured to different places.
Today was great and I look forward to meeting up with her again soon.
Lots of loveMLP
Tired doesn't begin to explain how I feel right now....
This week at work has been absolutely manic. Lately work is really getting on top of me and I can't seem to get meet deadlines. So I've decided to giveit one hundred percent and be completely on my game and hope this will be the push me and the team need to get us on track and have work run and maybe even leave work on time.
Everything has to be done to deadlines and lately I seem to be falling behind further and further behind just chasing my tail, with my to do list growing longer and everytime I tick something else get added...
The only thing keeping me going is that tomorrow I get to have my little break from it all and go to Vogue's Fashion Night Out.
The whole of Oxford street will be a buzz with fashion being in the forefront with all the focus being on the new collections and designers making a guest appearances in the shops. I've never been, but reading all the great stories about previous years make is making me so excited...Tomorrow I'm putting on my most comfortable shoes, armed with my camera and a card.
Lots of love
