Sunday morning…
rain is falling…
yesterday is supposed to be
our sight-seeing exploration around Central London
we kicked start our journey at 8.00 a.m.
but the continuous drizzling
on top of the attack of wind
by noon
decided to call our exploration a day
oh my
ended up at Oxford Circus
for more marketing survey
no that’s not an excuse
we went to Trafalgar Square, Chinatown,
and also Westminster for the whole 3 hours
my feet were quite soaking wet already
minutes to 11.30 p.m.
Oxford Circus
a crowd was seen right in front of Topshop
waiting for the store to be opened
and here we went
I bet some are just like us
to cold to go anywhere else
looking for a cozy shelter
it felt a little bit like Christmas shopping rush indeed
nothing much
despite some digging done
at the mark-down section
next stop, New Look
because I was looking for a peach blazer for besties
saw one at Primark, 19 Pounds
it is just okay, given that price
moreover,
topping up a little more,
allows a better version at
Cotton On, Bershka, Forever 21 back there
an “insider tip” given is that
can get blazer under ten pounds
during New Look sales
therefore I ended up here
no blazer was found
but bumped into something else
both very Fossil-looking clutch and bag
but at Primark-price
9 and 10 Pounds respectively
look of the day
varsity baseball jacket
new from Primark yesterday
for the supposedly sight-seeing tour
all the three tops
I were about to put on
are of the same genre:
summer tank top
but at least I made a great leap
didn’t you see the huge patch of yellow
glowing at the background?
never.. red and yellow are
next to non-existence in my wardrobe
but given this design
I have to surrendered
even if it is yellow
on the contrast
another colour I always find it difficult to say no
but I think it looks slightly better
like that
the last piece
which is the combination of the two above
yellow x baby blue
plus tie-knot
2nd round of fitting section
spotted it but hesitated
formal-looking navy blue pants,
going at 7 Pounds
actually it is not so formal, after all
depending of what you matching with
and it goes pretty well with my varsity jacket too
just please ignore the stupid sock on one right
it is supposed to be hidden
next stop, H&M
these dresses are six Pounds each
they are actually at the girl’s department
but can easily fit in a size 14+years
which is a pretty good deal
my chambray blazer
already saw it at three different H&M stores
going for 30 pounds
but my manager helped me to grab it online
for half the price
isn’t this cute
unfortunately doesn’t look good
when I put them on
bulging at the two sides
basically it is more like an artist cap
rather than the cadet cap I was always looking for
Sportsdirect
one of the most-visit in the U.K.
especially for the guys
all the major sports brand are available
at discounts up to 70% off
and actually
they have fanciful street wears
if you were to dig slowly
eg: some lovely bags right at the top
I used my umbrella to hook this down
after standing there for so long
then I gave up
and finally some salesperson helped me with these
so which is good huh
in the mean time
I tried out this one too
flora mini dress from Ocean Pacific (O.P.)
it has been awhile since I last bought flora dress
and this is part of my “Conquering Map” to
own all the “beachy” brands
from Roxy, Rip Curl, Billabong…
and now to O.P,
we were done shopping after 4p.m.
finally the sun came out
to tired to explore already, unfortunately
loots of the day:
I bought this
because it looked too Fossil
and given the price, ten Pounds
probably it is not sometimes I would be using all the time
but can always share it with mom back home
and isn’t this awesome
going back to Fossil
they are selling an iPad case for 60+ Pounds
the flora bag
and it can be furthered tied tightly
to become like this
third pair of formal pants in my life?
a plait hemp belt for two Pounds
third belt that I have ever bought in my life
the second one was one day ago
I thought I just plaited my own hemp belt
two weeks back..
and it is actually sleeping in my luggage right now
nevermind…
and all the so-summer tank tops
I feel bad when
I got a Hello Kitty for besties at Harrods
but didn’t get one for my niece
therefore
just like the Pacman lunchbox
this is something very very random indeed
a lunch box
no worries, I did not buy two
they are actually dual-sided
to facilitate the transportation process
that’s how I gonna put them
rest-in-peace Kitty
need no explanation
the flora dress
to tell the truth
I don’t really fancy flora dress nowadays
and spaghetti dress too
just for the sake that it’s O.P.
hoping that my boss sis would just grab this
as to the three tote bags
I can’t make up my mind with
I took the blue one to the paying counter
till I saw this at the cap section
and decided to just forget about the tote bag
aha it is actually called the Gatsby cap
by Major Baseball League
the all so familiar logo
(being one of the most popular counterfeited product)
these are for my dad, Slazenger
which looks like Puma, but it is not
is indeed cheap here
because Sports Direct actually own the trademark
actually they are more to explore at Oxford Circus
but our feet were already aching
and I would end up with empty purses
and feasting on the air for food
for the 20 more days to come
