Exploring London Stay Cation

Hey all, it’s been another one of those weeks where time has just flown by and I can’t seem to slow down! Even having some time off work this past week I still haven’t had a moment to just chill at my laptop and write here. I miss blogging and that motivation I had for it in January. I think my lack of money, the cold weather and being so busy means I am lacking the inspiration right now.

London

On a more positive note, I spent a couple of days in London with Chris for our Anniversary and Valentines day (they have to be 2 days apart)!. It was so lovely to see some tourist type places and get a feel for the area we are going to be living in soon. We stayed in the best location as well, the Travelodge in Bank was down a lane which felt like we were in Paris! Apart from building work in the mornings (typical London) it would have been the perfect destination for any city break. I would definitely stay there again once the works have finished as the room was perfect for what we needed.

Chris and I went on a Thames lunch boat cruise on Friday and it was amazing! I took him as a surprise and it was such a great experience. We also went and viewed our flat again we are moving into in 4 weeks time and it made me even more excited to move! As you can see I love the city and i’m really starting to feel like it’s where I belong. Albeit a bit sad to leave my family and worried about money I know it’s the right future for us!

In London I always feel like dressing slightly smarter! I’m never entirely sure why. This outfit was really simple but I wanted to photograph it to show off the shirt/blouse. I love the detail on the collar and think a black skater skirt and cute cardigan are the only things it needed to accompany it.

Shirt – Chicwish
Cardie – Primark (old)
Skirt – Topshop
