Day 9 , London ♥ THE END!!

This would be our last day in London. This makes me very sad. I would have loved to spend so much more time with Alice. She truly is one of those friends you be super sad to be without ♥ She is AMAZING ♥

Oh oh! Before we start this post off I would like to post some pictures from the night before at the club. I was drunk but hey, don't we all love these pictures? ♥

This is what you can do with a paper tissue when you are drunk.
Looks fab on me ♥

Say hello to my little friend...ALICE ♥
Oh yeah the face of mine!!



She is so cute and I like her Vintage style ♥
I wish I rock clothes like that ♥


So that where some of the pictures from that night. Took me ages to pick them out. I guess I wanted to look as pretty as Alice at the pictures ♥



So! The last day. DUN DUN DUN.

We got up in time to get to the bank by Picadilly and waited for a long 15 minutes but....no of the cash machines was in order inside so oh hey. We had to do somewhere else and after that we headed to the Japanese bookshop. I was hoping to find WE ROCK or at least a gal magazine. Nothing. I ended up buying all my magazines at Japan centre. Still cheaper than in Sweden.

After all this we went to Bearded papa. A really nice place with Japanese cream puffs ♥ I had mine with chocolate cream!! A cream puff and some Popteen reading. FAB!

How good does that not look? And look at the coffee mug!
Bearded man, cute ♥


CREAAAAM PUFF ♥

By this some more shopping followed and in the end we ended up eating at WAGAMAMA before she went for her train hope and me to air port.

SIDE NOTE! It's funny that the place is named WAGAMAMA (わがまま) Wagamama is Japanese for Selfish/selfishness/egoism. Maybe it's selfish to go and eat there since it's so good? ♥


Yum yum! It was really good!

That is the end of my London saga and I miss it so much already! I want to go back as soon as I get back from Japan. LONDON I LOVE YOU ♥♥♥

I want to meet Alice again, I want to see my girls, the food, the shopping,The people who I never had time to see (T__T), the laughs...all of it again + more♥♥♥ Thank you all for this wonderful time ♥

XXXX
LOVE

Day 8 , London ♥

SO! Ages later I will now update with another London post.
I guess things been upside down and stressful as well! But here is the post.


At the 8th day me and my friend Alice went to BBC for a guided tour.
We got there too early so we decided to check out some shops in a nearby shopping centre. A lot of sale but nothing that fit.

When the tour finally started they showed us around all over the place.
There was very little of Dr Who which I had hoped for but better some than nothing!

Me and Tardis ♥
(Oh my am I wearing flats?)


EXTERMINATE!!

We later visited several places such as Victoria and Albert museum, The natural history museum, lunch at Starbucks and walked around in Kensington.


It was really good ♥

I would love to live like this.
Kensington.


We also went to the most wonderful little shop with vintage underwear. What Katie did it's called and well worth a visit! If you like beautiful underwear I think you should visit if you have the chance.

I think it's very charming ♥


And since this was our last day in London me and my friend decided to go out for a drink! It's not very hard to find a place to get a drink at around where we lived but we ended up in some cozy one with crazy bartenders!

I have no idea what we has but it all taste so delicious.


My friends second drink they set on fire!
All very cool. Wish I got a photo of that.


All and all a very nice day in London together with Alice ♥
Tomorrow will be my last London post but also the last day before going to Japan ♥
I'll keep you toned!

Day 7 , London ♥

On the morning of the 7th we got dressed since we where going to the ZOO ZOO ZOO (HOW ABOUT YOU YOU YOU? ...Silly song my friend taught me ♥)

I never been to the London Zoo before but I love Zoo's so of course we had to go to this one! We got up early, had an early breakfast and than headed off.

Somehow we managed to pick the day when every school in the country wanted to go to that Zoo but it was okay I guess. COME ON IT'S THE ZOO!!

So when we got there we had so much to pick from.

First we went to the reptile house! I love frogs and snakes ♥ Those really are my thing ♥

YES! That is a snake

Froggy froggy! Can you see it?

This one is so very pretty but as deadly

THEY RECORDED HARRY POTTER HERE! As the HP geek I am I got all excited ♥

After this we went to see numerous of animals. I'm not going to show you all the pictures but some of them

The famous Animalis Emmmelies!!

This tiger woke up while me and some kids looked at it! It decided to jump up on us

Me lost in the jungle

Oh just look at it! How cute is not that?

Munch munch munch

Oh yeah! Guarding the family from the evil homo sapiens!

On his back sleeping ♥

Mother and child

A moth in the butterfly house

Another butterfly ♥

I love Penguins and this little one was really cute ♥

More Penguins since they are my favourite animal ♥

We also did Brick lane after this and did some vintage shopping. Brick lane really is great for that! Too bad I did not have more money left but I ended up with 2 pair of shoes, 2 scarfs and numerous other things. Pictures later in my 'what I bought in London' post.

On a wall we passed in Brick lane

Later that evening we had dinner at a Swedish dining place named Fika. I was very excited since I am Swedish and my friends kept telling me that the British can't make food and non the less other countries food. This place proved my friends wrong.


We sat by this one! Fika ♥

The bar at 'Fika'

My friend eat one of the most traditional things ever when it comes to Swedish food. Meatballs, mashedpotatoes, brown sauce with lingonberry jam. To it the had a really good elderberry wine! I wish I would have picked that instead of water.

This is not what her food looked like but what it looks like back in Sweden!
I tasted her food and it was just as good ♥


Myself picked 'Plankstek' It's steak served on a plank with grilled mash around and served with Bearnaise sauce


Once again not the Plankstek I had but it looked the same and taste the same ♥

As dessert we had the Swedish Chocolate cake. It's a really rich and tasty chocolate cake. I first did not want any since I did not know if I had any room for it but made some anyway. As me and my friend say: Girls have 3 stomachs. One for chocolate, one for food and one for cake!

Cake ♥

We had a really good time and I also had a chance to speak Swedish. It's fantastic to speak your native language if you spent a week with another. When I move to London this is going to be my hangout

Day 5 + 6, London ♥

On my 5th day I was my day on my own before my friend arrived to London and concert time ♥

This day I just run around in London and took photos of my BJD doll at various famous places in London like the Tower bridge and St Pauls cathedral.

Here is some pictures:

St Pauls cathedral rose garden

Still in the garden

You can see tower bridge in the back

Tower bridge. It's also my current wallpaper ♥

After going all that way I took a red bus to the Elephant and Castle station. Quite a bit when other stations are closer but I really wanted to just ride by the bus for a while.

It's super exciting to sit in the very front on the top level of the bust when you don't have buses like that where you live.
At least for me ♥

After all this I got dead tired and went to sleep in my bunker bed at the hostel.



At my 6th day my friend Alice arrived ♥ She is one of my closest and most beloved ones so I was looking forward to meet her a lot ♥ I got all nervous while waiting for her (of course with no reason really since she is super ♥)

We met up at St Pauls subway station and together got to Oxford street to our new hostel. I decided to live at St Pauls when Oxford was booked up but moved there later with my friend.

When we finally got there we dropped our baggage of, did some refreshing and than got to know the hostel some before we left to shop on Oxford street and Westwood.

Got some stuff at the TOP SHOP sale and NOTHING at Westwood. I'm proud of myself to not buy anything in there. I saved my money for underwear later.

We also went to Japan centre bought some snacks, Ageha and had lunch. Really nice. (one of the cashiers working there had long hair and looked most delicious ♥)

Sushi from the Japan center

So after all this we got back to our room, dressed up and went to the Versailles gig.
I ADORE VERSAILLES. Well mostly Kamijo since I listened to his music since very young age. Felt good to see him live once again. Last time was last year.

This was my outfit for the live:

Mori girl

I find myself to be a gal and I love trends but also I do love Lolita and all things such...and I just had to try Mori once more. I think it fit the whole gig as well.

I had a fab gig, met new people, laughed and cried but most of all I felt happy. I had a wonderful time.

Day 3 + 4, London ♥

So for my 3rd day in London I did not have many gal activities added to my schedule.

As some of you may know I'm a BJD collector so I decided to go to the monthly London BJD meet ♥

With me to London I brought my doll Aubrey, a Migidoll Ryu ♥
So I got up in time, way to early, to get ready and to meet up my friend Hannah at Waterloo station to together walk to the Blue Bar on Level 4 of the Royal Festival Hall.

Hannah. Taken from her personal blog.
She is so cute ♥

When we arrived there was several girls there! They all looked so nice and humble and their dollies cute!

I did not take many pictures from the meet but if you would like to see some please go here and look at a friends photos.

This is my boy:

Aubrey ♥

After the whole meet I got and picked up a weekly Oyster card.
The lady working there got me the card cheaper and I never cared to tell her she did wrong really. 11 GPB for something that normally cost 25 GBP is a deal to me.


Tesco baby!


I got myself over at TESCO to buy some cheap food. Buy two for 2 GBP! MEAL DEAL ♥ also some fruit from Marks ans Spencer.




For my 4th day I met up with Marie again ♥ She was such a doll! It's too bad I don't have any pictures at all of our outfits this day! She had this truly pretty floral dress and killer heals.

We ended up going to Camden and did some shopping and bought cheap Chinese food for lunch.


They days where warm and very very humid so I always eat like a heavy lunch and a light dinner. Worked for me and for her too luckily!


Cheap Camden market Chinese food! So very good ♥

After a while the heels killed her feet and she took the grand dessision to take of her shoes and walk around in her thighs. How many times have I not done the same? Killer heels are just so pretty!!

We sat down in a park and let her feet breath a little. Poor feet ;;
She found her way home early which I find completely fine! Better to have happy feet!




I been shopping a lot and for those who wonder where the pictures of these things are I will now write: They will come up later. I need to take proper pictures of it all! So please be kind and wait ♥
